The new versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote include the ability to draw freehand with the Apple Pencil, or your finger. You can use a variety of drawing tools when in this mode. The result is an image that can be arranged just like any shape or imported photo.

this was really, really helpful. I am thinking of getting a new iPad w/pencil and wasn't sure what capabilities I would have. Thanks for getting me started! :) :) :)
Hi Great video’s, only problem I have found is that I used to use Apple Pencil to edit my iPad spreadsheets but now every time I tap a cell up pops drawing, quite frustrating.
Does this work in the Mac version of Keynote/Pages/Numbers? I have tried and don't think it does, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Jerusha: No. This is a function of the touch screen/Apple Pencil. So since the Mac doesn't have either of those... But you can use any drawing app of your choice, create a graphic, and insert that into these apps just as you could have always done. You can also use the built-in shapes tool.
I want the option of turning off the drawing/illustration function so I don’t have to go back and forth between pencil and finger. Give me a button to Manual turn this function on and off. What is Apple doing about this frustration????
