Without a stylus, your iPhone drawings might not come out all that well. And frankly, unless you're a talented artist, you might not create any masterpieces drawn on an iPhone.

That said, it's fun to draw on your iPhone, and the doodles you create can enhance a photo, charm a friend, or just amuse you creatively.

Both the iPhone's Photos app and Notes app come with all the tools you need to create colorful sketches, and both make it easy to share your artwork with others.

Here's how to do it.

When done, tap the yellow word "Done," then the blue word "Done," and the photo will be saved with your artwork added.
