🌊 Mastering SwiftUI Drawing β€” Animated Loaders, Waves & Custom UI with Shape, Path & Canvas

Hey SwiftUI builders πŸ‘‹

I've just published a detailed guide on SwiftUI’s drawing system β€” and it’s more powerful than most people realize!

In this article, I cover:

  • 🌊 Creating full-screen animated ocean waves using Canvas and TimelineView
  • πŸ”„ Building custom loaders with Shape and gradient-stroked Path
  • 🧠 When to use Shape vs Path vs Canvas β€” explained with real-world use cases

No external libraries, no fluff β€” just clean, modern SwiftUI techniques you can start using today.

πŸ‘‰ Read the full article on Medium

Would love to hear your feedback or see what you've drawn with SwiftUI!
