Should be possible.at least, I can zoom in my sketch.
How's sketching on the trackpad work? Or have you just done it on iOS devices?
Got a tip for us?

Has Notes just killed Evernote and OneNote?

I have just done it on iOS device. Currently OS X version cannot create sketch using trackpad.

I agree. I use Evernote by leaving everything in one notebook and use Tags to search to find a note I need.
What drives me nuts about notes is that you can't sort alphabetically. Don't understand why Apple doesn't think that this is important. I'm always searching thru my lists. At least ios9's new version allows me to use images as "icons" which makes things a little easier.
And now El Capitan actually removed the "sort by" option!

Amen brother. I would love to use Apple's notes app, but the inability to sort alphabetically is prohibitive for my needs. OneNote is great but I really dislike the Mac interface. So, Evernote it is, despite the ridiculous "you can't have locally saved notes unless you pay us" aspect of the app.
C'mon Apple, such an awesome app with lots of features but you leave out the ability to sort notes??? That's such a standard feature to every note app out there! Sort it out!
None of my feedback made it into the new notes version :
:- Password protected notes / encryption like evernote (Apple could use touch ID to open notes)
- versioning
- share sheet paste options for either paste content or link
- custom backgrounds
- OCR
- Geolocation of where note was taken in a map view like evernote
- OS X - a way to backup all your notes back exporting them into a zip of PDFs
- Sharing notes with others to collaboratively work on (Pages works, but having this in note would be neat)
- Ability to copy in formatted tables - any basic tabling feature!
Somewhat reminiscent of Google Keep: lots of potential, little interest by the creator.
None of those features sound like basic features Apple would want to add and clutter their notes app.None of my feedback made it into the new notes version

I don't believe the new Notes app includes a 'create a table' feature but maybe there is a way to create a table in Numbers and copy/paste it into Notes? I will try later today and report back.
If it can do this, then I'll use it more. Evernote formatting completely sucks and they've never fixed it. I'm not sure what Evernote does all day, but it surely isn't working on their core app. Coping/pasting from any Office product into Evernote should retain its formatting.
I recently switched from Evernote on my Mac to Pages on my iPad for note taking in class due to their formatting issues when placing a table or picture. Now I'm hoping I can jump to the Notes app due to the ability to draw/sketch.
it's getting close, I'm still stuck using onenote for all my work notes (Multiple people, multiple platforms). But as far as personal notes, I've always used the stock notes app.

You should give it a try. I mainly use it for my uni stuff to take notes. I can group sections by semester and by subjects. I love it.
It did for me. I happily deleted all other Note apps and haven't looked back. Notes does all I need and more.
Aside from all the great features they added it sync's more reliably than any of the other notes apps I tried!
