Copic colors are available. > > **Cons**: The user interface is a bit outdated. The lasso and selection tools can get better. > > Its a great tool to sketch when it comes to freehand drawings. Airbrush feature along with copic colors makes it perfect for art. ----- ### "A Hobby in my Pocket" — 5.0/5 > **Llana Melissa** | *15 February 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about this software is it brings out my creativity without limiting what I can do because of the brush types and editing features available. > > **Cons**: It would be so cool if there were more funky fonts or calligraphy style fonts available. Right now there are plenty fonts to choose from but I’m hoping there would be more. > > When I first tried using Sketchbook I thought it would be so hard but I ended having fun. Sketching during my free time is just relaxing and fun. I love that I can use the app in my phone too\! ----- ### "Benefits and struggles of Sketchbook" — 3.0/5 > **Gal** | *19 February 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sketchbook has a great variety of brushes, allowing you to recreate your favorite traditional media or adopting a new technique and style. Sketchbook is ideal for those random drawing ideas you get while out of the house (remember the software doesnt reach its full potential unless it's paired with a pressure sensitive stylus) > > **Cons**: While you can get anythin you may need for sketching and drawing, there are some functions that are limited in sketchbook that you can get in other drawing softwares regarding editing, heavy rendering and vectors ----- ### "great creative tool" — 4.0/5 > **Erwin** | *13 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Apart from it's wide selection of brushes and pens, Sketchbook allows the user to create architectural perspective views from it's built perspective grids and customizable vanishing points. > > **Cons**: it would be nice if it allows scaling of objects and grids. > > An awesome tool for my presentation work. It is intuitive, very easy to use and allows you to explore more of your creative side that you cannot do with a regular sketchpad and pen. ----- ### "Free and easy to learn" — 5.0/5 > **Krista** | *08 December 2022* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it's an app for your phone that's free and has lots of features included, everything you need to draw and lots of brushes- pencils, pens, spray paint, watercolors, acrylic, inks and crayons > > **Cons**: I haven't found any cons, the app always opens up easily and it's quick to export your drawing. Maybe some other apps have additional features but I've only try sketchbook as it was the one that had the best reviews compared to others when I searched. > > I love using sketchbook for drawings and I especially like that you can import any photo or picture you have saved on your phone, change the transparency, so you can trace over it and make it your own with brushes. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049833/sketchbook?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2049833/sketchbook) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
