Sketchbook Reviews

Easy to use, has a lot of useful tools and you can add more tools, you can even download more textures from the official sketchbook site, has a lot of brushes and pens, works excellent on digital tablets, and has a mobile version.

At the moment I didn't experience any bad things with the program.

Intuitive and user-friendly interfaceWide range of tools and features for digital drawing and paintingEmulation of traditional art tools like brushes and pencilsLarge color palette optionsLayers feature for advanced editing and compositingImport/export options for easy sharing and use in other projectsSuitable for both professional artists and hobbyistsRegular updates and new features added

Some features may require a subscription or in-app purchaseLimited 3D modeling capabilities compared to other softwareSome users may find the interface cluttered or overwhelmingSome users may find the software too simple for advanced or professional useSome users may experience performance issues on older devicesSome users may find the cost too highSome users may find the learning curve steep.

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)

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

Intuitive interface: designed to be easy to use, with tools and functions accessible and clearly organized.Various brush options: including fine-tip, broad-brush, pencil, airbrush, and more, for greater creative flexibility.Precise Drawing Tools: ruler guidance, radial symmetry, construction lines, and other tools to help create accurate and symmetrical drawings.Layer support: ability to work with multiple layers allows you to create more complex drawings and make changes more efficiently.Image import: for reference or to integrate them into your work.

If you are looking for a versatile and affordable digital drawing app, Sketchbook may be a good choice. However, if you need more advanced or specific features, you may need to use specialized software.Besides the lack of advanced features likes 3d modeling or very specialized ones, It lacks the text feature: Sketchbook does not offer the ability to add text to your artwork, which may limit some design options.It also has some limitations for processing large files: while the app can handle a wide range of resolutions, it can be less efficient when it comes to working with large files, especially on less powerful devices. In fact, it is designed more for agile works on mobile devices.

I like its tools, it has many colours many brushes and a pen .
I like to use my pen tablet to draw Paintings or any view.
it has a contemporary style for the tools bar.
I like using Sketchbook, like the board to teach my class.
Easy to use, you don't need a course to become a professional using, suitable for all ages and different fields.

sometimes, on my mac, I can't see the tools bar

Sketchbook is very easy to use. It doesn't over complicate things with to many tools that you dont know how to use anyway

The mobile app is a not as user friendly as the desktop based version

User friendly tool for sketching digitally, has great options from pencils, pen to airbrushes. Copic colors are available.

The user interface is a bit outdated. The lasso and selection tools can get better.

The software is open to all and is free to use.

In my opinion, the software has not any demerits for initial users.

Quality of saved images, ability to save in various formats, options of brushes, layers and colors, intuitive functions, fun usage and ability to get better as you get more and more experience with the ap

Mobile app is not as good as the desktop version, everything is limited and I don't find it intuitive. I use the desktop app frequently and find that I can not use the mobile app practically at all.

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.

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.

I think the drawing brushes and pencils for linework are some, if not the best I have found in a drawing app.
I especially like the snap to curve, elipse and perspective rulers.

I am a storyboard artist which means I am usually drawing and colouring a number of frames at once, sometimes as many as 30-40 frames. I would love to be able to open up a number of frames so I can achieve uniformaty of line and colour across the frames. I also dearly miss the Copic colours you used to have.

the best software for drawing anything you need

in reality, the software provides everything you need to draw so I don't see any disadvantage in it till now

Sketchbook is a software that allows users to easily draw/sketch, paint and create illustrations. It is a software I would advise a lot of illustrators to get. The brushes present in the software are very helpful when drawing or painting, also it supports the use of stylus for mobile phones

The only problem I have with sketchbook is that when I use it on my mobile phone along with a digital graphics tablet, I find it difficult to draw lines at a go compared to when I use Autodesk on my laptop with the same graphic tablet

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.

it would be nice if it allows scaling of objects and grids.

This is a fun way to draw, paint or stretch anything you want on your mobile device.

Sometimes it doesn't save my work and I hope it can be fixed.

I liked this software because I wanted to create some portraits and some designs that I can draw by my self this software have many tools that I used in my project.

Some features were not that much useful. Sometime the custom brush don't work properly. Some tools are hard to find and not easy. there should be a tutorial for it.

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

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.

This software is just amazing, it doesn't take up system space and it very user friendly

Some features like perspective take longer to load up

>The software is completely free of cost>>The user interface is clean with no clutters and confusing icons> Custom brushes level up the usage experience of an artist>It's one of the most dynamic and highly fluid software for any artist.

>User has to have some knowledge about the vast options.>The interface looks old but can be improvised.>Mobile app has lesser options.

our office, architectural firm, uses this program to generate hand drawn, sketchy feel of building renderings. The outcome is always beautiful, just like an artist's sketchbook.

It's not very easy to learn all the features at once. If you are a beginner, you have to get used to the functions and be able to maneuver in order to fully utilize the features this program offers.

It is a free software and it can be great to start digital art. Can be downloaded into your phone or tablet.

Limited amount of layers and can be quite tedious because some tools are scattered in other tabs.

This program has a great price and tons of features. It always runs smoothly and my team and I enjoy working with it to collaborate. Works exceptionally well on all platforms and operating systems.

This program is not an art industry standard in my creative networks.

The brushes are so smooth and amazing, I totally loved them.

I hope they develop the windows version to become more user-friendly, and also to work on adjusting more shortcuts.

1. So many pencils , brushes , texture and shapes.
2. Easy to use
3. Color picker is so nice.
4. I can also import image or draw styles

1. The onboarding experience can be improved
2. Provide some guide to use the app

I was going to buy a drawing tablet, but I was still determining what I needed until this came along.

Adding a photo and moving it around to a drawing was challenging.
