It’s a great design tool and isn’t too overwhelming with options. You can do a lot, I just wish you could save vector files.
Pros
It’s really easy to use and has so many brush styles and drawing tools.
Cons
I wish you could save vector files and pick a canvas size from the start of your new document.

It was a wonderful experience, it's still one of my favourite drawing and painting software on Mobile phone.
Pros
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
Cons
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

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!
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.

I'm old enough to remember using the old glass bottle Magic Markers but since going digital, with the help of Sketchbook, Photoshop and CSP, I find I am more productive in terms of speed and quality of work.
Drawing in Sketchbook is incredibly intuitive and satisfying, I only wish I could open more than one file at a time.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Benefits and struggles of Sketchbook
Reviewed on 2022/02/19
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
