Product Description


Product Description

Budding artists, casual doodlers, and seasoned sketchers alike will enjoy SketchBook Mobile for their Android device. SketchBook Mobile, from the makers of the popular SketchBook desktop software, provides a full-featured drawing application and image studio that lets you follow your artistic bliss wherever you go with your device.

SketchBook Mobile
Get your creative juices flowing
Versatile Tools

Your screen becomes your canvas, and SketchBook Mobile provides a surprisingly complete set of professional-grade sketching tools. You start by selecting from among 40+ included brushes, pencils, pens, and airbrushes, and an extensive variety of brush characteristics. Many brush settings are provided so you can easily adjust your brush's width to match your creative intent. You can also select the brush's opacity, and choose from a virtually unlimited number of colors, letting you find the right shade the moment you want it.

SketchBook Mobile
Create with endless tool options
Layers Upon Layers

Want to use a thick red brush on one section but a narrow green pen on another? By allowing you to include up to six layers for each image, SketchBook Mobile gives you tremendous control over your work. Each layer you add can be created and edited separately, and then you can combine them all into a single image. All layers can be scaled or rotated individually.

Import / Export

Photos from your phone or an SD card can easily be imported into the SketchBook Mobile app, which allows you to add drawings or your own unique touch to any photo or any image you'd like to import. For additional flexibility, any image you create can be saved to your phone's SD card or exported to another computer via e-mail. With the in-app emailing option, you can also easily share your creations with your audience. Importantly, images can be saved as JPEG, PNG, or layered PSD files, giving you the freedom to use SketchBook Mobile with other image creation software you might have on your laptop or PC.

Easy to Use

SketchBook Mobile is surprisingly easy to use for such an involved application. At launch, you're presented with a blank white canvas with a single circular icon at the bottom of your screen. Touching that circle brings up easy-to-use icons of brush sizes, effects, the color palette, and more. Use pinch-to-zoom controls to get in close for highly detailed creations. Even a novice will be creating artwork in minutes.

SketchBook Mobile's intuitive interface connects your creativity with your drawing quickly and easily. There's nothing stopping you from using your Android device as your canvas, anytime and anywhere inspiration strikes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best dollar ever for an artist March 29, 2011
By sraz
This app is actually quite amazing. Although you are certainly limited by screen space this is still the best dollar you can spend on.... a sketch book. Even though I am by no means an artist, I'll still find myself making colorful doodles and some business card ideas within this app. The interface is rather intuitive and quite productive once you get used to it.

Granted the average user could probably get by with the free version, I really feel the app was worth far more than 1 dollar. Some people might like some more flexibility; I'm just waiting to save for a tablet and stylus ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best dollar an artist could spend April 18, 2011
By TC
Amazon Verified Purchase
A nice little art program that I enjoy on my pc is now in the palm of my hand. This program makes almost no compromise in its design. Just a about every thing is here, even layers. best results with a stylus but you can do great stuff with your fingers too. There is currently nothing that comes close to this app in its capabilities on the market. I find it ideal in sketching ideas on the go. A practiced and steady hand is required. As a creative person this is one of my personal top ten apps for Android. I hope more apps like this come out in the future. Currently being used on a thunderbolt.

I've been seeing reviews that say that this app no longer works on Kindle Fire, and I am pleased to amend all these statements by saying that it does indeed work on the Kindle Fire...and it really is amazing.

It's fine that there are plenty of brush shapes, but there are a lot of novelty shapes. There is no soften tool, so blending is done by changing colors frequently. Read more
