The paid version gives you access to SketchBook for both desktop platforms and will unlock features in future versions of the SketchBook app for iOS and Android. A standalone license costs $65.Ĭalling up the Fisheye perspective, alongside 1-, 2-, and 3-point perspectives from a contextual menu. SketchBook Pro now offers intuitive guides for 1-point, 2-point, 3-point and fisheye perspectives so you can adjust vanishing points and horizon lines on or beyond the canvas. Strokes will snap to the grid as you lay out lines in perspective. Selections are always difficult, but version 7 offers some new selection capabilities with the addition of Polyline and Magic Wand. Selection modes let you add, remove and invert objects. Persistent Selection lets you switch layers and tools while keeping the selection active and paint within the isolated region. The Flipbook mode opens a new key frame timeline featuring onion-skinning and playback control for depicting motion. Developed in collaboration with Autodesk’s Maya team, Flipbook Animation mode lets you use a traditional animation workflow within the SketchBook interface. New dynamic gradient Flood Fill tools have also been added to the app so that you can lay out solid, linear and radial gradients, or add and remove swatches on the color slider. You can also adjust transitions and fill direction by setting the end point swatches, flipping the direction of the gradient, and filling multiple selected regions. Version 7 offers improvements to the layer editor, including the addition of layer grouping, expanded blending modes for special effects, background color and multi-layer selection. That means you can transform or position several layers at once and transform or adjust the opacity of layer groups simultaneously. The new background layer allows users to select a background color directly from the embedded color wheel in the editor window. New Magic Wand selection tool joins the new Polyline tool in this version. Users can now manipulate artwork with the dynamic Distort Transform tool. Distort lets you easily place and adjust perspective. Pull and drag on the corner manipulators, or grab a bounding line to skew partial layers, multiple layers or groups. Drag the center bias manipulator to further explore the distortion. SketchBook Pro 7 works on Mac OS X 10.8 and higher, and Windows 7 and 8 and requires at least 1GB of RAM.I own several digital painting programs (Photoshop CS6, Painter X3, and ArtRage 4)-but Sketchbook Pro is my favorite sketching software. It is both easy and fun to use-yet it contains a wealth of advance features that will enable you to create complex drawings and paintings. I've included a video to show some of the features of this program. I've also created review videos of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and Corel Painter 2015 so you could view those to see how those programs compare to Sketchbook. Hopefully this will enable you to select the best software depending on what you want to do! One of the main reasons why I like Sketchook Pro for drawing is that the pencil tool provides the closest sensation to sketching with traditional pencil and paper of any software program that I've used. Combine Sketchbook Pro 7 with a pressure sensitive laptop, tablet, or Wacom Cintiq monitor and the experience is very similar to using a pencil on paper.Īnother major reason I like Sketchbook is the simplicity of the interface. The workspace is not filled up with menu bars and palettes. If you are using a small monitor, laptop, or tablet you will really appreciate this feature. Here is a list of other features that I really like.ġ. The variety of brushes, pencils, markers, etc. and the ability to change the brushes and create your own.Ģ. This is an easy program to learn-at least the basics.
