You can also adjust layer opacity.Īs for colors, you get customizable color swatches and a color wheel with RBG and HSB color space. You can import from your Camera Roll to work on layers duplicate, reorder, and merge layers and move layers around using multi-touch gestures. The not-so-awesome part is that there’s no auto-save feature and if the app crashes, you lose your work. You can work up to six layers and you can save and export a layered file, which is awesome. You can customize the brush settings for each brush. You get more than 60 preset brushes and have the option for 90 more. The app offers an impressive choice of brushes and stamps.įeatures include custom canvas sizes, full-screen work space, a multi-touch interface, and high-quality brushes and tools. The eyedropper tool is kind of erratic to use. The color palette is easy to use but it would be great if you could change the color without having to open the brush palette each time. Some users might prefer an always-open toolbar, so maybe that is an option for future updates. On the other hand, if you’re using a stylus, you may find the three-finger tap to call up the toolbar to be a little irritating. The app is designed to work best using your fingers, not a stylus, so if you don’t have one it’s no worry. Users will enjoy the intuitive user interface and in-app help. The app requires just under 30MB of space. It was updated on Apand is available in English only. is a fantastic paint and drawing app that will hold its own against any digital sketching app.

Overall, Clip Studio just feels more professional to me…the other two seem stripped down by comparison.SketchBook Pro for iPad by Autodesk Inc. Lagginess was a deal breaker for me on both ArtRage and Sketchbook - I did testing with all three on a 3300 x 4200 pixel canvas size (11″ x 14″ at 300 dpi resolution). Most importantly, Clip Studio can keep up with rapid sketching at high resolution without lagging.
I also downloaded and tested ArtRage 5 and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, but ultimately chose Clip Studio Paint for its depth of features…such as finer control of taper on both ends of strokes, and amazing vector capabilities, without it looking like vector work:

no scanning or photography required lossless full resolution, ready to print can rotate the drawing this way and that (for easier cross-hatching, for example) can handle high resolution drawing/painting for gallery quality prints up to 17 x 22 (biggest we can print ourselves)
more relaxing since everything I did was an “experiment” which wouldn’t mess up what I’d done so far if I decided I didn’t like it ability to reposition/resize without erasing then re-drawing (one of the things that was off-putting when I used to paint portraits if a perfectly good eye was a smidge out of place, there was no choice but to paint it out and re-do it!) can work large without smudging from hand on paper darken/lighten individual strokes, a section, or entire drawing easily (using vector layers) ability to place various parts on different layers natural/realistic look and feel of the various pencil tools It was fun! I feel a little sad that I enjoyed it more than conventional pencil on paper, but I’m also excited by the fresh possibilities of going digital.
#Sketchbook pro review how to
I didn’t set out with the intention of compositing them together…or any intention, really, I was just trying to figure out how to use new software ( Clip Studio Paint, aka Manga Studio, Mac desktop version, using Intuous4 PTK-440 Wacom tablet), settle on what resolution to use, try out the various pencil tools, and so on. I found it more relaxing - more right brain less left brain - to do it that way. It’s frankensteined together from three separate sketches: one for each eye, and one for nose/mouth: (Would you have known it was drawn using a stylus instead of on paper if I hadn’t said anything?)
This sketch is a step along that path, a step that may represent a fork in the path actually, toward digital media rather than pencil on paper: I’ve missed some days, but am definitely drawing a lot more, and enjoying the process.
