Sketchbook is free to download on your iPad device from the Apple App Store.

But now it’s free – and yet still superb – it would almost be an insult to not download it, even if you can barely scribble a stick-person. You’d usually expect to pay a fair amount for this kind of quality – and once, SketchBook did have a price-tag attached. And transform, shape, and text tools provide scope when you’re working on technically oriented illustrations rather than free-form doodling. Multiple layers afford you flexibility when working on complex compositions.

There are dozens of brushes, which mimic all kinds of real-world tools. It’s of course far from alone on the App Store, but what sets SketchBook apart is the sheer range of things you can do with the app.ĭespite the minimal interface, there’s tons to discover. Autodesk SketchBook is a drawing app for iPad.
