Leave a Review Sketch Club
Okay interface, horrid community
The drawing interface is quite intuitive and easy to use, makes it great to edit photos or draw art on your phone or iPad, however the community side of the app is awful. It should be rated at least 12+, if not 17+.
Children can easily access settings to view “mature sketches” e.g. artistic nudity, while other parts of the community/website functions are extremely clunky and don’t mesh well together. The community itself is very toxic, art theft is rampant, there is an ugly divide between younger and adult artists, which the developer doesn’t lift a finger to stop despite his activity within the community. Yes, I’m talking about you, Jim.
Arbitrary censorship for swear words does not fix these issues.
The community feature can be turned off from the settings app, but again, that is accessible to children to turn back on. Do not let your preteens use this app.Show lessEiskiind
Developer Response
Thanks for spreading the good word! :)Best drawing app ever!!!
I’ve been using Sketch Club for 12 years! In those twelve years I’ve tried many, many other drawing apps. Some actually charge a lot of money. I keep coming back to sketch club. Sure there are issues that pop up once in awhile but what app doesn’t? The important thing is they get fixed!
What I don’t get is when I see things like, ‘ the ten best drawing apps!!’
Or ‘The top 3 drawing apps’ things like that, Sketch Club is never mentioned! And the ones that are mentioned are nowhere near Sketch Club..I really don’t understand that. I’ve tried most of them.
And, honestly, some of the reviews complain about things that don’t even make sense! Or can easily be figured out.
It’s just better than any other drawing app. I encourage anyone looking for a place to create art either seriously or for fun or whatever to try Sketch Club!!! You won’t be disappointed.Show lessCooper me

There are rewards you can give, and rewards you can share with others… There are artists of all skill levels and tons of fun to be had…Come join us!Show lessMarilee J
Having a new problem?
For some reason, I’m now unable to use Sketch Club on my iPad…still works on my phone. I don’t know what’s going on. It’s frozen, and I can’t click on anything. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Still loving it, almost 10 years later! The best money I've ever spent, bar none. I have been on Sketch Club for almost 5 years now, and my art has improved 10 fold ( I'm not art educated, and self trained). The other amazing artists on Sketch Club are just amazing, and I've learned so much from them over the years. Jim Scott, the creator of SC is always keeping it fresh, keeping it running smoothly, and I can't thank him enough. I have become good friends with so many people on D.C., and I wouldn't trade this app for all of the other apps I have combined. If you are a trained artist, a natural, or someone trying to improve your art skills like me, this is the app you want. Big thank you, Jim.Show lessCobybeach
great but some issues
ive been using sketchclub for seven years now and it definitely has its pros and cons on the terms of the making art side it does have a LOT of brushes and options but unfortunately it can get overwhelming and sometimes drawing on here can get difficult i prefer to use sketchclub for lil sketches i make for fun instead of full illustrations because the user interface is simple and easy to use but prefer other platforms like medibang for making full illustrations since it has better options for making finished art easier like clipping mask and locking layers on the topic of the community aspect while most of the community is rather nice and you get to see some gorgeous art and black pawn (the developer) is easy to get in contact with and talk to there is a severe lack of moderation and most of the time moderation has been taken into the hands of the children and teenagers of the community which can obviously be an issue also there is a bias issue within the moderation if you’re a bigger artist on here you can do no wrong which is upsetting most youll get is a slap on the wrist but no real punishment while if you’re smaller (and somehow actually get caught) youll be banned but these things happen rarely now n days so while the app has some issues i do think its good for beginners because of its simple ui and verity of brushes and the built in community of fellow artists who are rather nice and adore new artistsShow lessSkitty meow
Best drawing app there is.
Great app. It’s for all levels and there r such great people if ask someone will always help. I love it. Personally I think there drawing part is better then any app I’ve used close second is procreate but they don’t have a really cool Comunity of people who will help or even let u know when unable gotten better especially for those of us with no formal training. But like any social media app be aware of trolls because there are trolls on here and they’re mean and my advice is this is an app that you want to not make friends on just do your art and be happy that you’re learning something and stick around the people who teach you and help you stay away from the people who are just jerks.Show lessPrincess Sabi Doll
My preferred Art App
Sketch Club is my go-to art app! I’ve had it for so long, and it is one app that doesn’t ruin itself when it upgrades. It's also very user friendly, and I enjoy that we can view many of the “club members' art,” and even share our own! I have enjoyed other Art apps, but have at times had to delete because of changes the make in their upgrades. Thank you!Show lessChelaGlez
Still the best!
Still using this app! I found NO other simple app for art that will flip the design inside out to get perfect repeats! Anyway I started using this app when it first came out. I was having a hard time learning adobe and other art/photo apps. I instantly caught on to layers, brushes etc. being a older customer I can say this is a excellent buy, easy to use for professional results. I now create surface designs for fabric, wall paper, and wrapping paper. People are amazed that I do it all on this app! After showing others how to use it I have convinced many others to buy it! Lol. Update 2020. STILL my number one app for designing, and I love the way the creator is always there to help should any questions occurShow lessbrendasalzano
Amazing starter!
I recommend this app for anyone starting digital art. Its easy, user friendly interface has many art style options. You can add brushes or create your own! Its price is very much worth the creations you can design with this app. Ive created tons of stunning pieces, and hope whoever purchases this app has as much fun with it as i do!Show lessQueen Draco Dharriott
Love the app
I’ve been using this app for as long as I can remember and I adore every bit of it! Though I’m having issues with the canvas, every time I move either too fast or too slow the canvas moves itself into the center which is frustrating when I’m trying to draw a small detail so I’m hoping if either that can be fixed or if there’s a setting that involves the canvas itself.Show lessUsmccrazy
