Timelapses… could be better…

I wish there was a better way to record a timelapse. the timelapses from IbisPaint are great, wish they were more like those. I also think coloring was better. Other than those, it’s a great drawing app!

Ok

Really good but annoyingly, you have to pay for some things like premium and premium brushes

LOVE THIS

Art is my fav thing and I like how you can see your artwork and it’s just sooo cool

Ideaaa…?

So I absolutely LOVE this app!! It’s so good buttt…I have a few friends who do digital art as well and I would absolutely love if we could post our art or collab!! Please take this idea into thinking I think it would be awesome this app is already great but I’d love it even more if I could collab with friends and post my art <3

wtf

deleted multiple sketches i had been working on after i pressed save

Apple Pencil

Fun app, but hard to enjoy with no Apple Pencil. If you want to make fanart, I suggest just using pen and paper. This app is ok, but more of a doodle place than a fanart sketchpad.

Amazing!

This app is just absolutely amazing! I really recommend it!

I agree with rose and rosa

JUST ADD ANIMATION DUDE. I know its not simple to just add animation suddenly but plz try. Im trying to enhance in my animation but some apps are too hard so try to add an animation feature. Thank you for reading if you have. 😀

Amazing! But…

This app is amazing and is very intuitive. I use it all the time for drawing characters. The variety of brushes is very useful after a bit of experimenting. The massive amounts of usable layers is great too. I have a few issues with it though. I think the oval tool needs to have an option to be a normal circle, I think the symmetry tool needs an easier way to recenter it(since I haven’t seen a button for it), and the timelapse feature didn’t download the video when I told it to. I very rarely write reviews and I think these features are important to fix. Other than that, it’s a great app and I highly recommend it. I’ve tested multiple IOS drawing apps and this is the best free one I’ve come across so far. Thanks for all the work you do, Developers!

Great UI, very easy to learn, wide variety of brushes, inexspensive

The app is very easy to learn for beginners and has great tools even without premium. I’ve been using Sketchbook for about 4 years and the only complaint I have is with the premium version, because when you use lasso tool it sometimes crashes the app if you swipe to change your settings. Another complaint I’ve heard is that the undo takes a second if you double tap but I never really had to worry about that since I just clicked the button.

Definitely recommend the premium for more experienced artists :)

Question before downloading

Does this app have animation, and if yes can you import audio and videos.

TOO DAMN BRIGHT

i get blinded every time i open this app. please for the love of god ADD A DARK MODE.

Great App, But Needs Better Project Organization

I really enjoy using Sketchbook, but I think the app needs an update, especially when it comes to organizing albums and projects. I have a lot of projects, and sometimes it’s really difficult to find the specific one I’m looking for.

I think it would be great to have a search bar so users can simply type in a project’s name and find it quickly instead of scrolling through everything.

Another useful feature would be the ability to merge or organize projects into folders or collections, similar to how Pinterest lets users organize their pins into boards. This would make it much easier to keep everything organized and find projects without wasting time.

Overall, I love using Sketchbook, and I think these features would make the app even better!

Not bad, but needs more

No SVG support for design and export? I enjoy using this app, and it’s got a nice interface, but this lack of ability to scale my designs is a dealbreaker for my needs. Also, I would love to have snapping options to close objects correctly. This would be helpful all around, but especially in perspective mode where I struggle to connect lines or even draw short ones in the “distance”.

One con

Just add animation system and frame by frame! THEN IT WOULD PERFECT!!

A very good drawing app

I really like this app and it’s very easy to trace from photos. No ads. There is a premium but you can still use the app really well without it.

Uhh

I do not understand bro the app does not have clean lines 😬

Storm

It is a solid app but what I would like to complain is the layers when you try to save a layer you have to hold it down also it is really annoying when you got to scroll and see different art supplies you can get if you subscribe but solid

Good

So i downloaded it and it has NO adds and its free forever unless u want to buy the premium bundle but u dont have too its still fun too use without the bundle because it has Alot of brushes LIKE ALOT and u can upload ur image and its kinda hard to use but itl get easier every time u use it but im not an artist so its kinda hard for me to draw so i don’t enjoy it that much but otherwise its a great app and artists should try it
