Sketchbook
Sketchbook is a drawing app for work ranging from quick sketches to finished artwork. It runs on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, with customizable pencils, markers, airbrushes, paint, smear brushes and other brush types. Drawing tools include rulers, French curves, Predictive Stroke, and vertical, horizontal and radial symmetry. Layers, blend modes, color fill, and linear and radial gradients support organizing and coloring work; stylus pressure and tilt are represented in strokes. Sketchbook imports and exports PSD files across its platforms, preserving layers, groups, names and most blend modes. PSD export rasterizes text layers, changes Sketchbook-specific Glow and Alpha Mask modes to Normal, and may change the background color to white. The free mobile app includes brushes, layers, guides, rulers and stroke tools. The mobile Premium Bundle adds advanced brush creation, color management, layer management and export options. The Pro direct license is $24.99 a year, billed per seat, with a 10-seat minimum for enterprise purchases; it covers Windows or macOS, not mobile.
