Autodesk SketchBook, also called SketchBook, is a popular software for making drawings, illustrations and concept sketches. It was first developed by Alias Systems Corporation, which has now been acquired by, but is now owned by Autodesk.
Sketchbook is a pixel graphics software that features a radial pie-menu user interface which is very versatile and easy to use.
Some of the features that are offered by SketchBook make it ideal for us even on mobiles and tablets. For example, it uses the pressure-sensitive features of iPhone and other touch-devices like tablets and smartphones.
It lets you use these features to create effects as can be done by brush or pencil. SketchBook also has drawing tools like pencils and other drawing materials, as well as painting tools like several types of paintbrushes.
The brushes can be customized and texture brushes can be created for adding effects.
Some other features include a screenshot tool for making annotation or notes during a meeting.
The software also provides previous or next buttons, which can be used while creating flipbooks and animations.
In addition, it has the essential features like rulers, symmetry, rotation of the canvas and many more.
There are several versions of SketchBook such as SketchBook Express, which is a light consumer version of the SketchBook Pro, and does not include some features such as custom brush textures or symmetric brushes, layer controls and guide lines.
Sketchbook versions 5.5 and later incorporated layer manipulations which was not available in earlier versions.
In 2009-10 SketchBook Mobile was released for Apple’s iPhone and iPad; and later Android versions mobile phones was also released. There are feature-rich versions of the Pro, Mobile and Mobile Express.
