Over a hundred million downloads endorse SketchBook, the drawing app for Android that anyone can use to draw anything they can imagine. Its simplicity and intuitiveness make it very easy to use, so the only limits to be found when sketching will be the boundaries of your creativity.
Designed to unleash your creativity
The first thing that strikes us about this app is its design, characterized by its simplicity: zero distractions for us to draw. On the top, we find a toolbar (that we can hide whenever we want) that gives us access to the different drawing tools we will use: brushes, pencils, color palettes, and various stroke configurations...
It is designed to let us draw anything we can think of, with the added advantage of offering customizable functions. We can adapt the canvas and the entire workspace to our liking so that nothing stands between us and our sketches.
Sketchbook tools and powers
It is possible that, compared to other apps in its category, its tools feel rather scarce, especially if we compare it with more professional-oriented apps (although this app is not lacking in this department). Nevertheless, they are more than enough to perform authentic artistic feats. Its basic options are divided into:
Display or hide tools.
Symmetry.
Styles.
Import image.
Text.
Basic brushes (ten in total).
Color editing.
Layer creation and visualization.
Share.
Participate in the daily SketchThis contest.
There are more tools, but you unlock them by purchasing the paid version. The best thing about this app and the main difference from its competitors is the visual aspect of its tools. Its menus are perfectly explained thanks to the icons next to each function, making it extremely easy to navigate.
