### "A Hobby in my Pocket"

February 15, 2023

5.0

When I first tried using Sketchbook I thought it would be so hard but I ended having fun. Sketching during my free time is just relaxing and fun. I love that I can use the app in my phone too!

Pros

What I like most about this software is it brings out my creativity without limiting what I can do because of the brush types and editing features available.

Cons

It would be so cool if there were more funky fonts or calligraphy style fonts available. Right now there are plenty fonts to choose from but I’m hoping there would be more.

### "great creative tool"

July 13, 2022

4.0

An awesome tool for my presentation work. It is intuitive, very easy to use and allows you to explore more of your creative side that you cannot do with a regular sketchpad and pen.

Pros

Apart from it's wide selection of brushes and pens, Sketchbook allows the user to create architectural perspective views from it's built perspective grids and customizable vanishing points.

Cons

it would be nice if it allows scaling of objects and grids.

### "Muy fácil de usar"

January 7, 2022

5.0

Comienzo a realizar los bocetos de mis diseños y patrones en este software, debido a la comodidad y lo rápido que puedo crearlos, y luego los paso a otros softwares cuando realmente quiero algo más elaborado. Me siento contenta con este software.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta es que es muy fácil de usar, tiene una variedad de pinceles que permiten dibujar de forma intuitiva, tiene las herramientas básicas para hacer figuras y dibujar cómodamente. Se sincroniza rápidamente con cualquier tableta gráfica. Puedo exportar a diferentes formatos y la app es excelente.

Cons

Lo único que no me gusta de este software es que, al no crear vectores, no permite escalar la imagen ni sirven para imprimir.

### "Free and easy to learn "

December 8, 2022

5.0

I love using sketchbook for drawings and I especially like that you can import any photo or picture you have saved on your phone, change the transparency, so you can trace over it and make it your own with brushes.

Pros

I love that it's an app for your phone that's free and has lots of features included, everything you need to draw and lots of brushes- pencils, pens, spray paint, watercolors, acrylic, inks and crayons

Cons

I haven't found any cons, the app always opens up easily and it's quick to export your drawing. Maybe some other apps have additional features but I've only try sketchbook as it was the one that had the best reviews compared to others when I searched.

### "Benefits and struggles of Sketchbook"

February 19, 2022

3.0

Pros

Sketchbook has a great variety of brushes, allowing you to recreate your favorite traditional media or adopting a new technique and style. Sketchbook is ideal for those random drawing ideas you get while out of the house (remember the software doesnt reach its full potential unless it's paired with a pressure sensitive stylus)

Cons

While you can get anythin you may need for sketching and drawing, there are some functions that are limited in sketchbook that you can get in other drawing softwares regarding editing, heavy rendering and vectors

### "Architectural renderings"

July 13, 2022

5.0

Pros

our office, architectural firm, uses this program to generate hand drawn, sketchy feel of building renderings. The outcome is always beautiful, just like an artist's sketchbook.

Cons

It's not very easy to learn all the features at once. If you are a beginner, you have to get used to the functions and be able to maneuver in order to fully utilize the features this program offers.
