The unlimited number of undo commands is a useful feature which allows you to return, stroke by stroke, right to the beginning of your project, if you so desire. The interface is designed in a way that maximises the creative area and the layout ensures that no buttons get in the way and accidently pressed. There are various sizes of canvas to begin working on and each piece of art you create can be autosaved so you never lose a masterpiece.

The pencils, as well as the brushes, feel real too, the textures, flow of ink, and smooth mechanics all add to the convincing style of this app. There are in excess of 140 different brushes, each feeling authentic when letting your artistic side flow. The Flipbook Timeline makes it super easy to add/remove frames, duplicate frames which creates ghost layers, and set playback controls.The natural feeling of drawing with Autodesk SketchBook is its most powerful feature. The other big feature I want to call out is Flipbook– you can now create simple animations right in SketchBook. Now I can take my sketches of my dream home to a whole new level. The team at Autodesk did a fantastic job in working with Concept Designer Scott Robertson and developed a tool that makes drawing in 1-point, 2-point, 3-point, and even fisheye perspective super easy. By far my favorite feature of SketchBook Pro for sketching is the new Perspective Tool. SketchBook runs great on the latest Surface Pro and having a fully pressure sensitive drawing/sketching experience out of the box is awesome. First off, the 12” display on Surface Pro 3 is perfect for creative pursuits on the go. SketchBook Pro running on my Surface Pro 3 has allowed me to go digital. In the past I have used a 9×12 sketch pad and pencil. When I have downtime and want to doodle it typically will involve planning floor plans, landscaping, building structures, and more. It sounds silly, but I have been working on my “dream home” for years. I have tackled a couple of personal projects where the new features of SketchBook Pro came in handy.
