Notice that the higher resolution image and zoom levels produce a more consistant result, whereas the small ones look completely different. Also, I tried exporting my image at different sizes and got the same results. Notice that the line gets fatter and more inexact as the image zooms in. Below is an example of photos of my screen taken at different zoom levels. So with resolution independent painting, what could possibly be wrong? The main problem with the app is that the quality and thickness of the line changes drastically based on what level of zoom you are in. I would just convert my images to vector in Inkscape or Illustrator. I read the reviews and saw that the only export options were image files and not SVG. I was psyched to think that Autodesk has made an app for the iPad that’s resolution independent vector painting.

With expansions and the ability to buy pro features you can build up as you guy buying what you need for a specific task.In the spring, I saw the video below unveiling the new Sketchbook Ink. Overall the application is great for anyone who is looking to getting started in drawing or the professional who needs a drawing application while on the go. With iCloud support you can take your drawings with you where ever you go and be able to export them to your camera roll to share out on Twitter, Facebook or anywhere you can upload a photo.

SketchBook Express lets you build up drawings in layers to help with overlapping areas and to change specific areas in a single layer without messing up the drawing that you worked so hard to produce. With SketchBook Store you can purchase brush packs and a selection of Pro features. There are 15 preset brushes, including pencils, pens, markers and Fill Tools to help you create your drawing. With my personal experience, the application is very powerful in relation to the free price tag, you can sketch out drawings quickly in multiple layers and share them out quickly from the application to share and show off.Īll of the brushes and tools available are high quality and used by the professionals themselves. The application is optimized for the new iPad retina display and has many high quality brushes and quick multitouch gestures to access all of the features that you need quickly. It’s a full featured and free sketchbook application that includes a lot of brush options to create a piece of art. For the aspiring artist, take a look at Autodesk SketchBook Express for iPad.
