Benefits and struggles of Sketchbook
Reviewed on 19/2/2022
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

I'm old enough to remember using the old glass bottle Magic Markers but since going digital, with the help of Sketchbook, Photoshop and CSP, I find I am more productive in terms of speed and quality of work.
Drawing in Sketchbook is incredibly intuitive and satisfying, I only wish I could open more than one file at a time.
Pros
I think the drawing brushes and pencils for linework are some, if not the best I have found in a drawing app.
I especially like the snap to curve, elipse and perspective rulers.
Cons
I am a storyboard artist which means I am usually drawing and colouring a number of frames at once, sometimes as many as 30-40 frames. I would love to be able to open up a number of frames so I can achieve uniformaty of line and colour across the frames. I also dearly miss the Copic colours you used to have.

Its a great tool to sketch when it comes to freehand drawings. Airbrush feature along with copic colors makes it perfect for art.
Pros
User friendly tool for sketching digitally, has great options from pencils, pen to airbrushes. Copic colors are available.
Cons
The user interface is a bit outdated. The lasso and selection tools can get better.
