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.

Right-clicking also lets ditch the current image for a new one or return to the main menu.I have tackled a couple of personal projects where the new features of SketchBook Pro came in handy. Enable them to create a perfectly mirrored image across the X- or Y-axis. The most enjoyable of which are the symmetry tools. The app also tucks a few important items away in a right-click menu.

The color button quickly toggles to gray scale colors, a color dropper, and other colorific functions. The lagoon’s tool button lets users switch between eight drawing tools, including pen, marker, paintbrush, and more. It sits unobtrusively in the lower corner of the screen and can be moved to the opposite side (for left-handed artists). The rest of the tools are found within the lagoon. The two palette colors the user is currently working with can be repositioned anywhere on screen with ease. Minor UI issues aside, Sketchbook Express should take no time at all for experienced digital artists to learn.Īutodesk has minimized screen clutter as much as possible, making it easy to focus on the sketch itself without the distraction of copious menus.
