The Sketchbook Pro keeps it simple by presenting you with a white paper like interface where you can draw freely without too many buttons cluttering up the screen. There are a variety of tools available - brushes and pens etc. that help you create a simple sketch or a professional drawing. The software is easy and simple to learn as the interface is intuitive and the tools are easy to understand. The layers are also very easy to manipulate, and one can create some pretty cool sketches with so much more flexibility than on paper.

With the right tablet it is sensitive to the pressure of your strokes and light pressure will produce a lighter line. I also love the mirroring tool which can speed up sketches, especially when you’re creating geometric drawings.

I also have the iPhone app from Autodesk (Sketchbook Mobile) that sold me on this software in the first place. The great thing is that I can start a drawing on the iPhone/iPod Touch (or iPad) and then copy it over, open it up in the software and work on it some more. There is also a free Sketchbook Express version available for you to try.

I bought this software for my kid, it is easy and intuitive enough to allow a child to create drawings. If you’re looking for a simple software that gives you many creative tools to create a perfect sketch this is a good one to pick.
