Pick of the week: Autodesk SketchBook Mobile

Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile
A recent tweet by @drwave from Pixar prompted me to check out SketchBook Mobile from Autodesk, and boy am I glad I did!

I have always wanted to get better at drawing, but I have never set aside the time it takes to master this creative skill. As with all creative disciplines the winning formula for getting better is 10% talent and 90% effort 1 and with this little app I always have my drawing tools with me, so I can doodle away anytime 2 I’m in the mood for it.

SketchBook Mobile is loaded with features, and still manages to have a very non intrusive user interface, it just stays out of your way so you can concentrate on sketching. SketchBook Mobile makes really good use of Apples Multi-touch technology both for drawing and for zooming and panning around your sketch - Oh, and it has undo too! 3

SketchBook Mobile is available in the App Store for just $2.99


  1. Anyone who tells you different should go listen to a couple of talks from Merlin Mann: Toward Patterns for Creativity and Doing Creative Work - Seriously, go! now! - And then go make stuff! ↩︎

  2. This is the effort part, the more you do it the better you get. ↩︎

  3. A much needed feature that my analog drawing tools is sadly missing. ↩︎
