Today, we will highlight an awesome drawing app for Windows 11. This app also works for other Windows operating systems like Windows 7 or Windows 10. Sketchbook Pro is designed to offer a seamless experience across all versions of Windows, especially optimized for Windows 11 PCs and beyond. Windows 11 provides a fresh platform for creatives, picking up where Windows 7 left off. If you’re considering upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10, I say go for it. The app in discussion is Sketchbook Pro. Let’s dive into what makes this sketch app a must-have for artists, art teachers, and art students.
What Is Sketchbook Pro About?
Sketchbook Pro is the drawing app tailored for everyone who incorporates sketching into their daily routine. This includes creative professionals, aspiring artists, and anyone passionate about drawing. With SketchBook, the drawing and painting experience is designed to be as intuitive and natural as possible – mirroring the feel of pencil, pen, marker, and brush in a digital format. Starting with SketchBook feels as straightforward as grabbing a pencil and a piece of paper. Just pick your favorite Windows 11/10 device, launch a new canvas, and let your creativity take the lead.
SketchBook boasts a robust brush engine, offering over 140 preset brushes (along with endless custom brush possibilities) that deliver precisely what artists need. Ink flows smoothly, synthetic brushes naturally blend colors, and texture brushes emulate the feel of natural media.
With SketchBook, layer management feels intuitive, color palettes are easily created with HSL/RGB sliders or a color wheel, and your artwork can be exported as a flat image for online sharing or as a layered PSD for further processing. Designed with stylus and touch input in mind, SketchBook ensures an unobstructed creative process.
The interface of SketchBook is meticulously crafted to keep distractions at bay, allowing artists to remain focused in their creative zone. Features include unlimited layers, unlimited undo/redo, autosave, and support for canvas sizes up to 10,000 by 10,000 pixels.
SketchBook Pro Features:
- Custom Color Management: Users can create custom color palettes and sets of palettes, with any palette capable of holding up to 60 color swatches. There can be up to 12 palettes in a set, and a maximum of 50 color sets in the Color Library. Additionally, colors can be picked or extracted from reference images, and how colors are extracted to a new color palette can be defined.
- Updated Color Editor: Includes a color harmony bar (complementary, split complementary, analogous, triadic, or tetradic harmonies), a new gradient bar, HSV sliders, HEX value input, and the ability to visualize color harmony in the color wheel.
- Layer Masking with New Blend Modes: Features versatile masking using a layer’s alpha channel for transparency, allowing for the isolation of mask effects by grouping layers and applying ‘Normal’ blend mode to the group.
- Brush Library Updates: The ability to randomize brush sets changes brushes after each stroke, which is useful for creating realistic natural textures. Additional pre-loaded brush sets are also available.
- Tool Updates: The Text Editor now uses the Color Editor for color selection, and a new option in the Predictive Stroke sub-menu enables or disables snapping for straight lines that don’t snap to 0 / 45 / 90 angles.
- User Interface Updates: Includes higher contrast graphics for improved readability, updated icons, an Auto Hide UI feature with a customizable timer, and updated menu bar and layer menu options for a more streamlined experience.
- Preferences Updates: New options for creating backup files at each save, choosing file naming conventions, verifying TIF files after saving, and disabling anti-aliasing with Pixel preview
