Sketchable

Having used several drawing apps from the Windows Store, I can say this is one of the best, if not THE best. I use Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai for most of my drawing, and the tools in Sketchable are very similar. I love having layers and mirroring features. I've seen a lot of people complain about spending $12 for an app, but compared to the cost of major art programs, this is a steal. If you can't afford the programs like Photoshop, Sai, or Painter, and you don't want to be a pirate, Sketchable is a good deal. Giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish I had more customization for the journal sizes. You choose from a list of default paper dimensions and there's no way to make your own. Aside from that, I love this app.

Many features are behind a paywall, including all brushes other than the paintbrush and eraser, the color picker, and layers. But, this is the only app I've found with stylus pressure and Layers. Currently, the tools are available individually, but Layers requires buying the full bundle for $11.99 Also, the only way I've found to save an image as a file is by sharing to email, which attaches a PNG. The lack of open/save limits usefulness to casual art

The developers of this app are on to something special. This highly capable sketching and painting app seems to have been built with Surface devices in mind, and it shows--drawing on my Surface Pro 3 is a buttery-smooth dream! This app is quality, so don't worry about shelling out $20 for it--you won't regret it. The interface is full of thoughtful features for artists, illustrators and designers, and the whole app is highly customizable. I'm giving the app 4 stars because I'm waiting on the ability to export sketches as short time-lapse videos (in the style of the Procreate app on the iPad Pro), a necessary social media feature for modern digital artists. If this feature arrives, this will be a 5 star app, and I'll probably never put my Surface down. Also, the Surface Dial integration is fantastic, you can tell that this app is going places

Love this app and bought it after an hour of use. Love the simplicity and responsiveness, especially on the Surface Pro. Minus one star for the lack of brush sizing in the free version. Users should be allowed to play around with brush sizing as it only enhances the initial enjoyment of the app. Looking forward to more updates.

I love Sketchable app, the best app to draw, sketch, color whatever you want, your imagination is the limit. One of the features that I like a lot is the fact that you can use layers that a plus. I have tried quite a few drawing apps this is by far the best drawing app in all tools, options, and ingenuity. With sketchable I believe you get a complete set of tools and options than other apps just don't have. thank you for such a great drawing experience!

I love how this app works. It feels natural and I love how fast I can zoom in and out and rotate my pictures. I also love how simplistic the tools are. I don't even own a surface pro so I manage to get away with palm rejection by using an ace bandage and this just turns my 23.8 inch touch screen desktop into a digital easel. I use an Adonit touch pro stylus or a Griffin stylus and it works awesome. It also works great with PhotoShop. I can export the pictures I draw into Photoshop and it will not only send it there as a PS file, but it will even keep the layers separate too, just as they were before exporting them from the app which means you can do further editing. True, it doesn't have all the features like Photoshop, however this is probably the most underrated app of this time. I would Highly recommend this app to any digital artist and even traditional artist as well. Don't take my word for it. Try it out for yourself!

I'm really impressed with Sketchable. It's so user-friendly and surpasses much of what I've experienced in other drawing apps. I draw for a living, and generally stick to paper, but this has really helped me to grasp drawing digitally, while producing high-quality work at the same time. Definitely worth it.
