SketchBook

SketchBook is one of the best drawing apps for Android, as it has everything you need to express your creativity by sketching on your smartphone's screen.

Excellent app to unleash your drawing creativity

With over a hundred million downloads, SketchBook is the drawing app for Android that lets anyone draw anything imaginable. It is very easy and intuitive to use, so the only limits when drawing are those of your own creativity.

Designed to unleash creativity

The first thing that strikes us about this app is its design, which stands out for its transparency: no distractions for us while drawing. We simply have a toolbar at the top that we can hide at any time and that gives access to the different drawing tools that we will use: brushes, pens, color palettes, different stroke settings...

It's designed so that we can draw anything we can think of, and it also has the advantage of being able to customize the various functions. In this way we can customize the canvas and the entire workspace to our liking, leaving nothing between us and our sketches.

Sketchbook's tools and strengths

Compared to other apps in this category, especially those with a more professional profile (not that they don't have one themselves), their tools, while sparse, are more than enough to pull off authentic feats. The basic options are divided into:

• Visualization or hiding tools.
• Symmetry. styles.
• Import image.
• Text.Basic brushes (total ten pieces).
• color editing.
• View and create levels.
• Split.
• Enter the daily SketchThis contest.

There are even more tools that you can only unlock after purchasing the paid version. The great thing about this app and the fundamental difference between it and its competitors is how visual its tools are. The menus are perfectly explained thanks to the icons that belong to each function, making it extremely easy to navigate between the functions.
