It occasionally flickers now
Sigh 4
I'm a professional illustrator of over 3 decades and Sketchbook was my go to drawing app but now it is becoming unusable. I use a Mac and I have noticed the screen flickers when I try to draw, this doesn't happen in Photoshop or Clip Studio. It's so frustrating as it's a program I used to reccomend to other artists to use. It's such a shame how far this once great app has fallen. Can this glitch please be fixed asap as I don't want to give up on it.Simon T
A very good App

Having enjoyed using the iPad version I decided to buy the desktop app and to date I have been impressed. I understand that this is not the finished product but so far the software has performed very well. The various brushes work smoothly and can be adjusted quite easily. I have experienced no performance issues and no crashes. I have enjoyed using this package and look forward to future upgrades.

Thank you for the feedback! We're working on the next update now, with more features coming soon :)

This is by far my favourite for sketching and painting. I have used Corel Painter, Illustator, photoshop, procreate and many others but this remains my go to. I have not encountered any issues with functionality. I was disraught when I thought I could no longer obtain this software. I swapped to a Mac studio yesterday and I cannot even tell you how relieved I was to be able to download it from the app store.
Good app but a few problems

I use to have this when it was free and I mainly used it from 2018 to now and it use to work like a charm and I loved using it to do all of my art, I thought that this version would of included the brushes you could download and the copics colours and its upsetting to not have any of them to use for doing different art styles.
