Really amazing

I’m using this tool for the first time, and to be honest I’m quite surprised how hardware and software became affordable in hour times. I haven’t draw since I was child, and now I think I will get back to it. This app has a lot of free tools, so you can create - I think - really deep and professional drawings.

Cool, but LET ME SAVE

I genuinely like this app, I have every brush I need for free (but to be fair I’m not really picky) and I just enjoy drawing on this. But the most important issue is saving, I have lost SO much time just because either the canvas glitched and I needed to go back to the last auto save (which could be even 20min ago) meaning I lost quite a lot of work. And the glitch is really weird sometimes I just paint and everything turns black for a second and then all the layers are empty, or there are multiple glitches that destroy my layers and even clicking undo doesn’t really fix it (and I’m someone who doesn’t work with 100 layers so you know it’s annoying when the layer I was coloring in gets basically destroyed)- or the most heartbreaking issue “canvas couldn’t be saved” or some like that, when I’m done with a drawing and want to leave but it turns out I can’t save! And I have more than enough space on my iPad, so it’s really awful when I have to close the app and open it again just to see how much work I just lost (sometimes I can’t even open the canvas again, so now the whole artwork is gone!)

I really enjoy this app, but honestly I would use it only for sketches and things that I’m not scared to lose if something happens because drawing big projects can bring a lot of anxiety, because you never know if you wont lose it.

To keep this simple... poor version of sketchbook pro.

Seriously if you want to use this app you need to buy subscription in order to do something right. Pressure sensetivity is a joke. I tried to sketch with sketching brush and modified brush but in both scenarios the pressure was too low or too high. And yes I tried to tweak global pressure in app settings but you have only five switches instead curve to precisely define pressure. And the biggest nail. You can’t make your own brush from scratch. Default brushes have just few options. Only thing you can do is to import some from your files or get more from adobe services... one plus from this app is that you can draw with vector and pixel brushes in the same time. There are a lot of good free drawing/painting software in the appstore that can offer more than this app. If you want real like brushes (oil, watercolor...etc.) then better save some money for real and heavy app like corel painter that has 2.5D brushes. But if you don’t have any money sketchbook, medibang. For just 1 broken dollar you can buy procreate like app called Artbook Pro that serves me well, but you can only save as png or jpg.

To sum up everything I hope that adobe will change it’s way to people. Just make apps one time paid with full arsenal and that’s it people will be happy...
