Mac
Sketchbook & Paint Pad Studio turns your Mac into a serious digital art workstation. Built for illustrators, concept artists, animators, and designers, the interface stays out of your way so the canvas, and your work, stays the focus.
From a five-minute thumbnail sketch to a fully layered illustration ready for print, the toolset is built to keep up: responsive strokes, a real brush engine, and export quality that holds up at high resolution.
WHAT’S INSIDE (Pro)
BRUSHES THAT BEHAVE LIKE REAL MEDIA
Over 60 brushes built from the ground up: pencils, ink pens, airbrush, charcoal, stippling, cloud and starfield textures. Each is tuned to respond like its real-world counterpart, not a generic round tip.
REAL LAYER CONTROL
Stack as many layers as your piece needs, with opacity, visibility, locking, alpha lock, clipping masks, and grouping. It’s the same layer logic professional illustrators expect.
COLOR PICKING THAT DOESN’T FIGHT YOU
An HSV saturation-value field, a full hue ring, direct hex entry, saved swatches, and a live preview ring so you always know what you’re about to lay down.
BUILT-IN SYMMETRY
Mirror your strokes vertically, horizontally, or across a 4-point radial axis. It’s ideal for mandalas, symmetrical character faces, or architectural linework, without eyeballing the balance yourself.
GUIDES FOR TECHNICAL WORK
A ruler tool and ellipse guide overlay for the moments a steady hand alone won’t get you a clean line.
STROKES THAT STAY SMOOTH
A predictive stabilizer smooths out hand tremor and jitter in real time, so linework comes out clean on the first pass.
WORK FROM REFERENCE
Drop a PNG or JPEG straight into your layer stack to sketch over or color-match against.
NON-DESTRUCTIVE COLOR ADJUSTMENT
Per-layer HSL controls let you shift hue, saturation, or brightness after the fact, without touching the original strokes underneath.
EVERYTHING SAVED, EVERYTHING ORGANIZED
Projects save locally in .sketch format, with a built-in gallery to browse, reopen, and manage every piece you’ve made.
PRINT-READY EXPORT
Export flattened PNG artwork at up to 4096px for high-resolution printing or portfolio use.
No ads, not now, not ever. Core drawing tools are free from your first launch. Pro adds the full brush library, symmetry tools, and advanced color layers for artists who want the complete kit.
