I currently have Photoshop, Corel Painter, Manga Studio and GIMP (which is open-source), and have also used Photoshop Elements. Combined with a pressure sensitive laptop or monitor-it doesn't get any more natural feeling than this.Ĭustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) I've been doing digital art for six or seven years now and have used a handful of good programs. It's also just more fun to use!īottom line: When it comes to pure sketching-this software is my first choice.
However, with the new features in Sketchbook Pro 6 I believe I will be doing more work in this program. My usual workflow is to start out a sketch in Sketchbook Pro and then I bring it into Photoshop or Painter to finish. Layer Blending Modes (normal, multiply, screen, and add) Brush size can now be controlled with the right and left square bracket keys (the same keyboard shortcut as Photoshop).Ĥ. Makes selecting colors and incorporating slight variations so easy!ģ. Additional Brush Libraries! My current favorite is the new "Synthetic Round Brush 2." These brushes are similar to the natural brush feel of many of the brushes in Painter 12.Ģ. Check out the video to see these in action.ġ. Here are some of the great NEW features in Sketchbook Pro 6.
Having written that, each new version of Sketchbook Pro does add more and more available palettes and windows, but it is still very easy to keep most of the palettes closed and still have access to the various tools. This is really important if you are working on a small monitor or a pressure sensitive laptop with a small screen. The workspace is not filled up with menu bars and palettes. I also really like the simplicity of the interface. Download the free trial version and try it out first to see what I mean. If you have a pressure sensitive laptop or monitor (Wacom Cintiq) then the experience is very similar to using a pencil on paper. The pencil tool creates lines that are almost identical to the lines you would get with a regular pencil. Why? Because for me it provides the closest sensation to sketching with traditional pencil and paper. I do own Photoshop CS6 and Painter 12-but this is the software I prefer to sketch in.
