Adobe Photoshop takes it to a new level and allows users to customize their brushes much like Photoshop Styles – to a surprising extent. But the best painting tool on the market has been Corel Painter with its huge set of brushes, their amazing set of properties, their interaction with Wacom plus other pens/stylii plus their ability to interact with the previous brush strokes and the underlying paper/media used. So why the comparison with Autodesk Sketchbook ?Īs one can see from the screenshot Sketchbook hardly has the brush and media prowess of Painter. the choice of brush type is not nearly the same as in Painter, the brush properties are even slimmer. Why would Autodesk even want to offer such a limited product? Well there are three potential answers to the question. First, Autodesk’s other CAD and 3D tools require more natural painted surfaces and 2D paint objects than ever before. Second, the price at $55US is compelling versus the $277 price for Corel Painter 12 on Amazon. Finally, Sketchbook has added UI features that make Sketchbook very quick and easy to use.įirst consider the drawing capabilities of Sketchbook. There are 11 primary brushes from pencil thru marker to airbrush. Sketchbook also has a mirror stroke feature in either the vertical and horizontal planes that are important in architectural and CAD drawings. One can customize and create clone brushes with ease and for reuse. And there is support for major stylus offerings from Wacom and others. there are ruler and compass/elipse tools for precision stroking. Next Sketchbook offers convenient colors with easy-access user-created color tabs made using either the color wheel or eyedropper. Sketchbook also has layers with blends and opacity control for between layer interactions. Sketchbook supports masks for precision painting or paint area adjustments. In sum, all the basic editing tools and touches that one assocaites with a good photo finishing tool now can be applied to your painted images. Of course, it is easy to setup a tracing paper layer and by setting a blank layer over the original to be traced as done in the screen shot. Just adjust the opacity of the draw layer to your preferred level. However, SketchBook does not have clone brushes like Painter that is able to transfer hues and luminance from the traced layer to the new drawing. But judious use of the eyedropper tool along with the applying the layer blends as we have done can be useful if limited proxies for Painter’s cloning capabilities. Sketchbook brings to the drawing palette the advantage of some very handy and useful UI innovations. Users almost never have to go to the pulldown menu system while sketching. Helping in that regard is the lower left corner of the screen shot, the quarter circle-bar which with a single stylus click enables undo/redo, color choice panel, brush change, brush property panel among others. ![]()
