CreativePro Staff

Autodesk, Inc., announced that Autodesk SketchBook Mobile is available on the App Store. Autodesk SketchBook Mobile is a new professional-grade paint and drawing app that offers a full set of sketching tools in a streamlined and intuitive user interface designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch.
The SketchBook Mobile App uses the same engine as Autodesk SketchBook Pro painting and drawing software, delivering much of the same power and functionality as the desktop application. A combination of high-quality digital pencils, pens, markers and airbrushes, as well as an artist-friendly, gesture-based user interface, enables users to create everything from quick sketches to print-quality production artwork.
Key features in the SketchBook Mobile App include:
* Layers – Drawings can contain up to six layers.
* Brushes – The software comes with 25 preset brushes and completely customizable brush settings.
* Color selection – Customizable color swatches and a color wheel with RGB sliders provide a virtually unlimited palette.
“Sketchbook Mobile is more than a fun drawing and painting App, it’s a tool for serious illustrators and artists,” said Susan Murtaugh, graphic artist. “Everything I need is included at a price point that can’t be beat – advanced layers, photo import and a variety of customizable brushes, including pencil, paint, texture and airbrush. Most important, all the tools simulate pressure sensitivity, giving each variable width and transparency that takes mobile sketching to a new level.”
Content that is created in SketchBook Mobile can be saved as a picture and opened in SketchBook Pro. As a result, artists, designers and anyone who likes to sketch or create artwork can create a drawing at any time with SketchBook Mobile, and continue building on their idea in SketchBook Pro.
SketchBook Mobile App is available for $2.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
A limted free Autodesk SketchBook Mobile Express App is also available on the App Store. To learn more about the SketchBook Mobile App and the SketchBook Mobile Express App, or to download a copy, please visit www.autodesk.com/sketchbookmobile.
