Sounds perfect for me: I'm not a hard core gamer, I'm neither a hard core artist nor youtuber. I'm just a hardcore student with hobbies that the surface pro just makes more accessible.
Thank you. I struggled to find a suitable drawing app for my Surface, and me. I'd download, then delete them. Now, I think I've found it, and honestly your summary has quickly helped me understand more of its capabilities. I really appreciate this. It's not a slow, long drawn out "how to use this" type presentation and I appreciate it. You're knowledge shows through.
Ah, Sketchable. I love this app. Sometimes, you just want to have a lightweight drawing program that loads quickly, and the default stroke is perfect. Just ready to go.
Due to this review I bought Sketchable and it brought back my love of the open and go function of the ipad apps. Even with clip studio EX it feels like work just so true. Thanks!
I’m totally new to digital drawing and I am getting a surface pro 6 for Christmas. I started getting worried that I should’ve chose the iPad because my friends use that for art. The main reason I picked the surface was because I don’t have a computer and I need something that can be used for art and as a complete functioning computer. But this review made me feel so much better about my decision, thanks Brad!!
its good then? I've never really like the UI in sketchbook pro for some reason, and paying for a subscription they won't get a penny off me ever. I'm cool with funding / paying for software, but subscriptions are a greedy insult. Most extra content is usually user generated anyway... but this Sketchable is decent? Will try :)
DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!! £25 upgrade enables layers and the ability to draw straight lines... oh and there's not even a selection tool or lasso............ wtf??? MS Paint better.
Thanks for posting your personal experience with Sketchable, I recently started this application with a new Surface, my personal frustration/experience is that I was very used to the classical Paint program that was available in your Windows OS. Like you pointed out, this App. has great potential, But I believe that an open community of users is needed, some place were you can find help for simple tasks that are not found in the recent Manual PDFs.
This looks great! My wife and I have been watching your videos for your hardware reviews like the one you did on the iSKN Slate, and surface pro 4. I got her a Surface pro 4 this year, and your review(s) have really helped us decide on what to get. AND, it has been really nice to have discovered your comics through watching your reviews : so a big thank you from both of us.
Dude, after I watch your video now I made my mind to buy the premium version. Thanks for answering all my questions about the premium one on one video. Cheers!
Thanks so much. I just ordered a pen for the surface I received as a gift. I have always been a paper and charcoal purest and was intimidated by trying to go digital. This has at least given me a program and place to start that doesn't seem like it will be completely foreign.
Thanks so much for this review!! Tried a few different apps on my surface pro. You are exactly right about Sketchable! It is just so enjoyable to jump in and everything is intuitive. The little things make for a really enjoyable experience! 👍👍
Have you ever heard of the drawing app on the 3ds called 3d colors? That app was where I came to love drawing digitally, they made great use of the buttons, you could hit the Lbotton and it'd undo, and with a flick of the joy stick I'm moved in and out on the picture. Since then it has been a battle to find a good drawing app, they're all so complicated and cumbersome. I haven't played with sketchable enough to know if it's the one but I do really enjoy it. It's SIMPLE! Simple brushes that get the job done, and oh my graceshus it has the triangle color wheel, or as you put it the ninja throwing star haha! I swear none of the other drawing apps have had it, and I love it so much!!! The biggest con though to this app is how it's difficult to change the canvas size, that might be a deal breaker, but I don't know yet.
Yeah he’s right this app is great. I picked up the full version I haven’t put my surface down yet. I’m glad they came up with this app MH doing specific things in your artwork a lot easier
I was the Alarian that posted on their website (I saw my post in your video, does that make me famous? :-) that asked the question about "Premium Features". In his reply, he indicated there was a huge update coming to Sketchable in the near future. We can keep our fingers crossed for some good new additions.
I was going to rant about how Sketchable makes my SP4 fans spin on full speed from doing nothing and that I prefer Sketchbook but then I realized that Sketchable has had a big overhaul since I last used it. Both apps seem to be in a great place right now. I think UWP Sketchbook has a nicer UI and is worth the subscription, especially with new features bringing it closer to parity with the desktop version, but right now I'm thinking I might give Sketchable another chance, so thanks for the review. I noticed they seem to have removed the ability to assign a tool to finger painting. That's a shame, I thought blending colors with my finger was brilliant and something every painting app should be able to do! It was one of my favorite features.
Hey Brad, have you tried Leonardo painting and drawing app on windows? Would love to hear your thoughts on it. You can find it by searing "Leonardo painting app" in google.
Hello Brad, thanks for your video! I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible to upload image to one of the layers so we could then draw on it? 2. Is it easy to fill marked area with one color or do you need to do it manually? Thanks a million!
Could you do a sort of "tips & tricks" video for Sketchable ? Or maybe a workflow video (sketch / ink / color / layers, brushes). For example i wish there was a HUE/saturation adjustment like in photoshop to change the color on a layer, but i dont know if Sketchable can do it. Also my hand keeps bringing Windows notification panels to show up, that's boring.
Got a question for you I got sketchable and I don't have a touch screen computer or drawing tablet how would I zoom in and out ? The tablet I have is the Wacom one.
Would you consider doing a paid How to Class in Sketchable? I have had it for a year now, first on my Surface Pro 4 and now on my new Surface Pro, but I can't use it? I know it makes me sound very dim, I am normally good with technology. However I am not an artist but just want to improve my drawing ability, I thought being able to draw on my computer/tablet would help me to draw more. I just don't understand what all the tools do, how or why to use layers, etc. I have tried to work it all out but I am just confused by it. I do try to draw in it, but I get frustrated as when I try to use some of the tools it tends to go horribly wrong and I give up. I just basically need a digital art class for absolute beginners! I have looked on the website but it doesn't really explain it for people who have never used digital art software before.
Sketchable looks really nice I can't wait to fully check it out, I've been looking for a better program to use and hopefully Sketchable is the one. plus it remindeds me a lot of Animation Desk witch I use to make my first Animation so ya.
After seeing your reviews on CGA programs, I was excited to download a few of them! I went with Sketchable and was so happy with it, I purchased the whole thing. I know you probably have gotten this a lot: but how can I use a "Dodge" and "Burn" tool in Sketchable? I'm still tinkering with the whole thing, during this deployment, but I LOVE using those features. I'm a by-hand artist, so this whole computer art-thing is new territory for me. Could you please help an aspiring artist out?
Hi brad I heard a couple of rumors that Wacom and Microsoft are making a stylus together that has 8192 pressure levels, tilt and barrel role capabilities. This should be coming in the surface pro 5. Also these rumors have a ton of evidence so this could be a reality. Your my favorite TH-camr and I hope this gives you a reason to get a surface pro 5
They are definitely working together on a universal stylus technology. Not sure if the pressure and capabilities will be a standard, but the tech around it will be.
I have used ProCreate on myiPad for years and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it..... But I am now considering the MS Surface line of products and wondered how Sketchable would compare to ProCreate which (sadly) is only available on Apple. I visited the MS store today and demo'd the new (GORGEOUS!) Studio 2, the Surface Pro 6 (very cool) and the "Powerhouse" Surface Book 2 (very powerful for video editing). But what software would I run on these to compensate for their lack of ProCreate? I realize that a full-blown Photoshop or Adobe drawing suite would run, but what I love about Procreate is that it is designed FOR a tablet only and is very intuitive to learn and use! Sketchable seems close, but I could not find the blur tool for example... Or layers.... Do these exist in Sketchable?
Is there an app I can use that can teach me how to sketch? Or is there a way to import a picture in a lighter mode to try and sketch that? I'm not an artist but think trying it would be so fun.
Excellent review! I know this video is a little old, but I would assume that Photoshop is a little choppy for you because your surface pro 4 lacks a dedicated GPU.
Hi, I'm just an amateur, so excuse me if i do stupid question! I'm really going crazy because I'm trying to cange the canvas' texture. I see that there are some options ad it seems that it's possible to cange the texture, but I can't succeed. How it comes? Please, help!
Forgive me if you've answered this before, but have you tried the newer Windows 10 version of Sketchbook Pro? It has a lot more ability to adjust the brushes. And it works sooooo well on the SP3. Mine is only an i3 and it runs well.
i bought and downloaded the premium sketchable app for my surface. I also want to use it on my laptop. Do I have to pay again for another premium app or is there a way to connect the premium on my laptop without paying again?
I use to use this but I moved on to krita because I feel like krita fits with the surface because it’s an animation/art program and the surface is a tablet/computer
I really need to try out Sketchbook, I've fiddled with it on the iPad and wasn't impressed but at some point I need to do a full review of the Desktop version.
Brad Colbow I am currently using the Windows 10 (Store) app on my Surface Pro as the desktop version doesn't seem to allow full screen mode. Sadly, it is lacking some advanced features the desktop version had so it's a bit of a mixed bag. Still, I love sketching in it!
I'm saving up for a dedicated drawing tablet. I'm leaning towards iPad, but I wanted to know, which do you use most often? I keep on hearing about the surface pro being great for artists, but I already have a macbook pro with an old wacom intuos2.
So this video is 2 1/2 years old...do you still use sketchable? And if so, has a lot changed? What about tapering with the brush? Would love to see an update review on this app. I am currently using the 3rd generation iPad Pro and I have been considering getting the Surface Pro 6 and in the near future the Surface Studio 2. I like the idea of still having something portable, like a tablet, BUT having the full on computer so I could use the full desktop version of apps, like Affinity Designer and Photo..I do a lot of graphic design, plus some digital illustration and caricatures (going full time with that this summer) so I have been seriously considering going to a full pc, but without giving up the portability of a tablet....surface pro 6 and sketchable looks good..update????
You and I need to sit down together so you can teach me and get me familiarised with this...i just got the surface pro4, and am kind of struggling to draw cause i draw on paper (lol i suck on digital drawings for now)
hey brad, i hope you are well, i saw a skectable tutorial where the guy uses a circle mask to create a perfect circle on sketchable but its not working the same on my app... it just gives me a mask to draw over and my lines arent as crisp as i want them... on the other hand using the line tool it works fine like i wanted... similarly the guy used triangle stencils where he could draw along the line easily while mine still behaves like a cutout i have to draw over... i bought the premium app and am running it on a surface book i5... last years
hey, im having an issue with the fill bucket - no matter how much i close the lines, the fill bucket will fill the entire drawing, rather than just the shape i am trying to fill. it used to work but stopped working. i have heard of others having this issue as well. any fixes? i have contacted sketchable but no reply. thanks
I have a surface pro 3 using a surface pro 4 pen and i'm thinking of an ipad pro, I'm just starting out as a hobby and draw, what one do you use mainly and do you think the ipad pro is worth the difference for drawing?
so i have a question if i were to pay for premium would it charge me like every month or would it be a one time payment for like a year or something?? also thanks for making this video i'm getting a touchscreen laptop soon and i wanted to make sure i could find a good drawing app and you helped to accomplish that so thank you :D
Got the program and was excited to get started with it and also purchased a stylus from Lenova that was recommended for my 2 in 1 touch screen laptop. Unfortunately, I cant get it to work with the program. It's like I have not been able to sync the pen with the program and I cant find any documentation on it, It's an active pen and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Personally I find Sketchbook Pro for Windows 10 (from the windows store, not the desktop version) to be the best created for a Windows touch device. A pity Autodesk switched for an annual subscription model, even if as low as 30 bucks.
Wait. Am I missing something? I bought the premium version after watching this, and there doesn't seem to be a lasso selection tool. I really rely on this tool in doing sketches (eg. selecting an arm so that I can scale it into better proportions)
I was really disappointed to realize Procreate was only for Ipad and I have the Surface Go, this looks similar so if I wanted something similar to procreate is this the one? I like procreate so much because of its simplicity, ease of use, and just performing beautifully. I've tried to use things like PS and Krita before, but they are just so complex and it's too overwhelming for me.
why does sketchable need to access to my whole system? i down loaded the program and then could not find a way to start a new file. i know that i am dumb there is no file open, new or save as that i can see.
Sounds perfect for me: I'm not a hard core gamer, I'm neither a hard core artist nor youtuber. I'm just a hardcore student with hobbies that the surface pro just makes more accessible.
Same
My favorite part of Sketchable is that you can export as a psd, modify some stuff in Photoshop, then import your changes as a new layer.
How to export it in Photoshop, can u help me ..I m beginner
You can do it in Autodesk Sketchbook, which is free, and in Adobe Fresco too.
Export as PSD @@mithundey3093

Yes we all want this
@David grey were serious
You have free Autodesk Sketchbook for Windows which is awesome.
3years later- its there ..
@@gorkemgulan what do you mean?
Ah, Sketchable. I love this app. Sometimes, you just want to have a lightweight drawing program that loads quickly, and the default stroke is perfect. Just ready to go.
I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of my Surface Pro 4 today and cannot wait to try this app! Thanks for the great review!

How you getting on with it I was in the same boat as u iv still trying to work out how to use it all this time later.😂
This looks really interesting! Gonna have to give it a shot on my SP3.
never thought id find you here tom

Thanks so much for this review!! Tried a few different apps on my surface pro. You are exactly right about Sketchable!

Just so you know the tapering issue of the sp4 have finally been fix about 3 month ago ^^
I'm sold! Thanks for the review and suggestion :)

Great review. I use it every days and it's the best drawing app for Windows tablets. Thank you for your video :)
Getting the different tips helps with the pressure.
Your ring lights give the coolest catch lights in your eyes.
loving your channel so far :]
Yeah he’s right this app is great. I picked up the full version I haven’t put my surface down yet. I’m glad they came up with this app MH doing specific things in your artwork a lot easier

Yep, this makes you totally famous! And to answer your other question, yes I hope to review the Mobile Studio Pro
Thanks! I'll be sure to purchase this app when my Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16 arrives =D
Can we do realism, or more a app for ''cartoon'' draws?

nice review it got me looking into sketchable now
I really like your videos, I'm glad I found you! keep uploading these awesome videos!
Really inspiring. I'm going to get Surface pen right now!
Your videos are crazy helpful!
Awesome video. To the point and concise
Nice choice of music 👍🏻that's a personal favourite DM song.
4 years later... and im still watching your old videos😂
Thank you for making this video now I will go get Sketchable for myself
Hey Brad, have you tried Leonardo painting and drawing app on windows? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
You can find it by searing "Leonardo painting app" in google.
This was my question too. I've been using Leonardo and I really like it. It's also made for a tablet. Sounds very similar to Sketchable.
3:30 brush pressure sensitivity can be changed under settings.
Hello Brad, thanks for your video! I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to upload image to one of the layers so we could then draw on it?
2. Is it easy to fill marked area with one color or do you need to do it manually?
Thanks a million!
Purchased the app for my Asus Transformer Mini (a surface pro copy). It cost £25 (Stirling). A bit more than $12. Thanks for the review.
Thank you, this is a helpful review.
Brad. PLEASE can you tell me how I'd go about importing an image into a layer for tracing??
your videos are incredibly helpful, thank you.
Could you do a sort of "tips & tricks" video for Sketchable ? Or maybe a workflow video (sketch / ink / color / layers, brushes).
For example i wish there was a HUE/saturation adjustment like in photoshop to change the color on a layer, but i dont know if Sketchable can do it.
Also my hand keeps bringing Windows notification panels to show up, that's boring.
The tool bar on the left side suddenly went to the right, I have no idea how to change it back, do you know how?
Do you have to pay for the extra features monthly or is it a one time payment?
Okay I’m sold 👌 do you have affiliate link?
Got a question for you
I got sketchable and I don't have a touch screen computer or drawing tablet how would I zoom in and out ?
The tablet I have is the Wacom one.
Would you consider doing a paid How to Class in Sketchable? I have had it for a year now, first on my Surface Pro 4 and now on my new Surface Pro, but I can't use it? I know it makes me sound very dim, I am normally good with technology. However I am not an artist but just want to improve my drawing ability, I thought being able to draw on my computer/tablet would help me to draw more.

can you choose canvas color in sketchable? Seems like everyone uses white in reviews, but i often like to use dark or midtone paper
Hi brad I heard a couple of rumors that Wacom and Microsoft are making a stylus together that has 8192 pressure levels, tilt and barrel role capabilities. This should be coming in the surface pro 5. Also these rumors have a ton of evidence so this could be a reality. Your my favorite TH-camr and I hope this gives you a reason to get a surface pro 5
Whoops I meant 8,196 pressure levels not 8,192 levels
These are just rumors so don't go preordering yet
They are definitely working together on a universal stylus technology. Not sure if the pressure and capabilities will be a standard, but the tech around it will be.

i love Sketchable but am not able to find any colour space information. do you know what the default profile is, or how to select one?
Hey brad, I was wondering if you would mind making a review on fresh paint, or of you have any experience and wouldn't mind talking about it
If I wanted to draw a perfect circle, is there a tool to do that in sketchable?
Can animation be used? Like different animation software.
Excellent review! I know this video is a little old, but I would assume that Photoshop is a little choppy for you because your surface pro 4 lacks a dedicated GPU.
What's the difference between the pro version and the free version
Would u say this is the best app for an artist hand drawing pod designs ?
I use sketchable a lot but am mystified as to how to use the paper texture feature, help!
Hi, I'm just an amateur, so excuse me if i do stupid question! I'm really going crazy because I'm trying to cange the canvas' texture. I see that there are some options ad it seems that it's possible to cange the texture, but I can't succeed. How it comes? Please, help!

woop, got it, sorry and keep up thengood work
Do you know if Sketchable supports the tilt function? So far I haven't got it to work on any app besides OneNote. So frustrating!
I love your work, Was wondering if you do any drawing traditionally
not to much, a lot of sketching in my sketchbook, but I don't do much traditional work beyond that.
same here, never do finished pieces traditionally
hey, im having an issue with the fill bucket - no matter how much i close the lines, the fill bucket will fill the entire drawing, rather than just the shape i am trying to fill. it used to work but stopped working. i have heard of others having this issue as well. any fixes? i have contacted sketchable but no reply. thanks
Is this a one time purchase app or a subscription?
do you think this is still the best program?
Is there a way to make sure it doesn't recognize your hand when drawing but only the stylus?
I have a surface pro 3 using a surface pro 4 pen and i'm thinking of an ipad pro, I'm just starting out as a hobby and draw, what one do you use mainly and do you think the ipad pro is worth the difference for drawing?
I instantly downloaded Mischief and fell in love with that.
so i have a question if i were to pay for premium would it charge me like every month or would it be a one time payment for like a year or something?? also thanks for making this video i'm getting a touchscreen laptop soon and i wanted to make sure i could find a good drawing app and you helped to accomplish that so thank you :D
Got the program and was excited to get started with it and also purchased a stylus from Lenova that was recommended for my 2 in 1 touch screen laptop. Unfortunately, I cant get it to work with the program. It's like I have not been able to sync the pen with the program and I cant find any documentation on it, It's an active pen and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Personally I find Sketchbook Pro for Windows 10 (from the windows store, not the desktop version) to be the best created for a Windows touch device. A pity Autodesk switched for an annual subscription model, even if as low as 30 bucks.
Autodesk Sketchbook Pro is now free! It's one of my favorite drawing apps on Windows 10, and now it's literally freely available.

its not frei in Windows Store
Hi Brad! Are you still using this on win10? Is there anything that you feel might be a better option?
Wait. Am I missing something? I bought the premium version after watching this, and there doesn't seem to be a lasso selection tool. I really rely on this tool in doing sketches (eg. selecting an arm so that I can scale it into better proportions)
This clearly works well when it comes to sketching and drawing. How does it work with a painting style?
I think artrage is the best for painting. Check it out
Can you make a video of how to make your characters
How is it for importing into after effects for animation?
what pen are you using at 2:06 - you don't mention that on your website
That's the pen that comes with the Surface Pro.
Do you know if you can add photos to your paper in this app?
I was really disappointed to realize Procreate was only for Ipad and I have the Surface Go, this looks similar so if I wanted something similar to procreate is this the one? I like procreate so much because of its simplicity, ease of use, and just performing beautifully. I've tried to use things like PS and Krita before, but they are just so complex and it's too overwhelming for me.
why does sketchable need to access to my whole system?
i down loaded the program and then could not find a way to start a new file. i know that i am dumb there is no file open, new or save as that i can see.
I use Semitic drawing all the time in Sketchbook pro.
Is this program Any good to get in 2019
Antz Joseph yes
