The BEST FREE Drawing Software - Autodesk Sketchbook Pro (Ft. Alita Battle Angel and Venom)

Sketchbook is also available as a drawing and art app for you tablet or phone! Also this isn't sponsored, I just really love Sketchbook pro!

I have been using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro professionally for about five years now. I used to draw in Photoshop, but never really loved the layouts and found moving around my image to be a real chore.

Once I switched to sketchbook, I was instantly moving faster. The layout is gorgeous and slick and the whole thing is incredibly user friendly. I highly recommend any artist looking to do digital work try out sketchbook pro for their drawing and painting. And of course one of the best things about it is it is free! Hence me dubbing it the best free drawing software around!

Also in this episode to show a bit of a tutorial on how to use sketchbook pro and my workflow, I'm drawing the famous spider-man villain Venom from Marvel comics fighting Alita Battle angel, made famous from her manga comics, animated 90s movie and most recently the 2019 Robert Rodriguez film.

I hope you learn something and enjoy the lesson/video!

UPDATE ON SKETCHBOOK: It was just brought to my attention that Sketchbook has been acquired by another company and is no longer free on desktop. It's now $20 American or $27 Canadian. The tablet version is still currently free and it is still possible to find download links to the older free versions online such as 8.7.1 which is what I'm using currently.

Can you please do a tutorial on how to do the animation on the app

[indoraptor]

I've also been useing the app for 6 days and it's amazing

It’s so nice to see someone use a free app that is accessible to most people make great artworks, thank you for showing us this

I suck at drawing but I enjoy it as a hobby. I've been drawing since 1985 traditionally and I'm in my mid 40's and ever since I got my 6th gen. iPad in 2018 I have switched to only drawing digital. I'm going to check out Sketchbook on iPad as I like what I see of the app in your video. Thank you for your art channel on YT.

Thank you for making this video! I've been using sketchbook pro for over a year but always felt like maybe I was stunting my development by not using one of the "big guys" in the software world, like Procreate or PS. I've been trying to transition over to Krita or Sai but I just feel so comfy with Sketchbook. Before you I haven't heard any professionals talk about sketchbook, which made me uncertain. But this is all the validation I need, sketchbook works for me and my art has grown immensely since I started drawing digitally.

I use this for all my drawings which i do on my tablet

[zackanima]

I've been using this program for about two years and still didn't know how to use it as efficiently as you do, watching this video really helped me learn a few new techniques I can apply onto my on art style, You have no clue how thankful I am after realizing you were using Autodesk. Thank You PopCross Studios for helping improve my own art once again!

I REALLY LOVE THE ALWAYS SUNNY CLIPS! Subscribed

Just purchased my girlfriend her first drawing tablet (huion kamvas 22 pro)
Thanks for this review, makes me feel more confident when setting it up with a program for a beginner!

I’m a little late, but I love this app. And yes, I draw on my phone. It’s easy once you get use to it!

[starwantrix]

That's a great tutorial! I've been drawing in sketchbook for a year now, it's easy to use, what I like most about it - the design! Whenever I go to photoshop, cause pros draw in it, just to try, I get immediately terrified by all the stuff that's happening on the screen, and I'm getting confused, it's simply too hard for me. While in sketchbook I'm like flowing in the water, everything is simple and beautiful and very easy to learn and draw, absolutely love it!

I love your personality! I love this channel! I subbed! With notifications on!

Honestly more people should be talking about Autodesk and or using it. It's super great for people who are trying to get into digital art but still used to pencil and paper. I've been using it for like 3 years and I love it a lot just started using illustrator and Photoshop and it's been hard to learn the software's lol

[BriarDavisOfficial]

I love using auto desk sketchbook to, I’ve used it for every digital art I’ve made

[ikazuchioni]

Thank you for posting this! The Photoshop skills that I have learned are just average, that being said, I am a little bit hesitant with trying out other drawing software. But this one is not the least intimidating, it actually looks intuitive and very user friendly. I am excited to try this one out as I have just finished downloading it.

[bennypage]

I just downloaded it, it's so pretty to look at!!

[MirkwoodCrow]

Thank you so much for this video!! There are just too many artists who only praise procreate and photoshop, which a lot of people can't afford. I wanted something easy to use and free with my Samsung Galaxy Tab s6 lite I'm gonna get tomorrow.
Everyone criticized Autodesk and kinda made it look bad but because of you, I'm going to get it right away when my Tab S6 lite arrives :D Thank you! ❤️
