    When I first saw this I thought it was cool, but now I see that your sketching with your fingers, it is more a fingerpaint app not a sketch app :S
    Do you ever see someone sketching on a sketchpad with his fingers?
  • Josh M · 3 months ago
    yes, most things on a touchscreen are like fingerpainting. That's kind of the novelty of the phone and the app, ya know. It's definitely not the most exact process, but it's hella fun.

    Geez, watching that video... crazy skills. Don't think I'll ever be that talented...

    It took some practice but I've been able to make some useful sketches, very convenient tool!

    Thanks for posting this. I wondered which of the paint apps would have the largest canvas, so Sketchbook Mobile gets my money :-)
  • Josh M · 2 months ago
    yep, if resolution is the question, then Sketchbook Mobil by far. Pretty much the big thing lacking with SB Mobile are layer options. Once those are added, it's hands down the best.

    I tried to put it in my old i-phone and it said that it was incompatible. Anyon ecol dadivse me if there is a way of download it in a normal 8G i-phone?
  • Josh M · 2 months ago
    I think you need the iphone 3GS. not for sure, but that's what I'm using. you may want to check that you're on the latest itunes/iphone update.

    Thanks, Josh,
    Not only for responding, but for reading an ilegible comment! I guest that I was CUI when I did it. CUI: Commenting under the influence...
    So if I want to use this program, I have to change my I-phone...
    Thanks again.

    yep, most likely. the new 1.1 version came out. Looks like they are actively developing this. It's a nice app, but if I had to spend money somewhere it would be on Sketchbook Pro and a Cintiq Tablet!

    What about Inspire from KiwiPixel? http://kiwipixel.com/Inspire/index.html

    Anyone try this with a iPhone compatible pen (stylus)? BTW...It loaded and works fine on my 1st gen iPhone.
  • Josh M · 1 month ago
    I haven't tried it. To be honest, I had no idea a stylus was available. Beats tearing off a finger to use as a stylus. I must check it out.

    SketchBook Mobile does have layer transparency. If you select layers from the marking menu, once in the layer stack, select a layer and you will see a slider for changing the transparency of the layer. Is this what you were looking for?
  • Josh M · 1 month ago
    Yep Rae, it does in the new version. When I did this reveiw, it did not have it. Really glad they did add it. I link to the 1.1 update review up above. Thanks! Makes you wonder what's next huh.

    Sketchbook also have layer delete. If you select layers from the marking menu, once in the layer stack, if there is more than one layer, the standard iPod delete icon appears for deleting a layer. Also, the last update added a pseudo landscape mode in the prefs - this changes the import of am image to landscape for left-handed users. (? > Prefs> Import Landscape (Left). These were probably added after your article.

    I am sure that those sketching incredible detailed sketches are using a stylus for iPhone?

    a stylus or they have very pointy fingers. It's hard to think they're not, but I have it on good word some actually do use their fingers. The zoom helps, but get's really pixely up close. I've zoomed in to get some really fine detail on trees, but there was a bit of undo-ing to get it just right.
