For example, creating a colour gradient fill in Illustrator can be done with a pen, but in my experience it is better done using a mouse the control handles are too “jumpy” unless you zoom in. A graphics tablet gives you the best possible control over your sketching movements, but in SketchBook Designer’s case, also over the interface itself. SketchBook Designer is best used with a pen and graphics tablet like a Wacom Intuos. Another floating control lets you tweak your brush or pencil. A tab gives access to a special feature that I’ve not seen anywhere else: a 3D object that you can select a colour from - with the hue and luminance differing depending on the light angle and strength. Colour tools include a Copic colour library as well as the usual suspects. The colour editor is a round floating button which immediately transforms into a full blown colour picker tool when clicked. The toolbar is a floating thing that gives you direct access to all of the drawing and painting tools, selection tools, even colour fill and curve alteration tools. When you start the app, there are three layers by default: a vector layer, a paint layer (bitmap), and a canvas layer. SketchBook Designer (and Pro - but I’ll concentrate on Designer) 2013 has a full set of pencils and brushes to draw and paint with. Tested as part of Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate which also includes Maya, Mudbox, Composite and MatchMover 2013 on the Mac (appr. some limitations like smooth curves can’t have corner points.
