I use Sketchbook every day and have done so for years. It is powerful and not promoted enough! even the free version has gotten me so far along in my artwork. I post to tiktok with my art almost daily and people like the results, then they are bewildered I made it with this studio because they haven't heard of it! I fell in love with this app in 2019 and haven't looked back because it isnt worth my time or wallet to transfer to another studio. Fantastic layers, brushes, and tools!

It has a lot of features! And there are a ton of tutorials out there to help you achieve the medium type uou're going after. But I'm looking for comic-book or manga type of programs. You could probably achieve this with the paid version (which is a modest price) but I found a better ap for my needs. Still 5 stars, though, because I'll still use this for one-shot art. May even still pay for the full version.

I can easily find erasers, and there's a wide variety of brush types. The wide variety of brush types makes it easy for me to create detailed art. My favorite brush for making clouds is the salty watercolor brush. Furthermore, I can have images pulled up for reference or tracing. This makes it much easier to do the art that I want to do in the image that I wanted. I really like this app and I suggest it for any beginner. Artists.
