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.

I've been using Sketchbook since I was 12, I'm 20 now and recently started using it again on my phone instead of the touchscreen laptop I used to have, and I have fallen in love with it all over again. it has every tool I need to easily make high quality digital art. Layers are so easy, I love the perspective point guides, brushes, pens, texture and eraser options, customization for all drawing tools, options for the layers, especially locking and merging layers, time lapse, etc. It's perfect

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.
