Cross device connection: Use a second device as a remote palette, continue drawing on anther device or tool, and export.
Reference Mode: Add a reference picture alongside or underneath to help with your sketch. Advanced Inking features: Brush creation, joining strokes, vector boundary detection, line art clean up, and layers bring new capabilities to your drawing. Inspiration can come from anywhere and Sketch Pal allows artists to start a project on one device, then seamlessly continue working on it on another device. Built on top of the Windows Ink platform, Sketch Pal leverages the strengths of the Surface hardware: low pen latency, tilt support, and pressure sensitivity to empower artists to have more control over their canvas. Nowadays I prefer drawing in Concepts and then proceed to Photoshop for some final adjustments afterwards (if needed).Sketch Pal, a Microsoft Garage project combines the modern inking features artists have come to expect, such as layers and custom pens with innovative new features like coloring assist, stroke cleanup tools, and reference view. Photoshop is quite heavy for devices and isn't as smooth as using Concepts for instance. You kinda get a similar effect because you're drawing in really high resolution, but it's not a vector after all.īesides from these two you have the obvious players on the market like Photoshop.
Leonardo's biggest disadvantage is that you're not able to draw in vectors. It's worth the purchase and I've drawn a few pieces in Leonardo, examples being: & Leonardo is an ambitious attempt of creating a new player on the market and still in the beta with a lot of updates (I'd say an update with new features a month). You're also drawing in vectors here, which is amazing if you plan do create Icons or other work related stuff. For normal Sketching and up to 5 layers the demo is enough though. There's also a free version for trial but it obviously lacks a lot of features the full-version has. The only other app that matches that amazing responsive feel while writing is OneNote. Concepts has the best "feel" to it when drawing and there's literally no delay with input (pen) and therefor is very responsive.
