Android APP REVIEW: Sketcher Pro

Sketcher Pro


Don't let the conservative logo fool you: this is one odd sketching duck. Based on the free Harmony online tool, this is an example of how using a computer can be used to invent completely new artistic tools that would be almost impossible and at least heinously time-consuming using traditional media. Some modes create spines that link to lines previous drawn, and others are just fun to play with. That's the beauty of this product: you never really know what will come out of it. For sci fi artists, or people wishing to explore abstraction, just scribbling can reveal fascinating and inspiring forms.

The drawing is extremely responsive but I would like to see more precise control somehow (perhaps with pressure or a few screen toggles), some additional tools, and the ability to make very large brushes.

Just started moving the pen and this came out...
it's a great tool for just futzing.
