Sketchbook Pro

Sketchbook Pro is a Mac drawing and painting app with configurable brushes, layers and precision guides.

Our take

Pick it for sketching and illustration with tools kept out of the way.

Brush customization, rulers and blend modes support both loose drafts and more finished work.

Keep in mind: It is mainly a drawing workflow, not a full photo or vector production suite; verify how layered PSD or TIFF exchanges preserve your particular document.
