Autodesk SketchBook

Autodesk SketchBook drawing app and painting software helps digital artists and illustrators design with professional-grade perspective tools and an intuitive user interface. Complete painting and drawing software!

Note: Autodesk SketchBook is now Sketchbook Pro.

The UWP version of Sketchbook previously distributed by Autodesk through the Microsoft Store could not be transferred due to technical dependencies on the store backend.

People who have this version can continue to use it, but it will not be updated. The new Sketchbook Pro release on the Microsoft Store is now available, however it is optimized for desktop use with a pen peripheral. It will run on a Windows tablet, but it is not currently optimized for a tablet experience.

Autodesk SketchBook sketching software for Windows computers is a fun and intuitive paint and drawing app, and can transform your computer into an ideal artist's toolkit. With tools designed for professional artists, illustrators, and designers, the easy-to-use interface can help unlock the artist in everyone. SketchBook 2023 by Autodesk is specifically designed to work with pen tablets, such as Wacom Bamboo, Intuos, and Cintiq products, or with Windows tablet devices to deliver an authentic drawing experience.



Features and Highlights

Draw without distraction
A truly elegant design knows when to get out of your way. The UI stays incognito until you’re ready to snag a pencil, pen, marker, or paintbrush. Lose yourself in creativity instead of losing yourself in the menus.

Feels like drawing
Go big with a drawing engine that can handle a 100 mpx canvas while maintaining the zoomed-in feeling of traditional drawing. Professionals rely on its precision and speed, but mostly because it feels right.

Paper to digital in a snap
Your device’s camera just became a scanner. Scan Sketch imports your line art with a transparent background, ready for inking and coloring.

Available on all your devices
You carry your phone with you everywhere. Let your ideas and art ride shotgun with a SketchBook subscription.

Familiar tools in a digital space
Pencils, inks, markers, and over 190 customizable brushes that can incorporate both textures and shapes. Bonus: The exclusive Copic® Color Library beloved by illustrators.

Serious innovation (when you want it)
Use traditional rulers and ellipse guides for precise lines. Or embrace assistive wizardry with 16-sector Radial Symmetry and Predictive Stroke that smooths lines and corrects shapes. (Your secret’s safe with us.)

PSD compatible on all devices
Export your work as JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and — of course — PSD. Layered PSDs are fully preserved (import and export), including layer names, groups, and blending modes.

A designer’s best friend
SketchBook for Windows PC is used by product designers, architects, automobiles, and industrial designers to iterate quickly and communicate their ideas.

Note: 7 days trial version. Works on all devices. Autodesk ID required after trial.
