SketchBook Pro 6 that runs in Windows and Mac and features a streamlined interface, multi-touch navigation, French curves, synthetic paint and much more.
SketchBook Pro is a professional level sketching, painting, and drawing software that allows the user to transform their computer into a perfect toolkit for an artist. Users can access a host of tools and features that include pencils, markers, brushes, colors, guides, layers and blending effects.
According to the Autodesk Product Line Manager, Chris Cheung, “The latest SketchBook Pro really builds on the qualities that have made the product so adored.” He continued that “The new brushes bring a more traditional feel and versatility to the application, but equally important are the enhancements we’ve made to performance and user interface. SketchBook Pro 6 is going to be exciting for new both new and experienced users!”
SketchBook Pro 6 features more than 100 preset brushes, featuring familiar tools, such as pencils, paintbrushes, markers, airbrushes, erasers, flood fill tools, and smudge brushes. The brushes are adjustable and can be further customized to produce a wide variety of character. Settings to randomize spacing, rotation, size, and opacity offer even more options for the artist.
It will be interesting to see how this launch will effect on Autodesk’s sales in the near future. The company just released their second quarter results that were lower than expected, and they recently announced staff cuts of more than 500 employees, who represent 7% of the total workforce.
