Its deliberate simplicity makes it perfect for beginners who want to learn to draw;
equally, advanced artists will find a wonderful buttery, tonal canvas for their life studies, cartoons, abstracts, landscapes and other subjects. The app is engineered to deliver rapid, but powerful image capture, facilitated by a great transform function that allows you to pick up the drawing, resize it and move it around the canvas, and a amazing zoom that lets you draw in minute detail. So if you want to put a traditional, but digital sketch pad in your pocket, this is the app for you.

Pros and cons of Asketch app for iPhone and iPad
Asketch app good for
I really wanted an iPad app that mimicked the harmony web app and this is pretty close. My only complaint is that the menu is somewhat unresponsive at times.
For future versions Id like to see community integration of some kind to share users sketches and perhaps the option to save/open pieces so they can be reworked at a later date. Screen capping to save is one thing but Id like the ability to import a picture to work on. This would also be great for sketching onto another drawing or photo!
My most frequently used drawing app! Highly expressive and great line / shadow work! Would like to see a few more brushes and ability to manually control the width of the stroke but otherwise a terrific drawing program.
This app is a great way to express all that artistic personality you have within you. This app with be like your using your very own pencil,but your using your finger. It shows the ways of art and different ways to draw what youve wished of drawing your whole life.it really does make you feel like you have known this way of art for years when really you just got this app today and its very easy to do the strokes with your finger and if you wish to lighten the color up,and or erase the mistake you have made. I must admit it is very hard to make the drawings on this app look non pro. I recommend this app for children over the age of 7 or 8 years of age.
This app is amazing see it used a lot very nice and epic. I think it would be kind of nice if there was a color section so you could go o that and also make color pictures, but very great app..:) :)
Simple, elegant UI that has an amazing range of options. Very fast response that makes drawing with this app easy and intuitive.
Definitely the best of the bunch.
Easy to use and the few tools are more that adequate to produce great BW sketches. Its my favorite.
Some bad moments
Ive loaded this and reloaded it and it keeps crashing. When it does it wont open again. The only solution appears to be deleting it and re-installing. Then it begins again. I can find no way to actually use this app. It just wont work at all without crashing and then needing to be deleted and re-installed to open it... If you want to do this forever... Ill not see that dollar or that 30 minutes of my life again. How did this make it to the app store?
This would be a great app if it worked right, it stays open for like a min at most then crashes, I wish I would of read the reviews on it be for wasting money on thing app, if there ganna charge for apps they should make sure there apps work its a piss off to wast cash on things that dont work
Just bought it this evening and it crashed once I opened it and it wont reopen. I hope the developer contacts me to either fix problem or returns my money. I will post again to let others know whether matter was satisfactorily resolved. At present, I strongly advise not to purchase. Caveat emptor!!!
Iwent looking for a simple drawing app and now Want a refund... Terrible app compared to sketchbook ink, which i found after this disappointment. Regret parting with the $$ for this. Terrible user experience, the erase tool is inscrutable, the draw tools are just not as good as sbook ink and well.. Ink is free. Look elsewhere
Meh. Good for basic sketches. Doesnt aspire to be anything unique, hence doesnt inspire either. Keeps changing the pen to the colour pen even when I want the black pen. Shading is turned on all the time, hence cant just draw a line. Please fix.
Im convinced the good reviews are plants. This program is garbage and takes your $2.99
Dont make the mistake I did.
