A sketchbook with the tools you'd expect

Sketch ideas, draw finished pieces and animate frame by frame. Layers, blend modes, guides and a time-lapse of how you made it, saved to the project you're working on.

Every app included. From £29 a month after the trial.

The Stydyo Sketchbook with brushes, layers and a drawing in progress

How it works

Three steps

  1. 1

    Pick a brush

    20 brushes with paper grain, plus smooth pens, with pressure where your pen reports it.

  2. 2

    Build it in layers

    Blend modes, clipping masks, alpha lock, symmetry and perspective guides.

  3. 3

    Share it

    Export a PNG or a layered PSD, a GIF of an animation, or the time-lapse.

Where it works

In the browser: The full Sketchbook, including selections and video export.

iPhone and iPad app: The full brush library, layers, guides, animation and time-lapse on iPhone and iPad (in testing). The app shares GIFs rather than video.

The iPhone and iPad app is in testing and isn't in the App Store yet. Everything works in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone today.

Good to know before you buy

  • Apple Pencil pressure and palm rejection haven't been tested on a real iPad yet.
  • Selections for transforming part of a layer are on the web only.

Questions about Sketchbook

Does it work with a stylus?

Pressure works with pens that report it to the browser. The iPad app is in testing; Apple Pencil support will be confirmed on real devices before it's released.

Can I open my drawing in Photoshop?

Yes. Export a PSD with layers, names, blend modes and alpha lock kept.
