What is Autodesk SketchBook?

SketchBook (formerly Autodesk SketchBook) is a drawing and sketching application known for its natural pen and brush feel, predictive stroke smoothing, and clean, distraction-free interface. Autodesk discontinued the product as an Autodesk offering in mid-2021 and spun it out into an independent company, Sketchbook, Inc., founded by former Autodesk SketchBook team members, so it is no longer distributed or supported by Autodesk itself.

SketchBook is available as a free mobile app for iOS and Android with an optional one-time Premium Bundle purchase, and as a paid desktop Pro app for Windows and macOS sold through the Microsoft Store and Mac App Store. The tool remains popular with concept artists, illustrators and designers for quick sketching and ideation.
