Sketchbook program Test

 

This program was one of the programs that I used the most. This software is a drawing/animation program that is very easy to use and if you, at any time, worked at any animation program, this will feel mostly like a quick way to do animation if you aren't worried about details.

I've used this program for animation only and a small bit for drawing. It has its own features compared to the other programs because it was mainly made for Ipad tablets and notebooks. The program was later available on the computer as it was starting to get common people having devices to draw on it.

I will go for the features that I think are very important:

1- Very easy to use compared to most programs;
2- Options for smooth drawing (a feature that was only on a tablet, but now on the computer);
3- It's not a busy program, meaning that all the options aren't on a screen distracting you from drawing.

But it has its one disadvantages:

1- It's very limited one the animation part;
2- In the animation, you have limited layers and you can't add sound directly to the program;
3- Limited ways to save your files on the program to the computer.

Some of the problems with the program I can overcome with other programs like Premiere Pro-CS6 and Photoshop CS6 if needed, but it's a very convenient program nonetheless.

I got to see some videos to direct myself in the right direction when working with the animation:
