I recently discovered the newest version of Sketchbook Pro (2010) and I have to say “oh my freaking god! this is the coolest sketching program ever!”. I absolutely LOVE the simplicity and elegance of the software’s interface and I’m also very grateful that they follow the KISS principle very nicely (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) without cluttering the program with a whole bunch of tools and features that you seldom use.
Just for kicks I made a few sketches to add to my portfolio (pretty sketches sell VERY well on an industrial design portfolio, even if that’s not what you want to focus on) and I was very positively surprised that I still have it a little bit in me to come up with decent results. So here are a few underneath… What do you think? would you hire me??? 🙂
It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve done any sketching and although I’m still not that fast at it because I’m way too perfectionistic at times (no line I draw is ever good enough for what I would like and this of course is counterproductive when you are trying to make some quick sketches). But anyway, after finding the new version of Sketchbook and in an awesome combination with my Tablet PC (match made in heaven!) I think I can find the joy back in doodling every now and then.
