    Because of the layering, blending, and brushes. Which is the greatest thing in every drawing app.

    It has good brushes, including the color blending, and ibis paint x needs to be a desktop software also!

    A very good app that has just enough features for almost any artists to enjoy. It has layers, some really good brush settings, and the color tool is pretty nice. Probably one of the best to use instead of Ibis Paint. Although, it does costs a lot of money, but it's ends up being worth it.

    IbisPaint X is easier to get used to and provides more functions such as layers, and Autodesk Sketchbook is just uncomfortable and doesn't provide as much functions as a person such as me would prefer.
