- Sketchbook is absolutely amazing, but the tools are considered limited when compared to PaintTool SAI and Clip Studio Art Guest • May 2020 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Autodesk serves better as a Vector style drawing program than a painting program Guest • Aug 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Definitely not in any way similar to Paint Tool Sai, there is a lot less tools to work with. Guest • Jun 2017 • 14 agrees and 5 disagrees
- There are multiple layers and pretty good pencils. sixelapixelsprite • Dec 2016 • 4 agrees and 6 disagrees
