I recently purchased the new iPhone app Autodesk SketchBook Mobile, and as I had a spare five hours on my train trip back from Bristol today I thought I’d have a play. At first found it hard to draw with my fingers instead of a pen or stylus however I found it easier as the time went on. The app has some great features such as layers (like Photoshop) allowing you to do your line drawing on one layer and your shading and colouring on another. It’s a pity that there are only three layers, as I found I wanted different colours on separate layers. I also found it a shame that there wasn’t an undo button, as it was a bit tedious going back and erasing any errors whilst making sure I didn’t erase any areas I was happy with by mistake.

However for £1.79 its a great app probably the best that I’ve ever brought, and great for killing time during a long commute, below are some of the doodles I was doing today, hardly masterpieces:
