Since then, SketchBook products have amassed more than 27 million users, been featured on <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.sketchbook.com\/news\/announcing-sketchbook-ink.html\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&#039;s press conference stage<\/a> for the iPad, and in a <a href=\"http:\/\/news.autodesk.com\/press-release\/archived\/o-oprah-magazine-and-autodesk-spark-creativity-sketchbook-o-app-ipad\" target=\"_blank\">collaboration with Oprah<\/a> Magazine. The app has been used by everyone from Nike designer <a href=\"http:\/\/counterkicks.com\/2012\/12\/exclusive-how-to-recreate-tinker-hatfields-ipad-sketch-setup\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tinker Hatfield<\/a> to Garfield creator <a href=\"http:\/\/community.wacom.com\/en\/inspiration\/blog\/2014\/may\/how-to-draw-the-most-famous-cat-in-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Davis<\/a> and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Today, as we celebrate its five-year anniversary, we&#039;re unveiling a brand new SketchBook for iOS and Android, including Intel\u00ae-based Android mobile devices, which unites the mobile experience across all platforms, so the same SketchBook app will work on your phone and your tablet. With this consistent design philosophy guiding our efforts, we developed new tools to further enrich the digital artist&#039;s preferred mobile drawing tool kit:&#160;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Layer blending modes including glow and soft glow<\/li>\n<li>Selection tools for manipulating, transforming, and drawing within specific parts of the image<\/li>\n<li>All new brushes, including a set of synthetic and smudge brushes (a top community-requested addition)<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic flood fill tools with solid, linear and radial gradients<\/li>\n<li>A completely redesigned and customizable UI including the combined Brush and Color Puck enhancements<\/li>\n<li>An enhanced gallery for an easy way to view, organize and manage sketches<\/li>\n<li>Optimized for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and iOS8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check out the video of the new SketchBook mobile below:<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>The new SketchBook app is compatible with the most popular stylus on the market, including the newly-announced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wacom.com\/en\/us\/creative\/intuos-creative-stylus-2?gclid=CMKt0IXe3MACFSpo7AodSAQAzQ\">Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus 2<\/a>. Today we\u2019re also excited to announce that the new SketchBook will be compatible with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiftythree.com\/pencil\">Pencil by FiftyThree<\/a>, so you have even more ways to interact with the app.<\/p>\n<p>SketchBook is free to download and start using on the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store. Giving digital artists choice is important to the SketchBook team, so we\u2019ve enabled in-app purchasing for those who prefer single-platform access to SketchBook. All the features described above will be available for USD $3.99 suggested retail price as an in-app purchase, and we\u2019ll periodically release new packs for around that same price.<\/p>\n<p>To give our users the freedom to capture inspiration anywhere it strikes, we\u2019ve also enabled a new SketchBook product line membership option providing users access to Pro features on all platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows and Mac OSX. We are also enabling Intel-based mobile devices running Android for the new version of SketchBook. More detail about Pro membership is available at www.sketchbook.com\/memberships.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been such a thrilling experience working with all of you over the past five years to continue to provide the best digital drawing experience possible, so you can continue to create the most amazing work. What you create with SketchBook is a daily motivator for us, and it drives us to make digital art tools better and more accessible for everyone. When we see children using our apps to experience digital art for the first time, and see amazing artists like Bobby Chiu and Scott Robertson use the <em>very same app<\/em> in their production work, it proves to us that we\u2019re on the right track \u2013 but our work is far from finished. Our commitment to this community grows stronger each year, and you can expect to see many new features, new tools, and new, innovative ways to capture individual creativity from us in the coming months and years.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you\u2019ll enjoy the new SketchBook, and we look forward to bringing you more SketchBook updates in the near future.
