I was sitting at the fishing lake at Longleat, sketching from a photo in Matt’s fishing magazine whilst he fishes. The idea of drawing on-screen is pretty appealing (I never really got the hang of the chunkiness of the Wacom tablet) and SketchBook Pro is better than I expected. I’d seen the iPad apps available before launch, and Autodesk’s SketchBook Pro caught my eye. Though I was still loving wireframing and taking notes by hand, I just threw all the paints out in frustration at how slow and difficult they were. I totally loved art when I was small, but as I’ve got older, and more technology and web-obsessed, a lot of the old media went a bit out of the window. I took Art at school, did an Art Foundation and a Graphics degree.

Using a selection like a mask in SketchBook Pro MobileĬhoose a type of selection: Rectangle, Oval, Lasso, Polyline, or Magic Wand. The change is confined to the selection (like a mask). Select another tool, such as or, and use it.

If you need to make additional changes to your selection, don't forget to use the selection editing tools.

For example, make a selection, change your brush and color, then sketch. You can use another tool, while staying in selection mode.
