Description

Been using Simple Drawing – Sketchbook for a couple months now. It’s basically a digital sketchbook where you can doodle and create quick sketches right on your phone. Pretty solid app if you’re into drawing and painting, even if you’re not an artist.

Here’s what you do: you just open up the app, pick a canvas size, and start scribbling with your finger. There’s also a bunch of brushes and pencils you can use – took me a while to figure that out but they’re pretty useful. And you can even add text, shapes, and stickers to your sketches which is kinda cool.

Look, if you’re into casual drawing and doodling, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the undo button is a bit finicky – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a simple, no-frills sketching app.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Simple Drawing - Sketchbook. I've tested a bunch of drawing apps and this one's a pretty solid choice if you just want something simple and fun. The tools are basic but they get the job done, and I like that you can just pick it up and start sketching without a big learning curve. The interface is clean and intuitive too. The main downside is that it can get a little repetitive after a while, and the ads can be annoying if you don't pay. But overall, I'd say it's a good option for casual doodlers and artists-in-training.

Very basic sketch-up app. On the paid version you get a color dropper tool, print option and several pre-picked colors. On the other hand - neither supports brush transparency, so...
