I'm really liking Sketchbook, it's such a direct software app. I wish the mobile and desktop had all the same features though mainly for grids.

[@robertlkiss]

Yeah it is weird that they have some different functionalities on the different versions.

[@FinessenceSL]

@@robertlkiss right, I'm learning perspective and i can't customize the grid on desktop it's a bit frustrating but still overall very good.

Hey! I love your videos, and I'm learning a lot. Thanks for sharing. I have a quick question I can't find online. I'm using an Android Samsung tablet. Can you import color pallets into the app? I paint murals, and I'm using this app to make concepts. If I can add the Montana colors to the pallets, I can have my colors match up. Thanks!

[@robertlkiss]

Thank you. Sadly I am not familiar with the android version but I’m sure it is working similar to the apple version. If you go to Colors and the the swatches button(middle one out of the 3 on the top) there should be two arrows in the bottom middle that will let you switch between your swatches, create your own and also extract from images and photos. That should solve your problem.

It depends on the tablet. I'm only familiar with the iPad where you swipe from the bottom and then you see all the apps that are open and swipe the ones away you want to close. I don't know how other tablets work.
