Sketchbook Pro for absolute Beginners With Trent

[@graysonfelt4577]

Man this guy is the best guy that does tutorials on youtube. Not awkward at all and has a nice voice. Knows what hes doing!

[@philipwhollingsworth3872]

AThis was the very first video I watched when I started out in the world of digital art. It both inspired me to get Sketchbook and to improve my technique. I have really grown in my art, both digital and conventional as a result. Every time I want to get back to basics I return to this video that has come to mean so much to me. Thank You Trent and God Bless You. Lol

[@TrentKaniuga]

Thanks Philip!

Aug 2022 and this tutorial is still kick ass

[@iantang2866]

Really appreciate your calmness. This is complex to beginners

[@ingl0rius]

You have that rare combination of technical talent and an amazing teaching manner - subscribed!

[@solertree8653]

I got sketchbook pro a few days ago (thanks to watching a LOT of Trent's awesome content), never having had a lot of experience with digital art before, and it was an absolute joy to use!

[@supervetze]

Can't believe this video was up here since 2016 and I knew nothing about it. This should be the go to video when starting drawing! Thank you, kind sir!

[@heatherlloyd-king8927]

Ive only just acquired a drawing pad and this is a very helpful video! I was running around in circles until your help... many thanks for posting!

[@nancymartin3869]

Wow! You're an absolutely wonderful teacher. I went from just downloading Sketchbook to feeling like I have a decent grasp on the tools. I can't wait to explore to see my tastes. I also love your ability to not go terribly in-depth past past the intro skill level.

[@justfrancesca8185]

Hi Trent! I just bought a Wacom intuos. When it gets here I'll watch the rest of this video. Thanks for the direction for a artist wanting to try out digital!

[@justfrancesca8185]

really great tutorial, very helpful

[@masco8793]

Hey Trent, I'm a traditional artist that's been looking to get into more digital stuff. I really enjoyed this video and appreciate the way you explained all of the tools here. It's helped me understand sketchbook pro so much better. Thank you!

[@grandmatammy464]

Absolute Beginner, that's me. Thank you for your tutorial. I found it especially helpful and your teaching style put me at ease. I especially love your advice about compare yourself to how well you did yesterday. That's a gem, applicable to many areas of life.

[@OrcinusRex60]

Just watching you use the smudge brush has helped my shading look 1000 times better. Thanks

[@OrcinusRex60]

Because I was having a difficult time blending a lot of my art came out like pop art. Anyways here's a like to the drawing that I think came out way better... www.deviantart.com/dckingsley/art/Jessica-Rabbit-779639936

[@wearingart]

Thanks for the gym analogy. It's something I knew deep down, but it's great to hear every so often because I sometimes get frustrated at my progress when I see other artists.

[@Kaoshihimura9]

I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and with its pen and this program, I have definitely taken my art to a different level. The pen on the Surface Pro 4 is very precise and I would recommend anyone who is serious about drawing and painting into getting one of these laptops, I absolutely love mine and it was definitely created with the artist in mind. I am so glad I found this Program, it is simple to use (easier than Photoshop and Illustrator) but it packs a punch. Hopefully, there will be more tutorial videos uploaded soon, I really want to keep the progress I have made and take it to a whole new level, so thank you for this video.

[@FrederickMathieu]

Thanks Trent

[@darren1139]

My tablet arrives tomorrow. This video has me excited by all the features it has.

[@sandocaster]

First time I have ever literally applauded after a youtube video. thanks so much Trent, you da man!!!!

[@haiansun]

Even if I was using Sketchbook for a few drawings, you made me discover tools and way to use them ! Thank you so much, your video was so helpful !

[@TrentKaniuga]

Glad to help!

[@amberm.769]

Thank you so much for making this video my husband and I both use sketchbook pro. I have always struggled with the tools but your video made it easier to understand. I have put art down for a while because I was comparing myself to others and not liking where I was as an artist. I am working through my issues and starting to get better. Thanks again and art on! 😁

i feel like im the rare case (at least nowadays) of someone in his forties whom has been painting and drawing physically /traditionally and Im now serious about getting into digital. I can paint and draw ...Im finding it hard to find tutorials that just explain the tools I need.. THis was really helpful thanx

[@portitta]

I'm so glad to see you doing videos with sketchbook pro. I really do love this program, and think it has so much potential.

[@ona1123]

That is amazing and useful so I watch all ADS on your video to support you

[@jrockyy1]

I was actually waiting for one of these from you. Your Hanna Solo Drawing was a huge inspiration for me. Im working on some digital art for my portfolio and deadlines are closing in. This was a huge help.

[@justlilly7653]

This tutorial was so good. Your voice is so calming omg. I got so excited when I saw color blending because I have been using paint.net for two years and have never been able to blend colors no option for that In paint.net program that I know of. Thank you so much.

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I've watched a few different "beginner" tutorial videos that immediately left me in the dust and made me feel like a moron.

[@MarschelArts]

Thank you for the introduction! I rescently got more into Sketchbook Pro because it works wonders on the Surface Pro 4 as a mobile digital workstation. Getting used to it was a bit hard in the beginning since it I am so used to my workflow in photoshop. But thanks to your little kickstart I had an easier time getting used to it. I also do painting videos, but i don't have one for sketchbook Pro yet. I will change that once I got more used to it! Thanks again for the introduction and your other tutorials as well! as well!

[@diaspiano]

Thanks for the lesson! Just ordered my new wacom, cant wait to use it in sketchbook pro!

Thanks for making this video. I played around a little with the free version of Sketchbook the other day and I really liked it. This video showed me what the Pro version is capable of. I plan on purchasing it. I've subscribed. I look forward to watching more of your content as I grow in my digital art skills.

[@mkollision894]

Just a tip, if you want it to be more affordable the iPad version is free and can do everything for a 4$ upgrade, it also means you don't need a tablet.

Hey Trent awesome video for beginners. I am more of a traditional medium type and fine arts myself, and I was looking into trying a different medium and this is great. Thanks to your how to for beginners I got this program and it worked out great, had a blast with it. Thank you so much for introducing this medium and for your knowledge and tips, they really made using this really simple and uncluttered.

I have a Chuwi NotebookPro that's got 8 gigs of Ram and a 500 GB SSD hard drive with a stylus that has 5000 levels of pressure sensitivity. Brand new, its under $500 and has a high resolution 10 inch touch capacitive ISP screen and it detaches from the keyboard allowing you to use it like a tablet like the Micro$oft $urface Pro. PERFECT for Sketchbook Pro.

[@daebyun]

Hello Trent, Loved the tutorial. I knew 5 minutes in that I was going to subscribe to your channel. I am new to digital and to be honest pretty new to drawing. But I want to learn. Loved the analogy about the gym. Anyway, I bought a Wacom Intruos ART and couldn't get it to work correctly with the Bundled Software Corel 5 Essentials, so I went in search of other software and Found Sketchbook. I didn't want to just dive in and stumble along and I found this vid. Fantastic! I will be back for more.

[@AsifurRahmanbrandnanny]

Hey I am not big on leaving comments but I must say you are very inspiring. I work in advertising and I didn't think I even wanted to know anything other that photoshop and what it has to offer. Funny I came across this video and I have one of those touchscreen lenovo machines so I'm kind of experimenting and learning with a stylus right on the screen and not on a wacom device, but I guess my point is to say thank you for this and your other videos. You do a good job dude, you're a good teacher, and you don't sound like a 'know-it-all' dick when you speak-a problem many of us need a cure for. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely suggest others to use your videos as lessons that actually are fun to watch, doesn't unnecessarily make anything sound like rocket science and the fact that you encourage viewers to "just enjoy it and have fun with it" is like a breath of fresh air. Peace

I'm quickly looking back at the Astro Pad app to use my iPad Pro 12.9" with Apple Pencil as a tablet. I primarily work in windows on my Macbook Pro (MId 2017) under Bootcamp. So Astropad basically looks like it only caters to Mac users. Being that said, why wouldn't I just draw the projects on Sketchbook locally on the iPad - why do I even need to interface with the computer again? Especially if I'm not using any Mac software? Just needing some clarification here.

is there a way to set the preferences so that the floating menus pop up more to the left or right of the stylus depending on your handedness? im right handed and every time i hover to open the floating menu, its always underneath the heel of my hand.....ps its called the puck. zoom puck, color puck, brush puck depending on how youre using it at the moment.

I hope that makes sense...thanks.
