> **Razaanah** | *16 January 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: For a free application I loved the variety of tools you’re given. Though I wouldn’t say it’s the best for beginners as the interface can a be a little confusing.
> 
> **Cons**: This is a personal thing but I wasn’t able to get a grip on the program as a beginner. I might now that I have more experience.
> 
> Sketchbook was great and had man great aspects to it. I was put off from the large variety of functions and tools but nevertheless it’s a great app once you get a hold of.

> 
> **Pros**: I like the quick boot up right to a drawing space and the pencils that have an incredibly nice drawing texture.
> 
> **Cons**: It doesn’t have a lot of versatility outside of sketching and painting somewhat. I wished it had a 3D component to it with the ability to import models.
> 
> Very good, mostly for casual art. You can utilize it to paint, but I’ve never chose it as my primary drawing program.
