Man I really appreciate what you are doing! I'm a graduate-to-be industrial design student from China and I just watch your video clips to know about how designers create things from the other side of the world and for example, I just bought an iPad Air for sketching and got really confused how you and Nick Baker and other designers render products using an iPad, thank god you made this video, the design world needs you! Keep this up plz!
Hi. You asked a commenter how you could make the video better. The title is How to Use Sketchbook. You asked another commenter if the tutorial is still part of the user's first encounter with SB. The tutorial does not go into detail the way a youtube video is expected to. Your title should have been "How to Draw A...Whatever that was you drew" because it did not touch on the features I "didn't" know how to use. I am trying to incorporate the T (text) feature with my drawing. I have shapes and lines down. I have color. The tutorial and this video have me still searching when I really am running out of time. I'm glad it helped so many others though.
i agree. I just downloaded Sketchbook tonight to take a look and this popped up as a tutorial. There was no explanation on how the tools (ruler etc) work, how to delete things, how to move things around etc. The author is clearly skilled but as a teaching video it fails for beginners.
I was expecting more from this video, hopefully learning some new trick (as I have been using it for a long time) instead I see you directly drawing on top of another drawing, as a tutorial for using this program you left behind most of the tools, some of them would be helpful to your drawing (there is a perspective tool, right beside the import picture icon, that will help you draw the lines to the vanishing point as it even allows you to draw only the lines that go to those points, you have one, two and three vanishing points perspective types. You don’t show some basic things, things like: - the first thing you set is the canvas size, and you can’t resize it later. - the drawings are pixels, not vectors so be aware that when resizing up you will lose definition - how to save, share, and go back to a previous sketch - and at least a brief description of all the tools and their use. - also a brief description of all the things you can do with the layers, swap them, change their blending type, their transparency... Well, sorry if I’m being too demanding, but the title of the video announces something that you did not: show how to use the app, you don’t even show how you manage your layers.
This guy is sooo helpful. I just got this app yesterday on my iPad at first I was fooling around with it and see what it does. Then I want to complete my art on pen version for overlapping the ruff sketch on my work. Then I didn't know what to do until I found this video. I finally know what to do for my final sketch thank you Sam:-)
After creating my second sketch, when I want to save this one and start a new one, the “New Sketch” option doesn’t seem to work anymore. Any help at the earliest will be appreciated. Even the “Gallery” option next to the “New Sketch” option doesn’t seem to work.
Love your videos and sketches! It's really helpful to see your process and learn the tools. It would be helpful to see a video on how you render all kinds of materials like woods, metals, plastics, etc. That's probably my biggest weakness when I sketch.
Hey mate this tutorial had me lost in first fifteen seconds and I am a pro....you forgot how to set up your page and the rest at the start. Hope you will redo and do not forget amateurs are watching not pros
As a fellow lefty, it is nice to have drawing tools that don't smudge moving left to right :-). Is there anyway to remove the loope like thing on the upper left from your view?
@@SamDoesDesign Have you tried Procreate? Do you have a video on it, if so? I know artists swear by it, but I'm having trouble getting into it, and for my card designs I'm using Sketchbook.
Hi Sam, thank you for your tutorials they are excellent. Could you recommend an app for drawing 2D cad drawings on the iPad. Autocad is too expensive so if you knew of any affordable ones. Thank you .
Great video. I would have liked to have a camera over your shoulder to see how you are touching, tapping, and moving the pencil to get all those lines.
This video assumes we know the features of Sketchbook and know what we are doing. There is not enough explanation as to what each tool and feature does.
Noted! This video was meant to get everyone sketching as fast as possible. Does sketchbook still do the welcome tutorial when you first open it? Play with the app, explore, and have fun!
@Dill Pickle just Clíck on the upper layer and then select fuse, and it wil group it with the layer just below, of fuse all and it will fuse your current layer with all that are below. Once you have them fused you cannot separate them again, unless with the undo option, but it will also undo everything you did after the fusion. That’s the closest you can get to grouping layers
Is there a way to change the size of a sketch? Sometimes when I’m drawing (usually a face) I find that some features are out of proportion, so I select said feature individually and mess around with the warp tool to change it’s size, but it’s very unreliable and doesn’t give me the results I want. I have yet to find a feature that lets me play around with that. Since you seem to be very accustomed to app, maybe you can let me in on the secret? If it does exist that is.
You can select it with the selection tool (fist one on the upper bar after redo) there you can choose a selection mode, and once the selection is made, clic on “move” that is the next tool on the bar, once move is activated you can resize it, move it around and even distort it, once you are happy with the result, click ok on the upper bar and you are done. ;)
Yeah Sam. If you are going to start out saying you wont sketch until you go over the all the features.. You FORGOT one really big one... How to save and or export (:
I have the app & thinking about upgrading if this is good!!! Is there a wand tool....would be great if someone just did some basic “street smart” mechanics like wand tool to select areas, cut copy, paste, etc!!!!
Of course it is ok, it’s another tool. Back in time when there where no iPads, just pen and paper, we already had rulers, compasses to draw circles, and templates with curves to help us draw better, without having to develop an unusual skill of drawing perfect geometries by hand.
I'm currently looking at laptops/computers and was wondering how much you used the design schools computers or your own for things like 3D modelling, rendering and preparing write ups and presentations and how much would you use a laptop/computer on a day to day basis when at college
Patrick Monkman hey! I used the university computers quite a lot, especially for the 3D CAD software that I didn’t own. But as deadlines got closer, it was great to use my own laptop and iPad for the Adobe Cloud without needing to leave my room!
Maybe it has to do something with the layer that you are working on. You can only amend the colour if you are working on the layer with that specific colour that you’re working with.
Hey ive got a question can you change the SIZE of the canvas on the ipad pro? I want to buy an ipad pro. I had an ipad and i drew on sketchbook a lot but i couldnt change the size of the canvass AT ALL. Like it was always the same size no matter the settings i gave it! It couldnt become more square or more rectangular. Something i can do now on an android tablet So, on the ipad pro you can change the size or not? Thanks!
HELP MEEE. On Autodesk Sketchbook, I deleted the long skinny toolbar at the top (by accident) And now, I cant get it back! I've looked it up, but I can't find anything. It wouldn't be horrible if I couldn't find the copics tab because the toolbar was deleted. I'm a sad sack ;^; Edit: I use a Huion Hs 610 (I think) and I plug it into my pc
I recently purchased an iPad Pro 2nd gen tried to download sketchbook pro and a note popped up saying I would need to download anything under the 11 operating system version.
@@SamDoesDesign Thanks for the honesty :-) I'm thinking of splurging on an iPad Pro to showcase Morpholio Trace at work, was hoping to find a similar solution using an inexpensive Wacom Tablet using Windows, which my firm uses almost exclusively.
No, it does not, but it has something that surprisingly Sam did not use, a set of perspective guidelines. The tool is beside the image importing tool, you can choose from several types of perspectives, and it gives you the option to lock your lines to the guidelines.
It seems to autosave and returns to your last project when you re-open the app. If you want to make sure it saves click on the symbol to the left of undo arrow. Then click Gallery and you will be prompted to save.
I'm needing help. Here is what I would like to do. . . - take a picture of my brother with his motorcycle. - cut out the picture, and move just the part of my brother and his motorcycle. - edit the background so that way it's him with a totally different background I drew. - Draw this background and add to background, without affecting the original picture. I wanted to use glow brush to give him flaming wings. I am using a Lenovo tab 4, 10". Finger drawing.
You decide it’s size before starting drawing but you can’t change it later, the only thing you can do is crop it within another app, like any other picture
You can’t resize the canvas once you choose one, the only way to fix it is, open a new canvas with the size you want an then import your previous art and scale it to the desired size, but note that, as graphics on this app are based on pixels, not in vectors, if you want to scale your art up much, it will lose resolution, as it will maintain the original one.
Thank you so much I really needed help on all the stuff I’ve never done iPad Pro before or sketchbook I’m really excited to start today I don’t know how to switch pages done is that in the videos and I am going to keep watching multiple times I might even like to check your truck is really
Hi,how can i made copy from photo or image with a white one on top(mean like making tattoos ,copying from the original pictures or images with an transparent paper?).Can be done on sketch ?
You can import the picture or pictures you need, each one will land by default in a different layer, you can then resize the pictures on each layer, rotate them, move them along, distort them and play with the layers transparency to see through the upper ones...
How do I bring back up my current saved layer I can’t find it. It ask me do I wanna save it. I hit yes . To start drawing new layer. Back I want my old drawing back 😢
Does anyone know when exporting your sketch from sketchbook, is it possible to export vector or how to change the file format while exporting from iPad's Sketchbook? Thanks in advance!
This app does not make vectors, only pixels, you can “share” via email, or via some other drawing app (not all are compatible) or just save it to your images.
I'm searching for something in this app but I can't find it , hope you can help me , i'm searching for a ruler with numbers if someone know how to show this ruler please i need your help
Sam_Does_Design same how do you survive with two great apps? I love how intuitive Sketchbook is and reminds me a bit like painting on Photoshop. I love Procreate too for its easy user interface

Dude you're so respectful, respect.
Ive had this and had no idea or whatsoever how to use this app now i know way more then befor, this definitely helped a bit
This gives me a better idea on when and how to use sketchbook pro
I appreciate this! Would love to see a video wherein you discuss essential tools an industrial design student needs in the future. Thank you so much!

Hey mate this tutorial had me lost in first fifteen seconds and I am a pro....you forgot how to set up your page and the rest at the start. Hope you will redo and do not forget amateurs are watching not pros
Granted, I should have explained how to set up a canvas. I could do a full video on explaining canvas sizes and purposes as well

Sam, is that 12.9 or 11 inch?
How do I get that thing with the big black dot like right by all the art stuff if I deleted it
This is great, recently got an ipad and I’ve been using a wacom intuos and I wonder if I should buy the Apple Pencil. What do you think?
Nice. How do you select multiple layers without a bluetooth keyboard to hold cmd or shift? Thanks.
This was a very nice and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks a lot. Also can I follow your procreate tutorials on autodesk sketchbook?
followed ur IG long time ago, so excited for seeing you in youtube! goin to watch all ur videos. fan frm Southeast Asia here. 😍😍
