\nDoodle Using ‘SketchBook Mobile Express’ For Android<\/a>, originally uploaded by royblumenthal<\/a>.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n

\nI’ve been yearning for a decent drawing app for my Android phone (I have an HTC DESIRE). MAGIC DOODLE was the closest I was able to get to actually USING the phone for drawing. But it had too many drawbacks for it to become anything more than a curiosity.<\/p>\n

Now, AutoDesk has risen to the challenge by releasing SketchBook Mobile Express for Android. The app has been around for ages on the iPhone and iPad. <\/p>\n

My verdict? It’s absolutely brilliant! Totally intuitive way of choosing tools, colours, resizing brushes, working with layers. Potent user interface.<\/p>\n

Limitations? It’s the free version of a much more potent app. So it seems you can only work with a total of three active layers, you can’t save a work-in-progress, you can only export PNG versions of your image, your canvas size is limited, and you have a limited number of tools.<\/p>\n

Biggest limitation? Being a South African citizen means I’m persona non-grata in the world of Google Apps Store. We’re STILL not allowed to buy anything. So the paid-version remains out of reach. Come on, Google! Wake up! The world is not limited to America!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Share\"<\/a>\n
