Sketchbook Express for iPad
Another piece of software that’s been added to my “useful apps” list: Sketchbook Express for iPad. I’ve had to do a few “rich pictures” on T214 to illustrate TMA answers – in days gone by I used to do these on paper, then use a digital camera to snap the picture and insert the photo. Not particularly elegant.
Sketchbook Express provides an easy answer – fingertip drawing, exportable as a JPEG image which you can email yourself, and it’s capable of doing some rather impressive effects & text manipulations. The end results look far more impressive in the TMA doc, I can tell you.
Express is a free app – there’s a £4.99 Pro version as well, but it seems to be overkill for simple doodle purposes (some of the sample art I’ve seen produced with Pro is very professional-looking). Worth checking out if you have an iPad.
