Pro version features were available after purchasing monthly or annual subscription. Previously, only basic app was free to download and use. Autodesk SketchBook Pro has been a recommended digital drawing software for drawing artists, creative professionals, and anyone interested in drawing. I've sent a bug report to Autodesk, but I haven't seen the issue reported elsewhere.Avail all the Pro features for free now on desktop, mobile, and tablet.Īutodesk has announced that its Sketchbook Pro version is available for free to all, starting May 2018. Microsoft published a graphics driver update that fixes hardware acceleration for other apps, but now Sketchbook for Windows Tablet won't start on my device. ONE IMPORTANT CAVEAT: With Windows 10 preview running on the Surface Pro 3, the app runs very poorly because of a bug in build 9926 that crippled hardware acceleration. If you use Sketchbook, this update is a no-brainer and you may find yourself needing to use the desktop program less often. The app features a very minimal interface that is easy to hide, leaving a full screen blank canvas.

Playing with the app briefly on the Surface Pro 3 and my desktop pc with a Monoprice 22' Smarttouch pen display, the experience is very nice.
