Fiddling around with it some. Interesting. It's not going to replace Illustrator by any means (that's been my main medium for 13 years) but I kinda like it more than Ideas - I think I might take it out to doodle some this week. Stuff I'd like to see: sync sketchbook across devices (maybe via evernote?) palm rejection with bluetooth styli an equivalent to AI's artboard - a way to say "this is the edge of my canvas, please export a 72/150/300/other DPI image" instead of making the user futz with it some way to organize drawings into different sketchbooks, also a way to delete a drawing from the home page I also kinda feel like I'd like to see some calibration notches on the sliders. The UI could be a bit more streamlined? I'd love to have immediate access to all the tools and a color popup instead of having to possibly double-tap on the brushes/tools icon to get the menu. ArtRage really gets it right with its little popups in the corner and a tiny toolbar on the bottom, but bitmap apps just make me itchy. |

I went back and forth on the number of taps required to open up the brush or tools menu - the current implementation will open the menu directly if you already have that tool selected, and switch to the tool otherwise. Ex if calligraphy is selected then you touch brushes -> menu opens. If calligraphy is selected and you touch tools, then the eraser (or the MRU tool) is selected and the menu does not open.
This flow works really well when you switch are switching between 2 types of anything, like between calligraphy and the pencil, or calligraphy and the eraser and (I like it because) it doesn't have popups flying in your face constantly. It works less well if you switch between 3 (ex calligraphy->eraser->pencil.) A second downside is that the logic behind when 1 or 2 clicks is required is somewhat less than obvious.
(You can delete drawings, press and hold on the thumbnail in the homescreen)
