Five years ago, we launched Autodesk’s very first mobile app—SketchBook Mobile for iOS. In just 50 days, it hit over 1 million downloads. What began as a simple experiment in mobile creativity turned into a game-changer for digital artists everywhere. It transformed the way people think, sketch, and iterate, making it easier than ever to capture inspiration on the go.

SketchBook Then & Now: Five Years of SketchBook on Mobile
The success of SketchBook encouraged Autodesk to expand its mobile portfolio, offering new creative tools for students, hobbyists, and professionals alike. Since then, SketchBook has grown to over 27 million users, been showcased at Apple’s iPad launch events, and even appeared in collaborations with magazines like Oprah. From Nike’s Tinker Hatfield to Garfield’s Jim Davis, the app has become a trusted tool across the creative world.
Today, as we celebrate five years of innovation, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new version of SketchBook for both iOS and Android—including Intel-based devices. This update unifies the experience across all platforms, so you can use the same app on your phone or tablet seamlessly. With this consistent design approach, we’ve added several powerful new features to enhance your digital art toolkit:
- Layer blending modes, including glow and soft glow effects
- Advanced selection tools for precise editing and drawing
- Brand-new brushes, including synthetic and smudge brushes (a highly requested feature)
- Dynamic flood fill with solid, linear, and radial gradients
- A completely redesigned and customizable UI, featuring improved brush and color controls
- A more intuitive gallery for organizing and managing your sketches
- Optimized for iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and iOS 8

The new SketchBook is compatible with leading styluses, including the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus 2. We're also thrilled to announce compatibility with the Pencil by FiftyThree, giving you even more options to create with precision and control.
SketchBook is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. For those who prefer single-platform access, we've introduced in-app purchases, with all the new features available for $3.99. We'll continue to release new content packs at similar prices.
To give users full flexibility, we’ve also launched a new membership program that grants access to Pro features across all platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. The new version is now optimized for Intel-based Android devices too. Learn more about the Pro membership at [www.sketchbook.com/memberships](https://www.sketchbook.com/memberships).
Over the past five years, working with our amazing community has been an incredible journey. Your creativity inspires us every day, pushing us to build better, more accessible tools for digital artists everywhere. Seeing kids discover art for the first time and watching pros like Bobby Chiu and Scott Robertson use the same app in their work reminds us we're on the right path—but there's still so much more to do.
Our commitment to the community grows stronger each year, and we have exciting updates coming soon. Expect new features, tools, and innovative ways to express your creativity in the months and years ahead.
We hope you enjoy the new SketchBook and look forward to sharing more updates with you. To join our anniversary celebration, share your artwork on the SketchBook blog.
