Concepts – Sketch, Design, Illustrate app allow you to sketch ideas, write notes, and doodles with tilt + pressure, draw storyboards, and share with friends, clients, and other apps.
The best app for artists to create their masterpieces
While it’s easy to get caught up in the app’s feature list and display screen, it’s important to point out that at its core, it’s an excellent sketching and design app. You can use various pens and brushes to create art and can easily adjust brush thickness, opacity, color, and more using the Concept’s radial menu. The app isn’t simple, but it doesn’t pack in unnecessary features that get in the way of art. You can boot it up, pick your tool, and sketch away.
While physical mediums have their advantages, this amazing app comes with the advantages of working on a screen rather than paper. You can undo mistakes, edit things after you’ve created them, copy and paste items, and match colors perfectly. It’s a great way to express yourself on a device you might already have for work or school.
Under the hood, the app uses vector and raster creation tools to make art that you can manipulate, rescale, and adjust. It does all this without you really have to know how it’s working or what a vector it is, but the result is digital content that you can easily edit.
Some numerous gestures and shortcuts allow you to grab items, copy elements of a composition, and create digital artwork. When you’re done with a project, you can export it and share it wherever you’d like. To export with higher than 300dpi, you need to have at least the Essentials add-on.
Windows-specific
Concepts – Sketch, Design, Illustrate, has a strong presence on iOS. The company that owns concepts highlights big names like Disney, Apple, and Nike using their apps. With many iOS staples, Windows users have to find similar equivalents, third-party clients, or use a first-party app that’s far behind its iOS counterpart. Luckily, that isn’t the case with this amazing app. It isn’t exactly at feature parity with iOS, but it is by no means abandoned like some other Windows apps. Notable things that are missing are SVG support. It’s not completely the same as the iPad version, but the smooth performance, overall look and feel, and many features are shared across the versions.
The radial menu is easy to navigate and pops into a large color wheel that is both attractive and functional. The biggest complaint is that you can’t purchase everything within the app outright. You can purchase the Essentials plan or subscribe to get everything else, but you can pay a flat rate to access everything for life.
Overall, Concepts – Sketch, Design, Illustrate is an impressive drawing and design app with a low price point for the basics. If you like this amazing app and want to expand to more features and brushes, you can spend more to make the app more powerful.
