It can be a bit overwhelming to get started, but luckily for us, you only need a handful of features to use it as a time-saving planning tool. Sketchbook is available free (as of Jan 2022, it’s now $20) for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android (type “Sketchbook Pro” into the search box for your app store). Laid out a bit differently, but click the question mark icon in the upper right for help navigating. May still be worth it to you, but if not, check out Kleki: It has the same functions I use in Sketchbook.

Jan 2022 UPDATE: I’ve just been informed by a viewer that Sketchbook is back to being a paid app ($20). Sketchbook Pro is a great tool for quickly planning changes to a painting in progress, and it’s free.
