Autodesk Releases SketchBook Mobile on the App Store

Autodesk SketchBook Mobile is a new professional-grade paint and drawing app that offers a full set of sketching tools in a streamlined and intuitive user interface designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch.

The SketchBook Mobile App uses the same engine as Autodesk SketchBook Pro painting and drawing software, delivering much of the same power and functionality as the desktop application.

A combination of high-quality digital pencils, pens, markers and airbrushes, as well as an artist-friendly, gesture-based user interface, enables users to create everything from quick sketches to print-quality production artwork.

"Mobile apps are becoming increasingly advanced, moving beyond simple entertainment or utilitarianism," said Robert "Buzz" Kross, senior vice president, Manufacturing Industry Group at Autodesk.

"We are delighted to offer an app on the App Store for industrial designers and the creative community.

With the SketchBook Mobile App, Autodesk continues its long-standing tradition of bringing cost-effective professional design technology to the market."
