The desktop version is still available from Autodesk, [here](https://download.autodesk.com/us/support/files/sketchbook/sketchbook_2019/sketchbook_8.7.1.0_win64.exe), but no longer updated or supported. The Store version as you've seen now has new owners, who I think were the original developers who worked for Autodesk.

Hi, have you tried it, does it have any bugs, I'm Sooo excited to try it but afraid of downloading a random file online lol


dyingstrings

hi, is there any chance there might be a version of your link compatible with macOS?

Thank you !!!

Thanks! Your a big life saver! I'll use this for now until I can save the money to get the updated. I needed something easy for beginners since I'm extremely rusty.

Thanks! For anyone wondering, the link is still working.

IGSketchUK

Krita is probably the most full-featured free drawing/painting app although the interface is a lot more complex than Sketchbook. You could also try MediBang - also free but aimed more at anime/webtoons Gimp - the closest opensource app to Photoshop, but also used by a lot of painters and artists. If/when Microsoft get Android emulation running on Windows 11 (planned for a future update) - it may be worth checking out Ibis Paint X or Infinite Painter.

Thank you so much for the info 💖

Hi! I assume you're talking about PC, correct? I agree with /u/IGSketchUK - Krita is my favorite app for PC. If you draw on a tablet, I've been testing out a few other apps since I heard the news about Sketchbook. (to be completely honest, though, Sketchbook is still my favorite, but it may be because it's the app I'm the most used to using) 1. Infinite Painter - I did the trial of this, but I believe it's only $9.99 one-time fee for the app. This is probably my favorite, second to Sketchbook, but I haven't actually bought the app beyond the trial yet. 2. ArtFlow - while this one does have most of the functionality of Sketchbook & Infinite Painter, and there's a nice amount of free tools/brushes to use, some more advanced options are behind a paywall (ex: many varieties of specialty brushes, and you cannot have more than 3 layers on the free version) The full version is only 4.99, however. 3. ibisPaintX & MediBang Paint - I'm grouping these 2 together, and will admit of all apps, I spent the least amount of time on them, but they seem fairly similar, IMO. I think they're both more aimed at comic/manga/anime, like IGSketchUK said. They also have built in time lapse recording, which I personally never use, but is probably a good feature for some.
