Drawing Desk: Sketch Paint Art Reviews

by Myth Shade

I can’t do a good sketch because as soon as I click on the tool a huge control panel comes up every time. This should be fixed to be optional or a separate section. There aren’t enough colors either. Plus you can only draw when DrawingDesk gives you two other options in the beginning. And those two options cost money. This is a wast of space on your phone, I still think that this can be made better and if it is made better then I think it would be a bit more worth trying. I personally don’t like it though.

I needed something quick and on the go for my flight on an airplane. I attempted to use DrawingDesk and a stylus. It doesn’t pick up any dots, hard to work with, and I couldn’t figure out how to change brush tips, which was extremely inconvenient. I’m not used to working digitally for most of these reasons, just another bad experience. Also the color wouldn’t add anytime I tried to mix a new color on the spectrum. Overall, hard to work with and I made no progress. Also, the only way to save your work is through photos, and because I didn’t want DrawingDesk accessing my photos, it automatically deleted my work after I’d worked hard on a sketch despite how difficult DrawingDesk was, and it still deleted it. Not good, also wouldn’t recommend using it with a stylus.

This is the worst drawing app ever!! Do not download DrawingDesk. There's always pop up ads and it's so annoying!! Also, one time I almost accidentally bought something just by pressing the x button!! The worst thing is that one time I tried to start drawing and I couldn't!! DrawingDesk is absolutely TERRIBLE. And for those little "effects" you should put a demonstration of the effect to make sure I'm choosing what I want for my painting/drawing. If you're looking for a digital drawing app that's better then this terrible app, try Autodesk Sketchbook (the effects are demonstrated). It's WAY better developed and there are a lot more features, effects, etc.

DrawingDesk is terrible, every time I save a picture I spent either hours on, or just a few minutes, it disappears forever. I absolutely cannot find out where all the saved images go within DrawingDesk . Second, it’s a bit hard to navigate. I wish it would save my colors and recently used brushes. Also when I click undo, it goes waaaay too far back and I have to restart on whatever I’m doing. Last, I get that it’s free but the pop ups that are trying to encourage me to buy pro, are really irritating. I’d like to not waste money on an app this poorly anyway. The things that your premium garbage feature, will not even begin to cover the amount of problems DrawingDesk causes. Thanks anyway ig

DrawingDesk was pretty good as far as relatively free drawing apps go! I used it every day just about, and I liked it so much that I payed the two or three dollars to have it add free.
The recent update has RUINED DrawingDesk. I will no longer use it. I don’t know what happened but I cannot later anymore, which was my main use for it. The drawing tool is awful. The fact that it saves your progress now was great— but bringing that in apparently compromised everything else good about DrawingDesk. Please fix the tools back how they were, I am sad that I can’t use DrawingDesk anymore and had to find another drawing app.

I like to create realistic versions of characters, but the “paintspray” option, or the only option there, don’t allow me to get a good picture.
I also find that whenever I try to change opacity or size, I have to click on the picture like ten time to get out and the undo button doesn’t get rid of it.
For the next update, please add an option to change the style of coloring and have an “x” in the corner of the boxes when you pull up the extras. And a cursor option so you don’t continuously have to use both fingers
Other than that I felt as if it was easy to use. I appreciate DrawingDesk as an output for ideas.

DrawingDesk kinda bumps me out, because I was looking forward to an app that is kinda like the ones that you tubers and the drawing apps you pay money for but, nothing I like. I try going to brush trying to draw eyebrows ( I was drawing anime ) and the brush didn’t work I put it to max and nothing came up. Resisted my iPad and everything nothing came up. Layers no layers, it’s just like sketchbook and all the apps I used and I can’t find SOMETHING that has layers and doesn’t cost money. 😞 😞 😞 😞 HELP I CANT DELETED TOOOO

Hello, I’m Goop. Your app is great, but the fact you have to pay money to use half of the tools is really stupid and pointless, Because the tools are kind of bad quality, Look at procreate 10$ is a good amount for it because it’s a amazing drawing app. But I would make your app free, without money. Then I think a lot more people would keep it then delete it right after they find out they have to pay money for a bad quality drawing app. I am not going to pay for some features for DrawingDesk, I’m finding a new free good quality drawing app. I am deleting DrawingDesk, Sorry developer.. 😕 I would get DrawingDesk back if you lower the prices a little... Please respond, Otherwise your app is pretty good but not as good as procreate, It’s a professional drawing app 😀 Sincerely, Goop.

I really love the game, but there’s a few things that I think would make it better and I know that other people are complaining about. First of all, make it easier to find the tool you first start off with, because I have the smooth paint brush, but then if I switch onto another brush and try to go back to it I can’t find it. Second of all another thing that I think would be better to add is A color Finder. I think this tool will be best so people don’t have to make a beautiful color but then have to figure out how to make it again and again if they lose it. Last but not least, I really love the way this is laid out but I think the last thing that will make it better is if you guys could at least have more color varieties so people don’t have to go making their own colors and they have a good variety of Colors already. This is all that I think would be good to add in the game but there’s a few other things that are kind of hard to explain but overall it’s a really fun app so keep doing what you’re doing and making these games that are super fun.

Ok so they didn’t have the tools so all I’m saying is. Add a saved album for like saved skin tones that you may make. And make hair and skin textures for me to do my art of people. That’s all I’m saying! Great game. Would highly recommend DrawingDesk for crafters like me and sketchers (like me again). So I rate this a four star game. If you add accessories for skin and hair I would totally use DrawingDesk! I recommend it for sure! It’s a really great way to express yourself. Also try to to a text feature. And a cursive or non-cursive writing speech tool people can use to make notes or love notes or anything. So over all this game is cool. But hard to make stuff. But the harder it is the better the drawings quality I guess! So yeah, please developers please add the tools to make the drawings more interesting.

So basically I just downloaded DrawingDesk and I love it already but you see I have some issues for you to hopefully to fix in DrawingDesk so 1, why do you show four different choices to color but you have to download them it just makes no sense to me and number 2, when you choose to color glow it glows but there’s white . Thank you for understanding

by Whyeid

I really like it but the only thing I don't like is all of the stickers except the basics you need to have premium access to them and when you go into DrawingDesk there is four apps and out of the four only two you can go into them without having to install even more.
And when you press like for example, the ruler in drawing desk, you can't take it away and you have to use that object.

by Chloe Cardagin

I was looking for an app to draw on but I couldn’t find one that fit my “needs”.
DrawingDesk has some good things in it but you have to get like 2 additional apps in the actual app. I would fix that, although I know people worked really hard on DrawingDesk. The other thing I would fix is in the “Drawing Desk” You have to buy stickers for 99 cents. Pretty disappointing. I would love to get a better drawing app or at least find out about one. Thank you for all the people for making this wonder app and hopefully finding all the better things and hopefully upgrade DrawingDesk .

The worst thing about DrawingDesk ( & all other in app purchase apps) is the constant interruptions of adds😖
I would much prefer to pay for DrawingDesk in its entirety and have no “in app purchases “, I feel it is deceiving most of the time. You never really know what your really getting.
Apps should have either standard or pro if it’s not offered in it’s entirety. People like simple & clean.
I do enjoy using DrawingDesk. One thing that would be nice is when you change tools like brush and eraser you could just tap once to make it faster to go back and forth. I would also like a pencil option not just a brush so your work looks Like a sketch. Choice of paper and a ruler would also be helpful.
All in all I think DrawingDesk is pretty good and it’s fun to use.

I had a school project where I had to do a digital drawing, however I had a MacBook Pro (not a touchscreen) and an iPhone 7s. Neither of these worked for drawing. Then I remembered I had an old iPad from so many years ago that I hadn't touched in over 2 years. So I got that, charged it and updated it only to realize it wouldn't update past iOS 9.3.5. None of the drawing apps accommodated this update except this one! I thought oh it's so old it may not work but it did, and really well at that!! Thank you so much for this!!

This sketchpad is super useful it gets you to trust your skills I recommend if you’re on a phone or tablet or iPad that you use a stylist it makes it much easier to draw it makes it feel like your drawing with a pencil but you are printing it on the form of technology you are using my favorite of the I want to say sections is the sketch so I recommend sketch out of all of them that’s my personal opinion but this is a five star worth app

by NaGwyn

This is a good app just that I wish that they would have a few more brush options like a blending tool or spray can or maybe the bucket to fill the canvas up but besides that I like DrawingDesk I use it a lot but I just don’t like apps that make me have to rate it to open up products and stuff I just want it were we can free will but still like a few stuff you need to buy/rate for cause you know they need money so yeah this is over all a good app that you should download

by JamieM813

This game is the best for making poster boards and art practice. There are also not to many adds, and when there is some, they are not long. My family and I travel a lot and I love art so much but I can not take art in the car but now that I have this game it makes traveling ten times better because I can do art in the car. I love this game oh my gosh this is amassing!🤗

by Balaxonic

DrawingDesk works really well. I made a drawing of a dragon and it looked good as far as the quality of DrawingDesk goes. It gives you color choices and different sized brushes to give your drawing texture. I’m sure there are better Drawing apps but most good quality drawing apps cost money, so if I were looking for a just-for-fun drawing app I’d recommend this one. So really good job for making DrawingDesk, it’s helped me with my boredom 👏🏻.

Overall if you’re looking for a just-for-fun drawing app then this game’s for you. I hope y’all have fun and draw really good drawings. =^-^=🥳😍🥰

by Joy Doodle Is The Best

I have seven reasons why I like DrawingDesk into reasons why I don’t like DrawingDesk is because you don’t get it well the first good reason why I like DrawingDesk is because you get to color the second reason is that you get to draw the third is I don’t know the fourth I don’t know the fifth I don’t know but can I get to the bad reasons the first reason why I don’t like DrawingDesk is because you barely even get to do anything in the second reason is that you barely do a single penny thing in DrawingDesk it’s barely even famous

by Foodnetlove

I was using DrawingDesk to draw a tshirt design. The tools available weren't the best but I was able to roundabout get what I need. As I finished changing the color on several different layers. I started noticing lines bleeding through where I had just painted and it was changing the color. Also, no eye dropper tool to reuse colors. Ads are annoying but I'm not wasting money on a low budget app. If you want to doodle or give kids a distraction, it wouldn't be the worst. But don't plan to reuse image for anything. Side note: you have to give a review in order to save more than 2 images.

by SpecialDrawer

DrawingDesk is horrible the stuff you see on the picture is just fake and was used with special stuff DrawingDesk is super slow and there’s too much adds and it never gave me an option to pay to remove adds I think you need special pens to even draw I drew with my finger and it was slow,not following what I did and it put 3 ads per second it’s not an online app but for some reason when you have no internet it say no internet and that reason is so you can’t draw peasefuly because they need ads plus there no stuff that needs to be online I hate DrawingDesk I am downloading a new drawing app

by Hdrhbcecbg

Ever sense the update the game crashes constantly and to the point where I can’t even play. Please fix this and also before the update there were pixelated lines all over my hard work all my details we ruined and I put like 30 minutes into it. Please patch this up I even have a pencil like thing that works on I-pad and I can’t find a better drawing app 4 free please fix this. Also I’m so sorry that I gave this 1 star if you fix these huge problems I will give DrawingDesk 5 stars I’m sorry again for 1 star.

by AJ12506

I wanted to start doing canvas and this was the perfect app to sketch out ideas on the go and save them for my iPad and could work on it in the car one of the best apps I already have fallen in love with DrawingDesk a better thing that you could add to DrawingDesk would be unlimited everything don’t make people pay for stamps and stickers

by Big Cat Speedy Rich

I love DrawingDesk because it is great for quick illustrations and backgrounds for my animated videos. The only thing that is having trouble during import is the camera feature. I still give DrawingDesk 5 stars for illustration purposes. I’d like to see the camera function work so I can just take a photo within DrawingDesk rather than searching through my galory for a new one.

by HelloItsFrez

So, this game is amazing but it's super hard to draw! I've tried this game before my dad made me something. Just today my dad made me a stylus and for those of you who don't know what a stylus is, it's a little pen, but for a phone. But I've gotten off track, LOL! So this game is so much easier with a stylus and I would recommend this game to anyone with a stylus!

by #feefood

I love DrawingDesk, it’s so fun. I use it to drawl Fashion clothing designs
And I love it. I would definitely suggest using A stylus, it really makes it easier to drawl. The only thing that I’m not a fan of is that you need wi-Fi, witch would be fine unless you want to use DrawingDesk somewhere that doesn’t have wi-Fi. But over all I love it

And you should definitely get DrawingDesk💛💛💛

by R.j.p Art

DrawingDesk is soooooo good it’s free and is really good for artists like myself. It does ask you to become a member at first but you can just say no, but the membership does give you more thing’s to do but even without it you can still still draw and color you’re drawings. Myself I LOVE DrawingDesk. I really hope this is helpful to whoever is reading this.
