4.7 out of 5
Would be better if could actually draw

Would like to give it a better rating but everytime I go to hit the sketch and stream button it freezes. I can do everything else but use the sketch feature which the whole reason I downloaded it. Please fix this.

:/

Why is there no setting where we can choose the highest quality for a live stream like in the desktop version? The quality in pixivSketch and in my Ipad browser is very bad. There used to be an option where you could make it full screen and high quality if you chose "Desktop Mode" on Safari and now that's gone too.

Crashing

When I tried to open pixivSketch it crashes i tried restarting and reinstall it doesn’t even work!

The new update drawing feature is hard to use

I have been using pixivSketch to draw for a while, but the sudden update of the drawing feature is so hard to adapt...I hope it would have been possible for us to choose using the new update version or not, it’s actually taking me longer to draw using the new feature...(sigh)

Crashing

I love Pixiv Sketch, but it keeps crashing whenever I try to remove the photo layer...

Would also appreciate if we could import more than one photo.

Can’t really draw on it

I wish to use pixivSketch but I find it hard to draw on. Are there any easier methods to draw on?

TBH..

this is like honestly an ok drawing program as simple as it may be, the brushes all feel nice to use, the blurring system is ok, it has every layer setting you could want and you have the option to enable “motivators” which are literally just random people speaking in japanese as you draw, very fun👍 there’s also like a built in art sharing part of it which isn’t of much use to us english speakers since the user base is mostly japanese - twould be nice if there was some kinda translation option or at least furigana on posts

Beautiful in it’s simplicity

I love pixivSketch because it’s straightforward, simple and gets the job done. Since it’s made for artists it fits our needs. It also presents the art gallery in chronological order which is surprisingly hard to find. I do have some suggestions though:

A month by month history section like the one Tumblr has so you can look back at old art without a lot of scrolling.

Better image quality. When I post an image it goes down a bit in quality which can ruin the piece.

Better censorship. Even though NSFW works must be age restricted a lot of them aren’t, it’s a common issue.

Options for image editing like a pen, lasso tool, stickers, etc.

Would appreciate English subtitles

I love and use pixivSketch almost daily, but the majority of Pixiv Sketch is Japanese speaking and I cannot understand what is written in posts or Sensei’s daily challenges. This makes it a bit difficult to talk to other users or participate in Sensei’s challenges. Otherwise pixivSketch is great and I’m happy to be able to post artwork and see others artworks from around the world! :-)

Simple but fun

I tried so many apps like this one but I never had the encouragement button. It helps when you’ve been stuck and feel that your drawing might not be up to par with what pixiv wants. As long as you are not offending anyone you are able to use pixiv and their sketch app. Thank you development team for making this button for the artist impaired and the ones who are just starting out. The layers I didn’t try but is it limited or not? If it is unlimited I need to use it more. Have fun making great masterpieces and keep up the good work everyone!

Omg join this community it’s amazing

It’s amazing I love creating art on here! It’s an amazing app

Good

I wish it had an English version other then that it good

Artist focused social app

I always feel safe using pixivSketch and happy to share my art.

Great practice.

I’m a college graphic designer and this is a great app for posting quick sketches whether you are finished or not and if they are good enough I post them on my patreon - ZRAIARZ
