Autodesk, Inc. has announced that the Autodesk SketchBook Mobile app is now available for use on Android devices. Autodesk SketchBook Mobile is a professional-grade digital paint and drawing app that offers a full set of sketching tools.
Autodesk SketchBook Mobile uses the same engine as Autodesk SketchBook Pro desktop software. A combination of digital pencils, pens, markers and airbrushes, as well as an artist-friendly, gesture-based user interface, helps enable users to capture their ideas as quick informal sketches or produce artwork on-the-go.
“The popularity of the SketchBook products has shown that people want to generate creative content on their mobile devices, not simply consume it,” says Samir Hanna, vice president of Consumer Products at Autodesk. “We’re excited to offer SketchBook Mobile to the millions of consumers around the world who rely on mobile devices running on the Android platform.”
The company also announced that it has chosen finalists in its digital art contest for users of the Autodesk SketchBook digital painting and drawing products. The winning submission will be featured on the splash screen of Autodesk SketchBook Mobile and will appear each time the application is launched. The finalists are Mahesh Gopalakrishna, Philipp Gruhn, Rubens LP, Laura Lukauskaite, Deborah McMillion, Luis Peso and Mathieu Reynès. Public voting on the finalists will be open until Dec. 14, 2010. Each person may vote only once. The winner will be announced on Dec. 21, 2010. To learn more about the contest, visit www.autodesk.com/sketchbookhero.
Autodesk SketchBook Mobile ($2.99) and a free Autodesk SketchBook Mobile Express app are available immediately for use on devices running Android 2.1 and above, and can be downloaded from Android Market. To learn more about the SketchBook Mobile and SketchBook Mobile Express apps, visit Autodesk.
