Like most digital drawing software, Autodesk Sketchbook allows you to modulate and personalize tools and workspace. Each tool panel can be moved, activated or rendered invisible according to user needs, allowing to enlarge the workspace when necessary and to display only the tools you need.

We also appreciate the adjustable properties for each tool and in particular the pencils, brushes, brushes and airbrits whose user can configure opacity, density, the shape of the point, the bevel, and many others. He can also decide whether the layout is fixed or if he must follow a predictive curve, so as to draw a net and without trembling. Management of degrades and colors is also the subject of a lot of attention in Autodesk Sketchbook, thanks in particular to the chromatic circle and the COPIC colored library.

Illustrators can also use the different rules or measurement tools and management of rear-plans to perfect their graphic creation.
