I love using sketch.io as a mood board to see what fabric combinations to use to make one garment. It's amazing I can have many folders and that it is FREE. I would love it if I could use free hand drawing tool to cut things out etc. If there is a bit more functionality, i'd happily pay to use it. But even in it's current form it's very useful for me. I was using Milanote but ran out of space.

It's just fun and easy to use
It's just fun and easy to use. IDK why people are hating this website because something apparently dosn't work. Layers work completely fine vector fill works MOST of the time and overall it just works. It does have a little bit of a learning curve though and it does break if you use it offline but runs really well. Probably not for mobile though, I use a school loaned chromebook anyways so it does seem to struggle when running on 16k but idk who would want that in the first place. I recommend being online, using at least a chromebook, make sure your on the most current version of the app/website and run at max 12k.
-Tip when using the path brush you can unmirror the handles by deleting one of the handles and pressing Ctrl z
-Tip DON'T click with 2 fingers on a handle it will delete the path you made and you can't get it back.
-Tip the shortcut for layers is "cltr [" for going back and "cltr ]" for going forward

I get it's free, but... it's very bad.
I get that this thing is free, and I realize I shouldn't expect top notch performance from it, but this thing was just so bad. I mean, I would try to change colors, and mind you I had nothing selected, but random parts of my art would change to that color. Not only that, but little bits would just disappear if I closed out the tab then opened it again. On top of that, the fill tool doesn't look very good, as you'd have to do touch ups around the edges, kind of defeats the purpose if you ask me. Then I had to go on a side quest to import reference photos. After that, I had the issue of duplicate objects being automatically grouped together and when I tried to ungroup them, guess what? More problems! Parts would be transported to different parts of the canvas, some even off it, and if that didn't happen the whole drawing would get moved. Overall, this site is absolutely trash, I don't recommend it, not even for just messing around.

Site crashed
Site crashed. Hope they either fix the website or just delete it. Use Canva or another program if possible.

Sketch pad sucks
I cannot believe that everything went right at first. I created a beautiful space scene and then when I tried to make a cupcake the freaking thing wouldn't do anything! The undo button never worked and The fill filled itself up to name a few. If I were you, I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use this stupid scam of an app. Not sorry to the 5 year old people who made this either. Get your act together!

THE WORST DRAWING PROGRAM EVER
I really dislike this program. The eraser is difficult to find and personally it would only allow you to select every other tool. Layers were not available and multiple times I made a mark by mistake and couldn't undo it. The bucket tool covered my line art and I was absolutely miserable the whole time I was drawing. Long story short, don't use this program!

I used to use this on a computer
I used to use this on a computer, but I definitely don't recommend this if you're on a mobile device. If you're on mobile, the layout will be confusing and there WILL be dots on your screen if you zoom in and out. Adding onto that, you may notice that the scroll wheel to get to the eraser is quite useless as it doesn't work properly on a tablet or a phone.
If you want to make layers on the program (on a computer), just select all of the lining and press the "flatten" option to create a "layer", and you can use the "forward" and "backward" layering options to color.
Great for beginners, but if you want to do digital art as a hobby or if you want to have a better layout, I'd recommend Firealpaca, IbisPaintX, Medibang Paint, and if you want a simple vector program I'd recommend Photoshop.
The program has many bugs in it, and I think it would be great if the program would be more compatible with mobile devices.
