Autodesk has launched the Autodesk SketchBook Ink for iPad paint and drawing app, the latest release from the companys SketchBook family. Powered by a brand new engine, Autodesk SketchBook Ink introduces unique technology for artists to create high-resolution ink-style artwork.
Unlike traditional vector drawing apps, SketchBook Ink enables users to produce very fine detail in their artwork, independent of resolution, building on the intuitive freehand-drawing Autodesk SketchBook Pro platform. This new technology also supports the ability to export and print large, high-quality images right from the iPad. Final artwork can be exported at optimal sizes to the photo library on iPad, email, Dropbox, or iTunes file sharing. Images exported to Dropbox or iTunes file sharing can exceed 100 megapixels.
The app's inking behavior gives it a distinct feel, but builds on the intuitive and familiar interface valued by SketchBook users. SketchBook Ink launches with seven preset ink styles and two types of erasers. The app supports importing images from the photo library on iPad that can be used as references or backgrounds.
