As it stands, in the Android version, you can choose from Sans-Normal, Sans-Bold, Serif-Normal, Serif-Bold, Serif-Italic, and Serif-Bold-Italic. I would like to see an option to load a custom font from file. I make a lot of my own fonts and would like to be able to use them in my projects. Currently, I've been hand lettering all my text but feature like this would save me hours of work.

I do not understand why the Autodesk Sketchbook creators have not fixed this. People have been begging and pleading to get a feature to import brushes onto mobile. Since 2015. Who has fixed this? No one, I do not understand why no one cares for their consumers and does not even try to reach out and give out news as to possibly adding an import feature. Fix This! We have been waiting too long! It is now 2019!

I use Sketchbook and Photoshop primarily for automotive design. An easy way to see if your sketch looks good is to simply flip the image horizontally. If something is off, you will notice it. Both Photoshop and Sketchbook have this simple feature, but Photoshop let's you create a keyboard shortcut for it. This is very useful since I can assign that shortcut to a button on my Cintiq and with one click I can flip my image back and forth instantly. Sketchbook gives you the ability to create or change keyboard shortcuts as well, but for some reason they don't include Mirror Canvas. The only way to do it is manually. After a while it gets inconvenient having to always go up to the top of my screen to manually click on the menu bar in order to find Mirror Canvas. I can't imagine this simple addition would be terribly difficult, so if you can, please make a keyboard shortcut for Mirror Canvas... or at least give us the option to assign a shortcut ourselves through Preferences. Thanks.

It would be great to avoid unintentionally drawing while working with the pen in Sketchbook with the Windows 10 App on a MS Surface device, if there would be a "palm rejection mode". Actually, it is only possible to completely turn off touch screen. With the touch screen off, I lose the ability to pan and zoom on the sketch.

I've been looking into starting animation for a while now, and, as a long time user of Windows 10 Sketchbook, was happy to see that your Desktop Edition had a Flipbook tool. However, after playing around with the Desktop Edition on several different projects, I found it worked much too differently and much less smoothly from Windows 10 for me to actually get anything decent done. I think if you were to add the Flipbook/Animation ability to Windows 10 edition, it would make the program even better than it already is and entice more new users to try it out!

I think it would be really great if one of the options after making a selection was a "shift to new layer" function. I think that this would make a lot of peoples' work flows easier and faster. Id be willing to pay extra for this feature alone. Thank you for your consideration

I know it's kind of segmented. But I've been waiting for a feature that can make the s-pen button as eraser (erase when s-pen is pressed). And return the old Sketchbook feature (when was still called Sketchbook Pro) where we press the s-pen button anywhere then the radial menu will appear.

This is mostly about the Windows application. It seems that development has slowed to a crawl. I would gladly pay if this app could match parity with whats offered from Procreate on Ipad OS. I'm not looking for this to be bloated like PhotoShop or Clip Studio.. just more refinement. People have been asking for a pen mode for ages on the Desktop version, more features for the Win10 version that match desktop and mobile, Arm 64 support, layer masks... etc .

The space outside of the canvas is just dead space that cant be used. It would be great if I could place my reference images there or even reusable blocks of the drawing outside of the canvas so I can see them and access them, but they are on my canvas in my way. Which is what I currently have. I constantly have to move the photo references around the screen so I can draw in the right place. Or make the canvas much larger than my final version and limit my drawing space to defined sizes with my reference material to the edges of the canvas. Then crop the canvas when the drawing is done. And then I loose all my reference info and cant use it in future jobs. And all that dead space just sitting there to the side. Empty. Please allow us to use that dead space for a useful purpose. look at all that dead space I cant use

Since many of my sketches want to be done on grid paper, it would be great to have an adjustable grid as an addition to the ruler tool. Actually it is only possible to add an image with a grid and set a lower transparency value of the layer.

Please add the functionality to erase using the S-Pen button in your Android app. This works on the Samsung Galaxy Book on Windows 10, so it should be able to be enabled on Android for the Galaxy Note series of phones as well. Missing this feature makes your app so hard to use! Thanks in advance!

I'd like te pen only mode of the Windows 10 app is being introduced to the desktop version of Sketchbook. It will eliminate all the unwanted stripes from my hand when drawing with te pencil.

Would be great being able to start a drawing from a PDF file like we do now from images files. Or import a PDF into a drawing as a reference.

I think we should have an audio layer in the flipbook bit of sketchbook. It would be cool Audio for dialog and animation It would be cool We can bathe in success from a successful animation success It would be cool

Currently, you can only rotate a brush with Stylus TILT (or Rotate to Stroke). It would be great to add stylus ROTATION to the list of things that can rotate the brush. This feature is currently supported in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Corel Painter. to name a few applications. See https://us-store.wacom.com/Catalog/Accessories/Pens/art-pen#/undefined1 All the best, Dave

The eraser on a Wacom/Surface/Etc. pen should default to the last used eraser. Or, at the least, be configurable to something other than the default 'hard' eraser. I use a lot of custom brushes, none of the default palette, and this omission means I can never use my pen eraser.

I have the same problem as reported in 10/18. Time lapse is really a killer feature! It would be really great if you could implement this in windows too! Is there any news yet? KR Nadja

THE WORST THING AUTODESK EVER DID WAS TO DISCONTINUE SKETCHBOOK DESIGNER. I purchased the whole product design suite 2014 to get Sketchbook Designer and then it was discontinued but it is still the best 2d software on the market. Please bring back vector layers and tools to Sketchbook, it would be better and more user friendly than anything else. Even though it crashes regularly I still prefer it to Photoshop, but I worry that I will not be able to use it one day when it is not supported by operating systems etc.

1. We need more layers. It is severely limiting to have so few layers. 2. Remove 1000 frame cap 3. Turn off/Turn on all of a layer at once. 4. More frame rate export choices
