Sketchnest: Draw & Paint

Start with a pencil sketch. Build color in layers. Sketchnest brings brushes, color and the canvas together for drawing and painting on Android.

Sketch a quick idea, ink a study or return to a longer piece. Your work saves on your device. Export the finished image, keep the layers or share the process as a time-lapse.

Find your drawing materials
• 30 original brushes: pencils, inks, markers, oil, gouache, watercolor, airbrush, charcoal, chalk, blenders and erasers.
• Brush editor with pressure curves, texture, grain and wet-paint mixing.
• Pressure and tilt support for styluses such as S Pen, plus a stylus-only mode for resting your palm.

Build and refine
• Layers with opacity, 16 blend modes, alpha lock and clipping masks.
• QuickShape: draw and hold to snap lines, circles, ellipses, rectangles and polygons, then adjust them.
• Symmetry guides, steady-stroke stabilizer, fill, eyedropper, lasso selection and transform.
• Two-finger tap to undo, three-finger tap to redo, pinch to zoom and rotate.

Keep the work and the process
• Automatic saving and a gallery for all your drawings.
• Export PNG, JPG or layered PSD, or share straight to other apps.
• Time-lapse: every drawing records its progress, and you can export a 15–30 second MP4 replay to save or share.

Your device, your sketchbook
Pressure and tilt depend on your device and stylus. Large canvases and many layers need more memory; the app adjusts limits to your device.

No account. Your drawings stay in private storage on your device and are never uploaded to Birdlab. Sketchnest is free and shows ads in the gallery and after some exports — never while you draw. Ad data handling and your privacy choices are described in the privacy policy.

Artwork shown in the store images was created with AI and imported into Sketchnest. The screenshots show the actual app.
