Sketch - Draw & Paint

From Quick Snap to Digital Masterpiece: The Full Creative Workflow in One App

Imagine you’re out with friends, you snap a spontaneous photo, and within seconds you’re adding a curly mustache, a top hat, and a pair of oversized sunglasses. Or maybe you’re sitting on the train, and you want to sketch a cityscape from scratch, layering colors with your fingertip. That’s exactly the flexibility Sketch - Draw & Paint offers. Developed by Sony Mobile Communications, this isn’t just a photo filter app—it’s a complete digital art studio that lets you start from any point: a live camera shot, an existing image from your gallery, or a blank canvas. The app gives you three distinct entry points, and each path opens up a different set of creative tools designed for both quick edits and deep, long-form artwork.

Three Ways to Start, Infinite Ways to Create

The core strength of Sketch - Draw & Paint lies in its flexible workflow. You are not forced into a single mode. Instead, the app adapts to how you want to work right now. If you need a fast, fun edit, you can capture a photo directly inside the app and immediately apply stickers or drawing layers. If you prefer to work from your library, you can import any image stored on your device. And if you want complete artistic freedom, you can start with a pure white canvas and build your composition pixel by pixel.

• Live Camera Capture & Edit Mode – Take a photo directly within the app and instantly access the full editing suite without leaving the interface.
• Gallery Import with Layer Support – Load any JPEG or PNG from your device and apply drawings, text, and stickers on top of the original image without destroying the background.
• Blank Canvas for Freehand Drawing – Start with a clean slate and use your finger as a brush, with access to multiple brush sizes, opacity levels, and color palettes for detailed illustration work.

Stickers, Tools, and a Growing Library of Fun Elements

When you choose to edit a photo, the sticker insertion tool becomes your best friend. The app ships with over twenty default stickers, including classic props like fake mustaches, beards, hats, and sunglasses. But the fun doesn’t stop there. You can download additional sticker packs directly from within the app, expanding your collection to include seasonal themes, animal ears, speech bubbles, and decorative frames. Each sticker can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the canvas. The drawing tools are equally robust: you get a pencil, a marker, a paintbrush, and an eraser, each with adjustable thickness and transparency. For precision work, you can zoom in to the pixel level, and for broad strokes, you can use the entire screen as your palette.

Portfolio Management: Never Lose a Masterpiece

Once you finish a piece—whether it’s a heavily edited selfie or a full digital painting—the app automatically saves it to your personal portfolio. This built-in gallery stores every project you create, organized by date. You can scroll back through weeks of work, compare your progress, and reopen any project for further editing. The portfolio is not just a storage folder; it’s a visual history of your creative evolution. You can also export finished images to your device’s main photo library, share them directly to social media, or set them as your wallpaper. The entire workflow is designed to keep you inside the creative loop, minimizing the friction between idea and output.
