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.

It could be better I feel like it's lacking some features that would make it easier and more powerful to use. Maybe because I'm comparing it to something like Photoshop where I'm spoiled for choice, but it could use more tools to make it a larger learning experience for the younger demographic.

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

Distorted Art Sketchpad.io is very good in some aspects. I am in love with all of the features and all. However, the most terrible thing always happens. There is this glitch where you cannot change colors, so, of course, you refresh, which cures the glitch. However, after that, your sketch comes out distorted. I am very angered with the website because I was using it to draw a book cover for my publication, and it glitched right as I had made sure everything looked wonderful. I took a screenshot before I refreshed just in case, but it did not save. My picture is so distorted that now I have to redraw it.

Auto-save is unreliable Avoid using this for deadline-based projects! I was 6 hours into my final project this evening when I lost everything. :-( I don’t see anything in the documentation that worked to recover the work, so I’m left to start from scratch.
