About a year ago I finally found a great digital sketchbook setup that I feel comfortable using: a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 and the Mischief drawing program. It is pressure sensitive with the included pen (which requires no charging) and the graphics program supports layers. The most unique thing about this program is that it […]
