Sketch Club review
A layer-rich iPhone and iPad drawing app with stylus curves and PSD export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sketch Club is a paid drawing and painting app for iPhone and iPad, aimed at artists who want raster and vector workflows on Apple devices. Its toolset covers brushes, blur, eraser, fill, pen, pixel, procedural, selection, smudge, text and vector work. Apple Pencil and several Bluetooth styluses can use pressure, tilt and other input curves, while community challenges, tutorials, live streams and collaborative whiteboards add learning and sharing around the canvas.
The App Store listing shows a US price of $2.99 for the Sketch Club plan. That single plan includes drawing and painting tools, hundreds of configurable layers, layer blending, naming and color tagging, plus layer filters and transforms such as perspective and tiling. Canvas recording exports 1080p video, and files can be exported as PSD, PNG, JPG, animated GIF or SketchClub format. For artists moving between illustration, animation snippets and layered editing, the export choices and layer controls are the main reasons to consider it.
Sketch Club fits an Apple-centered workflow through iCloud backup, AirDrop, Dropbox, email, YouTube and AirPrint. The app supports iPhone and iPad, but its listed deployment is mobile and iOS, so artists who need Android, desktop or cross-platform deployment should choose another tool. Support is delivered through documentation rather than a broader set of listed channels. Pick Sketch Club if you want a paid, layer-focused mobile studio with stylus controls, recording and community features; look elsewhere if platform breadth or a free entry tier is a priority.
