GBI 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.

GBAuto-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.

GBIt'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

GBDissapointed At first when I was searching for a digital platform to draw on I found sketch.io, I was THRILLED at first because everything was perfect and there weren't any issues. BUT over time (3 weeks) I began to notice problems, everytime I went to other tabs on my computer for drawing refences, and came back to sketchio It would crash. Sometimes it would crash on it's own, and when I tried to color in my drawings with the paint over feature the color would go away, I'm dissapointed with how this worked out honestly. I thought I found a useful platform but ig not.

AUI have (attempted) to use sketch.io for… I have (attempted) to use sketch.io for multiple assignments (I am a IX/ MGB major). However, Sketch.io consistently disappoints and frustrates me which often makes simple tasks unbearably painful, especially when considering its deign philosophy as an intuitive and simple program. Many times the 'grab' function fails which forces a perfect and hindsight focused perspective, though i could have been using the program incorrectly, the fact that I have been unable to find a solution (after many attempts) is a testament to the inadequacy of the program for simple functions (drawing). While I could continue to lament on the failures of this product, I can easily surmise with "mediocre".
