Concept artists, Tablet PC owners, and digital doodlers will find Alias Sketchbook Pro 2 to be a fast way to whip out drawings and annotate images. We do think the program is relatively expensive, its innovative interface notwithstanding. If you are looking to get started with digital drawing and want more bang for the buck, we recommend you try Pixarra's Twisted Brush.

Must have for tablet PC artist
Pros: It is as good as paper feel, Responsive, Never have to use your keyboard, Photoshop save to layers, Super easy and well designed user interface
Cons: No fill tool, No Texture Support, (Don't try to use it with a mouse)
Review:
This is by far the best feeling sketching tool that I have ever seen. You really have to try it to beleive it and you can download a free demo version that will work with limited fetures after your trial runs out so there is no reason not to. It is more targeted toward Tablet PC users then tablet users but it works amazing either way. It can truely eliminate paper from your workflow and the scanning that goes with it. It doesn't replace Photoshop by any means for tweaks but lets you save your picture with layers in PSD format. There is no Paint Bucket or Photo Retouching in the program but it's Pencil, Pen, Airbrush, Markers are amazing and I would rather use it for sketching then Painter any day. They really made some huge enhancements over the first version.
