Autodesk: Yes, there’s an app for that

On average, 6.6-million apps are downloaded from the Apple iTunes store every day.

That number may get a bump from designers, now that the Autodesk SketchBook Mobile is available for the iPhone and iTouch. Based on the paint engine that drive’s the full-blown SketchBook Pro, these portable versions—the there the free SketchBook Mobile X and the $2.99 SketchBook Mobile—that allow you to not only create back-of-the-napkin sketches, but even create usable art.

Upon hearing about the app at the annual IDSA conference last week, I immediately hit iTunes to download the free version and needless to say I was impressed. While the diminutive size of the iPhone screen provided some limitations in terms of developing detailed drawings for novice users like myself, several design professionals have already used the app to create some pretty cool stuff. What’s even better is that you can email copies of your ideas to friends and colleagues right from your iPhone.
