I recently purchased a Wacom Intuos4 tablet.
I am having trouble deciding which software application to download - Autodesk Sketchbook Express or Corel Painter Sketch Pad?
I've already decided on Photoshop Elements for photo editing, but I'm not sure which of the other two choices are best for drawing? I've read mixed reviews on both.
I don't digitally paint or any other such related things. I will be drawing and coloring cartoon-ish works. Which program would be best for me? :apple:
 
If you're ever thinking of also working on an ipad, go with the autodesk to lessen the learning curve.

IMHO, auotdesk seems to offer more control. Maybe it's just that their interface seems less, er, foofy.
 
If you're drawing cartoons, there's an app called pencil that seems great. I'm not an artist, but it's free to try anyway. I found it while searching for a good note taking app
 
I recently downloaded the demo for Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, love it and will buy it soon. I think it would be a good choice for drawing – you can rotate the canvas, zoom in and out and move the canvas just by pressing the space bar and moving the wacom pen. Very straightforward and easy to learn.
