Sketch Touch Help

Quick answer

Sketch Touch is useful when you want a touch-friendly creative surface, local shared drawing, or a faster way to turn visual and audio prompts into a sketching session.

Local Collaboration

Use this when two devices are on the same local network and both have shared canvas features enabled.

1. Open Sketch Touch on both devices.
2. Make sure both devices are connected to the same local network.
3. Enable the shared canvas feature.
4. Join the same canvas session.
5. Start drawing and watch strokes appear in real time.

If devices cannot see each other, check the network type, firewall prompts, and whether both apps are allowed to communicate on the local network.

Troubleshooting order:

1. Make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi or local network.
2. Check whether Windows showed a firewall prompt and whether local network access was allowed.
3. Confirm that shared canvas mode is enabled on both devices.
4. Company, school, and public networks may block device discovery.

Inspiration Tools

Sketch Touch includes inspiration-oriented features from the original product idea:

• Electronic piano support for audio-driven creation.
• Daily image inspiration.
• Background music effects.
• A touch-first surface for quick visual exploration.

These are best used at the beginning of a session, before you know exactly what to draw.

A simple flow is: start with a daily image or background music, make a few quick marks, then decide whether to turn it into a complete work. Sketch Touch is strongest when it helps you enter the session.

Drawing Toolkit

The core drawing features include:

• Ballpoint pen, pencil, spray, highlighter, pen, and image brushes.
• Point eraser, stroke eraser, and soft transparent eraser.
• Infinite canvas and zoom for overview or detail work.
• Layers, layer backgrounds, background colors, move, merge, import, and export.
• Forward and reverse selection, erase selection, move or zoom selected strokes, copy strokes, and copy as image.
• Grid guide lines and perspective guide lines.

Files And Attachments

Sketch Touch can add related material to a work:

• Images.
• Text.
• Links.
• Notes and other attachments.
• PDF files.

It can also export albums as PDF files, which is useful when a creative session becomes something you want to keep or share.

FAQ

How is Sketch Touch different from Sketch Board?

Sketch Touch leans toward touch, inspiration, and local shared creation. Sketch Board is more focused on full whiteboard drawing, stroke editing, layers, import/export, and a larger help workflow.

Why can’t my devices connect?

The most common causes are different networks, firewall blocking, or a network that prevents device discovery. Test first on a home or trusted local network.

Should I add many PDFs and attachments?

You can, but many attachments make a work heavier. Treat Sketch Touch as a creative session and lightweight organization tool; keep large source material in folders when possible.
