Adobe Ideas is the perfect companion for artists on the go. If you like drawing quick sketches while commuting to work or sitting at a cafe, this iPad app is for you.

With Adobe Ideas you can quickly capture concepts and draw sketches of anything around you thanks to a set of drawing tools and color themes you can capture directly from photos stored on your iPad.

The drawing tools included in Adobe Ideas are pretty basic – namely brush, eraser and color palette – but combined with a powerful color selection and the excellent response of the iPad screen, you can easily create quite impressive drawings. We especially liked the ability to set a picture as the background layer, so you can use Adobe Ideas to draw over it. On the downside, configuring the brush in terms of size, opacity and color can be a bit confusing - it took us a while to figure out how to change color.

Adobe Ideas saves and organizes your sketches – ideas – automatically and also lets you share them by email as PDF, so you can import them into Illustrator or Photoshop for further editing later on.

Adobe Ideas is a powerful digital sketchbook you can take anywhere with you on your iPad.
