Do you like using software with a monthly/yearly subscription license? I'm still using Adobe Creative Suite 6, which is the last version before Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription. Unfortunately, the subscription license is here to stay. So I'm always looking for software that I can use in place of Adobe's software, which now costs $49/month for just on application.

Recently I've had a renewed interest in creating digital stamps and clipart for crafters. So I've been researching natural media painting software and decided to take another look at Autodesk's SketchBook Pro. I've been curious about SketchBook since the addition of the Copic Color Library and Copic Brushes. But what I liked the most was that the yearly subscription is only $29. The $29 is for the entire year and not just for one month. That's quite a savings from Adobe's yearly subscription of $599.

If you would like to check out SketchBook, here are some of my favorite blog articles on the Autodesk website.
