    Could anybody recommend the best types of sketching/designing/painting apps to create anything from cartoons to realistic portraits. Free or paid.

    Also wondering about the best stylus to use with the iPad.

    I heard good things about Autodesk's SketchBook.

    I've looked at that on the app store it looks pretty good looking for people's opinions of which app is the best.

    I looked at brushes and sketchbook but decided to go with sketchbook because it looked like it had more tools. No regrets, although I also bought Inkpad which is a vector based app (a bit like illustrator).

    Whichever one you go for, I'd highly recommend buying a stylus as working with your finger is a bit limited IMHO. I went for a boxwave, which seems ok. You have to get used to drawing with it without the rest of your hand touching the screen which is a bit weird at first.

    I was a bit skeptical of what could be done with a 1024 x 768 workspace but it's not too bad.....I'd like to see a drawing app offer a bigger canvass though, since the iPad2 could cope with it.

    You could try Photoshop Express, Adobe Ideas or Brushes, as far as I know, they are quite good. It depends on what type of sketching you would like to do, I think there are some other apps as well, but not sure.

    I bought sketchbook and it works well with plenty of tools to use, im still un sure of which stylus to buy at the moment but I think there is a griffin one which is supposed to be good. Adobe Ideas is really simple but sketching works well on it.
