The first frame is the most complicated frame I have had to draw to date, due to the fact Sketchbook Mobile limits me to a canvas size that matches my phone's resolution (720x1280) - meaning I had to draw all the elements individually and then put them together on my PC.

While there are apps for Android that allow for bigger canvas sizes these are generally a lot more primitive. Sketchbook is a great app (apart from not having an autosave feature or the ability to quick save, and a major bug with the flood fill that causes it to crash every time if a certain sequence of steps are performed) and I haven't found a better Android app to date. The closest so far is Infinite Painter, which does allow for bigger canvases, but the interface is confusing, the brush mechanics don't seem as good and it crashes all the time. It's frustrating, because there are a great selection of apps on iOS - Procreate for example - but so far there is no a killer drawing app on Android, despite the fact that Android has native stylus support and the Wacom enabled technology in the Galaxy Note products is much better for drawing with than resistive styluses - if only they had the software to exploit it.

As I have said before, what I really want is a Microsoft Surface Pro. But those are expensive so I'm going to have to save up for one!
