Digital Text and Reflection

I read the following article for this assignment, and I was interested in learning more about Autodesk Sketchbook app, which can be used with Chromecast.  http://mashable.com/2014/10/11/5-apps-autodesk-sketchbook/

I am glad that I downloaded the app to my phone, and I played around with it for a while.  Here is a quick sketch that I drew of a basic, very simple floor plan.

I appreciate the usefulness of this app, and I like that it can be used with Chromecast, because then I can easily show what I am drawing to the class on the big screen.  Any of them that have the Chromecast version of the app, could also use it to draw images for the class to see from their seats, which might be a fun and interactive way to learn about design.  I did not feel that the app was very user-friendly, however.  It was difficult to write and draw with any accuracy with my big fat fingers, but if I could have had some sort of stylus, it would have been better.  It was also really hard to figure out how to draw straight lines, though I suspect there is a way to do it.  Also, I found it difficult to save and share my images, and it took me quite a while to figure out how to send myself the image I drew.

The image that was posted as an example of what I could draw in Sketchbook, was very detailed and colorful, so I have hope that I could do something better than my silly sketch.  I'll have to play around with it more and learn about all the tools, then see if I can come up with something more impressive.
