SKETCH 360
Pah, 2D sketches are so last century! With this Microsoft Garage project, you can doodle your entire surroundings using a stylus (or a finger), wherever you happen to be. Guides stop your creations going wonky, and your work can be exported to JPEGs that can later be viewed as 360° photos on Facebook and Lightroom.

Pixaki is, providing an ideal canvas for working on your backgrounds and sprites. Terrified of that price? Try the free Pixaki 4 Intro first.
