Sketcher为位图编辑软件Dabbler的前身，最早的“自然媒介”电脑绘图软件之一，由Fractal Design为苹果机开发。该软件可模拟粉笔、蜡笔、铅笔和刷子的绘画风格，其价格比Painter要便宜得多。

Fractal Design后来转而开发添加了色彩支持的Dabbler软件，Sketcher也因此停止开发。

Sketcher was one of the earliest "natural media" raster graphics software applications. It was released in the early 1990s by Fractal Design for the Apple Macintosh.

This software simulated the behavior of various types of paper and art materials such as chalk, pastels, pencils and brushes. Even though color Macintoshes existed at the time, it ran in grayscale. A rationale for this may be that, while color support existed in the computer, large grayscale monitors were considerably less expensive than color ones, with color sometimes costing three times as much for an equivalent size display. Likewise, Sketcher sold for a lower price than Painter ($99 vs. $299)
