I actually started making Sketch in about August last year, obviously I wasn't working on it constantly, but it did take quite a while to make. I found that paint was too basic for what I was wanting to do, it didn't support text, fill bucket, etc. NPaintPro was designed to fill this void, but I found that painful to use and it had a dynamic canvas, meaning that I'd have remove tons of space after I finished the image. So I tried to make Sketch as easy to use and as advanced as I could, and I'm quite happy with the end result.

Including in your OS
If you're wanting to use Sketch in your OS you're most welcome to, you don't need to ask. As long as you don't modify the code and keep the name I'm fine with it. If you do want to modify it for some reason (even for OS API integration) please PM me.
