Its usage is limitless.

Sketch Anywhere supports Samsung SPen, on a Galaxy Note or tablet with SPen, it uses all the pen input including pressure, tilt, and orientation. For devices without a pressure sensitive pen, it simulates pressure to give you a more natural pen stroke and you can adjust orientation and tilt parameters to suit your need.

You can move and resize the drawing window as you need, and minimize it to an icon to move it out of the way and later resume your drawing swiftly.
