I think I have a higher level style influencer in another house that can sketch impressions, but that was after they got high enough career level to get the free sketchpad.

My sim is at level 6 in her career and I'm having the same problem. The pie wheel only gives me the option to paint from reference or put in inventory/place in world.

there was a bug in the game before the December patch that broke the sketchpads like that. If you have a reset on them, they are broken afterwards.
Could you try selling your sketch pad and buying a new on one ?

@StilettoSims @crinrict - Sometime after I posted my pics of the sketchpad menu, my digitalistic sketchpad stopped working and went to the same issue that you're having - only the option to "Paint from Reference" or "Place In Inventory/World" was there. I don't know what made it happen, but buying a new sketchpad did solve it. I tested both selling the old one and keeping the old one in personal inventory & in household inventory. In all cases, the new sketchpad works properly and the "old" sketchpad stays bugged.
Crin - I don't know what you mean by "have a reset on them". I had another glitch on a different Sim, where that Sim was listed as "at work", but was home. However, I went back through the saves and was able to see that the sketchpad stopped working correctly before I "fixed" the at-work-when-at-home problem. I see someone has posted something similar on this problem, I will reply with those details in that thread.
I have base game and romantic garden installed, plus Grim's ghoulish guitar and the holiday celebration pack. No mods or custom content / never used. This glitch happened after updating to the Dec 20 hotfix, so if it was supposed to be fixed in the December patch, I am sorry to report that it seems to not have worked. Game version 1.48.94.1020
Crin - I have several game save files showing the before and after, if you'd like a link.
The game logged a last exception error when it apparently broke - text in the spoiler tag:
