7 iPad Apps Every Artist Needs (that are not drawing apps) 

Get Your Paperlike here: paperlike.com/BC11 And don't forget their free procreate brushes: paperlike.com/dynamic-environment-brush-set

I think you forgot to mention an important feature of Vizref, you can also import a .GIF and see it frame by frame for still references from animations! (I don't see any other app do that so I think it was important to just point it out) :D

If you are reading this, I wish you all become successful, can't wait to see the success of you all

Coolers cost money so I recommend an app called pigments wich is litterly the same. And it's free. EDIT:sorry everyone i dont think it on apple :( but im sure there are lots of other free ones you can find!:)

You and I have different perspectives about the word “need”.

Vizref has honestly been a lifesaver and helps to keep my regular photo albums from being cluttered. Now I just hoard all my references and inspiration pics in the Vizref folders :')

One thing I found to be a sorta helpful tip for color palettes is: head on down to the home depot paint dept, pick up the paint combination booklets ( I have all of them), scan them and use them as color pallettes. Sometimes I boost the saturation but for color combo visualizing, it's feels like window shopping versus struggling brain torture. ;-)

I've had my iPad for a few months. Love seeing your recommendations.

Really enjoying this more professional yet casual approach to your videos recently, keeps it informative and very approachable. Keep it up Brad 👍

I’m so glad people like you are willing to put in the time and help out people looking to improve their abilities to make art

Thanks Brad! Ive been using my ipadpro for almost 2 weeks and there’s a lot of apps to think about! This is helpful!

Interior Design app for creating interiors. Especially nice if you’re drawing comics and want to draw different views of the same room in different panels.

Thank you so much! I'm planning on buying an ipad. This is really helpful!

Thank you for these! I've downloaded a couple of them and I'm excited to speed up my workflow!

It's not an ipad app, but I use a VR program called gravity sketch to pose and light mannequins quickly, they can be life size and I can move around to make sure the pose looks natural. When you find the best angle you use the camera tool choose how wide angle and snap some shots like a real camera.

Just wanted to say that vizref was the app i didn’t know I needed 😂 downloaded right after your video hahaha thanks!

The ref organization... WHAT A LIFE SAVER OMG 😂 I never thought to use that at all. Thanks for this video, life just got easier. I'm still a new IPad and Apple user

This is the exact video I needed. Thanks!!

Found your channel searching for a new tablet for the holidays. This is great content! Love your channel. Stay safe.

Nice, I never heard all of this app, im definitely gonna install that manikin app to my ipad mini

Downloaded the VizRef app immediately. Such a life saver! Thank you for this video!

Thanks Brad. You make my life so much more easier. Your videos never disappoint.

Just ordered the 11" 2020 ipad pro, wont get it till next monday but these videos help me with what i need for digital art.

Definitely downloading vizref👍🏼 thank you💕

Thank you for this! 💖

Even though I don't use an Ipad I did find some of these programs to be useful. Thanks, man!

Omg loved your recommendations, I downloaded them all

that Manikin app looks pretty cool. downloading that. Pinterest has a pretty decent iPad app, if you are looking for inspiration. It has some issues: it is almost impossible to follow individual pinners, and it is chock full of ads. But it is great for just flipping through and tucking images into your personal boards

this was incredibly useful thanks

This is such a fabulous guide. Short and sweet!

The cooler app is perfect for my needs. Thank you for posting.

Great video as always brad!

wow cooler would really help with branding great tips! I'm starting out in art so this def help 🙂 Also for sketch ar I think it will be good for making your own mock up These are really really helpful oh lord

The Dave2D of the art world

Honestly the apps are great but the explanation in how you used them for your creative workflow was very good advice 👌🏾

i just got an iPad a few days ago, perfect timing!

Oooo definitely gonna buy Vizref, I need that :')

Please make a version of this for Android tablets too!

My man Brad, always happy to get a video,

Never heard of Cooler or Manikin before. This was an extra helpful video post. Thanks Brad.

"Coolers" has the same amount of Os as "color" tho.

I can't wait to have my Ipad pro and try manekin for body references, thanks for the share

For those who can't find "Board" it's actually called Morpholio Board.

This helps, thanks 🙏

Exactly what I needed

The Cooler mention was spiritually satisfying Everything else also helped a ton so thx

Brad,just a little news.Manikin for android is already in android.It's coming soon!

Love your content Brad.

Great vid. Love vizref for inspiration and reference.

Great content! Thanks for such videos.

I actually use manikin and it’s so useful!! I’ll check the others too. Thanks.

Hi brad ty for the help

Thank you mr.Colbow, very informative video

Huge inspo here, thanks Brad!

This was actually so helpful! Thanks for posting cowboy🤠

Interesting, I will download these app. Thank you🎈

There's this app called "Handy", is a reference tool with 3D models of skulls, hands, etc. Its a bit abandoned by the devs, but is still a very good tool.

Ive been looking for an app that works like pureref on ipad i didnt know vizref existed. Thanks brad!

Very helpful. I haven't got an I pad yet, but will definitely get a couple of these. Am worrying if I get an iPad that I won't have loose drawings anymore. Used to working on newsprint with big arm strokes.

I don't want to draw on paper "spend dollars to buy an ipad" The screen is so glossy It sud feel like paper "spend more dollars on paperlike"

Also there's a new app in production called Artfol! I think it has a ton of potential. I recommend it for all the artists out there getting screwed by terrible algorithm

Thank you 😊 be safe, be happy 😊

I love watching your videos, they are really helpful to me, and I learn alot of things. Can you make a video on "how to create glowing effects on medibang paint pro software"

Manikin and board are my takeaways here😋 Thanq so much.

Thank you so much…very useful 🙏🙏🙏

Super helpful video, thanks!

I found an app that had no downloads so was weary but it's pretty good for converting images like PNG to a video format including Gifs,MP4 and APNGs also maintains the transparency. It's called APNG Toaster. There's a Gif version but not sure it's needed if you get this. I mention this because a lot of animation apps output PNG sequences.

I love Behance so much!! I always use them for inspo:) But pinterest is also a very great app for artists, there's just so many things in pinterest!!! I recommend pinterest for other artists🥰

I am a new artist and my parents are going to get me an iPad Pro for me to draw on so I need some of these apps thank you so much four making this video it is helped me and many other new or old artists

Pls doo programs, been watching for ur vid for a couple of days now and yr content really great

Perfect 👍 thanku for this video

Beside the must have procreate, the go to one's are, ArtStation, magic poser, anatomy 3D, this lay one is medical reference but man oh man, being able to see skeleton and muscles in layers from any angle helps a ton.

Thank you for taking all my storage in exeange for these apps

Amazing video!

I highly recommend are.na (yes with the dot) for inspiration and dedicated pannels.

Great thanks

I like the way you explain it. My English is low, but I’m understanding what You saying 90 %.

magicposer is a good one too, it's avialable for android too

Love this video, love that guy. Downloaded manikin directly, hee hee

Is there a pantone pallette on Cooler?

Really good tipps, thanks👍🏻👍🏻 ...the manikin!!😍🌞😅

I just want to ask if you know how to map the galaxy tab s6 pen to do undo on any drawing app

i am new to digital design, I am back to school after many years but i wanted to ask what should i go with ? iPad 7th gen and same my self lots of money OR just bite the bullet and get the iPad pro?

Terrific video

a good free alternative to coolers is called pigments and you can set how it randomizes colours in settings

These apps are really cool

Hi at 3:47 what app is that where the drawing popped into 3D?

Thank you so much for putting out this content you have inspired me alot to create my own channel thanks🥰

Wow Vizref looks very helpful

What was that app in the intro that was measuring your shelf

Hey, I tried to find the “Board” app and couldn’t. Could you please share the link?

Manikin and Board. Thanks for introducing those.

Hello Could you make the same video for android please (I know it's hard to see impossible but I try anyway) Thank you for your videos !!

Loved some of these recommendations! Skipped over paperlike since it's not technically an "app" (sponsor?) and anything requiring a subscription

That reviewed app, "Coolers" actually has just as many 'O's as "colors." :) Not more. This is a slick sponsored video! I like that paper-thing. Good presentation!

I really like your vidoes thanks.

WhatTheFont is another must-have app.

Can you make another for the playstore marketplace? Visref for instance isnt available. Thanks and great videos

really useful video :D It would be great to see one of windows programs as well :D (surface user )

I'm a bit late here but I have a few comments that might help people who see this later on. 1. If you already have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription you can use Adobe Capture to make palettes and much more, textures, detect what a font is (and see if the Adobe library has it or something similar), patterns. And all of this is saved into the library you access on all devices. 2. I personally don't like Paperlike that much. It's better than nothing but I wish I remembered what screen protector I had on my previous iPad as it had more tooth and suited me better. Not to mention that the new Pencil doesn't suit me either I find the sensation is not as good as the first Pencil, I miss that spring in the tip that gave me more control. 3. I keep forgetting about it, but for more fantasy orientated illustrations, Hero Forge is actually pretty cool to reflect on poses for all sorts of creatures. Same as you say with the chair thing, I can draw all kinds of poses, but I will default to the same ones so this give me more ideas, and you can change the clothes and props too.
