As a professional illustrator that has worked with clients like Cartoon Network, Nike, Google, and countless others-I do the majority of my work in Adobe Fresco. Want to know why I prefer it over the seemingly more popular iPad drawing app, Procreate? If so, this is the video for you.
Cliff notes: Adobe Fresco incorporates Vector and Raster workflows, it has AMAZING and easy to use motion features far beyond what you can do in Procreate (and in some ways Procreate Dreams) + the Creative Cloud integration makes my workflow with client projects so simple.
There's a bunch of other stuff too, like multicolor swatches, live brushes, auto-color palettes and perspective grids and MORE.

I use both Procreate and Fresco. It's a bit of an awkward workflow, but I like the quickness of Procreate for sketches. It's easy to just pull up a canvas and sketch out an idea in Procreate. I'm probably just more used to the layout, but the interface is really easy to use for drawing. I'll then save the file as a pdf and send it to Fresco where I'll use Vector brushes to ink it. When I want to do my best line work though I use Clip Studio Paint. Its brush engine is just superior to any other program I've used. For commercial stuff I always finish it in CSP, and if it needs to be vectorized, I'll do an image trace of my line work.

@GodisGood941 4 месяца назад

So would you say that its impossible to get the same level of quality in procreate vs csp or fresco?

@zendragon6 4 месяца назад

@@GodisGood941 not at all. I think they each have their advantages. I like the modifier tool in Fresco. It makes a lot of sense, especially for Vector work. I like CSP's brush engine the best. It feels the most natural to how I draw and ink. But I primarily do graphic style ink work. For painterly work, I haven't really explored the differences between the three of them to make a judgement. But Procreate is by far the easiest "get out of your way and just draw/paint" interface between the three of them. I will say, the layers limitation can be annoying, where CSP handles many more layers without issue. For a very large piece for print, CSP or Fresco are going to be much better due to the lesser limitations and the ability to scale vectors.

The "live" water and oil brush systems in Fresco are _amazing_ in my opinion. I haven't used Corel Painter in many years, it may have gotten really good in recent times, but man.. The water colour in Fresco is insane. After some practice you can really push those pigments around in a way that feels very natural.

Yep, gotta agree on the smoothing bit. I tried recreating a handwritten logo sketch in Procreate and spent upwards of half an hour trying to get the brush dynamics to give me the same flow that Fresco's vector brush with tapering on both sides has. They seem to have smoothing locked in better whereas Procreate gives almost too much customization which makes it harder to get right.

I saw the title and was like "nope not switching, I love procreate, I have brushes, I know what I'm doing" but I also keep an open mind because my current workflow is TRASH. I end up using 5 or 6 apps. VectorizeAI is better than auto trace, Affinity Designer is better for live pattern editing, sketching is better in Procreate. Illustrator is great but I prefer working on an iPad that sitting at a computer desk. So I tried Fresco I love the vector drawing and ability to trim and send files to Illustrator I may have to switch.

@omnirhythm 13 дней назад

Unrelated but Vector Magic is the absolute king of auto-trace. It has a hefty pricetag though and if you're only using it to vectorize your art, may as well go with Fresco. Designer sure is a beautiful software for some things, I really love their efforts though it's obviously not yet there, having a much smaller team than AI's (pun intended seeing the new shennanigans Adobe is pulling with their Terms of Service.. ugh). Brand loyalty should not be a thing, or at least be rational. Use what you end up liking most, and have most fun with

I understand your point and i guess you are right. Especially for Professionals like you. I think for the most people works Procreate still well. Its easy to learn and maybe better for beginners. The most features you speak about are not that important for people who want to draw from time to time.

@chris-piascik 4 месяца назад

That’s reasonable!

I dip into Fresco every month or so when I need to do vector illustration or want to do animation on motion path etc and pleasantly surprised to see certain basic features added in. Today i noticed you can actually do skew transforms now

I never used Procreate until recently beccause I just got an iPad 10th gen, last one was 1st gen iPad Mini. But these days I used Photoshop for sketch and Illustrator to clean up, then used Clip Pro Paint for the razter and vector combination and now I learning Freco can do this too, it could speed up my productive.

Thanks, I have creative cloud so you’ve convinced me to give it a whirl. I like the simplicity of procreate but the auto off-canvas cropping kills my workflow so I’ve been searching for an alternative. What’s your strategy for utilizing creative cloud storage for syncing across devices? I find the cloud space with only 100gb limiting and a bit cumbersome to manage. Do you just keep current projects in the adobe cloud and move to local when complete?

@chris-piascik 4 месяца назад

Yeah I’ve always been in the habit of archiving my client work when it’s done, and I use Dropbox so I’ve never run into an issue with the cloud space from Adobe.

Hey! just saw your video in my feed and glad I clicked. I was thinking on going back to ipad for my sketching. I've been using pen displays with photoshop for several years, but I really miss the quick shape features on procreate. Does fresco have this? I see you mentioned in the video that it does, but can't find any info on these. Thank you!

@chris-piascik 5 месяцев назад

Oh cool thanks! Fresco does have the quick shapes and snapping lines.

@stacyforbes6139 5 месяцев назад

I have a ton of Fresco content on this channel, there’s a playlist in the description to get you started.

I couldn't live without vector! I have always wished that Photoshop and Illustrator were in the same program, this looks great so that you can use both raster and vector in one program. Thanks for a great overview!

Watched this video after the first procreate v fresco and was immediately blown away by the upgrade in recording quality. The background suits you and all your jokes and animations landed perfectly on me 😂 you got my sub from this one alone. p.s. there was a LOT of good info from the previous breakdown video.

@Raul-ox3kj 4 месяца назад

I'm going to try Fresco; you had me at the animation features. I started in Procreate and often struggled with adding little things in the background. It was unsatisfying, and I believe it hindered my creative potential due to the awkwardness of including elements afterward. I was excited about Dreams, but my workflow heavily relies on reference layers and the selection tool, making my first experience challenging. Also, managing the timeline and moving multiple elements is something I'm struggling with. Perhaps with future updates, I'll revisit Dreams, as the features in your videos align with what I'm currently seeking for smaller animations. So thanks!

@nikolailockertsen 5 месяцев назад

Good video! I see with your style, the vector part really makes sense! For the type of stuff Im doing, Procreate + Procreate Dreams cannot really be replaced. There is a few features you mentioned for Fresco that also exists in Procreate and/or Dreams. The creating palette from a photo or with the camera is also in Procreate. The clipmask stuff with animation works in Dreams. The adjustment for any layer etc also works in Dreams. Importing all your PS brushes alsoworks in Procreate and therefor also in Dreams. The layer limit is also there for a reson. Do you every experience that Fresco gets slow? Or laggy? I really like the automatic looping for animation feature you show in Fresco. I would love that in Dreams! And also the particle-animation thingy with the stars. That looks really cool! Looks like stuff you could do with the old Sketchbook Motion app.

@chris-piascik 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your comment, I agree Dreams is great. I think it they update it to have the full drawing tools of regular Proceeate it will be even better. In terms of layers, to be honest I’ve never had Fresco get laggy on my m1 iPad Pro, even my more complicated files are pretty snappy on my base model iPad Mini.

@OhBoy.91 2 месяца назад

The stabilization/streamline features in Procreate is what keeps many people from using something else. Hand lettering in Procreate is 1000x easier than in any other program.

@chris-piascik 2 месяца назад

It’s nice, but as someone who’s spent years lettering in both apps I find it to be more of a matter of just getting used to one or the other. For example, now that I mainly use Fresco for everything the streamline feels a bit weird to me. But when I first started using Fresco it felt the other way around.

@Nina-dk1sb 5 месяцев назад

I like and use Fresco more because the tilt is much more effective and natural and it allows me to do more with just one brush.

@chris-piascik 4 месяца назад

@garymcderp1146 4 месяца назад

Other than Procreate I love ArtStudio Pro. It has a lot of the stuff Procreate is missing like adjustment layers. You can import .abr brushes and unlike in Procreate the brushes work like they’re supposed to. Also ArtStudio Pro’s new pigment engine allows you to paint like you would in real life, mixing different colors together to make new ones.

@chris-piascik 4 месяца назад

Oh cool, you can mix colors like that in Fresco too. It gives the ability to maintain the new color you made or reload upon lift.
