Goodbye Photoshop? 🤔 

UPDATE: matte screen protector came in, 10/10 chefs kiss

Welcome to the fam, Sam! Passing those kind comments on our default brushes onto our CEO + Chief Brush Author, James 🙌🏼

Sam: The screen is kinda small. Me drawing on my phone with my finger: _WHATDIDUJUSTSAY??_

Sam: "i am quite disappointed.." Me: *LOUD GASP* Sam: "that i didn't try this earlier" Me: *long exhale of relief* Sam: "i gotchu in the first half ngl ;))" WHAT IS HE A MIND READER?!??! >:O

Sam: *talks about something important* Me: omg so beautiful little birb

Small tips: one, definitely get a pencil grip, because they're the same size as normal pencils it's pretty easy to find one that works for you. Next up! there's customization that allows you to disable the tap to eraser thing. (which can be a lot.) For the pencil visibility, I would turn on the brush curser. And just a heads up for the matte protector, if the grain is too deep it can actually damage the tip of you pencil, so just keep an eye out for that. So glad you like procreate!

The procreate brushes are sooo good, I especially enjoy the pencil brushes they really look & feel like traditional pencils 🙌🏼

ughh i was feeling so unmotivated (i use procreate on ipad) and you really helped to inspire me! thank you

When Sam kisses his ipad- I stay treating mine like a baby too 😫✋

The biggest pro argument that made me buy an iPad instead of a drawing tablet was the fact that I can draw everywhere and am not bound to draw at a desk all the time, which for me is great and I keep drawing in bed all the time. The 2021 iPad pro also has a thicker screen than the older ones because of the new XDR-Display, that’s probably why with a screen protector drawing gets a bit more wobbly. It shouldn’t happen with the 2020 and 2018 ipad pros.

How to fix those wonky lines: Tap on the brush you’re going to use to open up it’s settings, then edit the steamline. This will determine how smooth and strait your stroke will be.✍️

It should also be mentioned that procreate supports animation as well! It’s fairly basic but it’s very intuitive and you’re able to draw with all the same tools which is great. I struggle to find any ways where it’s noticeably inferior to photoshop, but in the end it costing $10 blows photoshop’s overpriced ass out of the water

Here's a tip that I just learned for my iPad. You can connect a monitor via the usb-c port and this will allow you to work zoomed in on the tablet while seeing the whole project evolve on the monitor. Enjoy the new iPad!

There’s a feature where you can see a brush cursor in case it’s needed!!! I believe it should be under the settings and preferences

Tap with 4 fingers to make the interface disappear and reappear and pinch and let go quickly with two fingers to make the canvas fill the screen the best that it can😎

I was going to watch a movie but obviously this is more important ! 😆

The way sam looks at the ipad on the intro is like “Finally . *inner crying and happiness* ” gotta hold it carefully 😂 its expensive-

0:11 ngl he had us the first half

He actually had me in the first half lol🤡🤡🚶‍♀️

"I see you guys with all your custom brushes - why?" Lololol that was literally me 😂 even now I just use a default round brush and that's it

seeing sam work with procreate is just mindblowing- his procreate art is amazing. T-T makes me want to improve my own art

That iPad is so beautiful. 😭❤💕👌 I want one, but my wallet's screaming... No.

that ipad is freaking huge, mine is the 10inch one so i can’t imagine having almost 3 extra inches to work on i would get lost in my own screen haha. 3 fingers swipe down gives you a quick little copy and paste menu, 4 finger tap puts you almost in preview mode? it takes away the toolbars. i definitely figured these both out accidentally xD

Thanks a lot for posting your video's. I know it's a weird thing to say to someone who's part of their career is posting video's but I still think it's important to hear that you really are appreciated and you bring a unique angle to what you do that really inspires and helps me on my own art journey. Keep it up.

With procreate on the iPad you can adjust the streamline of the brushes which will help with line smoothness especially if you use a tempered glass protector, you do it by opening the brush settings, I use it with having tremors and it helps me put out the art I wanna create!

Seeing this video reminds me of how I felt when I discovered the app back in 2012 and I can tell you that I have not looked back. Had purchased a Wacom tablet a year prior and it gathered dust for a while after. Now using it with Apple Pencil is even better. Welcome to the Procreate club bud! Regards from your neighbour from Montreal 🇨🇦

Same here! Tried all sorts of art software and once I landed on procreate in addition to using the apple pencil, I never looked back! It's easy, accessible, and portable!

Excellent review! Especially the ease of use and the intuitive interface. I am a Procreate LOVER and really enjoyed you talking about it!

I thought my screen protector was causing a wobble too, but found it’s most likely an issue with the iPad’s digitizer, since it’s a lower resolution than the screen itself. It usually only causes the wobble when drawing slower and diagonally. But hey, if a matte protector helped you out that’s great! (And maybe I’ll try it too)

And I agree, they have awesome brushes but I really do love the Jingsketch ones :D

Yessir! Ever since I got my iPad, it has really been the only thing I use! It's just suck a slick experience using it. 10/10 Glad to see you join the team.

So happy you’re enjoying it! Have a great day,I love your videos! ♥️

Now I need a tutorial on how to use the default brushes in Procreate!

6:17 i also find it difficult to have accuracy because of how the apple pencil is designed but i just turn on the brush cursor and i’m fine so that could be a suggestion :)

Your voice and diction are so soothing ! It just makes your videos even more pleasurable to watch.

You make it look so effortless! Love your work.😊

I loove working in procreate, I'm so excited you finally got it 😍

I bought the Ipad Air with Apple pencil recently too and even if I think it's a good tool to have I feel way more comfortable,faster and productive on my pc with a keyboard and the Kamvas 22" plus... maybe I will get used to the ipad but I don't think I will upgrade to the pro and get rid of the stationary set up... desktop/laptop set up is still the king for getting business done 😄

I really enjoy your work. I try my hardest to paint like that. I hope you do more procreate pieces. Thanks for showing your skill.

Bumping up the streamline part in the brush settings is a massive lifesaver !

I wanna see you draw with a small cheap tablet. I know it’s (very) possible to make very good art with it (cause alot of artist have done this video ideas). I’m just... throwing out ideas. *wink* *wink*

Me with Procreate and Apple Pencil- idk Procreate seems to make my drawings look cartoony so maybe photoshop is good, sees this vid oh ffs what do I do now

Ahhh I was waiting for this!! I'm new to digital art and I love procreate! So excited for future videos on this!

As a car design student, i really want an i pad cos i feel it’s just so comfortable. U can draw whenever u want everywhere

I’ve found my self drawing on procreate a lot, when I do something on my iPad anything at all I try to undo stuff with a 2 figure tap. I’m like “why isn’t it working!” “Oh..yeah this isn’t like procreate 🤦‍♀️”

This is just a content idea-Are you gonna try out using other applications like Medibang? 👀👀👀

This is my first time watching your video. Bro your voice is so soothing. You calm my mind.

I just got the same iPad as a graduation gift! I've been wanting to try Procreate out forever, and although some things could be improved it's amazing✨

rip that photoshop AYYYY

watching this in class because you're more important 🙈

Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to buying an Ipad in the future and you gave me all the information I needed. I guess moving from real-life sketching to digital art will be kinda awkward but hopefully, I'll get used to this.

Nice video Sam! Your style is awesome 😍

Congrats sam!! Hope to see more arts from you using procreate.

you are so fucking well spoken and chill! I think I might have to go down the rabbit hole and watch a ton more of your videos! great video!

Hey Sam. Thanks for great videos. If you have any guestions reguarding Procreate, feel free to ask. I have been soloing on Procreate since 2012 with all my private and client art. My biggest tip for you in Procreate is to set up the guesture-controls, and espessially Quick-menu to touch! This will replace your hotkeys from PS. You can customise 6 things to put in the Quickmenu, and trigger them by just a flick og a finger in the 6 directions. Ive put 2 of my fav brushes, flip canvas, paint, erase and alpha-lock. This will just make the workflow in Procreate SO much better! Cheers, Nikko

As a procreate daily user in this part 5:58 you can go to the brush settings to Add streamline so your strokes don’t do a little wabble !

so happy you got the ipad ! I love drawing on procreate !

would love to see an updated video on the Ipad drawing equipment:))! pencil cover/ gloves etc. (your videos are amazing:)!)

for the apple pen I would recommend a grip, they also will provide some customization to your apple pen, so many colors and designs and will make the pen to feel more secure in your hand.

Been working with Procreate on my 2018 iPad 6th Gen since May 2018. Glad I started with Procreate, since I had no prior experience. I also upgraded to the new M1 12.9 iPad Pro and I'm loving it! Great video I can only agree on your points!

Hi sam I love your work and I've been using Procreate for about 6 months now and my personal favorite of the procreate software is the brush studio and how you can apply certain characteristics to brushes to get that certain feel to a piece.

Awesome video! And as for the apple pencil nib being too big, you might be interested in using the brush cursor. Its in the preferences menu and I find it helps with accuracy!

Great video! Also got the new iPad Pro and it's wonderful. As for the Apple Pencil and the issue you're mentioning, there is a rubber grip called NimbleGrip that works perfectly for someone who's used to a thicker pen

The Paperlike screen protector is a good option as well :) As the name implies, it makes the surface feel more like paper. So your screen gets protected AND the normal screen isn‘t slippery like it is without a screen protector (or just any other screen protector)

Before Procreate I used to work on clip studio paint for desktop. I watched a couple of tutorials before trying the app, and I was shocked at how easy everything is. All the features I need are 3 clicks away tops, and it's super easy to set up and change.

Happy to see you on Procreate !! Impatient to see now more video with it

Genial Sam, no sabes cuanto estaba esperando tus obras en procreate 🤩🤩

It's great for getting away from your desk, sketching on the couch, coffee shop, park etc 👍

For people who use tempered glass and are wanting more stable lines, you may try adjusting the stabilization amount of your brush in the settings. It helps draw really straight, smooth lines…

Thank you for sharing your video.. I’ll be on the lookout for the next one..

Aaahhh woww!!!! I would love to see ipad tutorials too!! We would love too see u use other apps and give review bout them too 💘💘💘💘 Love youuuu!! All the best!!!

If you want to make straight lines in Procreate draw the line, circle, square or triangle(as far as I know that’s it) and hold. It should make a straight line and while holding you can move it to different angles if you want. Another way to do it is using Drawing Assist. If you go to Actions(wrench) then to Canvas you’ll find it. Flip the switch and press Edit drawing guide under it. There you can make grids and do symmetry stuff. Hope this helps someone! 😊

You can drag the color circle thingy at the top right down to color fill 😊

Love your drawings, your videos and really love this app ❤️❤️❤️

Be sure to customize and take advantage of the quick menu, found under gesture controls in preferences. Increases work flow ten fold.

i cant tell how long i have been waiting for this Video.. Thanks Sam!

ah sam nice that you like procreate so much and i definitely agree !! you can actually turn off the double tap feature or like change it if you want to! also you can choose in the procreate settings to show the brush cursor to get rid of the "not sharpened pen" feeling :) hope this helps!

Nice video! I've bought one just recently, mostly for the mobility factor, and I really like it as well! Maybe somebody has already said that, but you can buy a special cover for the apple pen in order to decrease its chances to run away. Just make sure to buy one that you can still charge through (I've bought one like that, not sure if there is any which doesn't do that)

I needed this information, thank you!

They actually sell rubber grips (sort of like pencil grips) that you can put on your Apple Pencil to make it easier to hold!

You can tweak the settings for certain shortcuts in Procreate. Like the double pencil tap feature you can change that to eye dropper whenever you double tap the pencil

I also have an ipad and im just starting to learn how to use Procreate. I dont have professional experience with these kinds of software, so I watch tutorials on youtube about it. Its pretty easy to use after that and I enjoy drawing. The reference feature is my favorite because its very helpful because i sketch through observation 😅

When drawing in procreate, i like to turn "brush cursor" on as it gives a rough guide as to where you brush is.. this helps me with the rounded tip issue :)

love the video! procreate has been my main for the past year!

gotta say i love this man’s vibe

In my 2 years being a graphic design student, I never touch my laptop for doing assignments. When I figured out how to use the apps on the iPad, everything goes smoothly!

Thank you im gonna get procreate and this made me confident w that desicion

I haven’t seen any people do this but in the procreate gallery of your drawings if you zoom into one it basically creates a slideshow that you can scroll through.

btw! if anyone is used to drawings on paper. there are types of screen protectors that have a paper life feel to it, i have it and it feels nice.

You can add stream line by clicking in the brush, and you can change se sensibility of the pencil in prefs edit pressure curves

Genuine review. Loved it 🙌

Cool procreate tip while multitasking mode: drag a photo into the colour palette menu and it’ll decipher the colour palette of that photo 👌🏻

I’ve never used photoshop, but I’ve been on Procreate for maybe 18 months? Honestly your Pros and Cons made me giggle, exactly how I feel 😂 I can’t use other programs now, they don’t let me double tap to undo 😅

That little birb drawing is adorable i-

The sliding might help with this pen tips, literally from company call Pen Tips! Its this silicone tip designed for ipad!

YOU WON. IT'S INSTALLING. I haven't been painting since so many years so I am VERY excited.

Hi Sam, you can import your brushes from Photoshop to Procreate, what you need to do is just save all your brushes with the extension .abr file, send to Ipad, open Procreate and go to brushes > import, and open the .abr file.

I recommend buying a grip if the pencil still feels small/slippery :)

blending modes are very helpful so you might want to look up a tutorial on that

he has a really soft tone , very soothing
