The BEST Drawing Apps on iPad Pro 2024 ✍️ 

Procreate.

Artstudio Pro

Hi Will, don't you use the linearity curve anymore? I saw that you didn't make any more videos @willpatersondesign

Fresco 🥰I just love using it and the results are great.

I'd say CSP since I've used CSP EX for years on PC. Don't feel like trying it on ipad with their subscription model. But it's my favorite to use. Currently using Procreate

What he majorly misses out on about Adobe Fresco is most of the features are available without subscription. Reason why I love it. Don’t get me wrong rest of Adobe need subscription but Fresco doesn’t.

@@cakie_0933 for me, the free version of fresco is sooo laggy buggy and cant draw on the app, only 12$ per year 1 month free and no bug and lag. but im on procreate and im satisfy with procreate till i see the wet effect on fresco lol ☺️✨

I think it’s because Adobe wants you to get used to using it and then they will add it to the subscription only category. It’s their M.O. 😊

@@nataliet3688 That's a shame 😒 I have used Procreate a bit should they do that however I'm quite use to Fresco’s layout

I bought that app and had to delete it, photoshop on iPad is not a great idea, also the brushes are really and I mean REALLY bad, the worst I’ve seen on iPad

@@aoterou then you have no idea how to set them up since they're more versatile than in Procreate (and wet brushes work infinitely better). photoshop on ipad is a great idea when it's optimized to be a drawing app, which ASP is

Agreed. Artstudio Pro is great for working as traditional media. Procreate is frustrating for full blown illustration. It seems more inclined to simpler graphics, not something that looks fully drawn and painted.

Trueeeeee!😅

here's a secret brother, ANY discipline worth knowing WILL BE HARD. Keep at it! Do it everyday, good things will happen.

@@pookiepats thanks for the advice

@@kartikproduction13 hell yea brother

@@pookiepats any advice to practically use design theory

Same here! I feels just amazing

can't agree less, there's barely anything i like in procreate, switched to Artstudio Pro after fighting procreate for a month

Fresco

​@@pastuh Thank you very much for the suggestion. But besides Fresco is a bit of a different beast, I don't use Adobe products (not even free ones). I mean, I used it professionally in the past, in every company (currently a freelancer) I worked at as a graphic designer and 2D/3D game artist. I know their apps upside down, Photoshop is second nature to me (used it professionally from 1995 till 2013). But now I can afford to avoid them... It's just personal preference: I avoid subscriptions (or I'll keep doing so until it's impossible), and I heavily dislike the Adobe's move with AI (in regards AI itself and the Adobe stock art used for that: artists did not allow such usage in the licenses), while Procreate devs have taken the strongest stance in the whole industry to defend artists in the AI big issue. I'm not an Apple/iOS fan, *at all*, but just for how good the app is (it really is, objectively; many things they did should have been implemented on desktop apps) and such unique take, I'd be inclined to buy an iPad Pro, just for Procreate. Also, currently I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, and for painterly artwork, ArtRage Vitae is IMO not as good as Rebelle 7 Pro on the desktop, but is good enough for that purpose. Anyway, Procreate is not as much about mimicking traditional media as ArtRage Vitae, Rebelle or Corel Painter (and to a point, Fresco, but it is a rather more basic app than any of this). Procreate is more of a general painting software (can be used for traditional media output, though). As a curiosity, According to the Expresii developer (he told this to me, indeed) , the Fresco base code for oil painting comes from an earlier development made by him, while he worked at Microsoft, many years ago. He was a pioneer of such technology. For how the whole things of patents work, it passed from one hand to another, and it ended in Adobe, which integrated it on Fresco. For a number of reasons, I'd rather prefer to try that once the Expresii's developer makes oil painting possible in his Windows app... but without enough funding, for now he is focused on Eastern style watercolors, only (it's an amazing app doing that, if one is interested in such thing).

Artstudio Pro is a lot better imo

Hey, man! I have a question for you. I now have an iPad (9th) that I draw on using Procreate. I like the app and am starting to get used to it. One advantage is that I can find many tutorials on RU-vid about it. The problem, in a sense, is the tablet. Not the tablet itself but the iOS which after almost 2 years I'm used to but still prefer android. Basically the tablet is a strong argument why I would never get an iPhone. Anyway, the point is that I'm tempted by Samsung tablets (Samsung Tab S9 Fe, or Ultra). Unfortunately, Procreate doesn't exist on Android. The alternative would be Sketchbook. Sketchbook I've just opened a bit and that's it. Have you used it? Is Procreate superior?
