This IPAD DRAWING APP Finally Got It RIGHT [Are You Listening ADOBE?!] 

Honest to god yeah, it's just so SMART!

It’s that simple - the modesty of this app Is it’s greatest strength imo

Isn't that amazing? I was so excited when I found out, particularly when I TRIED it!

@@AdamDuffArt heck yeah! I literally just bought my iPad and pencil 3 days ago and had fun playing with Procreate, and got this one right after I finished watching your video! I can definitely see myself using it as my primary sketching app - or even painting! And I'm excited to see what Boro's genius has in store for us in the future.

Oh definitely - I'm so reassured as an artist to know that we have Boro's innovation on our side - I'm a huge fan.

I heard recently that he might have an update coming out soon - of course he’s one guy developing it but I can’t wait to see what he has in store.

Absolutely - it's such a diluted production process. And the bigger the expectations, the more "voices" jump into the development process, which can be devastating. It often leads to a very diluted and unfocused product like this iteration of PS.

:)

Oh of course, he's ONE guy, so keeping that up to date and producing videos every 2 days is a monumental task (speaking from another RU-vidr). There's no way I could keep up with his pace - the fact that he's working on this on the side goes to show how tireless and passionate he is about art and the tech that makes it possible. I'll just patiently wait :)

@@AdamDuffArt I agree 100%

I feel the exact same way here: 1. Clip Studio Pro, for its wealth of features, its customizability and brush engine (blending!) - I can do everything in this app 2. Procreate, for its smoothness, get out of your way UI and flow

I heard that there’s an update coming soon as well, so it should slowly Starr growing into a more rounded app

Function not features, and for those basic functions that I highlighted in the video - it’s simply better You can’t compare features and complexity between procreate and an app designed by a single artist

Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL you compare photoshop by Adobe with this simple app and don't mention Procreate, which has this simple customizable color picker. And brush size is a slider in the side which just works

@@WouterZtube changing brush size quickly in Procreate isn't great.

Alan Smith what do you mean? I've been using it for 7 years. Never had any issues with is. Just slide up and down. If you need more control, just slide out a bit. How simple can it be. Feels to me like you are pushing an app

:)

Rumor has it that there's an update coming soon as well - so we should keep our eyes out for that. I'm excited to see what's coming up next.

Oh absolutely - and I'll be reviewing those apps as well, with equal intensity if not more. iPad is an entirely different beast when it comes to art app development - BUT - a little innovation and smarts (like Boro's app) is what ultimately makes or breaks success.

Thank you - and there’s definitely more to come

Oh I’m all over that my friend - I’m VERY much looking forward to sharing my thoughts on it - my number 1 app right now

Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL Awesome! 😎

Back at you Carl :)

Absolutely - it's still a very young app, but it's a young app that's entirely getting it right. I heard that there may be an update coming soon but I don't want to project. As for doing a collab with Boro - I would love to, not only because I'm a huge fan of his work but because we both have a darker theme to our style, which would be very compatible and fun to collaborate on. Maybe one day!!

@@AdamDuffArt "...maybe one day!!" Great :) Good to know. I hope soon :) "...because we both have a darker theme to our style..." Yeah...wonderful style!

bien por ti... procreate es basura

@@Cytryz Not sure your point. I am saying even Boro does not use his own app to do something, so why would anyone else consider it the best

It’s because for working on professional pieces, he needs a full featured app, which Craft Pro hasn’t reached yet Artstudio Pro in my (and Boris) opinion I’d the best all around app for the iPad at the moment - even moreso than procreate

@@AdamDuffArt But wouldn't the best drawing program be one that you can create professional pieces with? That would be the superior software. I don't see Boro sketch in one program and paint in another. He just uses ArtStudio pro. Wouldn't ASP be a better program than Boro's then, even by the creator's admission?

@@poeticalgore6500 Oh absolutely, I use Artstudio Pro primarily as well for that reason! This video wasn't to explore the app with the most features, rather the best implementation of the core functions that us painters depend on every day.

@@poeticalgore6500 you sound kind of rude, no offense. That app was his project but I wouldn't be surprised that with more time and resources it can become as good as art studio. What a way to downplay a one's man project if anything is very admirable he did it all by himself.

J J yes it has a left hand mode!

hehe, there are many great apps on the iPad but honestly, this one is implementing the painting feature the best (although do note that it's a NEW app - Boro's going to be updating with features and stuff moving forward but being one guy, I'll be patient and let him take the time he needs)

Absolutely - I spent almost a month setting up this new recording station so I have BIG plans with it :)

Same here, I have his videos playing all the time in the background while I paint.

I watch him and I listen to u Adam, thank you for the advices

I'd love to as well - as it stands right now however, it's just too clunky, time consuming and distracting - especially when there are so many better options out there already.

Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL Yeah! I definitely see how the program you indicated in this video would take the cake on this matter.

It's the DRAFTABLE by Elevation Labs - I have a review of it on my channel - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xNhudVvy6FU.html

I'm really not sure, I'd definitely ask him directly. He knows exactly where and when things will be updated. Gotta respect the fact that he's doing this on his own (and produces a video every 2 days!) I'll just be patient and let him do what he can when he can :)

@@AdamDuffArt yeah i totally agree, huge props to the man.. Ill check it out soon, the app looks great so far, thanks for the reply 😃

Maybe? I haven't tried yet - I'd definitely check Boro's channel to find out - I linked his guide video in the description

@@BoroCG Cool, thanks.

@@AdamDuffArt Ahh thank you.

@@debilita9999 ^^ what he said!

lol

Oh I'm already planning a full (personal) review of it coming soon. I have many thoughts and feelings (good and bad)

Absolutely - I generally use my iPad for concepts, but if I have access to my desktop, then that’s the option I prefer

Totally disagree. There isn’t any advantage to a desktop other than screen real estate when it comes to just drawing or painting naturally. If I could have a 24 or 32in iPad for drawing or painting, I’d buy it lol.

@@Koi-studio ? You said there is not an advantage to the desktop and you want a 24 inch ipad? That is not portable. And we were discussing about how the apple pencil perform in the professional sector. You can clearly understand that the pencil has nothing to do with a wacom+desktop pc. 2 different worlds, but if you find the Ipad+pencil to be your best tool, just use it! Im happy for you

@@daniloalongi7655I use a Wacom as well at work. I said the only desktop advantage is screen real estate hence why I would love a larger iPad. Obviously file management is better on a desktop. But talking purely about the drawing experience, I prefer the sensitivity, tilt and accuracy of the Apple Pencil.

@@Koi-studio i am sorry, but airbrushing and stuffs that need a "real" input device is so hard on apple pencil, its jumpy

Buddha sketchbook and procreate does that too.

@@iwatcher69 It doesn't, maybe with the latest pencil and the double tap feature but not with mine. How do you do that with proceate?

@@MrsLolylolapop several apps do that yeah, but there's generally a "delay". Artstudio is one of my staple apps for painting due to its all-around functionality and features, but imo (and to be reviewed soon on my channel) - Infinite Painter has the perfect implementation of the touch colour pick feature.

I have mixed feelings about it. I'm excited about the new innovation and features coming (been playing with the beta since it was announced), but some things just still don't work for me - I'm planning a review of it very soon (along with several others)

Just to tell how shit it is? Why?

Lightroom and Photoshop on the desktop are very, very different from their implementations on iPadOS though. That's as true for photographers as it is for artists, illustrators and designers. I do not find Photoshop for the iPad to be useful as it stands now for any of the above. It isn't usable for image post-processing and retouching, because the most basic feature of all - the ability to open Camera RAW files - was left out. That's a huge problem for photographers and retouchers who mostly work with RAW files to preserve image quality. It makes it completely unusable in my photography post-production workflow. How Adobe could leave Adobe Camera RAW out of Photoshop for the iPad is beyond me. Photoshop still has its photography user base on the desktop, sure, but the iPad iteration isn't any more useful for serious photographers than for serious artists, IMHO. Add to that a very unpopular subscription model and it's a recipe for a failed app. I'd say the rating for it in the app store pretty much backs that up. Everything that Adam has said from the art side for the iPad version of Photoshop holds true for me, as well. Adobe really missed the mark with this release of Photoshop for the iPad, leaving pretty much every segment of its target audience with a sub-par feature set. That's not a good thing, by any means. I was really looking forward to Photoshop on the iPad, for image post-processing in particular, as well as some art and design tasks, but that excitement came and went pretty quickly when the app was launched. I chose to pass. As far as Photoshop as an art creation tool (desktop version), my feelings have always been mixed. There are some things I prefer doing in Photoshop, but painting isn't necessarily one of them. I know some artists love painting in Photoshop and they swear by it. And, it's the industry standard. That said, as well as I know the app, I've never found the interface to be as well designed for my workflow as I would like. The best painting experience I ever got in Photoshop was back when the Deep Paint plugin was still around (late 90's/early 2000's), but once Painter finally introduced layers, it became obsolete. Today, there are other apps that I enjoy digitally drawing/painting in more on both the desktop and the iPad, because they were designed specifically with art in mind and they provide a more natural workflow for artists and illustrators. So, I agree with you there. That said, having used Photoshop since the first version back in 1991, we have definitely come a long way from where we started and Photoshop for the desktop is far from the app it started as. Hopefully, we'll continue to see a lot more development with the art apps on the market (for both desktop and iPad) in the years to come... ideally without forcing an unpopular and unsustainable subscription model on the community. I love that some of the best art app developers out there right now are rejecting that model in favor of a one-time, or one-time per major upgrade, payment model. Even Corel Painter, which is by no means cheap (even on Black Friday - lol), is available without a subscription.

Maybe I haven't given clip studio a proper try. I remember years ago kind of having a "meh!" reaction to it but I'll try again and offer my feedback on it.

@@AdamDuffArt To me Clip Studio Paint leaves Photoshop in the dust for illustration. I even like it better than Procreate because of how good drawing "feels". I do like Procreate also though.

Highly agree - in fact it used to be my main iPad painting app. I had high praise for it in a review years ago.

lol, it was originally created for APPLE believe it or not. I think that by now they know that every art/animation/fantasy art studio on the PLANET uses Photoshop - they're just too overwhelmed with politics to do it properly in my opinion. Besides, they have Lightroom that's exclusively for Photographers - Photoshop is the hybrid that bridges all of these skills.

I just want Adobe to stop trying to show off and remember that it's the CORE functions that matter most - not all these stupid bells and whistles that just slow things down.

@@AdamDuffArt bells and whistles are the only excuse they have to increase prices or keep people subscribed. It's like the car industry.

True, but Photoshop is still the industry standard for drawing and painting. Adobe has ignored both its target audiences.

@@RobCartwright I understand how that could be misinterpreted but Photoshop is in every art and illustration and animation and comic studio on earth. It's been the staple drawing and painting app since I began my professional career over 25 years ago. The problem is the fact that they need to update the name of the app to reflect that.

@@AdamDuffArt That's what I meant. If Photoshop isn't going to be focused on drawing and painting, Adobe either needs to come up with something new or take another look at Fresco. I think the Photoshop app is doing a disservice to both parties it's meant for.

A little birdy told me there may be a sizeable update coming soon

Maybe 20 year ago - but now it's the core drawing/painting app in every studio worldwide - it's the industry standard art app for illustrators and cartoonists and comic artists alike. In fact, there are several celebrated "traditional" style digital painters like Michael Kutsche that originally worked in Corel Painter and eventually transitioned their work flow to Photoshop for that reason.

As Master Wong says - "keep it basic and simple" :)
