The best tool for illustrators and designers
Discovered Procreate at work and it really changed my professional and private life, not kidding. Also the exporting readiness is a time saver
- 6 month later I love Procreate even more
- You buy the app once and you get all the updates for free after that
- I wish you could somehow choose what layer you draw on without having to click so many times to open the folder list, then the right folder, then the pen, then the screen
- The pen size and color for each layer is still not there, and also grouped layer cannot get a mask

Best program for artists
I started using this program in 2018, and quickly discovered that it was a game changer in my designing process. My designs became so much more fun, and my creativity exploded with all of the features!
The ability to create your own brushes, fonts, and endless design concepts with the easy to use features
- A big learning curve, as there are limitless options
- It is easy to become overwhelmed

Procreate was recommended by other artists online, so i thought I'd give it a try. Best decision I've made in my career.

Procreate is a must have digital art software!
My overall experience was rough at first as I transitioned from another product, but after a little bit of regular use I found it easily became my go to tool for digital art and graphic design
- I like the ease of use and short-cuts procreate gives me when creating digital art and graphic design
- I also like that the app is able to be shared in my apple family making it so I didn't have to purchase it twice for my child to use it on her iPad
- The only downside to procreate was that it is an Apple only product
- It took me about two years of debating whether or not to purchase an iPad and I ONLY purchased an iPad for the use of procreate

I made the switch from Medibang to procreate because of its interface between the Apple pencil and iPad compared to other similar items on the market at the time of purchase.
Why they chose it
"Adobe notoriously has a subscription based product and well-known cancelation issues."

Procreate, and artist’s (or not) digital playground for art exploration!
Overall my experience with procreate is a positive one. I Love the fact that I’m able to utilize my stylus pencil to create things in essence with an unlimited amount of tools and features right on my iPad. While some of the features that are included within the app are difficult for new Artist or designers to use, despite those few difficult tools there is a wide consortium of picking a level and easy to navigate tools and features for even the newest designer to figure out.
- In general there is a lot to like about the software
- You purchase at one time and then you are able to utilize it from there on out you don’t necessarily have to subscribe to anything which is nice
- In addition there is a broad range of functionality embedded within the app
- So whether you are a beginner artist or mediocre designer, you are sort of able to play around with the app and figure out some basic or simple tools that you are able to use
- In comparison to a seasoned artist or designer who has full range and functionality to create true masterpieces simply on the app
- In terms of things that I liked least about the software, I would just mention that while some of the tools are user-friendly and you are able to figure out how to use some of the basic features
- It would be nice for some of the more intricate or designer friendly tools to be easily accessible for new users or new designers
- I found that when I was trying to utilize some of the more seasoned tools, I had a little bit of a more difficult time navigating the app or specifically how to use those tools, and found myself having to outsource data and go to another source to watch a video or read on how to specifically use that one feature on the app
- And that’s a lot to do to figure out how do use one small feature of the app

Switching to procreate is simply for the ability to broaden the capacity of simple images, drawings, and notes. Because of the wide range of tools and features that procreate offers, it’s easy to make the switch from a simple design app to a more intricate and elaborate tool base like procreate

My winner illustration Tool
I have made a lot of work easier, and faster, and actually became an illustrator thanks to procreate. I was no longer afraid of drawing digitally.
It is so simple to use, that when I used it for the first time, it was as if I have known it from always
The only one thing I don´t like is that the undo history is not available after closing the art you are working on
Switched From
I like the ease, the brushes, the features, the integration with fingers gestures.

One of the best mobile apps for illustration and painting
It's a pretty smooth experience for illustrators. If you are used to softwares like Photoshop, you might notice the lack of some functionalities.
- Wide variety of brushes, tools and functionalities
- Easy to learn and intuitive for artists
- It could have more image editing functions, like filters and adjustment layers
Switched From
Available on ipad, works great with apple pencil for drawing on screen.

So easy with iPad and Pencil
It allows me to easily express myself creatively when inspiration strikes. For that alone it’s worth the money.
It’s intuitive to use, and has a big community of illustrators and graphic designers that share lots of helpful tips and tricks about Procreate
- Not much, it does what it says it will do
- I guess if it had better image editing capabilities
- But not a biggie
- I’d prefer seperate tools that are superior at what they set out to be

This seems like it was made for iPad and the Apple Pencil. It’s way easier and can export to PSD.

my brush
it facilitates drawing thanks to its multitude of brushes and dedicated drawing functions
- is an easy-to-use tool with many brushes for drawing and painting
- it's not too famous as it's limited to certain Apple products only
Why they chose it
"this tool is so easy to use it's just click-and-drop with most of its effects."
