Review Procreate?

Procreate is highly praised for its intuitive interface and powerful features, making it a top choice for digital artists on the iPad. Users appreciate its customizable brushes, smooth performance, and professional capabilities like layers and blending modes. The app's support for the Apple Pencil enhances the drawing experience with accurate pressure and tilt sensitivity. Makers of With and The Green Book commend its ease of use and ability to create graphic assets directly on the iPad. Despite minor limitations, Procreate remains a favorite for both beginners and professionals.

One of the best graph editors for apple, it literally sold me on my ipad and stylus back in the day. :з I think only the compressed jpeg issue is frustrating, but that's a minor thing compared to the ability to simply and easily draw without forcing and overcomplicated features. (nevertheless they are quite deep if you go deeper).

Sometimes I get to use Procreate on my partner's ipad, and it's the most convenient drawing program in my memory. It seems that there are the most packs of different brushes on Procreate, it's very convenient to customize the canvas and, dammn, the best thing is to auto-save the canvas, even if the device suddenly runs out. Everything remains to the last line, ipad for charging - and keep going! So I'm saving up for my own device, so that I can also work comfortably at any time.

As a Procreate user, here are some things I can review about this application: 🔥 Procreate Advantages: ✅ Simple & User-Friendly Interface – Easy to use, even for beginners. ✅ Customizable & Varied Brushes – You can create your own brushes or download from the community. ✅ Fast & Light Performance – Smooth drawing without lag, even for large projects. ✅ Professional Features – Supports layers, blending modes, clipping masks, and more. ✅ Apple Pencil Support – Pressure & tilt sensitivity is very accurate for a natural drawing experience. ✅ One-Time Payment – ​​Only pay once, no subscription fees like Adobe. ✅ Flexible Export – Can export to various formats such as PSD, PNG, JPG, to timelapse videos. 👎 Procreate Disadvantages: ❌ Only for iPad – Not available on Android or PC. ❌ No Vector Support – Unlike Adobe Illustrator, Procreate only supports raster. ❌ Limited Animation Features – Can create simple animations, but not as complex as dedicated animation software. 🌟 Conclusion: Procreate is one of the best digital illustration apps on the iPad, suitable for both professionals and beginners. With an affordable price and powerful features, it is a top choice for many digital artists. bandar bola

Procreate is like your art companion on travels! It turns your iPad into a canvas where you can paint with digital brushes and paints. I see it as the best app for iPad. I always choose Procreate because it's so simple and convenient. And what's especially cool is that you can draw anywhere, even on the go

Absolute powerful for creative workers. I tested several tools (Krita, Inkscape, etc) on Microsoft systems. As well as tools on android pads. But to be honest. This tool is near to perfect. Very intuitive. I can really recommend it for creative workers. Ipad12“+pen+procreate = a lot of fun

I really like procreate. I found what once was tedious fun, I have loved how intuitive it is, the colour pallets and the capacity to import my old pallets and brushes. It is extremely useful when it comes to easy details and creating illustrations for presentations. Every day I learn more about it and find applications for all the tools. Now I enjoy working with all my images and creating schemes to communicate my ideas.

Since I got an iPad with a stylus, I only draw in Procreate on it. There are some aspects that could be improved, but for now, it is the most convenient drawing app on the iPad.
