A few years ago back when I was in Georgia I got my hands on a company Ipad and tried my best to use an art app called Procreate. It somehow felt unnatural and disconnected. Well now that I have an Ipad Pro and Procreate has gone through massive updates how do I feel about it…about the same. The apple pencil has no sensation as I draw on the glossy screen which desensitizes my drawing ability and after awhile I start to actually get worse. The accuracy and sensitivity even with the apple pencil are kinda spotty. Recently Procreate with the Ipad pro has become a hot item for modern artists as it bridges the gap in convenience, price and quality but for the style of art that I do it just doesn’t quite cut it. It is however pretty good for a new style that I’m adopting from Neil Ross. I find myself reaching for more saturation when I use Procreate and something about it all makes me simplify my art which is crucial. The verdict…I’ll use Procreate nights and weekends. No anytime minutes for this thing.
