Procreate Reviews & Product Details

Procreate makes creating and using custom brushes easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They recently removed the recolor option in the latest update, replacing it with a Gradient coloration tool. The new tool is still great, but different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality and sensitivity of the brushstrokes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not available on desktop. No vector options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using this app for almost a month now and this is pretty good. It's not the hard to use and allows me to draw everything very easily. From being able to slide the size and opacity meter. To actually having a lasso tool, and creating folders as well as your own canvas size. I also great enjoy the future of importing brushes people have made. I was able to get some good brushes to use.

Need more tutorials from the app to learn every tool and implement it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how well it strikes the balance between embracing digital, and imitating analog. Procreate allows me to do so much that I would want to be able to do with traditional mediums, but I'm not locked into so many of the limitations that come of working in them. I can scale, zoom, undo, automate, cut past, warp, etc. etc. etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike, honestly. But if I'm being picky, it might be the difficulty of collapsing layers with a gesture. It's just tough to get it to work properly sometimes, and I find myself making the gesture three or four times before it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procreate is a fantastic program for someone who is just starting out using bitmap art programs. It has a massive community online you can ask for help, and you can't beat the price (as long as you have an iPad and Apple Pencil). It's totally changed the way I make art. There are so many online resources from classes, to youtube videos, to brushes you can download. I've started using it in a professional setting as well. I can also add digital painting to my resume as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a little bit of a learning curve if you've never used this kind of program before. I also wish it was able to generate vector images, but there are other programs that would do that better anyway. Also, it would be nice if the phone app and iPad app were compatible, or even if it were available on other devices besides Apple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to customize brushes, create brushes, add brushes, is absolutely amazing! This is the most realistic tablet drawing experience I have ever had. This tool has helped my workflow and helped me create murals, packaging design elements, logo and branding projects as well as personal projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a bit of a learning curve. The simplicity of the tools makes them feel a bit hidden. However, there are plenty of free tutorials online to help you learn your way around the app. Additionally, I prefer to design vector artwork so if I am using illustrations or lettering from Procreate, I often bring it into Adobe Illustrator to vectorize it and complete my art there. I have found this to be pretty easy, though and I don't lose much texture or detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Procreate evolves responsively with user needs and already contains so many tools familiar to people using other industry standard software. It's also compatible with a range of devices, which makes it more accessible to people on a variety of budgets. I've recommended procreate to several of my colleagues, and everyone I've touched base with agrees that the program has improved their process. It's an incredibly easy program to pick up overall.

I think that the brush selection could probably be improved. Many of the limitations I had when first using the program have been addressed in updates, such as cropping and resizing. There are some ways that I feel integration with programs such as Adobe could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used drawing tablets like Wacom before to create illustrations, but it was difficult to adapt to watching the drawing happen on screen while your tablet is blank. I use an iPad Pro to draw with Procreate and it has been going well so far. I've had the app for about a month now. It's great to draw directly onto the screen and your hand doesn't affect the drawing except for using the undo feature or eyedropper tool. If you used free drawing apps before, the tools are pretty similar and easy to learn. The user interface is very clean and user-friendly. What I also like is how you can export your illustration into multiple different files and formats. For example, PNG and JPGs, or even editable files like PSD. You can also send easily send them to an email address or airdrop them to your computer, phone, or another iPad (must be an apple product to use the airdrop feature). You also get this app for a great price of just $10. You don't need to pay a monthly fee like how you for Adobe products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is how some tools are pretty new to users, and how there isn't a tutorial for the more difficult tools. I had to spend a good amount of time watching YouTube tutorials to find out what those tools did and how to use them. I also dislike how the app is only available on the Apple store, and not available for android products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, affordable, and powerful. Lots of documentation and YouTube tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty much built for iPad and Apple Pencil. Difficult to use without exactly that setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a true to life drawing experience, the range of tools is seemingly endless all for an affordable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really don’t have many negatives. I guess being tied to an iPad could be seen as a downside to some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
