For Artists, what is it and how does it work?

Good morning artists, as a good informant about programs for artists, today I bring you a note about Procreate.

Procreate launched on the App Store in 2011 and since then there hasn’t been another creative app for iPad that tops it. Artists mention that procreate is so versatile and easy to use, plus it has quite a few tools for drawing. Procreate is a professional digital drawing application available for iPad and other mobile devices such as iPhone and iPod touch (pocket version).

Lately Procreate has been very popular for iPad users, even because it is an iPad it gives you a lot of mobility when it comes to expressing your creativity and you don’t have to be stuck on the PC, but now you can draw from the comfort of your bed, away from home etc. In a short time, Procreate has become one of the most important digital illustration tools in the world of graphic art.

Another interesting thing is that Procreate has a community of artists where you can share your creations and get different resources, such as free brush sets for Procreate, color palettes and much more. This community is called Procreate Folio and it’s a great option if you want to find inspiration, get your work out there on the internet, and even use it as your own Illustration Portfolio.

In addition, Procreate Folio also has a discussion board or forum where different people around the world share their doubts about how to use Procreate. If you sign up, you can contribute to the program or find answers to your questions and thus help other artists like you.

Below I show you everything that the program can offer you.

Currently the price of Procreate is $9.99 USD (one-time payment), so it can be said that it has a very affordable price, considering the large number of tools that this application offers.
Of course, we know very well that apple products are not very cheap, as well as the ipad and the apple pen. Above all, their durability is also questioned, since they have a long life, and repairing some of these products is quite expensive.

If you already have an iPad and you are interested in the program, I highly recommend it, for a tablet program it has too many options and believe me you will be quite satisfied.
