It requires iPadOS 14.4 or newer and is supported on the following devices: 12.9-inch iPad<\/strong> Pro (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation) 11-inch iPad Pro<\/strong> (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation)<\/p>\n In this regard, which iPad should I buy for Procreate? <\/p>\n Correspondingly, do you need<\/strong> a new iPad<\/strong> for Procreate? Procreate<\/strong> is, without question, the best art program available for the latest generation iPad with Apple Pencil, and yet it is ridiculously cheap \u2013 only $9.99 (one-time payment) \u2013 so, of course, if you already have a compatible iPad (more below about this) you absolutely should get this great app.<\/p>\n You asked, can you use an old iPad for Procreate<\/strong>? Procreate is no longer compatible with older iPads that run iOS 12.4. x or earlier. Sorry. Procreate is NOT the only sketching\/drawing\/painting app that is great on an iPad<\/strong> and some of the other sketching\/drawing\/painting apps may still be compatible with your iPad and iOS version.<\/p>\n Furthermore, is Procreate a one-time purchase? Procreate is $9.99 to download. There’s no subscription or renewal fee. You pay for the app once and that’s it. If you are already using an iPad<\/strong> Pro and Apple Pencil, that’s a pretty enticing deal.<\/p>\n To give you an idea, I currently have 53 pieces of art in my Procreate gallery of varying complexities. Altogether, this takes up 2.1gb of space on my iPad. That’s not a lot, even for a 32gb iPad. That said, Procreate may not be the only app fighting for space on your iPad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Is Procreate Worth it Without an Apple Pencil? Procreate is worth it, even without the Apple Pencil. No matter what brand you get, you need to make sure to get a high quality stylus that is compatible with Procreate in order to get the most out of the app.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Ultimately, while Procreate offers a digital experience that feels like you’re drawing on paper, Photoshop offers a much more robust set of features, especially in the realm of photo editing. Procreate offers a simple, intuitive interface and comes loaded with more than 200 brushes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Equipment You’ll Need The main thing you’ll need to use Procreate is an iPad, an Apple Pencil and the Procreate app. However, there are several things you might want to consider before diving in, especially as these tools are quite an expensive investment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Just $9.99 USD exclusively from the App Store.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If Procreate won’t download, or it doesn’t appear in the app store, it’s likely that your iPad is incompatible with the Procreate software, either due to age or out of date software. There is a workaround to prompt the system to give you a compatible version of Procreate for your specific iPad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Good news: all iPads released after 2015 are compatible with the latest version of the Procreate app! The models that are NOT compatible with the latest version of Procreate include: iPad 1 to 4, iPad Mini 1 to 3, and iPad Air 1.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n How much does Procreate cost? Procreate costs a one-time fee of $9.99 when purchased from the Apple App Store. That’s all you need to pay to use the application personally or professionally. There’s no subscription fee or additional costs required.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes, it can. Although Procreate doesn’t look like most photo editing apps on your phone, it does have the potential to do many things they do, with even higher quality and more customization. Procreate is capable of: Cropping, resizing and rotating the canvas.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Procreate is used by professional artists and illustrators, especially freelancers and those who have more creative control over their work. Photoshop is still the industry standard for many companies looking to hire artists, but Procreate is increasingly being used in professional settings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n How much does Procreate cost? Procreate is available for US $9.99, exclusively on the App Store.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Historically apps running on iPad were limited in RAM due to a reserve needed for background apps and tasks, so when Apple opened up more RAM to developers this month it was a big deal. For Procreate this means a significant boost in extra layers for iPads with 8GB RAM or more .\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Procreate does not need the internet or WiFi to work on an iPad. You can use all of Procreates features to their full capacities while offline. Procreate only needs access to the internet when updating or sharing files.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n With Procreate, my file sizes can range from 20MB for simple line sketches (above) to 200-300MB for 4K or A4 300 DPI canvas with multiple layers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You do not need a stylus to use Procreate. You can use your finger to draw with Procreate because the brush weight is determined within the program and not by the size of the stylus. The great thing about Procreate is that it gives you a lot of options. Use a stylus, use your finger, whatever you prefer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The only drawing feature the Pro Stylus lacks is pressure sensitivity. In contrast, Apple’s Pencil draws a darker or heavier line when you press harder. Some other styluses, such as the Adonit Pixel, replicate pressure sensitivity with specific apps, but none offer it system-wide.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Fresco is a newer app than Procreate, released to iPad in 2019. The application is already a direct competitor, super powerful with the tools provided, and a gamechanger in the industry. Fresco is powerful because of its versatile ability to work in both vector and pixel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Procreate, on the other hand, has no free version or free trial. You need to purchase the app first before you can use it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n We happen to know a great design software that is free and comes with intuitive drawing capabilities and professional-level tools that work perfectly with the Apple Pencil. And, sure, we’re a bit biased, but Vectornator is genuinely a great alternative to Procreate and Photoshop.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It requires iPadOS 14.4 or newer and is supported on the following devices: 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation) 11-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation) In this regard, which iPad should I buy for Procreate?
