If you don&#8217;t you could end up really frustrated. Whether you&#8217;re just learning the basics of art, or you&#8217;ve been an artist for many years, learning a new type of software can be challenging.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Correspondingly, how <strong>hard<\/strong> is it to use <strong>Procreate<\/strong>? This app is specifically designed for professionals. But if you are a beginner, then do not worry as this app is quite easy to <strong>use<\/strong>. You can still create your beautiful piece of art digitally by using the default brushes. You can also download free Procreate brushes that some other artist has made.<\/p>\n<p>Also, how long does it take to learn Procreate? How long before I get the basics down? It took me around two weeks to get acquainted with the main features of the drawing app, and another two weeks to pick up speed and increase self-confidence.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, do you have to be good at drawing to use Procreate? If you can&#8217;t draw, you can still <strong>use<\/strong> <strong>Procreate<\/strong>. In fact, Procreate is a great platform for learning how to improve your drawing skills. <strong>Procreate<\/strong> is well suited for artists of all levels, from beginners to expert users. If you&#8217;re a beginner, the program will grow with you.<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, how do you use Procreate for beginners? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9YuqNLz5AUs\"><\/iframe>Procreate is a powerful and intuitive digital illustration app available for iPad. Overall, Photoshop is the better program among the two. While <strong>Procreate<\/strong> has astounded users year after year for its incredible illustration capabilities, Adobe Photoshop is our overall winner.<\/p>\n<h2>Is an iPad worth it for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re serious about learning digital art, it is worth it to buy an iPad for Procreate. While the iPad Pro is the best choice for Procreate, as long as your iPad is running iPadOS 13.2 or newer, you can save money by buying used or older iPads in order to use Procreate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Procreate good for beginners?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate IS great for beginners, but it&#8217;s even more great with a strong foundation. If you don&#8217;t you could end up really frustrated. Whether you&#8217;re just learning the basics of art, or you&#8217;ve been an artist for many years, learning a new type of software can be challenging.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do you need a Apple Pencil for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>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<h2>What app is most similar to Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ArtRage.<\/li>\n<li>PaintTool SAI.<\/li>\n<li>Krita.<\/li>\n<li>Sketchbook.<\/li>\n<li>Clip Studio Paint.<\/li>\n<li>Painter.<\/li>\n<li>Adobe Fresco.<\/li>\n<li>MyPaint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is using Procreate cheating?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not cheating; the tools are different, but the fact remains that any tool or program is useless to anyone without the skill to use it. Using Procreate (or Krita, PS, whatever) doesn&#8217;t automatically turn a person into a talented artist.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is tracing on Procreate cheating?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Why It&#8217;s Not Cheating To Trace. As I mentioned before, many artists throughout history have used some form of tracing to create works. Many artists today also use tracing as part of the process of creating \u2013 more than you may realize. Clearly, these artists do not feel that it&#8217;s cheating to trace.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I use Procreate on my iPad for beginners?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vXG-Un_9BHw\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you make 3D models in Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Using simple, familiar tools, artists have been able to create impressive works of graphic art, complex animations, and illustrations ready for import into Photoshop and After Effects. Now, with the new 2.7 update, 3D models can be easily brought into Procreate for detail and painting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How much does Procreate cost?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate is available for US $9.99, exclusively on the App Store.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What tools do you need for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Basics. Paint, Smudge and Erase are the essential tools of Procreate. Located on the top right of the interface, Paint, Smudge, and Erase all share the same Brush Library, and all work the same way. Tap the icon of the tool you want to use &#8211; the brush for Paint, the finger for Smudge, and the eraser for Erase.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is Vectornator better than Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;re a bit biased, but Vectornator is genuinely a great alternative to Procreate and Photoshop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can Procreate edit photos?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it can. Although Procreate doesn&#8217;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<h2>Is Procreate used professionally?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>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<h2>Why is Procreate so popular?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The app itself lures people in for many reasons, but the top reason is accessibility. Unlike Photoshop, Procreate is available on any iOS device. The app offers many tools you can use to create a work of art only you can create.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can I get Procreate for free?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The basic version is free and gives you access to more or less all of the most important features on the app. If you choose to upgrade to Pro, it&#8217;ll cost you only $1.99. It&#8217;s for Apple phones and devices only.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How many GB do you need for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s find out. 32gb iPads will have enough storage for the typical Procreate artist who does not store a lot of additional files on their device. Those who plan to store a large amount of photos and videos on their iPads in addition to a large gallery of Procreate art may want to consider the higher capacity options.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why do I have to press so hard with my Apple Pencil on Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Apple Pencil has a huge dynamic range. This means you have to press it down very hard to reach 100% pressure or opacity. If you draw with a lighter touch may find you can&#8217;t enjoy the Pencil&#8217;s full range of sensitivity using default settings.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Do you have to pay monthly for Procreate?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate is $9.99 to download. There&#8217;s no subscription or renewal fee. You pay for the app once and that&#8217;s it. If you are already using an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, that&#8217;s a pretty enticing deal.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How much does Procreate cost on iPad?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Procreate for iPad App Available in 13 languages, Procreate for iPad costs $9.99 in the U.S. Apple App Store.

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><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Procreate IS great for beginners, but it&#8217;s even more great with a strong foundation.
