Related: The 7 Ultimate Drawing Tablet Setups for Digital Artists There are over 100+ brushes already installed when you open the app and you can download and add custom brushes you find online – some are free and others cost money. Procreate BenefitsĪrtists of all skill levels will find that procreate allows for a digital illustration & painting process that is not only easy to learn, but incredibly intuitive (especially when using the apple pencil as a stylus) Possible accessories include extra pen nibs or a screen protector like this one (built specifically for iPads)Īlso Apple offers the option of a refund if you want your money back, just visit Apple support and go to ‘Billing & Subscriptions’, locate ‘Purchases’, then select ‘Request a refund’. Procreate costs money ($9.99), but it is a one-time purchase and you don’t need to worry about recurring fees or anything extra besides an Apple Pencil, iPad, and (optionally) some accessories. If your focus is the stylus pen, then you can see my comparison of the Apple pencil 2 vs the surface pen – I cover everything including the costs of each stylus and how drawing performs between the two. See the difference between the iPad vs Surface Pro for drawing. Note: The Apple Pencil competes with the Surface Pen & Surface pro combination for drawing – which end up being quite similar in costs when you purchase both microsoft devices. Popular free alternatives include sketchbook and Krita. Note: that there is no free trial on Procreate.
