Description
*Blows off layers of dust and sweeps away the cobwebs*recently convinced me to give Procreate another try, and in doing so I finally found a brush setting I jive with.
So here's a random falcon portrait, painted from memory. It's not supposed to be any species in particular

oooo wow! That's really impressive! How does it feel to draw on an iPad though, is it as smooth as drawing on an art-specific graphics tablet? Did you use an Apple Pencil for it? I've lately been bombarded by so many artists who say they've made the jump to drawing on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil and how it has now become their main drawing device, so I've been considering getting one :'D do you recommend it after you gave it another go?

Yeah, I use an apple pencil and ipad pro. I really enjoy it, I would recommend it for digital artists who want their art tools on the go. All the art tools at my fingertips for the weight of one ipad plus stylus, definitely beats carrying around my sketchbooks plus pencil case plus watercolors plus brushes...
I like Medibang Paint and Procreate for art. Medibang is like portable Paint Tool Sai, and I kept hearing and seeing people rave about Procreate - though honestly I didn't find it as immediately intuitive as I would have liked. None of the default brush settings felt right in my hands, and modifying them to my tastes wasn't immediately intuitive either.Β
I've tried various other art apps, and Clip Studio seemed really nice except for the monthly subscription, that was an instant no. The adobe apps for ipad are really sad, I would not recommend them at all. Artstudio Pro is a good substitute for photoshop, at least in that you can import and export PSDs and brushes from photoshop.
As for the overall drawing experience on ipad, it's really nice, I like it! Zooming in and rotating by finger gestures came pretty easy, and working without keyboard shortcuts gets a little disorienting at times (hence the importance of an intuitive app) though that's something I got used to fairly quickly.

Oh friend, may I ask for some advice? Do you own the iPad Pro 11 inch or 12.9 inch?
I've seriously been considering getting one, but I don't know which size is more suitable for me :'D
Which one do you own, and how did you choose yours? Do you ever regret not getting the size that you didn't get?
I keep hearing reviews online that artists should get the 12.9 inch, but then again I'm used to using an iPad mini so idk if it will be too big to carry around. I did go to the Apple Store to test both out, yet I still can't seem to make up my mind :'D (plus I heard that with a case it gets significantly heavier, so seeing the iPads on display in the store without a case is actually inaccurate to how you would actually use it when you get one)

I got the smaller one, the more "standard" size tablet. I did so because a) it was significantly cheaper, and b) the original intention for me getting an ipad was to have digital art on the go, and the bigger ipad, though glorious to draw on (I bet), was way too big to fit into any of my go-to day bags.
Sometimes I do regret not getting the bigger one, whenever I see friends with one, drawing on it and rocking the bigger surface area. But when I pull it out wherever from my small, lightweight bags, I don't regret at all

Oooo that's very helpful! So when you doΒ draw on yours, do you ever feel like the screen size in any way hinders your process or workflow? Or do you hardly notice it at all once you start drawing? And do you use an iPad case?

O.O omg thank you for such a detailed reply! You've pretty much answered all the questions I had in mind :'D
I've heard so much about procreate lately (it seems to be all over youtube when you look up 'ipad pro drawing'), but not so much about Medibang and the other apps you mentioned; they're mentioned in passing but everyone seems to be going crazy over Procreate so I didn't get the chance to check those other apps out yet. I'm not a SAI user (tried it, didn't really like it ;w; ) so if Medibang is more like SAI I might have to pass, I saw Clip Studio mentioned a few times, checked it out and I like their interface, but like you said, the monthly subscription is a no-go for me too ;; I don't think the name Artstudio Pro even came up for me before you mentioned it (I've heard of Clip Studio and the rest you mentioned), so I'll definitely check that one out, thank you! Ideally I'd love to be able to have the tools I'm used to on Photoshop at my disposal, so being able to import brushes from PS sounds downright amazing ;;
I don't currently own an iPad Pro, but I'm starting to get very itchy to get one after all the good things I've heard lol I originally got my first iPad back in 2010 or 2011, with the hopes that it would become my portable digital art workstation (after watching some review videos on youtube of people drawing on their iPads saying it's great), but alas it was too early back in the days and I soon found out that it's not just the need for the tool to be portable, but the software needs to cater to your workflow too, and it simply didn't do that back then (no pen pressure, the stylus is a giant thick rubber dome so it's like drawing with a finger, the Apps had really minimum functions and barely supported multiple layers, no fill tool, no brush choices except a few default ones, etc), so spending triple the amount of time and effort to do the same thing that you could have done on photoshop if you just waited to get back to your computer, made it really frustrating to draw on the ipad for me and I dreaded it ;; and because of that first impression I have actually given up on iPads ever being a portable art station and mostly use mine for media consumption (I switched to a mini for portability), so hearing all the buzz about the iPad Pro being a tool for artists actually made me skeptical for the longest time because I thought it was the same thing all over again, so I didn't even bother to check it out until now :'D but hearing it from not only a fellow artist, but from a friend whose art I watch and whose judgement I trust more than random strangers on youtube, has given me extreme confidence in this tool now x'D so thank you friend, this has been super helpful! I think I might really want to get an iPad Pro soon lol
