An app that I have heard about but never used is called “Procreate”. Procreate is a drawing and digital art app that can build an individual’s illustration skills by creating sketches, paintings, illustrations and even animations. As intriguing as the application is, it can be daunting for someone that has never used a design app before with the number of features and creative tools available. However, the app has a good number of helpful tutorials a newbie can follow. Also, you only purchase it once and not weekly, monthly and yearly.

The downside of Procreate is that you need to use another program such as “Illustrator” to clean up your work or vectorize it. Not to mention you need to make sure your canvas size is big enough or everything appears pixelated. Lastly, brushes don’t bleed like a vectorized brush. Procreate sounds like the best app for me considering my field of interest. If the app doesn’t best suit me then I’ll use something else.
