In November, the 5.2 update introduced some fantastic new tools, including 3D model painting, stroke stabilisation, page assist, and the ability to view 3D models in AR (see our reviewer using the tools in the photo above). And since 2019, there's been a dedicated iPhone version named Procreate Pocket. Procreate has full support for both first- and second-generation Apple Pencils, depending on your iPad model. Added palm support means you no longer have to worry about accidentally drawing over your canvas, and an ever-growing library of Procreate brushes will help you add flair to your artwork. Our testing found that the easy-to-use layout is packed with features artists will love, from true-to-life pencils and inks to advanced layer compositing and unique digital tools. What started out as a basic drawing app back in 2010 has transformed over the years into a highly professional tool so much so, it's even bagged itself a couple of Apple Design Awards.
If it’s a painting app for iPad you’re looking for, we highly rate Procreate.
