Two of the best drawing and painting apps for iPad (Paid)

Two of the best drawing and painting apps for iPad (Paid)


Procreate
Procreate is an outstanding drawing and painting app created by Savage Interactive. The app is available for $5.99, the price is debatably high, but the application is well worth the money because of the extensive features which allow you to conjure the perfect piece of artwork. Procreate comes with a large selection of pens, pencils, brushes, and also various textured brushes. Furthermore, Procreate gives you the ability to create custom brushes to fit every artistic need you have. One of the few things that I dislike about the program is that there are no shape tools such as a straight line, circle, or square tool which allow for perfect lines or shapes. All in all, I rank Procreate as being one the best drawing applications available for download on the iPad.  



Sketchbook Pro

Sketchbook Pro is a magnificent drawing and painting app created by AutoDesk, who is well-known for CAD programs. Sketchbook Pro is available on the App Store for $4.99. Although the price may seem high for an app, this application is definitely worth every last dime. Sketchbook Pro comes equipped with a full arsenal of brushes, pencils with different softnesses, and other textured brushes. One feature that sets Sketchbook Pro apart from the others is the ability to record the screen and create a timelapse of you actually drawing your drawing. The one problem I have with the app is that you can only have six layers for each drawing. This really limits the potential for each piece of artwork because you can only draw so much before you run out of layers. Along with Sketchbook Pro, Autodesk released Sketchbook Express which is sort of a demo version of Sketchbook Pro, that allows you to test the app before purchasing it. Sketchbook Express is available for free, but it does limit your selection of brushes and your are only allowed three layers per drawing.
