❗READ THIS FIRST ❗

Hello there! I’ve noticed the recent feedback and backlash in the comments, and I felt it was important to clarify a few things about the video:

I acknowledge that I got a lot of things wrong about Procreate. This video was supposed to be about my first time using the app and testing it out because I’ve heard so much positive reception about it! Inevitably, I missed out on many features. The title may come across as a bit harsh, but it reflected the general question I had throughout: "With so many people using it, is it really that good?"

And the answer to that question is: Yes, it is!

Thank you to everyone who corrected me and shared helpful art tips for Procreate—I’ve been testing them out! For example, you can use the fill bucket tool on a different layer by switching the mode to ‘reference, ’ so thank you for explaining that guys. I’m also aware now that there’s a reference tool and a brush history in Procreate. These weren’t mentioned in the video, and, admittedly, in hindsight, that was a poor decision on my part. Procreate has so many great features, like the brush size presets, 3D models, better brush customizations, and many other things I didn’t cover in the video. I've been trying to use it a lot more. So, no, I don’t think Procreate is overrated.

For beginners looking for a good introduction to digital art, Ibis Paint is a great app! It has a lot of fantastic features if you look past the funky UI and the many ads. There’s a reason why so many artists are able to create masterpieces on it. Yes, in many aspects, it falls short compared to Procreate. I didn’t mean to come off as biased toward Ibis Paint—I was just trying to share some love for it..

The reason I suggested testing out Ibis Paint before Procreate is that I believe building up your art skills makes a difference! I WASN'T saying Procreate is BAD or that you SHOULDN'T buy it. I was suggesting that you might want to consider purchasing it after building up your skills! Think of it like buying cheap versus expensive color pencils. If you don’t know how to use color pencils, you won’t get much out of the expensive ones. But of course, you can always develop your skills while ALSO using Procreate :> So, do what works for you, guys—you don’t always have to take my word for it. I’m just trying to look out for you all! <3

To my Ibis Paint users: I’m so sorry for saying there isn’t an undo/redo button on the app. It turns out the setting was disabled for me for some reason...(very embarrassing smh 😞)

Once again, I apologize for the dogpile of mistakes I made (me being an idiot as always ykyk). I’m still new to this content creation thing, after so I’ll take this as a learning experience and make sure I don’t repeat these mistakes in the future. I didn’t mean to start a war in the comments. 😭😭

I hope this clears everything up. Have a nice day guys, let's end this with a fun question!

Who's your favourite art youtuber? mine's Viyaura :>> js watched her vid an hour ago (early gang nyeheheheh)

3:45 as a procreate user there is an easy way to fix this. 1: go to ur lineart layer then click it and there should be an option called “reference” click that then do another layer underneath and fill and if you lineart is full and connected you can just fill it

[Nevamore]

If you think procreate is overrated you either don’t know the basic mechanics of a drawing app or even how to use one, or you’ve only ever used apps like sketch or ibis paint, and you don’t have to click 3 buttons to select anything, that’s just misinformation, you click on the select tool and you use it like any other drawing program, a lot of these cons are just things going wrong on your end rather than it actually being an issue, I’ve had the app for about 2 years and rarely had any issues, like you can also do the bucket tool thing in procreate just like in ibis paint, it seems your only reference is ibis paint and you’re just dooming yourself by comparing something since there is a clear bias, I recommend watching YouTube videos to see what you can and can’t do since it’d tell you all the things you’re missing in the video

[anajuliamurillosarabia]

3:50 You actually can fill things in another layer, you just have to click on the layer you want to fill and then you click “reference” and then you fill inside and it will work! :3

Procreate glazer here🙋🏾‍♀️ After seeing the comments this video makes way more sense. I’m so used to procreate when I try to go back to ibs paint it’s so difficult because changing the opacity on the eraser doesn’t work the same as in procreate. I hate sketching in ibs paint but other than that it’s a great alternative! I’m just so used to procreate I could never go back 😢

[something_bfdi]

“Underrated” you don’t understand how much people use ibis okay😭

[DarkXWoIf]

3:50 if you set the layer you want to fill to a reference layer, you can fill it on a different layer just like ibispaint

[Eden-hp]

1:05 About the brushes: You can make your own brushes and import some
1:24 adjustment layers: on the layers tab click on the N and scroll
liquify: the magic wand at the bottom
selection tool: the arrow
1:58 shortcut: if you wanna fullscreen 4 fingers
2:54 I actually didn’t know you can change the mode but that’s rlly cool
3:21 you clicked fill color so idk what you were expecting
ANYWAYS IM DONE TYPING BUT NO LIKES

[deztoney]

wait im confused, ibis does have the same finger tap shortcuts

[Frostybreeeeze]

6:15
I am a procreate user and they have a brush history and a reference option under the canvas tab.

[Kandi.Starzz]

3:46
u could make the line art layer a reference layer and anything below it if u use the bucket tool it will stay in the bounds of the line art

[artblockkk]

I personally use ibispaint cuz im too broke for procreate lmao😭😭

[trixieismynickname]

i'm sure other people have commented about this, but you can set the lineart layer to "reference" by clicking it in the layer menu, then you can colordrop in other layers

[June_AZS]

YOU CAN USE THE SHORT-CUTS IN IBISPAINT TOOO PLEASEE 😭😭 IF YOU ACESSES THE SETTINGS YOU CAN TURN IT OFF AND ON.

[milktea]

Procreate user here procreate does have a photo reference tool and they do have an automatic fill tool if you select the layer turn it into a reference you can fill it in with the paint bucket this can be very convenient if your smart with your layers

[roguesriot]

also, i think the hidden layer may be useful if you wanna trace yourself for a pose and stuff in case you dont want people to see your face in your speedpaints

[aincrix]

Perhaps why alot of artists choose over procreate is the fact you can make your own custom brush to make works easier, and give more texture i think. Cuz ibispaint is limited to making your own pattern of brushes for that. (Though, i still prefer ibispaint cuz im an android user, and even i was an ipad user, meh-)

[pancakepanther]

Personally, i use both ibis and procreate 😅 but i mainly use procreate but when i want a change i choose ibis so i love both! :D

[Amanecer]

Honestly i abandoned ibis paint when i afford procreate, the interface was so uncomfortable and watch adds became so anoying.

[mjserrano]

HELP IM A PROCREATE USEF AND THOUGHT EVERYBODY USED IBIS ?? 😭😭 THIS IS INSANE HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS
