I have been using Sketchbook for I think 2 years now, and I hardly see anyone use it, and it hurts me so much.

[bobans]

Not a fair comparison, showing the most beautiful and amazing art with Procreate and then showing the most basic sketching with Sketchbook. Seems kind of biased to me!

[teepeepictures]

Wow, that was an unexpected victory.
I use Sketchbook and my wife uses procreate. My impressions of procreate are that it has a slightly steeper learning curve but more useful features. both apps definitely work for whatever you need them to do though.
It occurs to me that I viewed procreate more positively because my workflow involves a lot of photo editing techniques. It is still illustration but with a little bit of a crutch to help with the limitation of using a cell phone. me and my wife would always compete with each other about our two programs but watching this video made me realize that I am doing the things that procreate is good at with Sketchbook and my wife is doing the things that sketchbook is good at with procreate.

I've used Sketchbook for a few years now, and can do anything with it that I can do with traditional paints or inks.
And so far, haven't had any bugs or locking up with it.

I'm currently using it on a Samsung Tab S8 plus, BTW.
( It's like having an electronic version of the paper sketchbooks that I used for decades. )

[emilianosolis]

I just got my first iPad and I’ve always wanted to sketch with it and I began to like Sketchbook more than Procreate

[mostafafarweez]

I like this video. I've been using Sketchbook for a long time and wish I could use Procreate for a change because my iapd is obsolete :)

[daidnz]

Thanks. Very good comparison. I started to watch at least 3 other videos before I got to yours which told me everything I needed to know.

I really dislike the fact that Procreate only cater to iOS devices. There's something smug and amateur about it because they should very easily be able to make it hardware and platform agnostic.

It's almost like they're signalling the idea that to make great ("cool") art requires Apple hardware, which of course, is an archaic and now outdated cliche that was the norm 10 years ago.

[feathersketch]

I’ve used both, and to me Procreate wins. Sketchbook is nice, but the tools feel like they’re designed for a person that just wants to do art as a hobby. I don’t really like how “fuzzy” the brushes looked on the canvas, but alas I’ve never tried the premium brush pack.

[richiee]

If sketchbook would include paint dropper tool, easier shape creation (like lines and circles), and stabilization on brushes. It would really be a great competition for procreate.

[fyahssab]

Thanks for this but I use both. Procreate for certain artwork and sketch for others. I love both.

[Dungeonbeatz]

Sketchbook is my go to always super easy editing n designing

[brownbearedurardo]

I used Autodesk Sketchbook since 2017 on my laptop before I switched to Procreate on my iPad
last 2023. Sketchbook, in my opinion, is a good and free digital art software for beginners but the limitations are the stabilization and less features who wanted to try digital art while Procreate is also great in terms of features and it is one-time payment, meaning it was worth it unlike Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, which you will pay per month or a year but the limitations is that it is only available on iPad devices, which is expensive.

[MikaelaMaverix]

Very informative and well done video and I appreciate the unbiased comparison. I was searching for a video that could possibly point out what is "wrong" with Sketchbook and why it is not recommended more often. I personally have not experienced any of the issues mentioned with it. I will go with Sketchbook since I already work on Android and I don't really need another tablet atm.

[Rin_Killian]

I used both as well and I prefer Procreate as many people have said already

[DrawnInk]

I use both, both are very good, I edge towards Procreate because it’s easier to export to Photoshop.

[dwaugh]

I have sketchbook and been using it for sometime, but saving up for procreate and thought to use both

[Yiyan]

Anyone find the predictable stroke is a bit irritating on Sketchbook sometimes! Haven’t tried procreate yet but from vids I’ve seen it seems way smoother

[matatoto]

iOS users will say PC is better cause it’s not on Android devices, while Android users can’t test procreate so their opinion is irrelevant really. Sketchbook is pretty much as powerful as PC; it’s even more versatile since you can continue your proyects on other platforms like Windows or Macs.

The narrator does an excellent job of comparing these two programs. I've used Procreate, though not to any great extent. I haven't used Sketchbook, but thanks to this video I'll be giving it a try.

I'll add only one thing: I'm sorry to say it, but the narrator's vocal fry is difficult to listen to. After a while I started wanting to clear my own throat. I wish there were a voice filter that would let us change the sound of a narrator's voice. Maybe that will be a future AI feature.
