Essential Hardware For Using Procreate

What’s the best iPad for Procreate?

The latest version of the Procreate for iPad app is 4.2.1, and it requires an iPad running iOS 11.1 or newer. That means the latest version of Procreate can run on all five of the iPad models currently on sale from Apple: iPad Pro (12.9-in., 11-in., and 10.5-in. models), iPad (6th Generation, 2018) and iPad Mini 4.

Previous iPad models capable of running the latest version of Procreate are iPad Pro 9.7-in., iPad 5th Generation (2017), iPad Air, iPad Air 2, and iPad Mini 2 and 3. Older versions of Procreate run on many older iPad models.

To get the full, up-to-date Procreate experience, you’ll want to have one of the two iPad models that arrived in November 2018: the 12.9-in. or 11-in. iPad Pro. These two models are the only devices compatible with the new Apple Pencil.

Using Apple Pencil with Procreate

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) is essential equipment for using Procreate on the two new iPad Pros. Apple Pencil 2 will not pair with any iPads other than the two new Pro models. The original Apple Pencil can be used exclusively with older iPad Pros and the 2018 iPad (6th generation).

Apple Pencil 2 has a flat side that helps many artists grip the Pencil in a more precisely. It also features a double-tap function that truly distinguishes the new Pencil. In Procreate, you can double-tap Apple Pencil 2 to switch between brushes and erasers, move between layers, or navigate pop-up menus without leaving your canvas. Increase pressure on either Apple Pencil for thicker lines, and tilt it for shading — the organic, analog feel is central to the Procreate experience.

There are a variety of styluses (including your finger!) available for using Procreate on older iPads (and on the new ones, too, though it’s hard to beat the Apple Pencils). If you’re in the market, top-shelf British art and design magazine Creative Bloq recently published a guide to the best iPad styluses.
