What Is Procreate?

Procreate is an award-winning illustration, sketching, and painting app made exclusively for iPad.

For the many illustrators, designers and artists who rely on Procreate, the responsiveness of the app, particularly when used with an Apple Pencil, makes it feel very similar to making art on paper. That “natural” feeling, combined with the wide variety of Procreate brushes (plus the ability to customize and add more) have tipped the scales in the app’s favor, even among veteran commercial and fine artists.

Many have been willing to move beyond analog art tools or old-school digital drawing tablets tethered to desktop computers, all in favor of the ease, flexibility, portability, and newfound inspiration provided by Procreate for iPad.

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.

Tip #9: Use StreamLine for Brush Lettering

Many lettering artists rely on Procreate to create stunning typography designs. Procreate’s extensive brush library and tools translate very well when applied to calligraphy or hand drawn lettering. Mockup via blackzheep. When first testing out some brushes, you may notice that your curves appear wobbly and uneven. To fix this, click on a brush from the Brush Library and select the Stroke tab at the bottom. Use the slider to adjust the percentage of StreamLine. I typically settle around 75-80% when using the StreamLine function; too much of it can constrict your curves and letters.

Tip #5: Learn the Recolor Methods

When using Procreate, there will be times where you will need to recolor a single shape or an entire layer. The ColorDrop technique is great for recoloring a few shapes, while the Alpha Lock Fill Layer method works great for recoloring an entire layer. Mockup via blackzheep. To use the ColorDrop method, select the layer that you’re working with and click and drag the color circle to the shape you’d like to recolor. The new hue will fill in the boundaries of your shape, like seen above. This method only works if your illustration is completely closed off; using this technique on an open shape will fill the entire layer with the selected hue. Mockup via blackzheep. When working with a more complex composition, using the Alpha Lock Fill Layer command is a much quicker way to go. Instead of dragging the ColorDrop onto each line, shape, or letter, you can change the entire layer’s colors in one fell swoop. Go to the layer you’d like to edit, then click on its thumbnail and select Alpha Lock
