The suite of art apps available for the iPad is impressive, affordable, and improves all the time. No secret here, but I am a HUGE fan of the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil and what it can can do for a person’s creativity. So if you have a CC subscription and had an iOS device and didn’t understand the other options you had like the aforementioned apps, then I guess I could understand using this. Of course they design the app so this pretty much has to be a Creative Cloud app. Draw is essentially a vector-based scratchpad for jotting down quick ideas and then exporting them to a desktop application where you could do more work on them. Adobe Illustrator DrawĪdobe Illustrator Draw is another in Adobe’s line of extremely dumbed-down apps for iOS so they can say they actually develop for the platform. They want a laughable $3.99 a week, $4.99 a month, or $29.99 a year for an app that is kind of a novelty at best. The app was severely hamstrung when it was changed into a subscription model to use the full features of the app. The result being a really clever little app that has virtually no barrier of entry for simple graphic design. But to be fair, it is a professional level design app that can do a hell of a lot more than Procreate.Īssembly was built on a neat idea: have a vector design app where the shapes were already pre-created and users just picked and manipulated an extensive list of objects to create their design. The app though, to be sure, can be complicated, and is certainly not as intuitive as something like Procreate. I think they’ve largely found many innovative was of solving these types of problems. A vector app like Designer can do A LOT, the program needs to not make you toggle down into endless menu windows to find what you are trying to do. Where the Affinity suite of software really shines is modern user interfaces designed for simplicity and ease of use. They are quickly becoming many artists and graphic designers alternative to the expensive Adobe Creative Cloud as they are pay-one-time applications and are very reasonably priced for apps that are so fully-featured and capable.Īffinity Designer is akin to Adobe Illustrator, it is a complex and quality vector-based application. The Affinity suite of apps from Serif are incredibly impressive and seem to get more so all the time. $19.99 | Developer Website | Official Tutorials If you want to say hi where I’ll see it, leave me a comment below. So back to sketching and working on new things to share on this art journey of mine. Hell, I’ve even deleted my social media apps from my devices to make it just a little bit harder for me to check back in on the roaring tide of…nothing much at all. Let the site autopost the links and just forget about it. I’d just much rather sketch and finish stuff and post it on my blog where it exists for longer than the 15 seconds of spotlight you get on social media in the hopes of grabbing a few precious “likes” so you can tell yourself you’re good enough. If you start feeling that you aren’t doing good enough, remember, you are, and maybe it’s just time to take a break from the never-ending timelines of margaritas and masterpieces (new band name). We start to think that maybe everyone else can just hammer these amazing pieces of art on the daily, but it’s a curated image. We have to remember, people aren’t sharing all the pages and pages of sketchbooks before showing that finished piece. But there comes a time when instead of getting inspired, we’re just feeling like we’re not measuring up. It can be a lot of fun to converse with talented people and cheer them on. One of the hardest things we have to do in terms of our digital content intake these days is decide when it’s taking too much of our time and energy away from the things we really want to be doing.Ĭertainly, for creative people, it can be invigorating to see all the other work that other artists are doing.
