Procreate vs Autodesk Sketch up

Mistry10

I'm looking into a good drawing / sketch app for iPad.

These two seem the best:
Procreate
Autodesk sketchup pro - edited: sketchbook pro

Just wondering what everyone else's exp with them is.

You mean; Autodesk Sketchbook Pro not Sketchup As in Google Sketchup?

You can technically download it for free from the autodesk student website along with other tools they have.

My experience; Autodesk Sketchbook pro is a good concept art tool if you are just starting out, along with many other cheap or free concept art tools / image editing tools such as, Gimp, Paint tool Sai, Art Rage, etc.

So if you are starting out and want to use Sketchbook pro for ipad, by all means sir, it is a decent starting point.

For $50, I really like Art Rage. It has it's limitations but it really depends on what you plan to be doing if they will even bother you or not. I really like the brushes and the pallets, it feels a lot more like traditional drawing and painting. I also really like Paint Symmetry.

ArtRage on iPad is $5. The full desktop is $50 and it's great.

I really like Sketch Club on the iPad. I heard it was made by some ArenaNet peeps.

Sketchbook Ink is slick too. It's all vector based.

Those are all great. I put them all on appshopper and wait for them to do a sale.

The apps are so cheap on the iPad, you can pretty much buy all the best ones and it won't break the bank. I currently have Sketchbook Pro, Procreate, Inkpad and Adobe Ideas.

They all have their good points.

For painting, Procreate works best for me. For graphic vector work, the nod goes to Inkpad.

It really just depends on what you want to do.

Yea but then you are sketching on a iPad with no pressure sensitivity?

Jeff Parrott

Yeah and a crayon sized stylus!

Seriously though I tried all the apps. They're neat. But man nothing beats just a pencil and paper. Carry a small sketch book. The 3DS has a slightly better painting program called Colors! The stylus is a bit more precise at least.

While the screen itself doesn't have much in the way of sensitivity a quality stylus like the Nomad or the GoSmart (I have both) goes a long way to overcoming this...you really don't notice much with all the stroke types that are available and custom ones you can make.

Krita is another free option that I like using. I don't know how it compares to paid apps though, simply because I don't have much experience with them.

SHEPEIRO

yeah i quite like krita... though i had afew issues with wacom drives and a pen offset that needed the drivers resetting to get it to work

has anyone had good experience with any android sketching apps, recently got a nexus7 and a stylus for it.

I have Sketchbook Pro for Android. Works fine passerby on a nexus tablet. Don't have a stylus so really cant tell you.

Its crap on a phone though.

ArtStudio is my favorite iPad drawing app. I guess because it's the most feature rich and Desktop like.
