Are You Still Using Procreate? You Need to Watch This!
Рет қаралды 144,087
Күн бұрынAs a professional illustrator that has worked with clients like Cartoon Network, Nike, Google, and countless others-I do the majority of my work in Adobe Fresco. Want to know why I prefer it over the seemingly more popular iPad drawing app, Procreate? If so, this is the video for you.
Cliff notes: Adobe Fresco incorporates Vector and Raster workflows, it has AMAZING and easy to use motion features far beyond what you can do in Procreate (and in some ways Procreate Dreams) + the Creative Cloud integration makes my workflow with client projects so simple.
There's a bunch of other stuff too, like multicolor swatches, live brushes, auto-color palettes and perspective grids and MORE.

I use both Procreate and Fresco. It's a bit of an awkward workflow, but I like the quickness of Procreate for sketches. It's easy to just pull up a canvas and sketch out an idea in Procreate. I'm probably just more used to the layout, but the interface is really easy to use for drawing. I'll then save the file as a pdf and send it to Fresco where I'll use Vector brushes to ink it. When I want to do my best line work though I use Clip Studio Paint. Its brush engine is just superior to any other program I've used. For commercial stuff I always finish it in CSP, and if it needs to be vectorized, I'll do an image trace of my line work.
@GodisGood941 5 ай бұрын
So would you say that its impossible to get the same level of quality in procreate vs csp or fresco?
@zendragon6 5 ай бұрын
@@GodisGood941 not at all. I think they each have their advantages. I like the modifier tool in Fresco. It makes a lot of sense, especially for Vector work. I like CSP's brush engine the best. It feels the most natural to how I draw and ink. But I primarily do graphic style ink work. For painterly work, I haven't really explored the differences between the three of them to make a judgement. But Procreate is by far the easiest "get out of your way and just draw/paint" interface between the three of them. I will say, the layers limitation can be annoying, where CSP handles many more layers without issue. For a very large piece for print, CSP or Fresco are going to be much better due to the lesser limitations and the ability to scale vectors.

Yep, gotta agree on the smoothing bit. I tried recreating a handwritten logo sketch in Procreate and spent upwards of half an hour trying to get the brush dynamics to give me the same flow that Fresco's vector brush with tapering on both sides has. They seem to have smoothing locked in better whereas Procreate gives almost too much customization which makes it harder to get right.

I end up using 5 or 6 apps. VectorizeAI is better than auto trace, Affinity Designer is better for live pattern editing, sketching is better in Procreate. Illustrator is great but I prefer working on an iPad that sitting at a computer desk. So I tried Fresco I love the vector drawing and ability to trim and send files to Illustrator I may have to switch.

Unrelated but Vector Magic is the absolute king of auto-trace. It has a hefty pricetag though and if you're only using it to vectorize your art, may as well go with Fresco. Designer sure is a beautiful software for some things, I really love their efforts though it's obviously not yet there, having a much smaller team than AI's (pun intended seeing the new shennanigans Adobe is pulling with their Terms of Service.. ugh). Brand loyalty should not be a thing, or at least be rational. Use what you end up liking most, and have most fun with

I just downloaded FR and I am a HUGE lover of Procreate dreams and procreate, I downloaded this today because I have all of the adobe programs and though "hey if I have all the programs and this can make workflow better between all of them I am going to give it a shot!" I will let yea know how it goes!

The fact that fresco has motion paths (which is something I’ve asked for procreate dreams) is enough to get me to download it.

I am trying to get into drawing again, and Procreate has been sort of frustrating for me. I haven’t been opening the app as much as I’d like to say I have been. I was an Adobe suite user way back in the ol college days, and after watching this video I think Fresco sounds like it’ll work better with my previous knowledge. I just downloaded it and I’m excited to try it out! Thank you for this informative and well thought out video. I’m sorry to hear that you catch a lot of flack from some, but equally I admire how you seem to process it through humor. I look forward to learning more from you about Fresco!

Serious question. Can you take vectors you have created elsewhere (like in illustrator) and bring them into Fresco so you can animate them?
@razrv3lc 5 ай бұрын
Probably. One of the main draws of adobe back when I had a subscription in like 2018 was the interconnectivity of the different programs.
@NICK43000 5 ай бұрын
I understand your point and i guess you are right. Especially for Professionals like you. I think for the most people works Procreate still well. Its easy to learn and maybe better for beginners. The most features you speak about are not that important for people who want to draw from time to time.

Or do i need to get a ipad to be able to these apps?

Very good video. You have me convinced. As someone who started out art with vectors it's definitely a feature I think I would be a ble to use in the future, and all that other stuff you mentioned too is something I either had gripes with Procreate or just straight up something I've been missing out on. Will definitely be giving it a try sometimes in the future.

Other than Procreate I love ArtStudio Pro. It has a lot of the stuff Procreate is missing like adjustment layers. You can import .abr brushes and unlike in Procreate the brushes work like they’re supposed to. Also ArtStudio Pro’s new pigment engine allows you to paint like you would in real life, mixing different colors together to make new ones.

I'm going to try Fresco; you had me at the animation features. I started in Procreate and often struggled with adding little things in the background. It was unsatisfying, and I believe it hindered my creative potential due to the awkwardness of including elements afterward. I was excited about Dreams, but my workflow heavily relies on reference layers and the selection tool, making my first experience challenging. Also, managing the timeline and moving multiple elements is something I'm struggling with. Perhaps with future updates, I'll revisit Dreams, as the features in your videos align with what I'm currently seeking for smaller animations. So thanks!
