I'm not even mad that it's a Procreate knock off, we have been asking for YEARS for a Android version of Procreate, even in their FAQ it's a common question, on which they say, so far no plans but we'l see.. which basically is another way of saying ''nah, but to stop your questions we're going to give you vague hope''. So Kudos to HiPaint for at least supporting Android Users

I can confirm that the brush lag and the funny animation effect when using watercolor brush are OnePlus-specific issues. On Samsung Tab S8 Plus, it's butter smooth

Mad respect with HiPaint devs. Just like Krita, an alternative to Photoshop but focusing on drawing only not image editing. Krita UI is similar to Photoshop which is easy to use.

I have an S6 Lite, and gave this a quick test. 5 minutes in and it is my favorite art app I have tried on it. Fairly smooth performance and has the stuff I want for doodling on breaks at work.

Just tried it for the first time, been using Sketchbook for years and am really over its limitations. *I've never used Procreate. I completed a 5min rough portrait and it was so flawless to create. So glad that this app exists!

I've always asked myself why Procreate doesn't want to bring itself to android 🤔 So it was just a matter of time until something like this would come 😀

I have a feeling that apple pays to procreate devs to not launch an Android version.

Now that you mentioned about HuionSketch, most of my artworks are done on that app and i loved it sooo much to the point where when the app didn't work anymore, i was so frustrated and annoyed. No other app made me so satisfied other than that and let me tell you this. HiPaint is LITERALLY HuionSketch. I guess they upgraded during the whole hiatus and funnily enough, i didnt realise how freaking similar huion sketch and procreate are until u mentioned it. So, thank you so much for reminding me about this app☺️

This app used to be Huion Sketch app and they took it down from the store and hand it over to a new developer team. They kept the UI. So hopefully they continue improving the app. So far they are responding to people's feedbacks. They released the app hush hush. Only know about it like awhile back in january from word of mouth.

Procreate is literally the only reason why i bought ipad at all, why the hell can’t anything on android just make an app that can support custom brushes

I got the drawing class a few days ago and have gotten up to day 10 so far but so far am loving it and is super useful and teaching me things I never would have thought of on my own. Absolutely worth the money!

After months and months of searching I finally decided to go with a Samsung Tab S8+, mainly because of your reviews. I love it and Clip Studio Paint is amazing. But there was always a tiny little voice in my head screaming for Procreate (because there are so many videos about it and looks so cool). And now we got it on Android?!?! Incredible! I'm downloading it right now =)) Have a nice week and thank you for another great video! =)

Maybe for your next tablet review, use hi paint and show a finished piece

honestly pretty impressed with the app, especially with the brushes and the reference tool, which i use a lot. its my second favourite implementation of references behind ibis paint x, which is still my go to app. i wish this new hi paint app includes text input (for comic writing and meme making), use of the button on the s pen to erase or toggle eraser (if they can do the thing where u hold it to erase like native samsung apps, that would be amazing), better timelapse tool (seems like it glitched in the video but they'll probably fix that), comic panel dividers (like ibis paint x and medibang paint), and lot more customization settings in general. looks pretty minimal/lacking for now, but im sure theyll add more. very excited to see how this develops

Dude it even simulates pressure when you draw with ur finger and press hard on the screen 😭✨ I'll see if that feature is on the ipad too or just android this is so cool

I personally use Ibis Paint X and LOVE it, but this app is definitely catching my interest. Especially the animation feature!

This is the smoothest drawing app I've ever had on my Huawei Matepad, and the mechanics and workflow is good too!

I love how his left hand is just completely still 2:38

Very glad some of your viewers nagged you to try it and even more glad you shared it with your subscribers. I like Tayasui Sketches but am looking forward to trying out this app for Android on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 FE.

I recently bought my tab 6 and just finished watching your video, am off to download and test it out

I was trying this one last week, and I thought it was great because I was trying to find a procreate-esque drawing app before I decided to pay for infinite paint. It was good, actually, but I think it's not as optimized as sketchbook or infinite painter, so I decided to ditch it for now. I hope it gets a substantial update. Anyways, good video!

I didn’t see you try out the Layer Modes or like Alpha Lock, Clipping Mask, Merge Layer, I would be curious to see how well the clone handles that stuff

Im sooo happy,I use procreate on my ipad pro but on my samsung s6 lite there was nothing as good to what I was looking for to procreatestyle experience,some close competitors and good art aps like infinite painter and clip studio.this app is exactly what I always wanted xx

Whoa a one plus pad. Been waiting for it. Can't wait to see the full video of it😊

I have bought the course and jnjoying it so far. I feel really motivated to draw. It would be nice if you could show in this or any other android tool how do some pre-settings. When I have it done now it seems easy but being a beginer I was confused facing setting perspective grid and trying to have it convenient for drowing. I had to play with horizon and vanising points and re-draw a room 5-6 times till it was good. This is good for practise but I might be helpful to have some android piece of advice from you. Thanks a lot for the course

I just downloaded this on my phone, to try it out a little. And it seems like it does have the perfect shape feature! Just draw the shape and hold the screen. I'm looking forward to try this app out on my s6lite. On my phone the canvas can't be bigger than 4000x4000. And even then I only have 5 layers. Maybe that is different on a tablet.

thank you so much brad I had no idea this app existed. I just downloaded it and it is perfect!

I gave it a try and really liked it but the brushes leave a lot to be desired, coming from clip studio. I'll have to try if I can import brushes and how well they behave, but for someone who is just starting on digital or just for sketching it seems pretty great

I'm always eager to check out new apps to explore what's available, so I'm eager to see how this app performs! Been tinkering around with ClipStudio Paint lately so I'm open to something else.

It works great, but it has a unique issue. I found when I make fast strokes, the curve has bumps in it. Like there are not enough points in the stroke, as if some made a bad job with the path tool. However as someone who doesn't like realistic brush engines, this app is great.

I'm totally agree with you....i was way amazed with it...and yet no one talk about it

So I used to have an iPhone, but never used Procreate Pocket since I had an iPad. I wasn't using my phone for anything except calls and texting, so I downgraded to an android (the iPhone was a used device I got from a friend when they upgraded) and passed the iPhone on to one of my teenagers. My iPad meet with an accident recently and I couldn't afford to replace it, so i just got a pressure sensative drawing tablet for my computer and moved on, but I still miss Procreate a lot. So, when I saw your video, I decided to download this app to my adroid phone and was suprised by how well it works just with my finger. Thanks!

This is pretty cool. I dont and never owned any apple device but procreate always seemed kinda cool. I have my favourite drawing app already since 8 years so im not going to switch probably. But I am so using this for animation oml. Sick of using flipaclip. Its decent and works fine but a lot is missing. So Hipaint will definitely come in handy there for me.

I use infinite painter and it has been great. I would give this a shot but am not down for those ads. Also, 😂😂😂. Well, if procreate felt like it was too good for Android, then am totally open to developers just outright copying the thing and calling it something else.

Thank you so much for your video! I immediately loved the app

It can recognise shapes by holding it! You just have to toggle it on in the settings :)

I'm really happy with Ibis Paint (especially because I bought the, Non X, version). But I have been wanting to use Procreate So HiPaint would be the better option for me... Since I basically abandoned Apple... 5 years ago? I think? Edit: So I tried using HiPaint on my tablet, and... I think I'm gonna stick with Ibis Paint. Mainly 'Cause - More options for canvas size. I know you can just manually change the size in both. But I like that Ibis has more presets (I personally use a4 and/or a5. Depending on if I'm doing a regular drawing, or a reference sheet) - Reference window, can also reference canvas - plus and minus buttons for things like changing the brush size - Have to tap out of a menu, before being able to draw (this one is really just a personal preference thing) - Doesn't lag, when pinching and zooming (I honestly don't know if it's 'Cause my tablet is from the A line, instead of the S line. Or it's just how the app is. But it was really annoying. And, actually the reason why I went back to Ibis)

That´s it. The only thing that had me still considering buying an iPad to start drawing was Procreate. So tomorrow, I´m getting my new Android tablet and, hopefully, never have to look back to Apple´s ecosystem.

oh boy finally a reason to get an android tablet. I've been really considering getting an ipad just for the use of procreate but I have a very high distaste for apple and it's practices so I've really not been wanting to do that.

Honestly I still prefer Infinite Painter for Android. I'm really used to it even though I miss the paint drop ink option (they only have bucket). But I really like the fingers shortcuts to increase or decrease brush sizes on Infinite Painter. If Hi Paint gets more features like Procreate has, perhaps I'll give it a go.

It doesn't seem to have the line straighten feature that I can find. In Procreate, you can draw a line or a curve, and hold the end point for a second and it will smooth it out or straighten it. If that's in there, please let me know!

Thank you for the review. Looks like HiPaint and the new Huion Sketch (2023) will be my favourite drawing apps for Android.

Hi, I wonder if the features are different depending on the country. For example, when I click where you touch with the pen, I don't get the round shortcut menu.

This app is a life saver. I had paid sub to clip art n i thought its a grt alternative to photoshop for drawing. But never thought this app to be so much similar to procreate So happy

Can you do infinite painter on the OnePlus pad on the next video? I've been planning to get one soon and i love using infinite painter. Btw awesome video I've been searching for OnePlus pad review from artists point of view

I found this on Android a few weeks ago. I'm glad to see your video on it. If Procreate keeps saying they won't come to Android, im glad to see this. I do lettering and everyone in my community works on procreate so it's been tough for those of us not wanting to splurge on an ipad just for procreate. I've been jumping around between multiple apps just to get the good lettering control plus design techniques. Hopefully this app will stand up to what i need. And it's free!

I love this app, im excited for the updates❤

Oh god! Thank you for making this video! I love my android tablet, especially cause it’s cheaper and I can use my Staedleer pen, but one of my biggest pet peeves, for moving from iOS to Android, was losing access to Procreate.

There are tons of Chinese apps that are essentially copies of apps from outside China, with just enough changes to skirt IP laws. Part of why they exist is many Chinese gadgets can't access apps from outside China. That would take too long to explain here LOL But I was curious how the brush engine compares to Procreate's? And also, does HiPaint have honest to goodness rulers because that would be an edge it has over the original. I wouldn't care about Apple Pencil hover if HiPaint has rulers

I could really use something like this for Windows. Clip Studio is great, but on a 13" touch screen some of the interface elements are a bit small and fiddly and cluttered, plus flipping the keyboard over for certain functions isn't ideal. Heck, I'd be happy to have infinite painter on windows

Dang! That's cool! I hope there is a paid version without the ads! I'm trying to figure out if I can move away from iPad but been scared to make the jump because I am so happy with procreate.

Thanks for the review. Gonna go grab this right now :)

Looks really good. I've been looking into apps to create animated stickers and GIFs for Instagram. I heard Procreate is best for that. I wonder if this app will be just as good.

Clicked out of curiosity but clip studio paint is great for me. Ain't broke don't fix it. Plus school has me learning every durn Adobe product

I’ve been looking to go back to android so I’m happy to see this.

tried it on galaxy tab s7+. buttery smooth.

HiPaint is Huion Sketch before! They changed.

OMG I LOVE YOU!!! I wanted to see you draw on this tab so bad!!! Can't wait for mines to arrive. You are the best my friend! 🙏🏼❤️

I like the app, but is there a way to keep the flipping of the canvas "centered" like in Infinite Painter and CSP? With that I mean that when I'm zoomed and I flip the canvas, it uses the "axis" of the center of the canvas instead of the one in the screen which is annoying. Thanks in advance!

Very interesting but I don't see how to get rid of the ads. Google Play says there are in-app purchases but I don't see any.

If the reason that Procreate didn't come to Android was actually not being financially feasible I wouldn't mind. But we all know there's a huge Apple exclusivity money being fed behind the scenes. I own a Android Tablet but I'll probably still buy an iPad for the 3D functions from Procreate+Nomad Sculpt as well as Cozy Blanket (which is developed on Godot and has 0 reasons not to be on Android, but what can I do).

It looks a bit like InfinitePainter too.

I have been trying to move the layers not knowing it's a replica of Procreate and finally stumbled upon this video 😅 Phew finally!!

I use this app on my tab s8 plus and it's great for what I need it for.

I did a review of this app (back when it was called huion Sketch) and noticed that it was similar to Procreate as well, been trying hi paint for a similar video and the pen is so bad.

Brad! I wonder why no one talks about Tayasui sketches [PRO or free version]... I have been using it for over a decade and it is very satisfying on both iPad/iOS and android phone/tablet ... In fact, I prefer both Hipaint and Tayasui on Samsung tablet simply because I like working in pop-up with adjusted transparency for tracing or references. I guess, it must be lack of brush customisation despite their great selection of tools... Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?

Definitely got to try this app out

(0:30) I like how you demonstrated it on a OnePlus Pad, considering that they heavily modified Android to resemble iPadOS.

Unfortunately the wand selection tool is bad. there will always be the dreaded white lines on the edge, and it has no option to expand/shrink the selection. Ive played witht the threshold settings and tried different brushes but the problem remains. For me this makes this app a no go. It is a shame as i was excited to see what it could do. Hopefully a future release solves this.

So if this was originally Huion Sketch... Is Huion still developing it? Or did they abandon it and some other team has taken up the mantle? I remember early versions of Huion Sketch were okay, but it really felt like a tech demo more than a robust drawing app. But Huion still supports Android on their tablets, so maybe they're still trying to make a push for drawing on Android to be more viable?

Thank you thank you very much I wanted procreate for months

i see the ipad and iphone version in the app store. this is crazy! gotta give it a try.

Looks ok for "free" app and android, like if I had no other choice. You can just turn off the internet as well while using it, so ads just won't load because they have to use dynamic loading from the servers like doubleclick etc.

And here I went and bought FRESCO! But that's okay; I'm using it in Windows, anyway, plus it has vector brushes!

You are a special artist, I wish you success

I'm hoping to get a tablet soon (Samsung) and start learning digital art - would you recommend this for a complete beginner?

I love how on the procreate website page it says. Procreate art for everyone. I guess that only ends when you have a samsung right?

I immediately tried the app on my iPad an it is... quite disappointing. Here are my thoughts on why if anybody is interested. When I tried to add eyelashes or any details (tried zoomed in and out) no matter what brush I changed to or how many settings I changed (including the outside settings like finger rec.) apple pencil’s movements were “late”. Strokes appeared wayyy later and nowhere close to where I tried to draw???? I don’t know if it was my fault or anything so here I am. Does anybody have this issue? I am very confused and sad... Brush creation section was very cool! And I liked the other functions if only it registered my strokes correctly! Animation section is GREATTT! I don’t know why my strokes doesn’t register correctly I thought I found a great alternative... Thank you for informing about this helpful app! I will definitely try again at a later date when I am not busy.

I downloaded the app a couple of weeks ago and it was great until yesterday when banner ads started appearing at the bottom of the canvas. It's impossible not to open the ads when moving my arm across. Have you got those ads? and is there a way to turn them off?

this plus zfold means amazing on the go sketching opportunities

Everyone raves about Procreate! iSnobs all looking down their noses at me while I'm banging things out on Android running Sketchbook... LoL I'll have to give this a serious look now. Thank you, Brad!

I think this tablet has a very high latency, because I have a Huawei Matepad 11 and there is no delay in this app

I actually downloaded this on my S22ultra and i was so surprised. Its really similar to procreate and is very good on smartphone. I bought ipad 3 years ago just for procreate but if this was available at that time.. i Would have bpught galaxy tab instead

Please make a video for importing procreate brushes in hipaint

that plant in the corner messing with your auto focus

@Brad - just to clarify... i just found this out yesterday when i made 2 videos of 2 different versions of HiPaint. The tablet version didn't have the liquify option. However...the phone version there is a popup window with rotating color wheel with liquify option. Update: they just added more features and now the tablet version has that popup window with liquify option among other things.

I'm loving the app on mi pad 5, exactly what i want

i've been wanting to go back to sketching daily. i might give this a shot on my phone.

I love Ibis Paint more, and what catches my attention in Procreate is the animation and nothing more than this. If this is available in the Ibis Paint application, it will overtake and outperform the Procreate application.

How long have Android users asked for Procreate to be ported over but Savage Interactive wanted to keep their one-way love affair with Apple (the same Apple who only focus on Adobe Apps at any bog iPad launch). I'm good with this, I don't mind Huion making their own version - those of us who wanted a clean but powerful tablet App on Android can stop hoping Clip Studio / Krita finally release a tablet oriented version of their Apps.

Whatever tool you use to draw is the eracer when you click "eracer" right? You have to adjust size of eracer when need be? Thats what i have to do.

I used it, it is amazing, 😮best alternative for Procreate that I have seen. I also made a video about it, testing it and the brushes.

Its look like a lot of permissions unnecessary for a paint app

Hehe hipaint looks cool, I dont really care if its a knockoff because procreate isnt on android, if I ever get a art tablet ill definitely check it out (but ill probably still use ibispaint 24/7, I perfer android over iOS)

I had no idea OnePlus has a tablet now! Waiting for your full review!

does anyone know how this compares to infinite painter? I used to use Sketchbook on my old Galaxy Note 10.1 and Tab A8 before switching to Infinite Painter on my Galaxy S7. Never used procreate, but I keep seeing so many posts about "how to do this in procreate" and can't (read: haven't/don't take the time to translate to IP) figure out how to recreate that in IP, so something that is an exact clone might work.

It has potential but it has a lot of bugs and missing a lot of features. Would not compare it to Procreate whatsoever.

just checked it... i think it needs more updates.. i would like it to be as powerful as procreate

What are some features it is missing from Procreate? I like the interface of Procreate but never used it, only in the apple store and i loved it. I am only starting with digital art and would love to buy the Samsung Tab S8 but Apple has some nice software so i cant decide which to buy.

I just tried it because of the video. I like it very much but I still like Clip Studio Paint because of the book formating features
