I hate it

I literally worked on a drawing for two straight hours and then my thing crashed since i was using the free version i cant recover it

One of the best painting apps out there

I’ve been using this apps as one of my main tools for professional work and oh god I love it. I still pretty amazed in how is not as popular even when it’s one of the most complete ones.

Ease of operation.

Much less trouble than other apps used in industry so it speeds up the process for publications work and work dead lines.

Just great helps with my art learning

The perfect middle ground

I thought I left a review but I guess now I am. I have so much to say, I want to preface that I had swapped to Artstudio after Procreate just didn’t feel the same anymore. If you want a quick sentence, Artstudio Pro is like the middle ground between Procreate and Clipstudio/Photoshop.

I love so many features. And the interface is that perfect blend of having so much yet it’s not intimidating at all! In addition their quick menu tool (which I use so much) can hold up to 24 TOOLS/SHORTCUTS! It’s so much more than what Procreate allowed for! The lasso tool has a preview of the area you’re selecting, you can customize your work area, and apply effects to a specific layer like emboss or outline! For me, I always have my color wheel and favorite brushes pinned so I can always have access to them and the outline FX is used SO much in my work.

All work is saved to ur local storage(files) or you can also save to iCloud. This is such a big advantage to me especially when Procreate didn’t have a cloud or save locally that I lost so many artworks when my old iPad corrupted.

The only thing I’ll say is that the brush engine isn’t as advanced like Procreate or Clipstudio, and I hope that’s something the developers would work on sometime in the future! Also note if you’re brush shopping, photoshop/abr brushes are what you’d be looking for. Honestly though, I’ve adapted to using lesser brushes and I’ve gotten around to making my own brushes of the popular Procreate brushes. If there was the ability to have two brushes combine to make unique brushstrokes, I would be in wonderland!

Ruler tools for straight lines would be great too! While I’ve trained my hand to get better at straight lines, a ruler tool would be so useful in many cases. Unless I just happen to not manage to find it for some reason.

Long time user

recent update: i kept getting an auto save error so i did what it said. about closing and reopening. it still kept doing it so i restarted the app. i lost hours of work.

I bought this ages ago when ProcreateApp didn’t support photoshop brushes but this did at the time. The stabilizer feels much nicer. ProcreateApp is like a stringy rubber band. My brain greatly did not like that. I think this app should be more popular. It does almost everything ProcreateApp does but smoother imo. I admit the other app does have a nicer UI and UX but you get used to changes pretty fast.

Tools don’t work canceled subscription

Purchased PRO to utilize all the tools. It takes 5 try’s to select images from my gallery. The app is glitchy and doesn’t work smoothly. When selecting special effects, they don’t show up, I have to keep taping my pen or finger on the screen. When “ undoing” a mark, you can only go so far, then that feature quits. I’m new to art apps, and was hoping this one would be user friendly, however so far it’s very frustrating. Also when selecting a basic tool like a pencil, even with color adjustments it hardly shows up. I’m using an iPad Pro with pen. I’m glad I only the cheaper yearly option.

KEEP GETTING ERROR 500 WHEN I TRY TO OPEN FILES OR WHEN I TRY TO OPEN DOCUMENTS

I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ANYMORE 😭😭😭

I thought it would be different

It wouldn’t let me save my work unless I paid for a subscription which I thought was really dumb and I think that I kinda got scammed when I downloaded it so this is just a warning to whoever downloads it but I thought apart from that it was nice, but can we please not have to pay to save? Edit: I found a loophole that allows me to not lose my work, just don't exit out of the app trust me it works also that variety of brushes are lowkey nice! Edit: using the app it seems that it's overall a pretty okay app it's just the pay to say that I really dislike about it. I get it but can you please let us save without having to spend real money especially for those who aren't allowed in app purchases or subscriptions like me.

MAKE SURE YOU SAVE ART!!!!

I love this app!!!! I love the variety of brushes, the fact I can import my lineart to a canvas! On this note, make sure you either screenshot, or save your art if you are using the free version!!! If you pay, I think you can ignore this part, but for the freebies like me, screenshot your art, because if the app is closed, it gets deleted, thankfully I’ve never had a problem with this, because I send my art to myself, but make sure you do this. This app is overall so good! If you don’t want to pay for procreate, or are new to digital art, this is for you! Sad that the free version only has three layers, but I figured out how to work around that

Linguagem/ idioma

I found the experience of drawing and painting in ArtStudio Pro more natural than in Procreate, even though it doesn't offer a Brazilian Portuguese language option.

Love it

I make a lot of different backgrounds with this app definitely would recommend to anyone

Erasing my art when I get out of the app

I think there’s a bug because I was drawing and I had to leave the app to look for a reference, and when I came back to drawing MY WHOLE ART GOT REMOVED?? I tried to use the arrows but nothing because they seem to have forgotten I did something. I did multiple tests to see if its a bug or I deleted without paying attention, and is indeed a bug.

Amazing!

I use this app for so many of my drawings! I’ve had zero issues with it. The brush selection is great! My only issue is that I cannot find a way to duplicate a selection, but I’m sure that’s a problem I can fix easily. So overall, I give this app 5/5 stars!

Updates?

Will there be any updates coming soon? It’s starting to really bug out. I can’t load anything into the ref window. The recent page deletes all recent images then slowly brings them back and still can’t load them. The recording cuts off the beginning smoothing is recorded until later in the art process.

Don’t really recommend this app

It’s not that great of an app a little bit harder to use than other drawing apps but I just don’t like it that much and if you get out of the app for like two seconds, it literally deletes the whole entire thing and if you try and save it, it makes you buy like a pack. I really don’t recommend this app and the creator of this app please fix this!
but other than that is kind of a good app

This App Deserves All the Support

Procreate is a wonderful app, but it’s clear it’s heavily favored and promoted by Apple. Artstudio Pro is everything I wished an art app would be, and it doesn’t get nearly the love or attention it deserves. I’ve used it exclusively now for years. I’ve moved from my Wacom tablet and Photoshop setup to ArtStudio Pro and my iPad. The freedom has been unmatched, I can do my illustrations anywhere. It’s like Procreate and Photoshop had a baby. The developer is kind and helpful and hardworking. If you come from a Photoshop background (like me) for illustrative work, ArtStudio Pro is going to feel very much like home. I’m so grateful this app exists.

The drawing application I’m most comfortable with !

From It’s brushes to its gestures, It’s overall very nice. I find the app like a combination of Procreate and Ibispaint-x, and with it being $15 (on IOS) for a onetime payment, You really see what it all has to offer. However, it can take a while to get used to you given how much features, options, and toggles there are. Otherwise, really good!
