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!
