Procreate VS Sketchbook

[@Ruby2P]

I have been using Sketchbook for I think 2 years now, and I hardly see anyone use it, and it hurts me so much.

I'm starting with sketcbook cause its free. But i agreed you thats sad

[@bobans]

Not a fair comparison, showing the most beautiful and amazing art with Procreate and then showing the most basic sketching with Sketchbook. Seems kind of biased to me!

[@madman8932]

right

[@yorchgaram5281]

True.

[@VishTheDog]

I think I have very simple explanation. You might notice that every art shown is by different artist, and Procreate is way more popular than Sketchbook, you will easily find lots of artists that have artworks drawn in Procreate, but you will barely find "good" arts drawn on Sketchbook, simply because of it's popularity. My guess is that the author was glad to find atleast some artworks from Sketchbook!

[@iswiftone814]

The longer I'm watching this video, the more I see you're right

[@yurandifernando487]

Yeah

[@mostafafarweez3161]

I like this video. I've been using Sketchbook for a long time and wish I could use Procreate for a change because my iapd is obsolete :)

[@2teepeepictures382]

Wow, that was an unexpected victory. I use Sketchbook and my wife uses procreate. My impressions of procreate are that it has a slightly steeper learning curve but more useful features. both apps definitely work for whatever you need them to do though. It occurs to me that I viewed procreate more positively because my workflow involves a lot of photo editing techniques. It is still illustration but with a little bit of a crutch to help with the limitation of using a cell phone. me and my wife would always compete with each other about our two programs but watching this video made me realize that I am doing the things that procreate is good at with Sketchbook and my wife is doing the things that sketchbook is good at with procreate.

Is software better than Do you know Sketchbook for Android to tell us?

[@2teepeepictures382]

@@goddessmemol7150 It has been a couple years since I had an android but I believe it does have Sketchbook auto desk. Androids tend to have better programs than Apple products so I would be surprised if it was not available

haha that’s so ironic 😂, did you guts end up switching apps?

[@dinoscarex4550]

It is possible to paint over 3d spheres on Sketchbook?

[@2teepeepictures382]

@@dinoscarex4550 sketchbook does not have 3D elements. At least the free version that I use does not.

[@chandimavithanage5343]

In my opinion is sketchbook wins.😊

[@emilianosolis326]

I just got my first iPad and I’ve always wanted to sketch with it and I began to like Sketchbook more than Procreate

[@cyrusbezyan]

I really dislike the fact that Procreate only cater to iOS devices. There's something smug and amateur about it because they should very easily be able to make it hardware and platform agnostic. It's almost like they're signalling the idea that to make great ("cool") art requires Apple hardware, which of course, is an archaic and now outdated cliche that was the norm 10 years ago.

[@tylerfrancis_]

You nailed it on the head!

[@crystaleefyffe1230]

Exactly. My ipad is first gen and cant use Procreate which I would have gladly bought on my smaller tablet but for some reason it only works on newer version which not everyone can afford. There's definitely something smug and elitist about the choice to only host on ios devices.

[@furious_dracko583]

Maybe they have a deal with Apple. Many software and hardware companies do, For platform exclusivity.

[@guarddog318]

I've used Sketchbook for a few years now, and can do anything with it that I can do with traditional paints or inks. And so far, haven't had any bugs or locking up with it. I'm currently using it on a Samsung Tab S8 plus, BTW. ( It's like having an electronic version of the paper sketchbooks that I used for decades. )

[@thegamingguy3153]

where did you learn to sketch and paint ? I an sketch on paper decently but I find it very tough to do it digitally even if im using pen and graphics tablet.

[@guarddog318]

@@thegamingguy3153 - I learned to sketch/paint digitally by simply doing it. It's just a matter of using the same techniques I learned for paper or canvas, and adjusting them where needed. If you can draw or paint in the usual, traditional manner, then you can do the same electronically... with practice. The hardest part will be learning the ins and outs of whatever app you choose.

[@shubham_M7777]

​@@guarddog318how draw on mobile without stylus pen? Any tips, option how to draw without it?

[@Yiyan81]

Anyone find the predictable stroke is a bit irritating on Sketchbook sometimes! Haven’t tried procreate yet but from vids I’ve seen it seems way smoother

[@TheKevphil]

Yeah, that "trailing dotted line" reminds me of ZBrush's "Lazy Mouse": Effective, but annoying to look at. Clip Studio has an excellent implementation.

[@da5idnz]

Thanks. Very good comparison. I started to watch at least 3 other videos before I got to yours which told me everything I needed to know.

[@InspirationTuts2D]

Glad I could help!

[@brownbearedurardo]

I used Autodesk Sketchbook since 2017 on my laptop before I switched to Procreate on my iPad last 2023. Sketchbook, in my opinion, is a good and free digital art software for beginners but the limitations are the stabilization and less features who wanted to try digital art while Procreate is also great in terms of features and it is one-time payment, meaning it was worth it unlike Adobe Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, which you will pay per month or a year but the limitations is that it is only available on iPad devices, which is expensive.

[@mandyblox]

really

[@feathersketch4843]

I’ve used both, and to me Procreate wins. Sketchbook is nice, but the tools feel like they’re designed for a person that just wants to do art as a hobby. I don’t really like how “fuzzy” the brushes looked on the canvas, but alas I’ve never tried the premium brush pack.

[@KnightGeneral]

The premium is excellent. And as someone who is using it for 7 years now and have used Procreate too since it blew up. Imo, its the other way around. Sketchbook is for Professionals. Procreate is for hobbyist.

[@shinkimo]

​@@LizaJane-yh5klyou are using the wrong brushes then lol

[@thedailyartist7333]

Sketchbook is my procreate 😂 just wish they would put it on android 😢

[@Dungeonbeatz]

Sketchbook is my go to always super easy editing n designing

[@Sunny-ff9vw]

And it cheaper and free to very device! 😊

[@richiee13]

If sketchbook would include paint dropper tool, easier shape creation (like lines and circles), and stabilization on brushes. It would really be a great competition for procreate.

[@RonaldMoD]

What do you mean "would include"? It does!

[@d4mn3t]

It has

[@denizcilingir]

I have to same issue with stabilization. It does have the smoothing function on strokes but it barely does what it needs to making clear lines a hassle. But I’m still a beginner, so that might be my lack of experience idk

[@mr559]

Ruler, French curve. I think you still don't know how to use Sketchbook to the fullest yet LOL

[@H3R7Z]

It literally does have you ever used sketchbook before?

[@fyahssab]

Thanks for this but I use both. Procreate for certain artwork and sketch for others. I love both.

[@Rin_Killian]

I used both as well and I prefer Procreate as many people have said already

[@dwaugh2215]

I have sketchbook and been using it for sometime, but saving up for procreate and thought to use both

[@matatoto9805]

iOS users will say PC is better cause it’s not on Android devices, while Android users can’t test procreate so their opinion is irrelevant really. Sketchbook is pretty much as powerful as PC; it’s even more versatile since you can continue your proyects on other platforms like Windows or Macs.

[@MikaelaMaverix]

Very informative and well done video and I appreciate the unbiased comparison. I was searching for a video that could possibly point out what is "wrong" with Sketchbook and why it is not recommended more often. I personally have not experienced any of the issues mentioned with it. I will go with Sketchbook since I already work on Android and I don't really need another tablet atm.

[@lancemaloney5599]

The narrator does an excellent job of comparing these two programs. I've used Procreate, though not to any great extent. I haven't used Sketchbook, but thanks to this video I'll be giving it a try. I'll add only one thing: I'm sorry to say it, but the narrator's vocal fry is difficult to listen to. After a while I started wanting to clear my own throat. I wish there were a voice filter that would let us change the sound of a narrator's voice. Maybe that will be a future AI feature.

[@DrawnInk1]

I use both, both are very good, I edge towards Procreate because it’s easier to export to Photoshop.

[@Nieruu]

how do you get your sketchbook on landscape?

[@jacobrodriguez8726]

I used to have sketchbook until after a long time I finally got procreate and honestly procreate is waaay better (in my opinion) but sketchbook is also very underated cuz it’s pretty good and it’s free the only thing is that procreate has way more brushes and tools / options but it depends on what u like. I would say if u like to casual sketch and u don’t need that many options go with sketchbook, if u like to make art with lots of layers and lots of detail go with procreate hope this helps 👍

[@martinvegas1327]

Sketchbook is the best one for Simbans tablets👍

[@TheLuconic]

Procreate also has a book page feature that is fun to use and it also does animation. From what I can see so far (unless they recently added it to sketchbook, pls tell me) sketchbook doesn’t have animation or the book feature.

[@spacetofu5306]

It does they do have an animation feature called flipbooks

[@TheLuconic]

@@spacetofu5306 on iPad?

[@jhinjhin00_1]

What is the book feature?

[@PochoNieves]

I agree with this... However, ProCreate can do animation so that's worth saying. However if I give clone artists these two apps and tell them to learn it, they will arrive at the same place except one did it for free. So if you are injured to the hype you will most likely pick Sketchbook Pro.

[@lukecsuarezartistry8568]

Procreate is great but I wish it would get a pc or android port, I hate the apple pencil so much. Plus using a Cintiq with Procreate would be opaf.

been a sketchbook user for a while, but i never really encountered lag issues? even on my phone it worked fine

[@timlee2773]

I thought I was special because I was using Sketchbook. But whatever I use the free version on my Tab S9 Ultra. Seeing that Sketchbook isn't an optimized app for Android, the app works really well. Usually, apps for android will either scale weirdly or instead there will be black bars. Sketchbook is surprisingly really well made. Being a free app on google play, I thought it would have been meh. But seeing the art done on it, I can see that the potential to grow my art is amazing on Sketchbook

[@absolutezero5440]

honestly, you can really make some really great art with sketchbook and i have at many times had people confuse my art with a program that supports vectoring. I also use my phone and have done this for years, you dont nessesarely need something big and expensive to make art but i do have to say that even when people beg me to try ibis paint, i refuse to cus i dont like its interface and im so used to making art on sketchbook. why switch now when people love my art and think its made from some masterful expensive program.

[@bevgordon7619]

I like the option that i can do text - or anything- in Sketchbook and then copy to procreate (i find Sketchbook’s text, and perspective, tool better). And vice versa. Also it is too bad that Copic pens no longer work with as sketchbook palette.

It sounds like Pro create and SketchBook have a similar thing to Photoshop and Gimp. One is limited by apple and cost money. The other dose does not cost money.

I've never used procreate because I I'm not a slave to trends but it looks like an amazing app. I have been using sketchbook pro for sometime now and love it. It can have some cons that can be frustrating sometimes but overall I love it and I use it everyday. Well worth the $20.

[@thebreaddealer4942]

[@parengYAGO]

[@Tiborqiusz]

I can tell you it's way better than procreate, it's better than most drawing apps out there. It has everything that any artist desires, only the sky is the limit. There's no drawing or painting, or whatever you want to create this app cannot do. It's an extremely underrated app which is too bad. I have the full pro version, and after trying several other apps, I can honestly say, I don't need anything else.

[@un.gaming]

I don't like sketchbook. the lack of brushes really makes the dealbreaker for me, and i cant find a way to get better. Procreate wins for me.

[@greenrabbit4075]

I used to draw with pen and ink for 15 years (0.5 mm, 1 mm, 3mm, 5mm, 7mm). Now in Sketchbook I mostly use 1 pen (with different sizes) and it is enough for me ^^ It all depends what you wanna do I guess

How drastic change is it. Used sketchbook for years and dont see reason to get premium as someone who draws for fun and as an hobby, what eaxctly changes.

@@barbar1an_ You get more brushes from their free library (and the ability to import those, even export your own). Other features include some extra layer, canvas, color management and export to pdf functionality etc. Full list on their site is easy enough to find by googling 'Sketchbook premium bundle'.
