This is a great instructional piece for me. So helpful! You've got great content. I'm also a huge fan of long-form Draw With Me videos. I just can't believe how every illustration channel that focuses on long-form Draw With Me sessions are all centered around Procreate. Even on platforms like SkillShare. What's up with that? You've definitely convinced me of Fresco. Now I just need more of the illustration community to jump on the bandwagon!

Thanks so much! I think a lot of people don’t know about Fresco and are just comfortable with Procreate. It’s a great app and many people don’t really need the extra stuff that Fresco can do. But for those of us that do, it’s sort of a game changer.

Like Chris said. I also think that Kyle and team need to start pushing Fresco more. I just do not think Adobe is doing a decent marketing and promotion with Fresco like they are with their Adobe Firefly or some other newer apps they seem to be pushing.

I'm not gonna lie, I thought you were just on adobe's payroll at first. I recently had to do a project in illustrator and kind of enjoyed the program. Now I'm giving Fresco a fair shake and loving it so far. Personally, I like vector because it feels cleaner to me, if that makes sense. Being able to draw a bit more freely than illustrator is kind of eye opening and your guides are the perfect intro to it. Thanks.

Hah nope, definitely not being paid by Adobe. That would be nice. I just find Fresco to do everything I need in such an efficient way, that paired with the vector capabilities and great motion tools make it perfect for me. A lot of people don't know about it, so it's become something that I do lots of videos about to share the stuff that helps me out.

Hi Chris, the content you create is inspiring. Not only that you convinced me about the need for an iPad, but Adobe Fresco was one of the main reasons for choosing Apple ecosystem over Android as I wanted a tool which is capable to take on a go. A drawing tablet like a Wacom was not an option. Furthermore I am also able to exploit calligraphy in Fresco using vector brushes.

Hi Chris! Are we restricted from creating pixel and mixer brushes from within Fresco? It appears that I cannot create brushes similarly to Photoshop. For example, some brushes have their settings hidden compared to others. I’m not sure how we can change shape/texture. Ultimately, do we need to create our brushes inside Photoshop for full control and then import them into Fresco? Thank you!
@chris-piascik
@chris-piascik Ай бұрын
I don’t think Fresco has all the advanced brush building stuff that Photoshop has. Making them in Photoshop is definitely going to give you the most control/options at this point. Who knows if that will change though.

@chris-piascik
@chris-piascik 6 ай бұрын
Yes and no. Fresco is much more focused on drawing/painting and as a result provides a better experience for that. It also has the ability to draw with vector brushes, the live brushes, and the special motion features that you’d have to do manually in Photoshop. I spent years drawing in Photoshop before the iPad and now I much prefer to work in Fresco.

I was always loving procreate so much and was hoping for years and actually believing that they will one day bring some updates like fresco, the vector and all. But all they did was a terrible animation app. After so many years, I seem to be parting from procreate. Fresco can do everything I ever wanted, and more.

Why my pressure sensitivity doesnt work with any brush? on my tablet application which is a huion and other apps like krita and photoshop my pen pressure works fine but when i use fresco it doesnt. Also i know that i selected the pressure pen on fresco because it shows in the brush preview but when i draw it doesnt work. i Tried to unistall my graphic table app and reinstall still no result . I also tried to find some Fresco files but i couldnt even find them, idk where they are.
