Lots of people believe you should practice on paper and pencil at first, here’s my opinion: Yes, you should, BUT.. if art is something you genuinely really love to do, and you either want to make it a big hobby, make money off it, or whatever. Or if you just do it a lot, I believe getting an iPad and an Apple Pencil IS the way to go! (Unless you genuinely prefer traditional art, obviously.) and here are my reasons: 1. It may be expensive at first, buying an iPad and an Apple Pencil. But over time, you’ll see it was worth it. It’s portable, you can listen to music on that same device while drawing, and it works offline (for drawing at least!!) and paper and pencils/led cost ALOT if you draw a lot, but the iPad and Apple Pencil work until they’re destroyed lmao. 2. You have more options on an iPad, drawing on paper is good, and you can get some cool affects, but you can do so much more on an iPad! And it’s easier, too! 3. If you’re going somewhere for more than a day, and you’re planning on drawing, having that iPad will be so much more convenient! It takes up less space than a sketchbook and butt load of pencils do! Ok yeah that’s it I’m tired and done now lol. Great video btw! I love how chill you are, and I’m happy you went so in depth with this tour of procreate. Definitely will be revisiting this video when I get my iPad!

[@k4rim799]

You're right, because coloring is more easier in digital art 😿

[@dominatesym3513]

@@ok-sg8tw Is it still good 1 year later? Would you still recommend or are there any noticeable issues

[@ok-sg8tw]

@@dominatesym3513 hi! So I do not have the iPad 7th generation anymore as I turned it in for the 8th generation. The iPad 7th generation was great while I had it though (I’ve had it for a few months before turning it in), I also want to say that the iPad 7th generation and 8th generation are basically the same. Both perform the exact same and are very identical. But I would 100% recommend getting the iPad 7th generation, it’s very good!

I found your video to be immensely helpful for what to expect from Procreate. One of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen. Your presentation is outstanding and your voice is even and pleasant. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Liked and subscribed, my friend.

[@jessicay8207]

I was so so bad with procreate when I first started using it, took me about a solid two weeks to really get the hang of it and start creating decent art but I’m still learning and have no idea what half the stuff do😂 I’m sure there are quicker and easier ways of what I do on there, but videos like this are super helpful thanks!

About flipping the canvas: Right you can see mistakes better because when you're looking from left to right you look over things, versus flipping the canvas you see it from a different perspective and direction. I never thought I'd remember that..

Hey Josh, just wanted to say that I tried your brushes and I really like them... "Pencil Eraser" probably the best "pencil" type brush I've used, and I love that when you use it as an eraser, it resembles an actual eraser. I use that brush for all my sketching. Thanks for that and all your helpful videos!

I was playing around with stuff, watched some tutorials, etc. But, I couldn’t find a good video that helped me figure out how to use everything inside procreate. Then, out of the blue, I see this video in my Recommended. I decided, why not check it out. As soon as I finished the video, I knew how to use so much more in procreate than a I did just before watching the video. Thank you very much for this amazing, well thought video.

[@renebesicke]

I bought an huion gt 221 pro about 6 month ago and I tought "Yeah way cheaper and that enormous size. Great deal!" But when I used it.. first I needed an extra monitortripod, then I only could draw on that place. The driver where somehow a bit buggy (yeah i uninstalled all other wacom drivers before I installed it) and the colors were totaly out of space. I sold it. I know the ipad pro is not cheap but it feels really like its worth the money. Even if its an older one, I would prefer buying that then one cheaper tablet again. Procreate alone feels like such an great plus.
