I'm not even mad that it's a Procreate knock off, we have been asking for YEARS for a Android version of Procreate, even in their FAQ it's a common question, on which they say, so far no plans but we'l see.. which basically is another way of saying ''nah, but to stop your questions we're going to give you vague hope''. So Kudos to HiPaint for at least supporting Android Users

[@Bane_Amesta]

Ok so Procreate know there's a market out there and they just ignore it? Well, more power to Hipaint then... I'm certainly going to give it a try

[@frijolitoandcuterice]

But you have to consider that the app would need to be optimize for Android and for companies that aren't too big that can be difficult and every time that they make an update they would have to verify that it works correctly in two operating systems instead of one. For now I think that it is good that another company is making an app for Android rather than Savage Interactive so they don't have to split their efforts.

[@kizanko]

@@frijolitoandcuterice It's not that, it's how they are leaving a large user base stranded, fragmentation would only be a problem if drawing apps would work bad, but they all work great on Android, Clip Studio Paint being on of the best I find so far which I use on my S6 Lite, my brother has a Ipad Pro and when I draw I get exactly the same results on both platforms. Procreate is already complete enough to put focus on other platforms now. But the fact that they don't just shows how the Apple glorification and Android vilification is still being uphold by some companies. i really hope HiPaint hits off so I don't have to rely on companies who are deaf to people who appreciate their work but then don't even try to accommodate them.

[@jake360flip]

@@kizanko I have a theory (and it is just that and I have no inside information) I have been waiting for so long for it to come to either windows or android, hell I'll even take it on mac at this point. But this app makes Apple so much money in Pro sales and they must know this. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a backdoor contract going on between them where apple slides them a set amount of money for them to not release on anything but iPads. The amount of people I know who have purchased an iPad and pencils just for this app. Me included who just bought an iPad pro and apple pencil on Friday after holding off for years.

Infinite Painter supports custom brushes. In fact. Many people download their customized brushes. There's literally tens of thousands of customized brushes that you can pick from. It's kind of crazy.

honestly pretty impressed with the app, especially with the brushes and the reference tool, which i use a lot. its my second favourite implementation of references behind ibis paint x, which is still my go to app. i wish this new hi paint app includes text input (for comic writing and meme making), use of the button on the s pen to erase or toggle eraser (if they can do the thing where u hold it to erase like native samsung apps, that would be amazing), better timelapse tool (seems like it glitched in the video but they'll probably fix that), comic panel dividers (like ibis paint x and medibang paint), and lot more customization settings in general. looks pretty minimal/lacking for now, but im sure theyll add more. very excited to see how this develops

[@gamernerd1717]

Haven't tried out the other things but it does have use of the s pen to toggle the eraser, it's hold just like notes. So far I've only looked through the brushes but it's really nice so far

[@mrmawster9786]

I still prefer Ibis paint x on using reference since I sometimes use more than one reference on the little mini window which is a bit of an inconvenience for me having to pull up the gallery everytime to change the reference. It also doesn't have blending modes as far as I know which I used regularly but I'm pretty excited to see what they're going to bring in the future.

When I have it done now it seems easy but being a beginer I was confused facing setting perspective grid and trying to have it convenient for drowing. I had to play with horizon and vanising points and re-draw a room 5-6 times till it was good. This is good for practise but I might be helpful to have some android piece of advice from you. Thanks a lot for the course

I just downloaded this on my phone, to try it out a little. And it seems like it does have the perfect shape feature! Just draw the shape and hold the screen. I'm looking forward to try this app out on my s6lite. On my phone the canvas can't be bigger than 4000x4000. And even then I only have 5 layers. Maybe that is different on a tablet.

[@trevorpetersen1854]

If you have a case/cover that is magnetic, and you fold the cover behind the tablet, it can mess up your brush strokes. I thought my S7+ was broken, but then I tried drawing without the case and it didn't have the bump in the line anymore.

It won’t, although you do have Clip Studio Paint, which is better than Procreate in a feature sense. It still feels more clunky to use, in the same way all desktop apps do, but definitely less clunky than this and I’ve only ever heard it called the best drawing app for Android. You can easily pirate it, or since you can probably afford it, pay the $1/mo base fee. That 100% covers all the Procreate features you’d use. I use an M1 iPad, I use both. This doesn’t compare to either. iPads aren’t that pricy either! I promise you that even a 2018 (

I'm really happy with Ibis Paint (especially because I bought the, Non X, version). But I have been wanting to use Procreate So HiPaint would be the better option for me... Since I basically abandoned Apple... 5 years ago? I think? Edit: So I tried using HiPaint on my tablet, and... I think I'm gonna stick with Ibis Paint. Mainly 'Cause - More options for canvas size. I know you can just manually change the size in both. But I like that Ibis has more presets (I personally use a4 and/or a5. Depending on if I'm doing a regular drawing, or a reference sheet) - Reference window, can also reference canvas - plus and minus buttons for things like changing the brush size - Have to tap out of a menu, before being able to draw (this one is really just a personal preference thing) - Doesn't lag, when pinching and zooming (I honestly don't know if it's 'Cause my tablet is from the A line, instead of the S line. Or it's just how the app is. But it was really annoying. And, actually the reason why I went back to Ibis)

Looks ok for "free" app and android, like if I had no other choice. You can just turn off the internet as well while using it, so ads just won't load because they have to use dynamic loading from the servers like doubleclick etc.

[@Kipzi]

There's no ads

[@gemma6674]

I love Ibis Paint more, and what catches my attention in Procreate is the animation and nothing more than this. If this is available in the Ibis Paint application, it will overtake and outperform the Procreate application.

[@GraveUypo]

i've been wanting to go back to sketching daily. i might give this a shot on my phone.

[@shewen2364]

Thank you thank you very much I wanted procreate for months

[@knightsjoker]

@Brad - just to clarify... i just found this out yesterday when i made 2 videos of 2 different versions of HiPaint. The tablet version didn't have the liquify option. However...the phone version there is a popup window with rotating color wheel with liquify option. Update: they just added more features and now the tablet version has that popup window with liquify option among other things.

[@garfmaul]

Unfortunately the wand selection tool is bad. there will always be the dreaded white lines on the edge, and it has no option to expand/shrink the selection. Ive played witht the threshold settings and tried different brushes but the problem remains. For me this makes this app a no go. It is a shame as i was excited to see what it could do. Hopefully a future release solves this.

[@zadsazhad]

I'm loving the app on mi pad 5, exactly what i want

[@Xchao998]

You are a special artist, I wish you success

[@AyoSoma]

that plant in the corner messing with your auto focus

[@thebradcolbow]

You're right. It worked last summer when it was a little guy, but it's gotten to big.

[@NeKa..]

Brad! I wonder why no one talks about Tayasui sketches [PRO or free version]... I have been using it for over a decade and it is very satisfying on both iPad/iOS and android phone/tablet ... In fact, I prefer both Hipaint and Tayasui on Samsung tablet simply because I like working in pop-up with adjusted transparency for tracing or references. I guess, it must be lack of brush customisation despite their great selection of tools... Have you tried it? What are your thoughts?

[@neyyaniyya1201]

I love tayasui too but sadly its often crash in my device and make my works gone

[@NeKa..]

@@neyyaniyya1201 😮‍💨

[@NeKa..]

I must admit it has never happened to me... I don't quite know what to pin point it to... But I have always used it in Samsung s8 or ipad mini (because they don't have account system to associate to any cloud like onedrive etc

[@edwreyasrivastava1744]

hey, i have used the free version of tayasui sketches and i love the brushes and interface! i am thinking of buying the pro version and was wondering if it's worth it???!!

[@MoyLoaf]

Just tried it And i love it

[@arindamdasgoogledeveloper]

It is very helpful content. Thanks bro

[@david_danuja]

I think this tablet has a very high latency, because I have a Huawei Matepad 11 and there is no delay in this app

[@Artofizanagi]

It has potential but it has a lot of bugs and missing a lot of features. Would not compare it to Procreate whatsoever.

[@The_BigB]

Well if he's comparing an Android app to an apple app, then the Android app has a lot of similarities and style to the apple app, then it's a comparison between the two.

[@mingmarlama7987]

I actually downloaded this on my S22ultra and i was so surprised. Its really similar to procreate and is very good on smartphone. I bought ipad 3 years ago just for procreate but if this was available at that time.. i Would have bpught galaxy tab instead

[@nochillkowa9493]

Honestly I'm mad that this didn't came sooner. It's about damn time.

[@mein5887]

I immediately tried the app on my iPad an it is... quite disappointing. Here are my thoughts on why if anybody is interested. When I tried to add eyelashes or any details (tried zoomed in and out) no matter what brush I changed to or how many settings I changed (including the outside settings like finger rec.) apple pencil’s movements were “late”. Strokes appeared wayyy later and nowhere close to where I tried to draw???? I don’t know if it was my fault or anything so here I am. Does anybody have this issue? I am very confused and sad... Brush creation section was very cool! And I liked the other functions if only it registered my strokes correctly! Animation section is GREATTT! I don’t know why my strokes doesn’t register correctly I thought I found a great alternative... Thank you for informing about this helpful app! I will definitely try again at a later date when I am not busy.

[@Wanooknox]

So if this was originally Huion Sketch... Is Huion still developing it? Or did they abandon it and some other team has taken up the mantle? I remember early versions of Huion Sketch were okay, but it really felt like a tech demo more than a robust drawing app. But Huion still supports Android on their tablets, so maybe they're still trying to make a push for drawing on Android to be more viable?

[@husnahasanah1925]

tbh thats what i was wondering as well. im surprised that he even mentioned huionsketch

[@sadev101]

i think you nailed with with your last sentence. and they didnt dare to do it on the huion brand name in case of legal battles. but here we are . procreate for android is here and will improve now

[@lesleyhaan116]

@@sadev101 it’s still note the real procreate it’s just an bootleg copy of it

[@elisafaleschini2404]

I think that yeah, it is like Huion Sketch, just without the "Huion" (probably because of legal causes, since it really seems like a copy of Procreate), especially because the app seems to have a special feature that allows it to connect with Huion Drawing Tablets

[@fablewalls]

@@lesleyhaan116 so? Savage Interactive have been begged for years to port to Android and they don't want to. Apple keeps talking about Photoshop but Adobe don't care about iPads. Eventually someone was going to produce a Procreate copy for Android and I for one am happy. Can be as bootleg as you want - Savage Interactive are not interested in Android users.

[@shirleysstudio]

I just tried it because of the video. I like it very much but I still like Clip Studio Paint because of the book formating features

[@kanganep3008]

I recently got a tablet android (original plan was an Ipad for procreate but I had a change of mind), and thank god this exist!

[@Animate420]

Which Android tablet you have??

[@cutest_pets]

Hehe hipaint looks cool, I dont really care if its a knockoff because procreate isnt on android, if I ever get a art tablet ill definitely check it out (but ill probably still use ibispaint 24/7, I perfer android over iOS)

[@fablewalls]

How long have Android users asked for Procreate to be ported over but Savage Interactive wanted to keep their one-way love affair with Apple (the same Apple who only focus on Adobe Apps at any bog iPad launch). I'm good with this, I don't mind Huion making their own version - those of us who wanted a clean but powerful tablet App on Android can stop hoping Clip Studio / Krita finally release a tablet oriented version of their Apps.

[@RailRide]

Curious...by "tablet oriented" do you mean a minimalist UI? (I use Krita on Android and Windows)

[@fablewalls]

@@RailRide I use Photoshop / Affinity Designer and a couple of small but unpopular Windows Apps for drawing. I have tried CSP and Krita but I don't like them. 20 years of Photoshop does not translate easily to the CSP or Krita interface so on a tablet, I don't want to learn an interface I don't like on a big desktop computer. So yes - by tablet oriented, I mean minimalist. I've heard there are things you can do but seriously, I am really not interested in hacking those two to make it work for me. Sorry, but CSP/Krita have never done it for me. Reminds me I need to uninstall them off my Mac and my zbook.

[@fablewalls]

@@mariarzyt_3D exactly. Zero thought went into making those two Apps work on a smaller tablet interface. If I still had my old Dell 27 inch Canvas - there would be no problem - they can clutter the screen as much as they want.

[@hodayfa000h]

Krita is open source if i am not mistaken i can try to edit it for you all but i much likely will fail but hey i can try

[@fablewalls]

@@hodayfa000h - thanks mate.

[@texugo44]

Kind of feels like a hybrid of Procreate and Artflow Studio!

[@SylverstoneKhandr]

Finally, something to replace Sketchbook with. I got really tired of waiting for Procreate's devs to roll out a version for Android - even though I do use it on my iPad, I wanted a lighter version on my phone so I could mess around a bit with my S Pen.

[@Sashakawaiicat]

I did a review of this app (back when it was called huion Sketch) and noticed that it was similar to Procreate as well, been trying hi paint for a similar video and the pen is so bad.

[@annagrrr5089]

I literally just came from your vid omg 😭

[@benny5299]

what do you mean pen is bad?

[@dansegal5]

Its look like a lot of permissions unnecessary for a paint app

[@elisafaleschini2404]

True, but at least they are 100% transparent and tell you what kind of permissions they will need. IbisPaint tracks the position as well, but I never received a request of permission to track it :/

[@namtellectjoonal7230]

as an android user who always wanted to try procreate, this is really good news to me ^^ I refuse to buy an expensive apple tablet just to get access to one program

[@piusdoe8984]

Being more unique definitely not as good as being " procreate but on android " softwares always copy eachother and tht makes it easier for us consumers to use them. This is great for us
