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.

[@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!

[@historyhippo]

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signalling the idea that to make great ("cool") art requires Apple hardware, which of course, is an archaic and now outdated cliche that was the norm 10 years ago.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.

[@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.

[@goddessmemol7150]

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

[@midnightrumi]

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.

[@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 :)

[@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?

[@chandimavithanage5343]

In my opinion is sketchbook wins.😊

[@mikeburke1993]

Thanks. Very helpful to newbies.

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@Dungeonbeatz]

Sketchbook is my go to always super easy editing n designing

[@Sunny-ff9vw]

And it cheaper and free to very device! 😊

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@DrawnInk1]

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

[@dundeecake]

I just wanna know what is good to use - like responsive to you pen, speed. Idc about price. I am the only guy using MyPaint on PC. I use EVERYTHING on PC.

[@martinvegas1327]

Sketchbook is the best one for Simbans tablets👍

[@pinklori13]

Looking for something for my daughter she wants to start digital art can't afford an iPad at the moment is the app sketchbook good for an android tablet as it is with the ipad

[@Yougot6dollarsbro7]

Yes

[@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.

[@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.

[@Rachaelart523]

Which app is it? I wanna create my own things

[@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.

[@ipaintu]

I used to use the sketchbook app, but now i prefer using the ibis paint app

[@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

[@alamort5284]

You can animate on sketchbook

[@Brightartz712]

Sketchbook is my favorite

[@Sunny-ff9vw]

Me too!

[@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.

[@alexanderxavierperez4923]

nice

[@sarahr.6874]

Is Sketchbook a one time purchase or is it an abo as it was in the past?

[@theoutlier35134]

It's one time only

[@joel_subash]

Sketchbook is avilable on all platforms so easy win. even if don't work. 🥰

[@EthelredFlametail]

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.

[@Sleepy_puppies]

I was looking for the Gimp comment 😁

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.

[@zulhamdhimunifa7726]

sketchbook is free for me😊

[@Dungeonbeatz]

Isn’t sketchbook free download?

[@Woodendeodorant]

Yup, but I like procreate but sketchbook is cool too.

[@Sunny-ff9vw]

I been used a sketchbook recently, so I think it’s better than procreate as it was cheaper or free! ❤ Who agree

[@eucalypso]

Sketchbook for evah

[@arpitupadhyay1535]

I like samsung notes more but both are good apps

[@nathanxbond]

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]

At least try it

[@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

I have both sketchbook and ibispaint, yet for some reason sketchbook is easier

[@jessmjfan989]

Sketchbook has WAY too many things on the screen, some of them dont even work properly... so my vote goes to procreate or even IBIS PAINT X

[@sketchinthings]

Sketchbook is absolutely horrible from my experience, tools are glitchy and is overall uncomfortable to use 0/10 delete this app its not worth it

[@theHERNANmusic]

autodesk is out dated

[@esterix101]

it's way better than all drawing apps. Fastest workflow for someone who comes from traditional art.

[@Tiborqius]

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.

[@reetamaidhotmail.comtomas2689]

Sketchbook is great, the only problem I have it glitches badly on my Chromebook. 😢
