Professional Artist Tries FREE ART APPS...I Can't Believe These Exist. 😬

Artistic Bear Co Brushes (my art brush line) ; www.artisticbearco.com
Today I am trying some of the best and worst free art apps on the apple app store on my ipad pro. I haven't done this in 4 years now so I wanted to see what new apps were around! Some of these were 5 star apps, some I had to pay for in the app itself, from squishy painting apps to anatomy apps!
Check out a list of my art supplies/products here:
www.amazon.com/shop/chloeroseart
Ipad: My ipad is a 2020 12.9” iPad Pro. You can use many different types of ipads and sizes with an Apple Pencil, Check the apple website - it will tell you on each ipad if you can use the Apple Pencil!
Pencil: I use the Apple Pencil 2nd generation. This one chargers magnetically on the side of the ipad. I stringly do not recommend the first generstion pencil as it charges in the ipad port and is very easy to break.

Here is a tip if you do decide to do more with FlipaClip: You can copy and duplicate frames, and then change that frame instead of completely redrawing that scene every frame

[@CorvusCreates]

I don't have an iPad so i don't know if this app is available for apple devices, but ibispaint x is THE drawing app if you want to paint digitally for free. In my opinion (as someone who uses primarily Krita to paint) it has everything you need as a digital artist: layers, blending modes, clipping layers, a bunch of brushes (most of them are locked, you'd have to either buy the full version or watch one add and get them all unlocked for like 8h the last time I checked. Only really needed if you want textured brushes other than that the free brushes are good enough). I love it and use it occasionally when I'm not in the mood to turn my computer on

[@angel_wolfie8235]

Yes

[@briannebarnhart7689]

Yes! I've been using that app recently as an introduction to digital art. I also have magic poser to help with poses and anatomy.

[@zocritter]

I had that until I switched to Procreate, it feels weird to go back to look at my old art now, although I shall forever miss the rulers, especially the circle one…

Magic Poser is actually my main reference source for poses. You can do a decent amount with it without paying for anything

[@mmgringoire2]

It looks like it would be very helpful when creating scenes. does the app have models of different ages? Kids, teens, old, etc.

[@madieh7881]

It does, but you have to pay for the different types of models unfortunately

[@yournormalbubble]

@@mmgringoire2 it does! Some models cost money sadly but free ones still exist and they're free to use!

I feel the Android version is very different from what we saw on the video, I use it a lot recently and it's been a huuuuuge help for me ! I don't remember if you can do children or babys but you can choose between different types of bodies.

[@YiorKha]

@@KetsuikoIuris the last Android update (according to Google play) was in March 2021. So basically it seems like Android version of magic poser is dead in terms of active development, which is very sad. I still hope that one day they will update Android version, but its been almost 2 years now.

I use magic poser on my android phone and it's quite different. Like I can't make a character skinny or fat. Maybe it's a different app but I doubt it. What I like about magic poser the most it's probably the lighting adjustments. You can change both direct light and ambient light depending on what you're going for. You can of course pose the model however you want. So you don't need to spend hours looking for a good reference photo. There's more than one model for different art styles: realistic, different manga/anime proportions. And probably props. You can on android buy props to add which are amazing. Like a chair or bed or desk. It helps with drawing poses more. If it was just a floating man trying to sit in my opinion I could never make it realistic. But with a table and chair I can make it more real and use the props as reference too for perspective. You can also change the colour to more fleshy or crazy if you're drawing some mystical creature. Also there are clothes for models and you can also remove underwear if needed. Sometimes I find the underwear being grey distracting. Like a flesh coloured model with gray underwear is kind of distracting for me. But anyway the models aren't 100% detailed in certain areas. There's also another cool feature called posecloud. Where you can search for poses made by others who share them in this cloud system. You can use them as is or edit them to fit your liking. Also you can save the pose as an image 1x/2x the screen size. And I use it for some of my digital drawings to trace over (like I did in a video of mine) or to have a still pose. To avoid accidentally touching the screen and move the model a kilometer away from where he was.

[@HalfDryad]

Unfortunately in the free version of magic poser you're very limited in what you can do and add, if you want to add more characters, make them skinny/fat, or add more props and such, you have to buy the full 10 dollar version. Which imo is pretty worth it even if I haven't bought it just yet due to financial reasons. But I use it all the time for poses and references since while CSP has nice 3d models, I prefer these ones a bit more.

[@Justintro]

@@HalfDryad its pirate time

[@alpha_jasperflair1097]

I used to be an sketchbook autodesk artist ever since I was 11 years old and trust me its actually pretty neat I make realistic art of it now that im 15 the brushes are actually really good the app is quite easy but too simple.

[@cheyenneyoon4353]

❤

[@silvia.r]

One app I use a lot is called Medibang paint pro and I briefly saw it at the beginning of the video while she was scrolling through the apps and it's honestly pretty decent and easy for beginners and you can do a lot with it. The only downside is there's not that many brush options but even then you can still do a lot with the ones that are provided. I've been using it for months and I've even made a lot of detailed and complicated pieces so I reccomend it :D

[@pacicidal]

oh, actually you can make your own brushes with the app! you can also import them. you just need to go into a canvas and tap on the brush selection menu, and there should be a plus button on the far right that will let you add your own brushes or adjust pre-made ones. it's really useful for making signatures for artwork without having to draw them out every time! hope this helps you! - B

[@kaijukarnage]

the pc version of medibang is awesome, mobile not so much. but it really depends since some versions of it have completely different ui designs depending on the device

9:40 Pro flipaclip tip: use the ruler in the top right corner and copy pictures by using the circle line tied together( on the left bar under the eraser) and circle the thing you want to copy and click on the right two pictures next to the undo button and you can now copy a picture! ❤🎉

[@lizzyscorner7967]

I use the art set app, and it always works really well. It does have layers btw, using the same button that changes the paper. You an also added buttons to the bottom, by holding and dragging them to the task bar, that way you don’t have to keep opening the whole menu just to change your brush size, etc. My husband got procreate and I got this one. We wanted to see if it would work as well.

I used to have this app called paper 51 that I would use to draw all the time on my iPad (these were the old iPads, before the Apple Pencil) I don’t know if it still exists but it was honestly pretty cool. You had different sketchbooks and could flip through the pages.

I actually used magic poser! I don’t draw anymore but I used it two years ago and it was great.

Ibis paint is good, and free ( to a limit.) the only thing you pay for is more brushes, HOWEVER, just watch a short ad and you get all the brushes for hours. just repeat.

Hi there! I use flipaclip quite often. I saw you were having troubles with redrawing the photo onto a frame. Once you draw your photo, push the button at the top right corner with two squares, one being transparent. Then go to your next frame and push the OTHER bottom next to the previous one with just two full squares. Hopefully that makes sense! :)

Drawing people that look like people and not like disfigured corpses/mannekins is something i *immensely* struggle with. Ive been using the posing app for a few weeks and it makes great references. It even has different body types like anime-style ones.

[@sockening]

Ive never used Magic Poser, but I have dabbled around in 3d art and from what I can see it's interface looks pretty simple to use and it could be very helpful for artists that want a reference but don't want to do all this complicated stuff in other 3d art programs.
