I have a feeling your vids are going to raise the profile of this great app, which tends to be a bit under the radar for most artists. I think it's more popular for architects and other professionals who need to quickly, er... well, express a physical _concept_ (for some kind of contracted service proposal or project). But it's also super-duper for artists & creatives.

[@anisha1257]

Thank you good sir, thank you for including android!! I wanted to see the differences between iOS and Android and I also needed a tutorial (android) so thank you, thank you!!

[@suttonsuede]

Very helpful! Thank you very much, Teoh! 🙏

Hi teoh can you make more tutorials about more perspective of building or house etc.😃

[@vince2nd]

Bruh, the video is excellent. I've been "using" it for about 2 months but now I know how to draw a straight line lol I thought it was something only the apple pencil could do but it works with my cheap ass stylus. That being said i might even buy that overpriced pencil

[@km_unichannel8899]

Hi Bro, does the precision comes with essentials ?

[@tedparker858]

Love your videos. I'm getting a used iPad mini 2 just for automotive diagnostic testing. What would be a decent stylus for it?

[@carlosribeiro4402]

Hi there, this is exactly what I need to see, really informative and great video thanks! Are you using the 11 or the 12,9 inches. Do you think the iPad pro 11 inches is a good option to create illustrations, initial mobile/desktop wireframes sketches and icon design apart of course the other posible visual designs tasks. I'm thinking about to buy an iPad to do this type of work but I'm not sure I I should go for the 12 inches that as you probably know if a bit more expensive or save a bit and just que se 11 one. It would be awesome if you can share your point of view on that. Cheers

[@teohyc]

11-inch is still a good size to work with. It's larger than an A5 size sketchbook. You can cut an A4 paper down to size and see for yourself. 11-inch is also significantly more portable and good if you need to bring it around much. The one in the video is a 12.9-inch.

[@carlosribeiro4402]

@@teohyc thanks teoh I also checked out your iPad air review and it was really interesting. It makes me check the iPad air and I think it could also a good option to contemplate. I don't really need the Camara, face Id from the new 11 pro (I know the M1 processor is a monster) but do you think the iPad air with 64g is still a good option? Pretty much to use with concept app (illustrations, designs sketches and general pre design tasks is the screen still good in terms of size? Thanks mate

[@teohontech7141]

@@carlosribeiro4402 iPad Air is definitely powerful enough for all those tasks. Note that iPadOS will take around 16-18GB, and the actual storage of 64GB is actually 59GB. Concepts files are quite small so there's probably no issues with the smaller storage.

[@carlosribeiro4402]

@@teohontech7141 thanks Teoh. I see and yes, the 64g will probably be an issue with the memory but the cost of the 128g version is not far for the basic iPad pro 11 price, so, I think its better to spend a bit more for the Pro. I need to do a bit more of exploration and see if the iPad air with 64 will be a good option in a couple of years. Cheers super helpful your comes and channel, keep going 🙌🏿

[@teohyc]

@@carlosribeiro4402 iPad Pro 11 is a better buy if the price difference is not too significant.

How to get get the precision? I don't have it on my screen :( do I have to buy it?

[@KateWinnit]

Teoh, I'm not able to get pressure sensitivity with my S-pen on a Galaxy Tab S7. Any ideas? The pressure sensitivity works fine in other apps. I know it's not officially supported but they say it should work, and you seem to have it working. Great great videos, as always!

[@KateWinnit]

Never mind, I watched your Part 2 video where you explain that the pressure sensitivity only works with the dynamic pen tool. My bad!

[@chroma_tik]

it's possible to do cercle in Android version ?

[@PhilChandlerArts]

You have me really curious about this, and I’m borderline getting it... but I will need to see how much it is first. I’d rather pay outright for the whole thing over a subscription, but I’ll see what the prince points are. I don’t mind paying for extra features, again, depending on how much.

[@teohyc]

You can just buy the Essentials set which is one time purchase. It’s worth the money.

[@PhilChandlerArts]

Teoh Yi Chie I see... I went back again to look at the price points. I thought the Essentials price was monthly. But a one time purchase is definitely worth it for this. Cheers! :)

precision palette is available on android?

[@berika6]

Looks nice! But I don’t think it’s needed for a beginner like me... Will you do more watercolor videos in the future?

[@teohyc]

Yes, I'm still making those

[@TaeKwonMoe]

Do you know if Surface will get the features that ipad has in the future?

[@teohyc]

Yes. The Concepts company has mentioned they will port features so that iPad, Android and Surface have similar features in the future. No time frame provided though.

[@Ray_Argues]

Hi Teoh, quick question for you since you both have the android and the apple version. Is some of the color features ipad only? I can't find the color palette option on my samsung tab. I'm using PRO version. Thanks and great tutorials!

[@Ray_Argues]

Also the double tap on layer to hide other layers doesn't seem to work as well.

[@Ray_Argues]

Also on android, there's only an additional pdf import export in the one-time purchases and only brushes. No shapes. It looks like there are much more things to buy on ipad.

[@Ray_Argues]

The options in precision is also not complete. We only have grid and snap on android. No measure and guides.

[@teohyc]

Yeah, unfortunately all those features are all missing in the Android version. The developers say they will try to match the features in the future but there's no time frame.

[@Ray_Argues]

@@teohyc Hopefully soon. I'm specially interested with the ruler guides. I like the feature from Sketchbook app for drawing straight lines and also the guides for one point, two point, and three point perspective. Super useful specially when drawing structures and interiors.

[@domufflegere]

i dont find the precision tool on the microsoft version. is it possible that this feature isnt included there ? i also bought the pro version. because i need to draw straight lines.

[@teohyc]

Android and Microsoft versions of Concepts have smaller feature set. BUT the straight line adjustment should be there. It's one of the three controls (precision, line width, transparency) beside the colour selector.

[@miiguel3891]

does anyone know how to add different shades of color to the color wheel I am having a difficult time with it?

[@teohyc]

Colour wheel or colour bar. You can’t add colours to the wheel

[@Ayaforshort]

I have windows and I want to verify if the color palette is available. When I tap and hold the color nothing happens. Pretty frustrated that I can't create colors and can only use the preset colors. Very limited and not user-friendly for windows. Why would you create options for Apple users and then not do the same for windows?

[@teohyc]

The colour bar below the fly-out colour palette is not available with Windows

[@mrabsarabsar]

What is the best type of ipad i can use it

[@teohyc]

All the iPads are good for drawing so just choose one that fits your budget. Check out the refurbished ones from Apple's website too.

can you try huawei MatePad Pro 5G and Honor Tablet V6 with M-Pencil, Test writeing, painting，please :)please:) please:)It's so great for vlog too:)and huawei P40 pro + really cool too:)

[@ewolam]

Why don't use clip studio paint only if the concept app is subscription-based too?

[@teohyc]

Concept has subscription as well as free-but-pay-for-tools mode. The latter is one time purchase and you get most of the features.

Thanks Teoh, this might be the best free drawing app for all tools that are included in the free version...much better and easier to use than AUTODESK. Thanks again for posting.

[@ewolam]

So, the Concept app is easier to use than SketchBook Pro?

[@romeredubost6971]

My comparison is between the 2 free apps that I named

[@mirunnue7488]

does it have an auto fill color? thanks

[@teohyc]

Unfortunately no, at this time

[@clnt0315]

Is there an option for adjusting the dpi?

[@teohyc]

DPI for the export? There are only 4 predetermined options.

[@imanfrancisco]

Is there a way to create a canvas size?

[@teohyc]

You can do it through settings. It’s best to create that size before you create your art. Otherwise later on you have to resize your art into canvas.

k anyone out there tried renaming the .concept/.concepts to see if that works when swapping files? sometimes this works for such things

[@teohyc]

Those are different file types unfortunately and are not interchangeable. So Concept files created by iOS/iPad cannot be opened with Concepts on Android & Windows. The company is said to be working on combining the file types in the future.

[@teohyc]

Huh?

[@yeahgirl11]

@@teohyc I think she's talking about Procreate. How does it compare to Procreate?

[@WildPortraitArtist]

imo if you're a stickler for precision with your lineart or you are a digital painter this app is not that good. The pen tool feels very imprecise and while I can see it being whimsical and lovely for the style of sketching that Teoh does or doing design work, it's pretty terrible if clean lines are your goal. Also no where near as many brushes nor brush customisation that procreate has... Procreate wins hands down in my opinion. The two things I LOVE about the Concepts app though are its tool selection circle UI and the Copic colour selection + swatch system UI. I really wish Procreate would add something like that in their app... it would be a fantastic QOL improvement. Oh and the auto layer switching is pretty cool too if you're someone who doesn't use lots of separate layers when working.

[@PaulaBean]

@@WildPortraitArtist Thank you.

[@marcosreal11]

Concepts is a vector app. Is procreate a vector app too?

[@ginaluster9207]

So long story short, Concepts is cheating Android users.
