Procreate vs Affinity Designer - Which is the Best iPad Art App?

[@raxlyy6416]

Ive been using affinity designer on iPad for a year. I gotta admit, IT CHANGED MY LIFE! The number of tools/features it has is just breathtaking and I was able to complete my diploma degree in graphic design with only my iPad. It was a wonderful year as an art student.

[@luonaaaa1367]

I think CSP is good too but in my country it’s 100+ so it’s not quite worth it

[@tortiller_wrap]

I would say Procreate because its simple yet it has many features

[@charlsssdameliii2393]

Guy agree

[@izak5775]

Yeah, Procreate is the best.

[@luisd7632]

Procreate is better if you’re strictly an illustrator. If you want to do graphic design or vector work, no question Affinity Designer is the one to get.

[@tepbuckley5908]

Luis D could you explain the main difference between illustrating a vector work

[@luisd7632]

@@tepbuckley5908 Sorry I missed this! Vector artwork is based on math (using bezier curves) and you can basically scale up and down infinitely without loss of quality. A lot of modern illustration uses vectors and it doesn't always look flat as you can do gradients and added detail through brushes and textures. Rasterized images are pixel based (like a photograph) - you cannot scale up without loss of quality, but you can scale down. With rasterized artwork, you want to create the image at the largest size you think you'll need in case you ever need to print or whatever. Procreate uses rasterized/pixels. Affinity Designer uses both. But if you create an image in AD with both pixel and vector and you want to increase the size, you will lose quality on the rasterized portions depending on how much you increase the dimension. Another thing with vectors, for me it's easier to adjust the artwork via the tools provided, but I'm not a strong artist when it comes to sketching or painting. Both raterized/pixel images and vector are great and look amazing, and it really comes down to your style and comfort which way you go or if you combine. But my main point was that AD works with both types. If you never work in vectors, then Procreate would be my recommendation as it has better brushes.

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I got Procreate as soon as I got my Apple Pencil, just got Designer this summer when it went on sale but haven’t dived into it yet. Currently in a class for Illustrator so I am going to learn Designer on my own time and maybe use them together. I love Procreate but it doesn’t fully replace Krita/Photoshop or some other desktop app because my base model iPad has trouble with big canvases at 300ppi layer wise, I tend to switch between my iPad and a school desktop with a Cintiq for some projects, don’t know about Designer yet

[@ananyapandeyrollno-0689]

Gimme a iPad . I want for my digital art . I need and deserve it but I can’t buy it

[@Pyxelles]

You need both anyway as they are designed for different purposes and outcomes, resulting a very different file formats- one is vector based and the other is a raster based photo editor & illustrator. That's why the comparison doesn't make sense to me. If the comparison was between Procreate and Affinity Photo, then that will make sense.

[@collectionsbyink965]

I have them both, Affinty is my favorite because I learned graphic design in adobe products. My style of art is simple colorbook shapes, and I make vector art. However, when I switched from the Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Designer, I really fell in love with Affinity! In affinity I use mainly vector brushes, but I recently started experimenting with raster and its so much fun. SO, I just got my first iPad and procreate, and using procreate is the closest thing I have ever seen to creating real hand drawn art...and so easy to use, I am sure it has just opened up a whole new realm of design for me! And the animation feature....I’m loving that!

@@gh0stronica So true. It is a precipice that we all stand at when deciding to acquire any skill. The thing about development as an _artist_ is that the sooner we understand that the music is not in the instrument, we can express ourselves creatively. So pick up as many skills as it takes to express your art.

[@mikeyestrada1674]

For graphic design pro create just can’t do it. It’s not at a level that affinity has. I agree in your saying but in this situation sadly it does matter what apps suits you.

[@vagrantclown]

Imo-- they have totally different uses. I do sketches and paintings and more...like...traditional type work in procreate. I do logo and vectorwork in affinity. If you do a lot of graphic design with vectors and transparencies, id go with affinity. If you want paintings and realistic sketches and brushes, something more like Photoshop, go with procreate. Id say theyre comparable to procreate- Photoshop and affinity- illustrator

[@Pyxelles]

My thoughts exactly! That's why the comparison doesn't make sense to me. If the comparison was between Procreate and Affinity Photo, then that will make sense.

[@zulaikhajamalludin9016]

I just love how you detail this tools. Thanks.

[@furatceylan8]

hahahaha .... i started out with sketchbook, moved to procreate, then switched to affinity designer. affinity designer is superior in any regard. it can do all that procreate does and adds vectors and customized export options. its like 3x what procreate can do. that being said... it´s not a competition. people, just use whatever you´re comfortable with. e.g. i don´t use affinity designer much for drawing, because the real power of it is vectors - in my opinion. if i need to draw, i still fall back on sketchbook and procreate, then i´ll insert the drawing into affinity designer and build layer by layer my vector desgin on top of it. it works together.

[@dansoy2529]

👌

[@marc-andrerenaud1394]

I have both Sketchbook Pro and Affinity. Although access to vector is great for some projects, the feedback on Sketchbook's tools feels much more naturals, more like drawing pen and paper, which allows me to get ideas out faster. The only quirk there is that for output I need to figure out my canvas size ahead of time to make sure it'll work well on export. That is the joy of art, the tools don't entirely matter.

[@Lina-mj9kg]

So can I use affinity app first then use procreate to add vintage effect ?

[@netra1648]

Im comfortable with ibisPaintx

[@Vo-iDstudio]

I am all in with affinity designer. Love the vectorability and text tools while the drawing and painting is almost on par with procreate.

[@MrBiaklian]

Affinity designer has lots of brushes, but I find it so much easier to sketch in pro create, it just feels different. And the simplicity of the app is also a big factor for my preference. But affinity designer is way better to create designs or anything related to alignment of shapes and texts. I it's a really great app, I just hope it's more user-friendly.

[@oniros80]

I am so glad you mentioned the need to research canvas set up in Procreate. While both programs do have their merits, I am really getting tired of having to rework art for production that comes from Procreate. When I try to help the artists learn about resolution and how to better choose their canvas size if they choose to continue in procreate, they all seem to get irritated and fall back on the same statements. "You must be doing something wrong with my file. Procreate is a pro app. It exports files just fine." Totally disregarding my acknowledgment that they are welcome to continue in it, they just need to tweek how they are using it. There is a lot of marketing and community reporting that treats this app like it's a magical tool and it always poops rainbows. But in the end, all of these apps are just tools manipulating things in much the same way. The difference is understanding them and how to use them to make what you need. Not expecting the app to do all the work and magically be correct in all use cases.

Affinity Designer can save files in various formats, you can open and edit them later with Desktop Affinity app or Photoshop, Illustrator etc. Sometimes it is great to be able to work with your drawings on Desktop. And Affinity can export vector in SVG which is handy for people creating graphics for websites or apps. I use both apps. Affinity for work (I am a UX/UI Designer) and Procreate to learn how to draw and paint (which is my hobby). Procreate is much easier to use for drawing/painting.

I used both of them. And AFFINITY DESIGNER FOR IPAD IS THE GOD of applications for designers and illustrators, its so complete and is so easy to use, I seee is the best app on my iPad

[@fxdaly]

As always I enjoy your videos, Brad. Having used Procreate, Affinity Photo/Designer, Clip Studio, Adobe Photoshop and Artstudio Pro, I have to say I like Procreate the best for sheer usability, the essence of a good iPad app. All of the others have a certain desktop feel to them, like the haven’t fully embraced the iPad mode. But then I mostly use it for non-commercial drawing and painting. If I was a graphic designer/ illustrator, I’d be using Affinity or Adobe. It would be fun though, to see a shoot out between all those products.

[@Amariiiiie]

For me learning Affinity was pretty intuitive. It was easy to pick up and I created an illustration project extremely quickly with it.

[@stianthomassen6693]

Clip studio paint. I been using pro create and affinity designer. For drawing, Clip Studio paint. No limits in layers or size as far as I have seen.

[@Zadehmohammad]

Procreate and Affinity are one time purchase. But Clip studio is subscription. “deal breaker”

[@kiblaze]

I use them for different things so I mean... I love them both. Procreate for my raster work hands down (or even for sketching digitally & importing those into affinity designer for vector work). Affinity is awesome for doing vector work on iPad though, like I picked it up on sale and absolutely fell in love with it.

[@robfrydryck127]

I like the power of Affinity. I do my line art in Designer and then open the same file in Affinty Photo to color. Made a lime art mistake? Open it up in Designer. They both can work with the same exact file. So powerful!

[@amiraadji]

@@rossakis3181 (shrugs) I guess it depends on the person. For me, I'm used to CSP on Windows, so the app version feels much more familiar to me than Procreate or Affinity Designer. Plus, that subscription comes with 10gb cloud storage and sync function. I alternate between using the iPad and Windows version often, so having that sync is a huge time saver for me. And well, in comparison to other subscription service...it's not *that* bad. Annual version is USD$43.99, which when divided by 12 means it's USD$3-4 per month. Maybe your situation is different, but for me it's worth it

[@oreodogtwinstick8723]

I reckon that it depends on your style. If you are more of a cartoonist then you might lean closer to affinity designer because it’s a lot easier to do cartoons and it also has vector options. If your more of a painter, then you might want to go with procreate because it gets out of your way when painting and it has a lot of cool brushes. It really just depends on your style. I’m more of a painter, so I went with procreate. I love how procreate has a sleek design and how it gets out of your way when your painting. I also love all the brushes that it has to offer. I like to think of my self as a traditional painter who likes to work digitally because I do everything on one layer, I use really textured and realistic paint brushes and I don’t use any fancy digital tools so procreate is really good for me and my style.

[@jnyfcbytd7459]

They serve different purposes. Designer is mainly about vectors and procreate is all pixels. I use both, both are great apps. Procreate is better for sketching or arty or touchup work. Whereas designer is when you must have vectors, like in logo design, layouts, or things that need infinite zoom in quality, or very high res items which procreate cant do. It would make more sense to compare procreate with Affinity Photo, they are closer in function. Although they also really target different audiences.

[@tsyganko]

I know this is an old video, but as someone who is looking to switch from procreate to another drawing app, just to let ya know that my reasoning is purely the cmyk profile in procreate. Procreate doesn’t actually do cmyk, they simulate the colours, but there’s still SO many issues preparing it for print- or even just exporting a cmyk psd. So yeah. Might give affinity a try?

[@erd4877]

What about Clip Studio Paint?

[@jenovaizquierdo]

I bought first Procreate and it felt weird and confusing and didn’t like the style of the vector, I just bought Infinity Designers and I love it, I think is because it has a look and feel like Adobe Illustrator.

its a subscription though, for an app that never gets updated or optimized. Clip studio is turning into photoshop without all the features photoshop has. Procreate has its own problems though.

Affinity Designer I personally might update this comment after trying it out based on what you showed and what I first learned graphic design on Affinity Designer especially as a business owner is the ideal.

I'm an avid Photoshop on PC user and I found a lot of the features in Procreate seem to be lacking. Especially in the editing department. I feel like adjusting my artwork a lot and procreate don't seem to have as rich of adjustments. And I need a more intuitive compositing tool. Just bought Affinity Designer and honestly, it works perfectly for me. Thanks for the video!

I have both of them, I must admit I use none of them: every day, I just enter in Clip Studio Paint and stay there all the day. My lazy brain. Ugh. -.-"

[@marlenez1480]

why?

[@TW-rd5ub]

Clip Studio is fantastic - I don’t think you’re missing out on anything in regards to Procreate - check out the Frenden brush packs for CSP, they’re amazing. Affinity is great if you want / need to do vector artwork - it’s got feature parity with the desktop version, and blows the iPad version of illustrator out of the water. It’s only downside is the UI is unique to iPad, and the learning curve can be steep to new users / people ingrained with Illustrators workflow.

Question: which one would be better for making comic books?

[@nenidetic]

I'd suggest Medibang or ibisPaint, they're both free! they have tools you can use to make the panels/squares for each page, so they're really helpful.

[@tba2921]

Spikkity I'll check them both out, thanks

[@DacostaBayley]

...but why are you comparing a raster app and vector app. Should this not be affinity photo vs Procreate?

[@danielsoto5962]

thanks for the video, what about the layers restriction associated to the canvas size in procreate, does that happens in Addinity as well? Cheers!!!!

[@edwin11373]

When bought my ipad pro my first art app was the renowned Procreate. I liked it. Later I bought Artstudio Pro and I liked it too. Finally, I wanted a vector art app to complement these two apps so I bought Affinity Designer. I liked it too. Today I find myself using more Artstudio Pro and Affinity Designer. Procreate is charming and has some nifty features but I now find it limited compared to the more robust and expensive Affinity Designer and Artstudio Pro.

I've been in love with procreate since the first time I used it. Just wish they'd add vector tools.

[@nicklewis9203]

Both are great and accomplish separate things! No reason to not have both. I’ve illustrated whole books in procreate and designed working logos in Designer all on iPad.

[@raeyacreates]

Procreate for me. Not too complicated, nice interface and easy to learn the tools. Brushes are amazing, really changed my art.

[@mrbreede]

How I define pro level is it, either it is the industry standard and if you use anything else it might not be compatible with what other companies, or clients use. The other criteria is that it gives you all the tools that you need to make something. The pro level usually save a lot of time by having things built in and making them easily accesible.

Please do some more speedpaint videos........ Your drawings are so awesome

[@FluffyFuwa]

I agree with this!

[@ninimomworld5575]

I use both! For me i spend more time on procreate but still use affinify designer! For sketching i use affinity then i make the idea in procreate completely.

[@ayperosia]

Great comparison and contrast between the two, thanks for the video man

[@PrettyNeatArt]

Honesty procreate is just super accessible, it is designed in a perfectly simplistic way to get you started drawing and sketching as soon as you pick up your pen. It doesn’t make you think as much about the tools your using or how you are making something, you just do it.

[@KarensBlueRidgeStamping]

Thanks, Brad! I've been trying to make some decisions about drawing programs, and your video has provided a lot of insight into what each of these software programs will do. That's immensely helpful! Thanks for sharing.

[@paulashinn]

I use both for different kind of works, but I still watch Brad video ❤️
