Procreate Pocket is iPhone app of the year because: It allows artists of all levels to paint, draw and sketch without compromise, wherever inspiration strikes.
It’s not often we see an app with the depth and power of Procreate Pocket. This best-in-class digital art app unlocks the iPhone as a tool for professionals and hobbyists alike, combining a portable canvas with precision features previously only available on iPad and Mac.
Zoom in to super high-resolution canvases and make even the finest details pixel-perfect.
Developed by Savage Interactive in the wilds of Tasmania, Procreate Pocket lets you zoom in to super-high-resolution canvases and make even the finest details pixel-perfect.
It offers more than 135 preset textured brushes in myriad painting styles, including acrylic and watercolour, as well as charcoal sticks and calligraphy pens. There’s even Gaussian Blur, a favourite among graphic artists for softening lines.
Responsive touch controls make painting and drawing with Procreate Pocket feel surprisingly natural. Press harder and the line gets thicker, thanks to 3D Touch. Mix a full spectrum of colours on the app’s digital palette. Switching among canvas layers, tools and effects is as seamless as an unbroken line.
The app makes it easy to quickly adjust your brushstroke as you work and even curious hobbyists will be drawn (pun intended) to the user interface, with simple functionality to undo erroneous lines.
When you’re done, view a time-lapse replay of your creation process from beginning to end in 4K resolution. Post that video on social media to wow your friends and followers.
And when a client (or your mum) requests a copy of your masterpiece, send it in one of six file types. Art, after all, is meant to be shared with the world.
