Ratings and Reviews
THE BEST ART APP EVER!!!
Adobe Fresco is a really fantastic app! From a professional Art, I enjoy it very much! Like let’s say you weren’t here for the spring brushes, but you can still use them! The Person who recommended this app was a YouTuber, calling it a 5 star app app, and I agree. One recommendation for the person who is reading this, if you don’t know to use some of the buttons. There is literally how to learn them videos in the app, and art techniques. Even after that if it doesn’t make sense this app isn’t for you, which is fine! The best part about this it’s for FREE NO WASTE OF MONEY!!!
The Good. The Bad. And the ugly.
Unquestionably, this is the very best vector drawing app for iPad Pro that I’ve come across. I have lost files between crashes. And when reported, Adobe gives me the runaround. So hardware to cloud processing is still in the lap of the god’s. Exporting vector to AI desktop is horrendous. Crashes etc. The workaround is export a PDF from Fresco; open it in AI and save it as an AI file. I think they’re taking advantage of everybody with their subscription model as I only use four apps - Fresco - AI - Photoshop and Lightroom and there’s not a business model that supports this for a struggling artist working on a game. All that said, we’re in miracle days with the software available to us. I just wish it came with a plug in called Empathy.
Very good
This is a very good drawing app. Love it!
It’s a bit trickier to get the hang of than Adobe Sketch, which I usually use, but this has much more variety in terms of brushes and can zoom in far more than adobe sketch when you’re working on intricate details.
And also can I just mention the watercolours? I love the watercolours. I can finally make good gradients with the watercolours! Thank you! Maybe you could add a dry button next to the colour-flow-waterflow options instead of needing to click on the layer to get the dry button to come up?
And one other suggestion: The colour picking method is cool but it would be nice if you could include an option to use a colour wheel similar to Adobe Sketch’s colour picker, because I know I’m finding it hard to adjust to the new colour picker.
All in all, an amazing app!
P.s. Thank you for fixing the crashing bug where the app crashed when you try to open it. Big help ;)
