Ratings and Reviews
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 ;)
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.
Love this
It has so many tools and is amazing, I have used other drawing apps but this is by far the best, it has vector and raster and you can use both in the same drawing on different layers. The layers are also amazing and easy to use, it also sinks with creative cloud so everything is saved as you go onto a easily accessible cloud. This is an amazing tool for Digital art and drawing.
