Trying Out Art Apps That Aren't Procreate

What a long ramble…pls watch in 1.5 speed ahaha. Thanks for 50k subs btw! 💖

Ibis is the GOAT of free mobile and tablet drawing apps lmao Also you can unlock all brushes for 18 hours if you watch an add which I really like, (and sometimes the ad doesn't load so you don't even have to watch it and it just gives you the brushes) And there's no cap to the amount of layers you can have and making a clipping mask is soo easy. Idk I just love that app, I wish there was a proper free version on pc. I use krita with my drawing tablet but ibis paint was my starter and I will probably always be biased when it comes to that app. When I'm on the go and wanna draw I will always just grab ibis and go at it with my finger cuz I have no sonar pen or stylus that is compatible with my phone 😂

The problem with reviewing many apps in one video is that you don't go deep enough to notice things that you should. For example I use Art StudioPro and you missed that it has two types of stabilization, one that works like procreate, and one that works like the one in Clip Studio. You missed other things, like the when using the fill tool you can drag left or right for the tolerance and in that way you can fill shapes with certain small gaps.

Ibis paint for the win🤩

I used procreate for a while when I first got my iPad, and I was immediately turned off when I found out I couldn’t clip layers on top of groups/folders. Clip studio continues to reign supreme 🤷🏾‍♀️

Ibis and Medibang are the goat (sorry im not richie so like i havent breathe in clip or procreate)

On Medibang Paint (both versions,) you can actually turn on a setting to activate the color picker. If you go to Multi-Gesture Setting and turn on the Eyedropper Long Press setting, then hold down the Apple Pencil on the area for the color to choose, it works. I usually turn down the long press delay because it feels too long to wait the default time. Though it is a little buggy, as sometimes it just activates the brush and leaves a dot there instead of selecting the color. And if you turn on Finger Mode in the pen pressure settings, this turns your finger into a transparent version of your current brush. Switching to your pencil instead of your finger turns it back into the actual color you were using.

tbh as a ibispaint x user who used to use medibang paint, i think ibispaint is more gentle w the ads. i used to get so many ads when using medibang and the premuim advertisment when loading the app wouldn’t let me draw so i just stopped using it

I wish the iPad version of Clip studio paint had a one time payment version like it does on desktop cause then I would totally buy it when it’s on sale! I live in Europe so it’s already pretty pricey for me but there’s no way I can afford the monthly subscription plan and I prefer drawing on my IPad. I have a on and off relationship with procreate lmao. I actually use both Ibis paint and medibang paint, mostly Ibis paint though, and they both work pretty well for me. I’m fine with the free versions for them honestly.

clip studio paint #1 can't deny that.

Fresco does WAAAAAAAY more than you showed here. Unfortunately it isn’t marketed by Adobe its own company well at all. It has pixel brushes and vector as well. The motion graphics tools are insane. You never have to touch the live brushes if that’s not your vibe. 95% of the app works for total free without ads. But if you want premium it’s a whopping $10 per year. Then you can import your own brushes and have access to Adobe Fonts/more cloud space. ;)

For infinite painter, you can edit the max size of the brushes in the settings of whatever brush ur using, and can drag the color picker put by pressing & holding the wheel

I have been using IbisPaint for a while and really loved this drawing app(especially since they had added an animation feature, bless 🙏). It’s probably my own opinion since before Ibis Paint, I used to draw on another drawing app that.. isn’t a drawing app. But yes, I really love Ibis Paint and was happy with your review~ 😊

IDK WHY THESE DEVELOPERS THINK ITS OKAY TO CHARGE A MONTHLY OR EVEN A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION. THERES HARDLY ANY BACK END ON A UTILITY APPLICAITON LIKE THIS. WHY DOE SIT REQUIRE A CONSTANT FLOW OF TRANSACTINS TO USE THE APP. ONE TIME PAYMENT SHOULD BE ENOUGH. THIS MAKES ME WANT TO SPEND LESS MONEY

I refuse to use clip studio because of the monthly payment (despise those things with a flaming hatred) so I’ve been using Procreate and something called Concepts. Concepts isn’t even meant for drawing so I’m clearly fine with the minimum functions lol. Only thing I dislike about Procreate is the limited layers and how the clipping works. I don’t use stabilization so it’s not one of the things that bothers me. I did use Ibis Paint on my phone before, so I might try that on my IPad too. Good vid!

im an infinite painter user myself, i used to use ibispaint but i enjoyed painter's UI, brushes and general feel a lot more! ibis is now just a side editing app though im a mobile user, i dont use tablets so there'd that

Art studio pro does have the option for turning off finger touch drawing its the pencil icon at the top left of the interface

One thing to note is Fresco also has an erase with brush. It’s done through the Touch Modifier. I personally use Fresco as my main art program since I also didn’t like how simple Procreate felt and, because I have the full CC Suite, Fresco was added to it when it was introduced

tbh clip studio paint is the best drawing programm especially the ex version like there is no better one

Madibang paint actually can save using his own cloud, not only in ipad storage, you just need to move your drawing to the cloud section. I moved like this my old drawings in medibang paint from my old ipad to the new one, also you can open your saved in cloud drawings in any device, not only apple’s, cause the cloud is linked to your account in medibang
