Procreate for iOS

This digital painting app for the iPad is easy to use and extremely powerful.

Work naturally and fluidly with beautiful customizable brushes, including natural media sets of pencils, charcoal, inks, oil, watercolor, spray paint, airbrushing, abstract, textures, and unique digital tools.

Procreate offers exceptional performance. It's responsive, precise, and fast, and it automatically saves your artwork in the background while you paint. Blend colors with the built-in Smudge tool and watch each stroke blend, decay, or smudge in real time. Paint organically in a minimalist interface that stays out of your way and easily exports your artwork as a layered Adobe Photoshop PSD file.

Glaze

Choose from a variety of painterly effects to apply the look of an oil or acrylic painting, with the texture of thick paint strokes of paint. Enter the Workshop by clicking the button with a hammer and wrench to generate a random effect or create your own unique styles.

Glazing is a painting technique where you apply translucent layers of paint that produce delicate and subtle shifts in color and unify paintings. In digital art, applying a thin layer of texture or color plays the same role. Blend your Glaze painting with your original image for a subtle and natural painting look.
