Hi! I hope you’re having a good day! So I do a lot of drawing on paper, and I’d like to start doing more digital stuff but don’t really know where to start. I have an iPad I can draw on, do you have any recommendations for drawing apps I can use? Thank you so much 💕💕 -double heart anon

hi!!!!! I’m having an amazing day because of @you-need-a-jello-shot‘s art it was like the first thing I woke up to and I went !!!! thank you very much and I hope you have an absolutely brilliant day <3

For drawing apps, I use autodesk sketchbook on both the iPad and my laptop, photoshop on my laptop and procreate on the iPad. I’ve also heard good stuff about firealpaca and medibang and clipstudio paint. hope that helps! :D

#I have no idea how to recommend stuff #I use my laptop for drawing mostly because the iPad belongs to my dad I just... steal it sometimes muehehe #uh so these may seem ex but i think there are shadier free things off the net if you don't want to pay #autodesk is free though #and i think firealpaca too #autodesk also has a flipbook function on the desktop and I have been having fun by animating bouncy balls #because this girl's too lazy to draw anything else #oddly enough I have different styles when it comes to each app.#if you see pencil-like kinda grainy textures it's probs procreate and if you see like a more digital painty style it's likely photoshop #if the outlines look soft it's probs autodesk #I have favourite brushes for each app and it shows #I think it's also why each app has a different style for me? it depends on the brushes ig #my first introduction to digital art was a really sad default app on my phone which had no brush choices and max 3 layers #what did i want to say oH right I think you can import brushes and stuff from somewhere or edit yours a bit to customise them but #it's never really occurred to me to find out how #brush-wise the one with the least default brushes is photoshop and I usually go with hard brush with pressure opacity and flow #the brushes I use are often pressure opacity it's like a little comfort zone #that said yay drawing on paper I have not drawn traditional for quite some time and oh gods I'm rusty #which you can see from my attempt at parr- gotta get back to practicing that at some point #not art #I just realised that most of these are for the computer last I checked #in which case my personal fav is procreate on the iPad but it was ex as heck #more reason to use it I suppose XD #some of them have been adapted to be on the ipads but i think they'd work best on the computer?#ah well anyway I hope you have a spiffing day anon this ask was very fun to ramble in the tags about #<3 *sends hugs*
