procreate

It's here! Version 1.5 brings down the hammer with an explosion of new features. The new HD canvas is bigger than a Bluray move, and captures an incredible amount of detail and achieves quality like never before on a mobile device. And, of course, artists will still be able to create 16 layers and access 100 redo/undo states! A first in its class.

Procreate might just be the most exciting digital painting app on a mobile device. We’ve taken desktop performance, added professional features, built an amazing brush engine and squeezed it all into your iPad.

As a first for a mobile painting app, Procreate is engineered to allow creation of completely new brushes in a few easy steps. Make every brush your own with 16 fully-customisable characteristics, many of which are unique to Procreate. Import anything from your Photos library to create endless effects!

Procreate uses the advanced Silica™ painting engine which has been engineered exclusively for iPad, to use every drop of juice from the GPU (graphical processing unit). The result is unparalleled performance on a mobile device, from incredibly responsive brush strokes and 64-bit smudge sampling, to full brush customisation.

Made for professional illustrators and aspiring artists alike, Procreate is the most advanced sketchbook in the world.
