When last I’d checked in with the iPad Pro, it was a nascent device with little apps more than Procreate to justify its expense. An hour after hearing the news I rushed out and purchased a new 12.9” iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. Suffice to say, the release of my preferred art tool on the iPad Pro intrigued me. It’s successor, Clip Studio, has been my go-to application for illustration since I beta tested the English localization for Smith Micro. I’ve used some form of Celsys’ art software since about 2004 back when it was called Comic Studio in Japan. It's such a struggle.Clip Studio Paint, the iPad Pro, Art Studio House Arrest, and YouĬelsys recently released a feature complete, no concessions made, portable version of its desktop illustration software, Clip Studio Paint, for iOS and the iPad Pro. SAI is not equipped with this unfortunately.

It can be a pain trying to draw perfect shapes, and especially in backgrounds that use shapes. Some pictures require text been shown on the drawing, example being you'd need to put some text but you can't draw it cause you think it's ugly, or its not even your language. Sometimes you want to change the angle of how you're drawing something, cause it might look weird if you tried doing it upright. I know may artists who use the Fringe tool, it's very nice, and gives a cool look once you've used it correctly with shading. There will be times something just doesn't look right, and you'll need to resize something or move it farther or further inside the picture.įor mouse users, this is glory in Paint Tool SAI, you can almost ink anything, and look like you did it with a tablet. I don't think many people use this, but it just gives the canvas a pretty cool look.
