So far, this has been almost an ode to Procreate as the best digital painting software (fair to point out that it’s not a sponsored part of the post!). But tutorials, that Procreate has in a free access, are a great help: they demonstrate you a new feature and, probably, let you discover a new artist to follow on Instagram. Although, can say for sure that some marvellous drawing software functions are hard to find: you just stumble upon them. Haven’t found anything significant in terms of disadvantages throughout the use of Procreate. Speaking of, the same Apple Pencil now allows you to expand drawing tools onto the 3D Model experience, helping to work on effects, lighting, gloss, and reflectivity of voluminous objects. The brush stroke tools in Procreate were perfect before, but the developers set a new higher ground once again: the smoothness of lines and a sensitive stylus pressure turn an Apple Pencil into the extension of your hand so naturally. Among the announced editing tools every Procreate user can boast about there are Stroke Stabilization, 3D Model Painting, Page Assist, a suite of accessibility features, and more adjusted layers & resolution settings, made to run wild with M1s and iPads. Beyond that, Affinity Designer is a wonderful digital drawing software you won’t regret purchasing.Ī couple of words, dedicated to the new drawing software update release, as the introduced features worth to be emphasized. Well, to wrap it up, just don’t confuse Affinity Designer with Affinity Photo, these are completely two different things. Now this drawing software provides a better user experience for all the MacBook Pro owners (the proper technical boost for such a powerful M1 chip-driven computers). Cheat move but a very handy one when there was an urge to fix some assets and work on heavy vector graphics files.Īs for the recent updates, Affinity has delivered the freshest update for macOS. The second cherished feature was the ability to open and edit AI files, sometimes even the complicated ones. Thankfully, the problem was fixed in no time! However, before the very first updates were released, the command for the formats switching crashed the program without saving the results. Such a convenient tool for digital drawing, it saved tons of time we could spend on preparing the project for the big release. What really was miraculous and the best about Affinity Designer is the magic switch between pixel and vector formats! It was just a matter of clicks.
