Procreate

Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room. I’m sure you have seen famous quick sketches of various digital art on TikTok, Instagram, etc., and most of the time, they use the Procreate app. The main reason why is due to its simplicity that benefits both new and veteran artists. Additional benefits include brush customization, the ability to animate, and quick access to adjustment tools.
The twist, however, is that this app is only accessible on iOS. Well, the good news is that you only have to pay for it one time, priced at USD 9.99 or around ₱550. No higher-tier or exclusive premium content is locked behind extra payment. You pay it upfront and are then granted access to all its features.
Sketchup
