Procreate Pocket

If you’re still unfamiliar with the app, we actually previously made a blog about Procreate Pocket Tutorial that you should definitely check out! Here we'll go over once again just why artists all around the world love this app.

‍

Portability

One of the top reasons why artists choose Procreate Pocket is, of course, portability. The app itself is designed to work on a small screen of an iPhone, and it’s made so you can make art with a stylus or even just your fingertips! This lets artists of all levels create digital art wherever they are and whenever they have a free minute from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

‍

User Friendly

Since the app is made for a smaller screen, the UI (User Interface) itself is also much simpler than its iPad counterpart. It’s optimized to give users an easy experience without sacrificing any of the usual capabilities, and it’s absolutely ideal for beginners who are just starting out or may be overwhelmed with the iPad Procreate’s interface. Additionally, because Procreate Pocket is designed specifically for use on an iPhone, it may show better speed and performance. This means that it can run smoothly and quickly, even on older devices!

‍

Price

Another one of the best-selling point (heh sell, get it?) is its price point. Obviously, as the smaller sibling of iPad’s Procreate - Procreate Pocket costs much less for almost just as many features! This makes it a great choice for artists who already has an iPhone and are on a budget since you won’t be needing to invest in a new price-y iPad to use the app.

‍

Features

Lastly, as mentioned above-despite its smaller bite-sized look and feel, Procreate Pocket still has many of the same features as Procreate for iPad. Including layers, brushes, and the ability to export your work in different formats to share wherever you’d like. This means that you can create high-quality digital art on your iPhone, without sacrificing functionality.
