1. 5/5Long Time User, Missing Some Features from ArtStudio

   I have been using ArtStudio since the first version on the iPad 1 and I do all my digital art on it. It’s a great app to have when you’re on the go and still want to work on art. ArtStudio Pro introduces a lot of good features, like customizable color palettes, rotating the canvas, and a much nicer Lasso tool. The Apple Pencil works great with it, especially the Taper brush. Being that this is an app I swear by and recommend to everyone, I do have only two main complaints. In the original ArtStudio it was possible to make custom brushes. I used this to make grass, flower, and tree brushes that were VERY handy. ArtStudio Pro does not seem to offer the ability to make custom brushes, and I’ve had to hold off from doing landscapes unless I want to draw everything from scratch. Secondly, resizing the canvas was much easier before, as you could choose the dimensions and then crop your art with a square that would encompass the area you wanted to keep. In ArtStudio Pro, there is no preview of the resized canvas, so it’s all guesswork on what dimensions to use and where to crop. I paid more money for this so it doesn’t make sense it’d be missing things the old app got right. I will probably be using this app til the end of my days, so hopefully they can add these features in newer updates to make things a bit easier for those of us who enjoyed the other app too!

3. 4/5Needs some work

   To start off, let me say that I LOVE ArtStudio and Luckyclan. The original ArtStudio has allowed me to create my best visual art since I was in eighth grade, up until now— I’m in 11th grade. This is a very sleek app, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into its development as well as time and energy. However, it is very tiring and almost frustrating to use it from what I have seen so far, with a lot of features it doesn’t need and a lot of unnecessary steps to do things a single command would do. It seems TOO responsive and very sensitive at times, especially to rotation and zooming, and the transform option is not very responsive. The UI and the way the brushes functioned in the old app, as well as the delay/lack thereof on certain things in the old app was what made it attractive to me as a learning artist, and it still is! The complication of the new app is what makes it so hard to use, as for a person like me, a user-friendly setup is COMPLETELY required. Its interface is nice, however it is NOT user friendly. Too complicated with too many hidden features, and it’s so... I don’t know, flat? Like. It’s not fun to use due to the look of it. I however am staying positive and looking forward to future updates and will continue to try to learn the app. I’m not giving up just yet! But my main art app for now— as art is how I make money— will have to be ArtStudio for iPad. Thank you!

4. 5/5Impressive, powerful, underrated

   Ive been a hobby artist all my life and with in the last few years trying to elevate my craft. I started my art practices with vector in adobe with mouse in illustrator circa 2017 and found myself with an iPad in 2020. I’ve tried all manor of apps from procreate to heavy paint to infinite painter & affinity design AND clip studio paint. While all of them have their strengths and I typically have to go between the apps to get desired results out of each app. Sometimes pulling a single idea from app to app. On iPad it feels almost impossible to get something that feels as complete, responsive and crisp as photoshop. And even then photoshop is very sluggish. Now with adobe being adobe I think its time more then ever to support other creative softwares in the field. So, then I decided I was going to really look at this app and what it had to offer. Its truly a hybrid app that allows you to Taylor your experience, tweek things and get an accurate stroke no matter brush or pen (really supposed by lasso). If you’re looking for a forum and manual heavy app with a learning curve as intimidating as the big players this one is for you. Advanced users rejoice. Out of the box the fresh app is quite easy to follow. But you can muddy it up all you want and it’s honestly a good time!

5. 5/5Better than ProCreate if you want a more PC-like experience.

   tl;dr, if you’re more familiar with the traditional drawing software on PC, this is the app you wanna pick. I’ve been doing some digital sketches in my free time for quite some time and I brought myself an iPad last year. I mostly use Krita on my PC with a pen display before I got the iPad. I’ve told that Procreate is one of the top notch drawing app on iPad and I spent 10 bucks on it and after first few attempts, I immediately noticed that the app is so far away from the traditional drawing software like Krita and Photoshop. Looking around the internet communities I got this app recommended by lots of posts claiming that this is the app for those who has more experience in digital drawing, hence I spent 15 bucks on it to give it a shot after hesitation. At the first glance I can tell that this looks a lot like the UI I’m familiar with, and working with this app for some time I can tell this is the way I recognized in the past. It has no layer limitations like Procreate, so I can work a lot comfortable with no worries, and the brush feels so much better. I will definitely recommend you get this app, with only 5 bucks more expensive you’ll get something more polished and better. I am not regretting purchasing this app.
