Illustrators generally fall into two camps: Wacom advocates and iPad Pro advocates. Both tablets have their pros and cons, and a few major differences:
When buying an iPad Pro, you can draw and see a picture right on the tablet screen. This effect is only possible on the Wacom Cintiq, which costs more than the iPad Pro.

Portability

If you buy a Wacom Intuos or Cintiq, you can only use it by connecting it to a computer or laptop, so portability and ease of movement are out of the question. To have a truly standalone tablet from a PC, you will need to purchase the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro, which will also cost you much more than the iPad Pro.

When you buy Wacom, you are limited to the applications you use on your computer, usually Photoshop and Illustrator. On iPad Pro, you can choose from a variety of dedicated drawing apps. Now there are many applications suitable for animation, which is also very useful for illustrators.

Multifunctionality

You don't have to use iPad Pro just for drawing. It can be useful to you in other life situations, for example, to check e-mail, post a picture on social networks, edit a movie, etc. You can't do this through Wacom.

Ease of drawing with a stylus

Wacom tablets are renowned for providing a very believable and accurate drawing feel. All the same, this company has been specializing in tools for artists for many years. However, how justified is this, and is the iPad Pro surface really that much different from the Wacom surface? According to my feelings – not much. If you try iPad Pro for the first time, you will notice that its surface is more slippery. But! You can get a very cheap matte screen sticker (I use this one) that will make it look rougher like paper. It should also be noted that Apple is very rapidly developing iPad Pro technology, improving the properties of the pencil. Therefore, when you buy a new iPad Pro, you get a tool that is no less professional than Wacom. That's why he is, in fact, iPad “PRO”.

Software

The second argument of Wacom supporters is usually that Wacom works through professional programs such as Photoshop, which provide file sizes and resolutions (over 300 dpi) suitable for professional work. Indeed, in the early days of the iPad Pro, there were few apps on the market that provided good resolution. But at the moment, the situation is not at all the same. Firstly, the popular Procreate application allows you to choose any resolution and materials for drawing. Secondly, the giant of creative software itself Adobe has released two professional drawing applications for the iPad, these are Adobe Photoshop Sketch and Adobe Illustrator Draw. They integrate perfectly with computer Photoshop and Illustrator through the Creative Cloud service. In them you can draw in vectors and raster graphics.

Note! Often people say that they lack a full-fledged Photoshop on the iPad, like on Wacom or on a PC. To do this, there is a special Astropad application that displays all the contents of your screen on the iPad, thereby turning it into a Wacom Cintiq. You can choose between the free and the paid version of the service (the free version is enough for me). Drawing with Astopad is slightly slower than drawing with Cintiq, but cheaper.

A specialist in our field is considered a good staff if he is ready to perform all tasks quickly and efficiently. But most of all it is valued for its mobility – the ability to implement the most complex graphic tasks “here and now”. Over the years of the existence of the design profession, a huge number of various functional tools and devices have been tried, but at the moment everyone has the same standard – the iPad in conjunction with the graphic editors presented in this top.

Photoshop or Illustrator are top-notch painting tools, but Fresco is marketed as a program that tries to sit on two chairs, providing the ability to work in both vector and bitmap mode. At the same time, it has unique drawing functions.

And unlike Photoshop, the Fresco app is only available for Apple tablets. While Adobe is more focused on the Photoshop iPad app, it remains focused more on photo editing than digital painting.

Fresco's interface has been “copied” from Photoshop, and files can be easily exported to PS (although users in the free version won't be able to export in high resolution).

Fresco is a set of artificial intelligence brushes created by Kyle Webster, especially the watercolor work. Apple Pencil works well with Fresco, the depth of the watercolor changes depending on the pressure you put on the stylus.

This digital iPad app is currently available free of charge.

Inkist benefits from a simple yet stylish interface that has been designed with flexibility and user-friendliness in mind. The app is “free for a limited time”, so hurry up!

In the app, which is based on the Mac sibling, you create layers of color and smooth them against the background, rather than relying on multiple layers. While traditional artists may not like it, the benefits are there!

Pressure-sensitive stylus support is available out of the box, and Inkist has a number of simple, customizable brushes. Pressure-sensitive stylus support is available natively (via the toolbar), so you can be more flexible with strokes, whereas with a simple stylus, regular, quick strokes are ineffective.

The developers behind Layers say “it includes everything you need to create on the go. An art studio in your pocket. ” There is no doubt that having a large selection of tools will help you create a masterpiece.

Draft is not a visual art tool. Featuring a single pen (which is important for Sharpie) and black, red and white, it was designed with the goal of “damn it, easy to draw and share fast.”

The team behind it was tired of creating original sketches and then scanning them and emailing them. After creating Draft, they and the rest of the world had the opportunity to make simple sketches and immediately share them with colleagues.

With a good nib, a good digital artist can create a range of works on the iPad, from quick sketching to more detailed digital painting.

13 SketchBook Ink

SketchBook Ink is a fresh release from the team that gave us Sketchbook Pro. However, this is by no means a replacement, but rather a simplified iPad app with a minimalist interface.

Consequently, SketchBook Ink lacks some important features of Sketchbook Pro. For example, existing brushes are not edited separately from their size, and there are no layers (except for the ability to add a photo as a background layer).

Plus SketchBook Ink in high resolution on output. You can export images to iTunes up to 101.5 megapixels (8727×11636 pixels) or to the Photo app up to 4096×3072 pixels. Although the exported files are flat PNG, non-editable vector files, the images remain in high resolution.

However, it only seems that there are so many limitations, especially the lack of layers, however, additional features will be added along the way for those who create art on the iPad.

14 Paper by Fiftythree

If you're looking for something to sketch without a lot of fuss, check out Paper by Fiftythree.

The clean interface – no menu bar or buttons – brings back the sketching experience to essentials and transforms your iPad into a set of virtual magazines with pages that are easy to flip through.

Designed exclusively in landscape mode, this iPad app is not suitable for creating polished diamonds, but allows for quick concept sketches that are definitely worth looking at.

Like other iPad art apps, there is a simple color palette (with custom swatches), layers, fast and responsive zoom, good smudging and blending options, and great undo capabilities.

Twelve brushes provided include paint loading and wetness settings for a more realistic image. Plus there's a built-in brush editor for creating custom bones that can define shape and grain. Procreate is a powerful tool. In the right hands, it lets you create truly stunning digital artwork on the iPad.

16 ArtRage

Like the PC and Mac versions, the ArtRage iPad app is chock full of options. A range of canvases and paper, as well as a wide range of brushes, pencils, crayons, rollers and pastels.

In the pursuit of realistic art on iPad, you can paint directly on the screen, or use one tool to paint a blob of paint and then mix it with another. ArtRage has a special watercolor brush tool that allows you to create amazing effects.

Once you're familiar with the interface, it's easy to resize the brush to open the color picker, work with layers, and blend / feather various elements together.

Unfortunately, there is some lag when moving or scaling your artwork. However, this does not interfere with the incredible flexibility of this program in painting on the iPad.

17 ArtStudio

Although the interface of this application is not as intuitive as other iPad add-ons, ArtStudio rewards the user with other features. And there are plenty of them.

More than 20 brushes, canvases of different sizes and options that include layers, masks, filters and effects. ArtStudio also includes step-by-step drawing lessons, tutorials, and the ability to export your work to Photoshop.

18 Auryn Ink

Auryn Ink is a specialized watercolor painting app for iPad with a limited set of options compared to other bold apps on the list.

That said, it has all the basics for watercolor art on the iPad. You can choose from different brush tip shapes to create a variety of effects. You can also tweak the canvas textures and the amount of water.

The end result of using this app on the iPad is a lifelike watercolor paint that fades away as you paint, simulating the effect of the paper absorbing ink.

19 Brushes

Legendary artist David Hockney has been spotted using the Brushes app on his iPad. Old, but proven, designed specifically for Apple tablets.

Using the standard toolbar at the bottom of the screen, you can work with the color palette, layers and switch between different brushes. Perhaps best of all, Brushes responds quickly to touch, making it easier to work with.

A useful feature of Brushes is the ability to remember each brush stroke, which allows you to reproduce how you created a particular piece of work on the iPad through the Brushes view.

20 Zen Brush

Designed to be used with a stylus with brush extensions such as the Nomad Brush Stylus, PSofthouse's Zen Brush lets you create strokes on your iPad that mimic traditional Japanese calligraphy brushes.

It's perfect for calligraphy, but any artist who prefers brushwork should appreciate it. Zen Brush is minimalistic when it comes to performance, but what it does is good.

21 Inspire Pro

At first glance, it's hard to figure out what the Inspire Pro has that the competition doesn't. But play around with it and you will find that it is one of the more intuitive iPad apps.

Before you know it, adjust the paint load and brush setting (by rotating the bristles) and it will become a habit.

What we like the most is the dynamic color picker. Just press and hold on a color you've already used and the Inspire Pro will switch the current color to a new one. These are UI design elements that are built for a quick work experience.

22 Sketch Club

Create cool digital artwork with the excellent Sketch Club toolbox

Sketch Club has an excellent set of tools for creating beautiful digital artwork. The app consists of a unique range of flexible digital brushes (44 in total, but more could be done), pens, vector tools, old school pixel art and other fun tools.
