Layer drop-down Menu on the iPad showing each interaction one can have with a certain layer We are big fans of clean drawing interfaces but really like having all our tools within reach, while having a dedicated button on the upper right corner that makes it all go away when more workspace is needed. Having a dedicated clickable command for the tools and actions one uses often clearly indicated in a drop-down menu, especially when considering the iPad, is a tremendous interface improvement over attempts such as Procreate’s, where most of your actions are based on gestures, and certain features are deeply buried in the UI. The idea is that if you’ve ever used Photoshop you’d feel right at home using Artstudio Pro. The unified user interface makes switching back and forth between Mac and iPad an easy affair, largely thanks to the Photoshop-like interface both versions are trying to mimic. Its developer, Lucky Clan created an interface that isn’t only similar to Adobe’s solution in its appearance but is almost identical on desktop and mobile – a rare occurrence among today’s watered-down software available on the iPad. It has been around since 2010, when the first iPad was released, but it got re-released last year rewritten from the ground up to serve those Apple-oriented digital professionals looking for a more affordable Photoshop alternative. Working on an inked drawing section using the desktop version of Artstudio ProĪrtstudio is primarily a natural painting program that mimics true drawing and painting tools for those who wish to use their iPad as a digital canvas to create art.

Here comes an interesting piece of software that tries to be your Photoshop on your Mac and your Procreate on your iPad. To haul creative professionals away from Photoshop, one needs to offer a serious set of tools in an easy to operate package, and must have a presence on both desktop and tablet devices that are inching towards becoming the creative platform of the future. Several software companies must feel the same way about this, because more and more contenders are trying to challenge Adobe by offering serious alternatives to its complex solutions. Since – strictly speaking – we don’t need most of the photography-based features that Photoshop has on offer, we would salute having its drawing-specific feature set, that is relevant for our work, available as a separate purchase at a much cheaper price point. Although we adore Adobe Photoshop for being the most robust solution to ink our drawings in a raster-based environment, we must pay $9.99/€ 12.69 each month to have access to it. Digital color pastel texture created and applied in Artstudio Pro for iPadĪlthough we at digital EPIGRAPHY are committed to the software that works best for our field and studio drawing needs, there are instances when one needs to experiment with alternatives.
