Just as the title says really.
Yesterday I popped in to see the guys at the a company I often work with.
I took to opportunity to take back the Wacom Cintiq that they gave me as I just don't use it and I don't like the responsibility of having a £1400 bit of kit laying around.
I found the Cintiq didn't really work for me with the way I work and as I don't really have a designated work area, I found setting it up and packing it away a bit of a pain.
I found my old Bamboo was way better and I just went back to using a pencil and photocopy paper.
Whilst I was there we were chatting creative sh@t and getting WAY to giddy and an iPad Pro got brought out.
It was the boss's daughters's and was in a pink protective foam case so I wasn't that impressed but he fired up Procreate and told me to have a go with the iPencil thing.
BOOM!
I was sold and I now need one like a shark needs to swim.
We had it hooked up to a projector so I was drawing on the studio wall.
It was everything I hoped the Cintiq to be.
The right size. Portable, No cables and power bricks. No fan blowing on my MacBook.
Procreate is easy, intuitive, uncomplicated and put the fun back into drawing and I was totally hooked and it felt like the first time I used a Mac.
It even recorded what I was drawing and made a time-lapse movie of it. O.....M.....G! :O
It was like a simpler version of Photoshop so no over complicated actions and tools to tempt me away from just drawing but you can export to .PSD, air-drop it to a lappy and get all funky there in Ps.
All that and I'd barely scratched the surface.
I can see having one of these not only speeding up my work flow but also making it easier and more enjoyable and that's not even going into all the other stuff it can do.
One of the other guys there had only just had a go and he was the same. We were all like little kids having an epiphany moment.
Procreate is £9.99 and there's even a simple version of Illustrator available for FREE!
Does anyone else here have one and how does it work for you?
BTW. There may be a Wacom Cintiq coming up for sale.
Hardly used. Still in the box.
