Similar to Photoshop’s debut on iPad in 2019, the core functionalities are here with Illustrator for iPad. Illustrator is the third desktop Adobe app to be made available on the iPad after Lightroom and Photoshop. Now, the company has indeed launched the tablet version of its popular desktop app used for illustrations. It said that the app will be announced in 2020. Wijtze Valkema is a commercial illustrator who believes in creating upbeat illustrations in a grey world.At its MAX event last year, Adobe announced that it is working on a separate Illustrator app for iPad.

Given the short time I've spend with my iPad Pro so far I can imagine I will write a follow up post in a couple months time. Pixel-based, which is why I haven't spend much time with it, but the interface looks really nice. – Heavy on the options making navigation a bit chaotic + As close as it gets stylistically to actually drawing on paper I likethe 6B pencil and the damp brush a lot. Barely needs introduction as this app is an industry standard. Pixel based, very fleshed out set of brushes, pencils and paints. – The freehand pen tool is too simplified, would definitely need more accuracy to use it + Pretty much all the Adobe Illustrator ingredients I need on an iPad without crazy features I don't need while keeping it all workable in terms of navigation Not being able to use keyboard shortcuts on the iPad Pro, I have to rely on easy to control menus and navigation, and Inkpad managed to deliver just that. Just one of the vector based apps I downloaded to see what it can do, Inkpad could very well become my Adobe Illustrator on the go. No way to rotate canvas or objects other than 90 degrees – No way to select and manipulate separate shapes, unless you draw every shape on its own layer. + Simple, fast, great synching options with your desktop Super stripped down app focused on drawing freehand.
Makes more sense using PhotoshopĪdobe Draw. – Vector users probably won't get the most out of this.

As mentioned, when opening Astropad on both your Mac desktop and your iPad Pro, you're able to control your entire computer using your Apple Pencil on your iPad's screen. In Adobe Draw, I pick a colour palette to work with, in this case a three colour palette, a soft orange, a bright green and black.Īstropad. I take a screenshot of my sketch and bring it into Adobe Draw as an image layer (2). I am also quickly testing the colours in Sketch to decide which colour goes where. As I am also using Adobe Draw, it's nice to have the menus, layers and options in the same place. I have also used ProCreate for sketching, and although ProCreate's brushes are nicer, I like the simplicity of Adobe Sketch. I start sketching out a composition in Adobe Sketch (1). It sounded like a more mobile version of a Wacom Cintiq (with the added benefit of apps like Duolingo, Skype and Transport Tycoon*, to name a few of my favourites) Here's how far I've been finetuning a workable vector illustration process using my iPad Pro: The reason I went for an iPad was Astropad's app initially, promising me to mirror my Macbook's interface to my iPad screen, where I am able to use all my Macbook apps (and brain) with the touch of my Apple Pencil. It was at this point that I started exploring pen-to-screen based hardware. Lately however, I have been searching for ways to add freehand shapes to my style because sometimes a character needs more than a circle for a head. I have added a human touch, an organic element, a bit of surprise in the past by printing out parts of my illustration on a small scale, scanning it back in and playing around with the levels to take the harshness from some of the vectors, giving the shapes a rough edge an a bit of grain. Putting together a jungle composition and copy-pasting the same leave or tree one time too often and your artwork looks cheap, or at least a bit too computerised.
Illustrating something involving technology and squares feel fitting. Scaling it up and a big, perfectly circular head shape can look a bit too perfectly circular. Working on a small scale – spot illustrations for instance – it makes sense to keep the shapes and lines as sharp and straight as possible, if only for printing arguments.
It depends on the subject matter to decide if squares and circles are sufficient in telling the story visually or if I feel the need to bring in a bit of hand drawn, organic elements. I have been playing around with an iPad Pro for a couple weeks and here is how it added a new direction to my style.Īs vector illustrator I am mostly building compositions with geometric shapes.
