Inkscape vs. Procreate

It is hard for me to say when Inkscape would not be a good fit because of my use. I have referred people to those who provide promotional products as well as those who need to utilize their artwork and have it converted to a format such as Inkscape.

Procreate is well-suited for any illustrator, whether they're a beginner or an expert. It offers a vast range of features that will allow anyone with an artistic inclination to start creating right away. It's also appropriate for budding designers, artists, and animators. While the animation options offered aren't super premium, it is a good place to start learning about animating in layers, e.g., in Photoshop. Procreate isn't suitable for people who want to illustrate vector-based images. The app currently only supports raster images that can't be scaled up.

• Creates excellent vector based graphics
• Quite easy to use
• Free
• Open-source
• Limitless potential with what you can create
• Available on all major operating systems

• Easy-To-Understand Interface
• Wide Range of Brushes
• Custom Asset Sizes
• Animation Options
• Intuitive Design

• It could have more template figures
• It can be difficult to find the documents properties bar
• It might be hard to use at the beginning

• More animation support
• Vector Illustrations
• Cross Platform Functionality

It is very good in general, but there are steps that I wish could be eliminated as they seem to be "duplicative".

Adobe Illustrator is also used in our company sometimes however, Inkscape is used most considering the fact that it is completely free while Adobe Illustrator has to be bought through monthly/annual subscriptions that are expensive. For that reason we always opt for Inkscape. Not only is it a free software, but it includes almost all the features and tools that Adobe Illustrator offers, even though there might be some tools missing here and there, for businesses whose main focus isn't graphic design, Inkscape is the way to go. However if Graphic design or illustration is the only or the main factor of your business, I would suggest going for the investment and getting Adobe Illustrator.

Procreate is the easiest to understand out of all this software. I use it on my iPad, and I find that drawing with the Apple Pencil straight on Procreate is intuitive and simple, unlike using the complicated pen tool on Adobe Illustrator. As I've mentioned earlier, Procreate is a great app for beginners, whereas both Illustrator and Photoshop have steep learning curves. If you want to dive into designing right away, Procreate is your best option!

• Building reusable graphic design templates reduces time taken on repeating design tasks such as video thumbnails.
• Quickly making several design mockups allows us to conceptualize a design effectively before working on the finer details.
• The "Draw Bezier curves and Straight lines" function allows one to quickly copy any shape to then manipulate and add your own spin on the design.
