Speaking of Procreate, that small square button is inconvenient to use.
I disagree, I feel the square button set to color pick is the best solution for quick color picking in any app, it’s much quicker than holding and it makes it impossible to accidentally pick colors.
As for advantages of procreate, I think it saving every brush stroke to the file as it is made is the biggest advantage over artstudio, where saving is intrusive, pauses the app and relying on periodic auto saving leaves room for loss of work when the app crashes or ios shuts it down because you switched to another app for 10 seconds.
You can’t use this small button without looking at it. At least I can’t. Always leads to accidental touches of brush size or opacity slider.
Saving in Procreate is better then in Artstudio Pro, yes. But it leads to two serious app restrictions:
1. Layers limitation
2. You can’t work right into iCloud.
Automatic backups in iCloud in Arstudio is worth few seconds of file saving imho.
I use both apps. But I like where Artstudio goes with design and usability improving, so I want to move to Artstudio competely. One feature of Procreate I miss in Artstudio Pro is it counts how many time I worked on illustration.
