![]() ![]() Everything was easy to navigate and didn’t require me to look up any tutorials. I feel like Artstudio is a mashup between the two with also Photoshop functions thrown into the mix. I also liked Procreate for its simplicity, however, it lacked some of the functions that I loved in CSP EX (ahem like a working auto select ahem). ![]() I always liked MediBang Paint on iOS because it is very similar to the pc version and other programs on the pc, but always hated that it is cluttered at times. The layers and brushes were hidden away as pop ups along with other things like the color wheel and adjustments. I always liked as much space to work on as possible, so that was a nice thing. The interface has everything on it wit it being too cluttered. The app was quick and quickly gave me a starting canvas to work with. So without further ado, let’s get started! This review is more so coming from a person who mainly does cartoons, so if you’re looking whether it’s a good app for painting I won’t be able to help much, sorry TwT. I’ll only be covering the iOS version and will be comparing it to Procreate (a way more popular art app that most people are familiar with) and pc art programs. I really wanted to try it the app since I heard great things about it. To enabled Clipping Mask open Layer’s popover, go to layer’s details, and tap ‘Masking’ button (or in top menu Layer->Mask/Clipping Mask/Enable Clipping Mask).I got Artstudio Pro for Christmas. ‘Clipping Mask’ layer changes only a pixel’s color of the layer (or group) below, transparency is not changed. i recommend learn about “Clipping Mask” layer’s feature - it is perfect feature for shading. SO you can for example paint some stuff on many layers, then move these layers into group, and add effect to the group). I really recommend testing this, effect can be added even to layer’s group. to get Glow or Drop Shadow filter effect (and many more nice effects) use layer effects feature (layer effect is mechanism to add non-destructive effect like Glow, Dorp Shadow, Bevel/Emboss without modifying original layer). Lasso tool - just tap-and-hold (or just tap if it is already active) the “Select Rectangle” tool icon in left toolbar to make painting strokes smooth, tap “More.” button in bottom toolbar, and increase “Smoothing” value. You can also tap-and-hole ‘Undo’ button in right toolbar to show Redo button. there is nice gesture to Undo/Redo: 2-finger tap to Undo, 3-finger tap to Redo. It is disabled by default because it add small lag after each stroke, and makes document file bigger. to enable Screen Recording - go to Artstudio ->Preferences. ![]() there is Rasterize feature also in top menu: Layer->Rasterize you can disable/set threshold of Canvas Rotation in Artstudio->Preferences - to enable layer’s ‘Lock Alpha’ - tap ‘padlock’ icon in layers view and choose “Lock Transparency” ‘Grain Merge’ blending is not available, the most similar is probably ‘Linear Light’ to add reference photo tap Layer->Add->Add Layer From Photos - the main painting/drawing tool is “Paint” (paintbrush icon, the one you were using a lot in the video), Pencil tool in Pro version should be used rather to pixel-art, In new version i will probably set it again as a default brush for Paint tool tappering brush is still there - it is called “Legacy ArtStudio” in group “Sketching” (it is default group). ![]() Thanks for a great review of a Pro version. ![]()
