However, there are a few things that I would love to see in future versions of the app that I felt were lacking. The experience feels more customizable, and as an Adobe Creative Cloud user, the rhythm of working with Adobe Fresco felt very natural. In Adobe Fresco, you have pop-up windows that can be moved around freely so you're always on the same screen as your work. In Procreate, edits to brushes open in a separate screen interface. One part of the Fresco interface I enjoy is that basically everything happens on one screen. For example, if you’ve already tried Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, not much about Adobe Fresco may even feel very unfamiliar to you. Adobe has always been good at making all of their products look and feel consistent. InterfaceĪt first glance, the interfaces for Procreate and Adobe Fresco look very similar. Below is my opinion based on my own personal experiences. I hope that after this review, you are more familiar with the Adobe Fresco app and why it might be a useful addition or alternative to your current creative workflow. 96% said they used Procreate as their preferred digital drawing app, and 75% have Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions.Īfter about 1 month of creating exclusively in Adobe Fresco, I’m happy to share with you my thoughts on how it compares to the beloved Procreate. Then I decided to hold an (unofficial but still insightful) survey in my Instagram stories that revealed that out of around 100 people, 70% had never even tried Adobe Fresco.

It wasn’t until I started watching other lettering artists and illustrators on Adobe Live that I had the idea of using Adobe Fresco.

I figured that Procreate was the best digital drawing app out there, and since I found myself comfortable with my workflow, there was no sense in changing. For this reason, I’ll admit that I was slow to adopt Adobe Fresco. As a professional lettering artist and designer, I’ve been using Procreate for over 3 years now on my iPad Pro.
