I'm armed with an iPad and an iPencil (is that what it's called?) and need to do illustrations for various purposes (product design, youtube videos, etc). We have the Adobe suite at work but all the desktop stuff seems impossibly difficult to learn when I'm not inclined that way and I only have a small amount of time to devote to artwork.
At the moment I'm doing my scribbles in Notes but they'll need redrawing by my graphics chap - I'd rather be able to do the less complex and non-animated stuff myself.
Having googled this there is an absolute ton of choices! Was also wondering about the iPad version of AutoCAD for engineering drawings.
Procreate
Paper
Adobe Draw
Adobe Sketch
Autodesk Sketchbook or Concepts if you want more structure.
Procreate is very good too but it's very 'arty'
I'm not at all arty! Something that can take my line drawings and turn things easily into straight lines or tidy curves, to give me diagrams like you might see in a textbook or modern infographics.
2D or 3D? If the latter I downloaded the trial version of Shapr3D recently - incredible bit of software, only works with the Pencil but it's so intuitive. Really powerful as well, parametric design etc.
I suppose there's no reason why you couldn't just use the 2D drawing tools and skip the 3D stuff if that's all you need? Actually if you need to make dimensioned drawings, etc, it might be perfect.
Sketchbook is great
perhaps LibreCAD for technical drawings
also check out Mischief as a ideas sketching platform
I found autocad on a tablet pretty frustrating, that may be because i use bigger cousin and really get deeper into the commands.
i imagine its significantly better with a prper pen though.
Graphic for iPad - it's like Adobe Illustrator light. It's a vector programme and you can produce everything from simple layout / sketches through to multi-layer designs with complex fills etc.
