    Comments about Krita as an Alternative to Procreate
    Comment summary: Krita is highly appreciated as a capable, free alternative to Procreate, often praised for its comprehensive features and strong community support. However, users highlight that it remains a desktop application, with no support for iPad. Krita is noted for its ease of use, versatility, and compatibility with various drawing tablets. It is considered one of the best open-source illustration tools, providing a similar experience to Procreate across different platforms.

    Awesome tool! Probably the best free and open-source software to make digital drawing and painting. It's not available on iPhone/iPad though.

    You can do almost everything with it that you'd do with Procreate. However shading is a little harder, but you can do it after some practice.

    Medibang has very limited brushed and other ways to draw and I find it quite clunky.

    You get a classic interface with a lot of the painting and editing tools you know from Photoshop. Some limitations, but it's free (with a few ads in the menu). Personally I use Affinity Designer and Photo that are not free, but very powerful!

    I like Ibis as an alternative because I have an android tablet and Procreate is unsupported. I don't want to get an Ipad because of the great features android comes with.

    Infinite Painter can do basically everything that Procreate can. But it's more affordable. It has a large variety of brushes. I think it is a really great alternative.

    Avaible on both tablets and computers. Initially made with manga in mind, it's no less capable for illustration, concept art, drawing etc. than Procreate is. Native animation support (although unlimited frames are in the EX version only). Unfortunately, mobile port is subscription-based.

    In my opinion, clip studio has amazing preformance even with my low amounts of RAM. brushes are extremely customizable and its really easy to learn, especially for a professional program. I would highly recommend if you're in need of a simple yet capable drawing or animating tool on any platform.

    *Full desktop version IS available in ArtRage (and also offers lighter versions for iPad and other tablets, and phones). *Richness of textures: even if printed in flat 2D, gives a sense of thickness of oils and other media, and grain. *Affordable, and no need to renew licence yearly: lifetime full ownership.
