- Ummm.. First of all, It is for windows!!! It really does have some similarities and outrages features compared with procreate... One of the best open-source software too... Guest • Jan 2021 • 1 agrees and 3 disagrees
- The beakon of open source apps. Mansampard01 • Jan 2019 • 32 agrees and 19 disagrees
- it's a very vast illustration program with great tools and is easy to use, a program from the comunity to the comunity, it's open source and the (in my opinion) the best the digital illustration world can offer. Guest • Dec 2020 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It might have the same features as ibis paint x Guest • Nov 2020
- I really want Procreate but Krita is really good. Guest • Nov 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Awesome tool! Probably the best free and open-source software to make digital drawing and painting. It's not available on iPhone/iPad though. POX • Apr 2020 • 4 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Out of all of the products listed (most of which I have used), Krita is the easiest, most affordable, and most resourceful program! Guest • Feb 2020 • 8 agrees and 5 disagrees

- Krita was almost exactly like procreate plus its free one of the best drawing apps I've seen while looking for procreate altetnative. Guest • Jul 2019 • 10 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Full of resources, easy brush and texture editing, simple UI, very fast and great comunity for research. Guest • Oct 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Honestly,very good controls and brush use. Plenty of options and choices to make while painting Guest • Oct 2019 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees
- It runs smoothly and has a wonderful range of brushes for all types of art (as an artist of animals, I love the bristle tool!). Brushstrokes are smooth and the program works really well with Wacom tablets. The interface is quite simple and, even if you are stuck, there are documents and tutorials on the internet. A brilliant tool, would recommend as a great and completely free computer-based alternative for Procreate for all types of artists :) Artfulsilver • Aug 2017 • 31 agrees and 28 disagrees
- Free, Open source, and packed full of features. While it may be focused for Desktop over iOS, it's available for all Systems (Mac, Windows and Linux/Unix), it is fairly fluid and depending on your system, could work very well, especially with a Digital Drawing Tablet from Wacom, Ugee, etc. Guest • Jan 2019 • 15 agrees and 27 disagrees
- Tons of great features, albeit a little lag. Guest • Aug 2017 • 16 agrees and 12 disagrees

Autodesk SketchBook

Drawing software featuring an unobtrusive user interface and a powerful drawing engine.
- It is SO easy to navigate and has so many different brushes and tools! It's somewhat similar to Ibis Paint X and Procreate, but it's definitely easier to use, as someone who has tried all three apps. I would definitely recommend Autodesk SketchBook to anyone, beginner or expert. Guest • Oct 2020 • 10 agrees and 3 disagrees
- it has lots of brushes! there is no possible way that you won't find what brush you are looking for. It has many categories and as: smudge,basic,artist even glow and MANY more! It is my favorite! <3 Guest • Aug 2020 • 8 agrees and 3 disagrees
- Not enough tools or too difficult to find Guest • 3 days ago
- I have been using Autodesk for over 2 years and it is literally the BEST free drawing app i have found. There is literally barely anything you can't do with this app. Guest • Nov 2020 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees
- It is free, its is simple to use Guest • May 2020 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It's a good alternative but it may not have as many possibilities as Procreate did Guest • Jan 2019 • 28 agrees and 18 disagrees
- Really easy to use and has a lot of different brushes Guest • Apr 2020
- Intuitive interface, fast and great brushes. Also free. Guest • Dec 2018 • 22 agrees and 15 disagrees
- This is really easy to use and draw it also doesn't cost money! Guest • Nov 2019 • 3 agrees and 3 disagrees
- absolutely fave drawing app, only downside is you cant use brushes from the community Guest • Feb 2018 • 22 agrees and 12 disagrees
- simple download, simple layout, easy to learn, yet still has enough depth and options for a skilled graphic designer or artist. plain and simple interface makes it easy to learn, download is quick and simple. you have to create an autodesk account though, but the plus to that is you can use all other autodesk programs with that account. Guest • Jan 2019 • 5 agrees and 5 disagrees
- it is free, and the desktop version is especially powerful Guest • Apr 2019 • 3 agrees and 4 disagrees
- good menu, wish custom brush creation option would be a bit more easy, like a template for creating your own brushes, smudge tool, eraser brush tool, etc Guest • Apr 2018 • 6 agrees and 5 disagrees
- File formats, etc etc etc. crap compared to procreate.. :/ Guest • Sep 2018 • 2 agrees and 7 disagrees

MediBang Paint

A lightweight software for illustration and making comic books on Windows and Mac OS.
- Medibang has very limited brushed and other ways to draw and I find it quite clunky. Guest • Oct 2020 • 6 agrees and 3 disagrees
- 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! uhada • Sep 2019 • 16 agrees and 8 disagrees
- because is not difficult like procreate Guest • Apr 2019 • 16 agrees and 20 disagrees
- 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. Guest • Sep 2017 • 31 agrees and 21 disagrees
- For me great set of brushes, easy to use, cool tools like joining layers etc. And also beautiful and very readable design of the whole software makes it really easy to learn. Guest • Jun 2018 • 11 agrees and 9 disagrees
- I've tried Medibang, but it's just not as good because it doesn't have very good brushes. Guest • Jun 2017 • 14 agrees and 31 disagrees

ibis Paint X

ibis Paint is an easy yet powerful drawing app made with tools for sketching manga right at your fingertips.
- Because it is almost identical to procreate and it has so much brushes and you can also watch an ad to unlock the brushes that you have to pay for 18 hours! Amazing! <3 Guest • May 2020 • 9 agrees and 8 disagrees
- Procreate is just the same as Ibispaint but I saw all over the internet that procreate has more brush(s) than Ibispaint and I hope that you will add a bit more brush:> viol10632 • Nov 2020 • 5 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Very good with manga drawings and has tons of brushes to help you do even realism. Also has an easy layer set up. Guest • Apr 2020 • 5 agrees and 2 disagrees
- All I have to say is that it's amazing. I love it, when I edit on it it's so easy to make everything look awesome. <3 Guest • May 2020 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees
