    I think you forgot to mention an important feature of Vizref, you can also import a .GIF and see it frame by frame for still references from animations! (I don't see any other app do that so I think it was important to just point it out) :D

    One thing I found to be a sorta helpful tip for color palettes is: head on down to the home depot paint dept, pick up the paint combination booklets ( I have all of them), scan them and use them as color pallettes. Sometimes I boost the saturation but for color combo visualizing, it's feels like window shopping versus struggling brain torture. ;-)

    It's not an ipad app, but I use a VR program called gravity sketch to pose and light mannequins quickly, they can be life size and I can move around to make sure the pose looks natural. When you find the best angle you use the camera tool choose how wide angle and snap some shots like a real camera.

    that Manikin app looks pretty cool. downloading that. Pinterest has a pretty decent iPad app, if you are looking for inspiration. It has some issues: it is almost impossible to follow individual pinners, and it is chock full of ads. But it is great for just flipping through and tucking images into your personal boards

  • @Sunila_DragonladyCH
    @Sunila_DragonladyCH 3 года назад

    I'm a bit late here but I have a few comments that might help people who see this later on.
    1. If you already have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription you can use Adobe Capture to make palettes and much more, textures, detect what a font is (and see if the Adobe library has it or something similar), patterns. And all of this is saved into the library you access on all devices.
    2. I personally don't like Paperlike that much. It's better than nothing but I wish I remembered what screen protector I had on my previous iPad as it had more tooth and suited me better. Not to mention that the new Pencil doesn't suit me either I find the sensation is not as good as the first Pencil, I miss that spring in the tip that gave me more control.
    3. I keep forgetting about it, but for more fantasy orientated illustrations, Hero Forge is actually pretty cool to reflect on poses for all sorts of creatures. Same as you say with the chair thing, I can draw all kinds of poses, but I will default to the same ones so this give me more ideas, and you can change the clothes and props too.

    i use DAZ 3D for character planing on PC first, then i transfer file over from DAZ as "png" or "jpeg" over to ipad pro via email to myself from PC, open and save image to pics on ipad from email on ipad then move it into "Procreate". if your not the greatest figure drawing artist, this is the quickest way to learn while having fun as i have discovered.
    PS i know DAZ 3d isnt a ipad app, but its free!

    I was lucky enough to snag vizref and coolors for free during their promotional period, I use Morpholio trace and concepts fo conceptual sketches and instead of coloors you can use palette which can extract color palettes from an image, prettty useful app. Another great app is Canva for the people who are not famililar with vector drawings.

    I found an app that had no downloads so was weary but it's pretty good for converting images like PNG to a video format including Gifs,MP4 and APNGs also maintains the transparency. It's called APNG Toaster. There's a Gif version but not sure it's needed if you get this. I mention this because a lot of animation apps output PNG sequences.
