    Ive been using affinity designer on iPad for a year. I gotta admit, IT CHANGED MY LIFE! The number of tools/features it has is just breathtaking and I was able to complete my diploma degree in graphic design with only my iPad. It was a wonderful year as an art student.

    I got Procreate as soon as I got my Apple Pencil, just got Designer this summer when it went on sale but haven’t dived into it yet. Currently in a class for Illustrator so I am going to learn Designer on my own time and maybe use them together. I love Procreate but it doesn’t fully replace Krita/Photoshop or some other desktop app because my base model iPad has trouble with big canvases at 300ppi layer wise, I tend to switch between my iPad and a school desktop with a Cintiq for some projects, don’t know about Designer yet

    You need both anyway as they are designed for different purposes and outcomes, resulting a very different file formats- one is vector based and the other is a raster based photo editor & illustrator. That's why the comparison doesn't make sense to me. If the comparison was between Procreate and Affinity Photo, then that will make sense.

    I have them both, Affinty is my favorite because I learned graphic design in adobe products. My style of art is simple colorbook shapes, and I make vector art. However, when I switched from the Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Designer, I really fell in love with Affinity! In affinity I use mainly vector brushes, but I recently started experimenting with raster and its so much fun. SO, I just got my first iPad and procreate, and using procreate is the closest thing I have ever seen to creating real hand drawn art...and so easy to use, I am sure it has just opened up a whole new realm of design for me! And the animation feature....I’m loving that!

If you do a lot of graphic design with vectors and transparencies, id go with affinity. If you want paintings and realistic sketches and brushes, something more like Photoshop, go with procreate. Id say theyre comparable to procreate- Photoshop and affinity- illustrator

    hahahaha .... i started out with sketchbook, moved to procreate, then switched to affinity designer. affinity designer is superior in any regard. it can do all that procreate does and adds vectors and customized export options. its like 3x what procreate can do. that being said... it´s not a competition. people, just use whatever you´re comfortable with. e.g. i don´t use affinity designer much for drawing, because the real power of it is vectors - in my opinion. if i need to draw, i still fall back on sketchbook and procreate, then i´ll insert the drawing into affinity designer and build layer by layer my vector desgin on top of it. it works together.

    I have both Sketchbook Pro and Affinity. Although access to vector is great for some projects, the feedback on Sketchbook's tools feels much more naturals, more like drawing pen and paper, which allows me to get ideas out faster. The only quirk there is that for output I need to figure out my canvas size ahead of time to make sure it'll work well on export. That is the joy of art, the tools don't entirely matter.

    Affinity designer has lots of brushes, but I find it so much easier to sketch in pro create, it just feels different. And the simplicity of the app is also a big factor for my preference. But affinity designer is way better to create designs or anything related to alignment of shapes and texts. I it's a really great app, I just hope it's more user-friendly.

    As always I enjoy your videos, Brad. Having used Procreate, Affinity Photo/Designer, Clip Studio, Adobe Photoshop and Artstudio Pro, I have to say I like Procreate the best for sheer usability, the essence of a good iPad app. All of the others have a certain desktop feel to them, like the haven’t fully embraced the iPad mode. But then I mostly use it for non-commercial drawing and painting. If I was a graphic designer/ illustrator, I’d be using Affinity or Adobe. It would be fun though, to see a shoot out between all those products.

    I am so glad you mentioned the need to research canvas set up in Procreate. While both programs do have their merits, I am really getting tired of having to rework art for production that comes from Procreate. When I try to help the artists learn about resolution and how to better choose their canvas size if they choose to continue in procreate, they all seem to get irritated and fall back on the same statements. "You must be doing something wrong with my file. Procreate is a pro app. It exports files just fine." Totally disregarding my acknowledgment that they are welcome to continue in it, they just need to tweek how they are using it. There is a lot of marketing and community reporting that treats this app like it's a magical tool and it always poops rainbows. But in the end, all of these apps are just tools manipulating things in much the same way. The difference is understanding them and how to use them to make what you need. Not expecting the app to do all the work and magically be correct in all use cases.

    Affinity Designer can save files in various formats, you can open and edit them later with Desktop Affinity app or Photoshop, Illustrator etc. Sometimes it is great to be able to work with your drawings on Desktop. And Affinity can export vector in SVG which is handy for people creating graphics for websites or apps. I use both apps. Affinity for work (I am a UX/UI Designer) and Procreate to learn how to draw and paint (which is my hobby). Procreate is much easier to use for drawing/painting.

    I bought both. I do have Affinity Designer on my Mac and iPad. I like that Affinity can switch to left hand mode, since I'm a left handed. I am just powering through Affinity. It is nice to be able to save to iCloud and share a file between the Mac and iPad. This comes in handy if I move to a 3rd party app like Silhouette Studio. I am not a power user but I feel like in a few months I will be good enough to make some awesome designs.

    @@rossakis3181 (shrugs) I guess it depends on the person. For me, I'm used to CSP on Windows, so the app version feels much more familiar to me than Procreate or Affinity Designer. Plus, that subscription comes with 10gb cloud storage and sync function. I alternate between using the iPad and Windows version often, so having that sync is a huge time saver for me. And well, in comparison to other subscription service...it's not *that* bad. Annual version is USD$43.99, which when divided by 12 means it's USD$3-4 per month. Maybe your situation is different, but for me it's worth it

    Affinity Designer I personally might update this comment after trying it out based on what you showed and what I first learned graphic design on Affinity Designer especially as a business owner is the ideal. Procreate more feels like for kids or someone who just wants to zone out. New to the Ipad world but, I think if you are designing a website or products Affinity offers more. Thanks for the insight, it's help helpful.

    I have Procreate, Affinity Designer & Photo, but Procreate is my goto app when drawing tho. I've not used Designer much, but I am trying to learn how to do the vector art in it so when I do comic type art, the fill & selection tools will select all pixels in the selected area. That's an issue I have with Procreate, it doesn't always select all the pixels. Plus vector is so clean, smooth, and re-sizable without distortion.

    I reckon that it depends on your style. If you are more of a cartoonist then you might lean closer to affinity designer because it’s a lot easier to do cartoons and it also has vector options. If your more of a painter, then you might want to go with procreate because it gets out of your way when painting and it has a lot of cool brushes. It really just depends on your style. I’m more of a painter, so I went with procreate. I love how procreate has a sleek design and how it gets out of your way when your painting. I also love all the brushes that it has to offer. I like to think of my self as a traditional painter who likes to work digitally because I do everything on one layer, I use really textured and realistic paint brushes and I don’t use any fancy digital tools so procreate is really good for me and my style.

    They serve different purposes. Designer is mainly about vectors and procreate is all pixels. I use both, both are great apps. Procreate is better for sketching or arty or touchup work. Whereas designer is when you must have vectors, like in logo design, layouts, or things that need infinite zoom in quality, or very high res items which procreate cant do. It would make more sense to compare procreate with Affinity Photo, they are closer in function. Although they also really target different audiences.
