'''Controls'''- The controls are pretty complicated and take a
while to figure out.
=== 4. Sketchbook Pro- $4.99 ===
Sketchbook Pro has consistently been the “go to” for many
digital artists on iPad. Most artists whom I know who aren’t
caricaturists cannot say enough good things about Sketchbook
Pro. This is an app that has been used in the live-digital
environment before but will definitely slow things down a bit.
The controls in this app are gesture based and rely heavily
on complicated finger movements to make simple things
happen. There are a variety of brushes available that glide
very smoothly and feel very natural. There are many coloring
options available, but since there are no gradient options or
bucket fills available, blending color is mandatory and can be
time consuming.
'''Cool features include:'''<br>
'''Mirroring-''' Draw one half of the face and the other half will be
duplicated instantly.<br>
'''Brush Selection'''- There are more brushes than you can
shake a stick at!<br>
'''Pressure Sensitivity'''- If you have a pressure sensitive stylus,
it can easily be synced with this app.<br>
'''Cons:'''<br>
'''File Memory'''- The more pixels you require, the fewer Layers
you are given. Ex: 1800x2400= 4 Layers<br>
'''Gesture Controls'''- Modulating your line width and opacity
can get pretty complicated.<br>
'''No Fill or Gradient'''- Coloring could take a while without these
tools.
===3. Procreate- $4.99===
Procreate is a pretty amazing drawing app. The strokes in this
app are seamless and the brushes look as close to the real
thing as you can get. The controls are extremely easy to get
used to with the incorporation of Size and Opacity sliders. The
simple and easy to understand design of this app makes it
extremely easy to get the hang of, which is why Procreate is
ideal for live-caricatures.
'''Cool features include:'''<br>
'''Canvas Rotation'''- The ability to rotate your canvas during the
drawing process.<br>
'''Pressure Sensitivity'''- Definitely has the best pressure sensitivity
'''on the market.<br>
Layer Properties'''- Each layer can easily be modified with the
tap of a button.<br>
'''Big Project/More Layers'''- You don’t have to sacrifice layers
when working on a large project with a high pixel count.
'''Cons:'''<br>
'''Pen Quality'''- Most drawing apps can simulate a marker
stroke fairly easily. Not so much with this app.<br>
'''No Gradient or Fill'''- Better start working on your blending!
