This means I can create base images using pixel brushes and then go over them with crisp vector lines (which remain smooth no matter how much you zoom in or out) for a beautiful comic book-style effect.ĭigital drawing of a snake in Adobe Photoshop. One of the most important aspects for me is that Adobe Fresco allows both raster and vector layers within one document. Of course, digital drawing is far more forgiving, so I can undo it when necessary or mix brush types in a way that wouldn't work in real life.Īdobe Fresco offers far more tools than Procreate. The pencil brush strokes react so believably that I often forget that I'm not using paper and pencil. For one thing, it's absolutely free, super intuitive, has plenty of brushes, and offers dozens of other tools to help me create the artwork I envision. I've been using Adobe Fresco since it launched in 2019, and I'll choose it over Procreate any day.
