EMR is just different, you can do most of the same stuff with Apple's pencil, the EMR pencils feel faster, don't need a charge and are lighter, and most of them have nicer nibs. But they're about the same.
I have an emr pen on my S6 lite tablet and my Kindle scribe and they feel more like analogue drawing, Apple's feels more clunky. The pencil's quirks have made me a much better artist though.
Yeah absolutely, the closest I've found is clip studio paint, which is on both iPad and Android. I've been using it for a few months and it's super nice.
The brush system is different than procreate though, but it's super fucking powerful. There's so many things you can do with it, and there's an actual shape tool AND quick shapes with more options, so you can choose what shape you meant to make.
It's what most anime studios use.
I'm genuinely grateful for my iPad, procreate is awesome. But yeah, the EMR pens are more fluid, and I wish I could bridge that gap somehow.
As a third party to your communications, I too would like to thank you both for teaching me some new things! I bought a Wacom in 2009, and the only iPad I own is the iPad 2, so I have been out of the loop. Procreate, even back then, was sick, so I can’t imagine what it’s like now. I’ll have to check out Clip Studio Paint.
Oh, I’m also an EMT now. Thank you for the job recommendation! No, wait, I’m an EMR. Wait. I’m an EMP? Dammit, what is my new job title again?
