In this video, I’m testing out Procreate from a designer's perspective. I've always seen it as an artist’s tool, but I wanted to see if it could bridge the gap in my design workflow. I’m following Nathan Brown’s "Procreate for Designers" course to see if I can move from rough sketchbook drawings to polished designs more easily than jumping straight into Illustrator. I'll show you how I customize brushes for better lettering, my coloring process, and my final verdict on whether it's a keeper for Adobe users.
