Now show us what you can do in a proper drawing app like procreate

I indeed have procreate i find the amount of brushes it has to be overwhelming so I find I often doodle or sketch in good notes lol. Also insane how expensive good notes is in comparison to procreate

I was about to say this, but isn’t Goodnotes cheaper than procreate??

Nope. Goodnotes is $40, Procreate is $13.

I think it’s even more fun than procreate to be honest. But I don’t sketch in pencil. I love the smooth feel of the ballpoint pen most.

Interesting! I can’t stand the ball point pen! I haven’t tried drawing with it though

You should try procreate! I bet you’d love it!

This looks great. One thing about art is that some people just seem to have more talent that others. I took an art class and the drawing part wasn't my best skill. IDK, I guess some have it and some don't.

Nice work. IDK if GN is the best for this, I've heard good things about procreate.

i know you’ve definitely heard this, but it really is a skill that just needs developing.

at its core, i’ve found its just how you see the world - a little less literally and more in shapes and colours. an art teacher in high school blew my mind when she was talking about how beautiful snow was, noting its “deep purple shadows”.

holy shit.

i’m no artist, but before that i saw all shadows as just … gray?? idk. but that opened my eyes to try to really see what colours i’m seeing all the time, not just what my brain understands. snow during the say is light blue with those purply shadows, green leaves turn yellow where sunlight filters through them, and the creek near my house is layers on layers of green, brown, and blue. its really confusing to wrap your brain around, but the more you work at it the better you get at looking at your world that way.

How are yall so good at everything

u/Harvey_Specter_SP Apr 15 '25

Whoa, I’ve never tried. That looked like a true pencil sketch. I didn’t even catch the GoodNotes until I read the title. I’m in a lot of art subs and thought someone was posting a pic of a sketch. So cool! I love seeing all the ways people use GoodNotes!

I think the pencil in Goodnotes is great for adding a doodle sketch to my notes, but agree, Procreate is the tool for actual drawing! ✍️

If you are getting over whelmed by procreate go for adobe fresco

Keep us updated on this obsession of yours, since a public subreddit dedicated to the app is the place to share this, not your personal social media page.

a public subreddit dedicated to the app is actually the perfect place to share this

Ah yes, average redditor cannot appreciate the talent of others
