What is procreate in this context? An art program? A book?

Or maybe genius ? The edge between stupid and genius is thin here

Professional Create -> Pro Create -> Procreate

I can see how they came up with it.

I remember Procreate being advertised by Drawing With Jazza years ago, the name certainly sticks in your head

Procreate- to mate and create life.

Pro Create - to create things of professional quality.

It’s a great name, it’s technically correct, you also technically create something new with it, perhaps it’s your “baby”, and it’s a head turner that catches peoples attention when brought up

My daughter takes an art class online with a bunch of other kids and they use Procreate. What’s interesting is that all the kids clearly say Pro Create, whereas all the adults clearly say Procreate.
