Procreate

Procreate has been my go-to app for illustrating, especially while I’m building my Soft Pages mail club. I’m still learning, but it’s been such a fun way to expand my creativity and add another layer to my journaling-adjacent hobbies.

Pros

+Powerful illustration tool for creating custom artwork
+Works beautifully with iPad + Apple Pencil
+Great for experimenting with creative styles and assets

Cons

-Has a learning curve if you’re brand new
-Requires an iPad and stylus to use comfortably
