It wasn’t until I started watching other lettering artists and illustrators on Adobe Live that I had the idea of using Adobe Fresco. I figured that Procreate was the best digital drawing app out there, and since I found myself comfortable with my workflow, there was no sense in changing. For this reason, I’ll admit that I was slow to adopt Adobe Fresco. It’s still unclear when the app might be released, though.As a professional lettering artist and designer, I’ve been using Procreate for over 3 years now on my iPad Pro. Last month, Adobe opened beta signups for Photoshop on the iPad. Of course, Adobe is also in the process of developing Photoshop for the iPad. You can signup to be a beta tester on Adobe’s website. “We’re developing Fresco for a broad spectrum of seasoned to novice artists and anyone with the right hardware will be able to draw and paint in Fresco for free,” Adobe says.Īdobe Fresco will be released to the public later this year. Files save automatically to Creative Cloud, streamlining the process for artists and making it easy to track progress across devices.Īdobe says, however, that despite the power of Fresco, it features a “streamlined interface” that’s accessible to anyone who just wants to draw. Through Fresco, artists will be able to a access Photoshop brushes, as well as thousands of other brushes created by artist Kyle Webster. You can even recreate painting with water to dilute some colors and encourage tints to mix. Use red and yellow next to each other and they’ll naturally blend into orange at the border. When you paint with a watercolor Live Brush, you’ll see the color bloom into adjacent areas of the paper. The result is Live Brushes, which use the artificial intelligence of Adobe Sensei to recreate the behavior of oils and watercolors in an amazingly lifelike way. This technology, based Adobe’s Sensei AI platform, mimics real-life oil and watercolor techniques, aiming to recreate how such materials blend together. The headlining feature of the app is something Adobe calls Live Brushes. This afternoon, Adobe is offering more details on that application, and giving it a real name: Adobe Fresco.Īdobe Fresco will arrive on the iPad later this year. Last year, Adobe demonstrated a new iPad drawing and painting application that it referred to as Project Gemini.
