Version 1.5? “What happened to the other 4 versions?” we hear you ask. Well, this update is so big it's jumped four versions ahead. Let’s start off with the big news:



• Apple Watch app!

The traditional wooden artist’s palette has served painters and illustrators for centuries. This simple tool allowed artists to arrange paint and tools in the artist's hand as they crafted illustrations and fine art.



Procreate Pocket, together with the Apple Watch, reinvents this concept into something new – the digital palette. Reintroducing this centuries-old concept, made fresh by technology, allows us to operate in two distinct modes.



- Swatches

Inspired by the traditional palette, the Swatches mode displays a number of paint ‘wells’ ready for the artist to use. The perfect placement of Apple Watch allows artists to bring digital paint to the canvas by simply touching a colour.



- Off-screen tools

The Tools mode moves the six essential painting tools from iPhone to Apple Watch. As digital artists crave less interface and more canvas space, Procreate Pocket will animate into a minimalist interface when this mode is active.



- Glance

Track how long your masterpieces take to create. This is an ideal feature for time-billing professionals. Simply glance over at your Apple Watch and BOOM! Insta-billable-hours!



- Quick canvas and Clear layer

Force tapping in any mode will give you the option to quickly create a new doc, right from inside your current work in progress or, clear your current layer. Perfect for quick sketching!



• Swatches

Create up to 27 unique swatch colours and group them into three easy to use palettes.



• Improved brush size and opacity sliders

We may have gotten a little carried away with the sensitivity of your brush size and opacity sliders. Actually they kind of sucked. So, we made them not suck. With Procreate 1.5 you won’t accidentally keep invoking your brush and opacity sliders. Hurrah for not sucking!



• Rapid mode-swapping

We’ve injected serious amounts of speed into process of adding filters, transforming and selecting things. Let’s say you’ve selected part of object and you really need to transform it. Gone is the need to dive through a bunch of menus – now you can just tap the Mode icon at the top to instantly access the advanced menu, ready to jump to any mode you need!



If you like these free updates, we’d really appreciate if you could let others know, by giving us a quick review on the App Store. Your review will make all the difference!
