Ratings and Reviews
Really well done!
Great line stabilisation.
Exceptional text and bubble tools (though there’s still room for improvement in terms of style options)
Very well thought out, easy to use perspective tools.
This is the surprising part though - incredible pencil tools and drawing feel. I’m a huge fan of another big iPad only art app, but it’s a shame more people aren’t trying Comicdraw, as its core drawing tools are surprisingly great. It works well as a digital sketchbook even if you don’t use it for comic creation. I choose to ink in CD over everything else.
About the only major missing features I’d love are the ability to save out PSDs with the text layers staying editable. (I suspect this is difficult or impossible to implement though?) It exports the bubbles and the text as a single pixel layer, which is fine, but editable text layers in PSDs would give it some great interoperability with other apps and would future-proof all of our files should we need to switch platforms or something at a later date.
The other feature has been mentioned in other reviews. Masking/clipping inside panels would make things a bit easier to work with, but it’s okay to work around.
Easily one of the best art apps on iPad, and criminally under appreciated. As a comic production app it’s streamlined and well thought out, I've not used anything that nails the balance between power and ease of use this well. Great job!
Great mix of layout and drawing app
I needed something that was a mix of InDesign and Photoshop for my comics. This does the job really well.
I love the way they do separate sketching, drawing and lettering sections. I didn’t think I’d sketch on my iPad but have ended up doing so because it’s so easy using comic draw.
I also use Procreate and its pretty easy to switch between the two. I can sketch in comic draw, export straight to Procreate and then save my file as an image and put it back into comic draw for all the lettering and layout of separate pages.
The panelling is pretty cool too. I like the way you can slice up panels.
One feature I’d love to see in a future release:
- Export without the trim (right now I have to move art into photoshop to crop it which is a bit of a pain).
Other than that, love it.
Great program for comics
This is a graphics program that’s streamlined for comic creation, with just the tools I need for layout and developing line art in sequential drafts. For a more painterly I’d finish this art up in something like procreate, but for laying out multiple pages and doing all but the final art this is an intuitive, well thought out, streamlined program.
