Adobe Fresco: Painting Studio for Positive User Reviews

Great app but...This is amazing app I love it it’s got so much to offer but there is one tiny little thing you see when I’m trying to draw something it like ads another layer without consent and it really annoys me but it is a great app but yeah I wish it would change that little thing..Version: 1.6.1

Love the live brushesIf you are debating getting this app for any reason GET IT!!! Hands down the best drawing app I’ve tried. The live brushes are rediculously realistic. This is the only drawing app I’ve ever seen with such realistic brushes and blending. The free version is awesome soooo many options for brushes and works so well. There is a bit of a learning curve I wish there were clearer labeling on everything but it’s easy enough to learn. I did pay for the year subscription only because I wanted to see what else there was and I enjoy some of the smudge brushes you can add. One thing I really wish was added was a dry sponge or paper towel tool on the watercolors. I am not sure why but I kind of expected it to have something to dab and thin the watercolor by drying them but there isn’t but even without something like that the live brushes are by far my favorite feature of this..Version: 5.4.0

A Work in ProgressAfter hearing much talk about Fresco, I wanted to try it as an alternative to Procreate and was pleasantly surprised. The most attractive feature to me is the pencil brush and how real it feels by default. I have not been able to find something as natural with the perfect amount of noise yet for PC even though I’ve been using it for years. Yes, the default pencil is beautiful so I have been using this for ideation. I am only giving Fresco 3 stars, however, because in 2 days of using this app it has already crashed 10 times. That makes it really difficult to keep a steady workflow. The files aren’t particularly big, which makes me raise my eyebrows. Also, the lack of being able to distort or warp images in perspective, which is essential in both Photoshop and Procreate, makes it difficult for me to use this professionally. I am subscribed to CC so this comes with the bundle, but unless these very basic essentials are fixed, it will be hard to compete with Procreate 5 in my opinion..Version: 1.2.1

Budding ArtistSo I’ve used this app for a long time now, I even used the one they had before it became this one and I’m the kinda person where I’m sometimes a bit too dumb to learn really complex tutorials but this app doesn’t drop any of that on you, it’s there if you need it but aside that, you can just get in and create. I’ve made really small pieces to huge 30 hour projects and this app has everything I need as a beginner. I sing this app the highest praises. Not to mention, if you accidentally close the app or it crashes, your work is 100% safe and is exactly how you left it. I cannot recommend this app more. Huge respect and thanks to adobe for such a user friendly app..Version: 4.4.2

Needs to be more compatible with illustratorLove the app but it needs to be more compatible with illustrator. I need clean line work to be translated over..Version: 1.9.0

Love it!I know everyone loves procreate for illustration but I find that fresco is better for many things. Seamless with cc, the live paint brushes are great and I love that I can have vector options. The only thing that is a downside is that procreate has more customisation for brushes. Is you want to do lettering, get procreate instead. 1 do a lot of patterns and fresco is amazing for it..Version: 4.8.0

Amazing:)I'm a very big fan of Fresco. My dad introduced me to this app and it was AMAZING and still is! I have never tried procreate and to be honest I do not really know what the fuss is (sorry anyone who likes procreate:()So if you want to download a very good drawing/art app this is the one Thank you for reading this hope you have an amazing day and remember you are amazing.Version: 2.1.0

It’ll keep getting betterI love that the market forces Adobe to first come out with a competing product, and secondly, race to be better than the competition just by sheer force. I said this about XD when it came out. It stood no chance against Sketch and now I think it’s getting so much closer to being a peer (in some ways, it’s far surpassed Sketch). Fresco is used by different types of artists, but I like whiteboarding on it with my product team using the vector tools. We can get requirements written up and then draw through flows or UI speedily. Copy and paste an element - form field, for example - and you saved even more time than if you were on an actual whiteboard. It’s been missing features like shape detection, but I’m excited to try the latest set of features which does include creating shapes in a method similar to Illustrator’s..Version: 1.6.0

It’s goodI was annoyed at first coz I liked the other Adobe apps and they forced me to move to this by deleting the older versions. My files wouldn’t download at first so I was frustrated. Sorted it eventually. However, after using this app for a new project I have found it is far better than anything else I’ve used on my ipad. It does everything I need (I think). I’m looking forward to learning more editing techniques and developing my skills. Great app that seems to get lots of updates of brushes and tools etc. Nice one.Version: 3.6.0

Great for budding artists!As an avid user of Adobe Photoshop CC among the other programs, I have always been curious to see what Adobe Fresco had to offer in terms of tools, brushes, filters, and layers. After downloading the app on my iPad, I am pleased to share that I have been nothing but impressed with the what I’ve seen! From the jump, the program offers a variety of brushes including numerous vector, pixel, and live brushes. These live brushes are a joy in particular as they accurately mimic the characteristics of physical water colors, oils, pastels, and the like. This gives the user the ability to ‘mix medias’ in a sense to create truly original pieces. Filters such as color dodge, darken, luminescence, etc., are offered as well, and artiest’s are able to sort and organize layers by creating groups and moving/merging them around. What’s more, you’re greeted with quick tips and tutorials the moment the app is opened for the first. These are thorough and do a great job describing the multiple ‘key commands’ (but with your hands) available. I would definitely suggest this program for anyone looking to get into art! It definitely shares the drawing capabilities of photoshop without all the potentially overwhelming or confusing ‘photoshopping’ elements..Version: 3.7.0

Adobe Fresco ♡︎I love this app! The only thing that’s wrong I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure you need to pay for layers, and for an art app most people wouldn’t expect to pay for layers. Since layers are really common to use and most artists have to use them. Otherwise stunning app! No bugs to be seen! ♡︎.Version: 2.7.7

I love Adobe Sketch & a bit sad to upgrade to FrescoMany times I have an idea during the night & I can quickly draw those idea into Adobe Sketch without any problems or stress… whilst off line. If I have any ideas during the night & I have to use Fresco, I have to turn on internet to access software, select blank doc then Fresco tells me that I don’t have enough 1.6gb or 2gb of memory to open or use a blank doc. I have or had more creative out put using Adobe Sketch than Fresco. Plus is there anyway to access my work offline instead of using the Adobe Cloud. Adobe Cloud should be for final storage. I feel that I have been less creative on Adobe Fresco / Cloud. I just realised that the last time I used Adobe Fresco without any problems was February 2021 since then EVERYTHING is saved to the cloud . The fresco software is now reaching 1gb …… Adobe Sketch & Adobe Draw was very less in size..Version: 3.2.3

Now I know how the pros do it.Hi there! I just recently downloaded this app, (as in, yesterday) and I am a aspiring 10 year old artist. I want to specialize in the Japanese art, anime and this helps a bunch! All though I can draw on paper easily, I’m still trying to find what suits ME, so I went on a adventure throughout the App Store, and came out empty. One day I was watching TV and your commercial came up for photoshop, so I searched up Adobe, and got this. I download the app and it was surprisingly easy to navigate. I thought all the techniques would be hard to use, but I was wrong. It was actually really simple. Everything was easy to use. I kinda wish, and I know y’all have to make money somehow, but I wish it was all free. Like the Manga and Comic features so I can practice that (I also would like to be a author) but it wasn’t free and I’m using my school account so I can’t access it. Going into 5th grade art is gonna be my elective, so this will be really helpful. I wanna be a pro some day, so this is probably gonna be a keeper until I get more advanced. If I have anything else to say, or anymore comments or concerns, I’ll edit… If not then I will leave it. Until then, happy creating aspiring artist like me, or good luck out there ya pros!!! Bye bye!!.Version: 2.5.0

Great app for quick easy animated drawingsIf you are familiar with Adobe’s apps it’s a really simple and easy introduction to animated drawings. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is bc it’s not that intuitive, adobe’s apps tend to not be beginner friendly if you know nothing about it..Version: 5.2

Very good, but basic updates are taking too long...Where are perspective guides, basic shapes, skew/distort, gradient, etc? There’s simply no excuse for these not to be present. I see a recent tapering update - nice but hardly the most urgent thing to address. Also badly needs a simple fix to switch the brush mode to match the layer selection, when working in vector it’s easy to make raster layers by accident..Version: 1.4.0

Fantastic until todayIt’s crashed 5 times, can’t get a work flow going like this… tried restarting iPad. I’ve been loving this app, hopefully you can sort out this bug.Version: 3.2.3

Genuinely surprised I like it so muchI’ve been off the Adobe bandwagon for years, came back recently to explore new features. The Fresco app has come a long way and I find myself really enjoying it. It still has plenty of ground to cover, but I’m really excited to see it grow. I do not have a Fresco subscription, so I don’t have any premium features unlocked, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out. Great for sketching and I love how easy it is to work on the same project in all of the Adobe apps, both iPad and desktop. I have been playing with Fresco on desktop as well, but it is clearly built for tablet use and the experience on desktop suffers for it. I don’t begrudge that at all, I think it makes sense given the principle design direction of the app. Worth experimenting in, especially with the live watercolor brushes..Version: 3.7.5

Crashed when animatingOkay his app is amazing. It’s all I ever needed for a drawing app. I wish a could give this a 4.5 but, alas. Anyways. I have used this app for a year and finally decided to try the animation tools. I made an animatic that was super simple but when I got to 70 frames the app froze. I freaked out and literally took a screen recording of my animation so I wouldn’t lose it if the page wasn’t saved because it kept telling me there was an error in the saving of the page. It took me two days of research on how to get the app working again and in the end it worked after many tries. He only problem is that whenever I open the file it takes seven whole minutes to open which is VERY annoying because I have a strict time limit. I love this app and every hog else works fine it’s just that. This app is amazing and I recommend it to artists of every level..Version: 5.2

The UI has changed ever since the new updateThe little tool bar that features the colour, settings for the featured brush and opacity (etc.) pops out like a separate window - its been there before sitting at the bottom of the tool bar, but now it automatically sits outside separate when I change brushes. The Bitmap Brush, eraser and the Live Brush doesn’t allow the little section to pop back in place. Is there a way to keep it in there? (Also, the circle that shows the opacity and colour of the featured brush is on the separate section and at the bottom of the regular tool bar, so it takes up unnecessary room on the screen. Overall the app is a great step up from Adobe Illustrator Draw, especially with the selection tools and Live Brushes..Version: 1.8.0

I love this...I can finally go a full 5 stars as Adobe has exceeded my expectations. I have worked a lot with photos as art the last 15 years but this particular product has gotten my artful creative juices flowing again so I will be working on getting familiar with this as I have always hated mice as ‘uncontrollable.’ BUT the Apple Pencil and an iPad Pro make this now workable digitally. Why? Because combining great software with the new high-tec devices is putting ease-of-use at a whole new level. I have a couple of other apps I can easily ‘prep’ my photos or even do some pre-processing then zip it into Fresco or Photoshop. I abandoned Windows long ago as I had both a laptop and a Surface and am glad to be rid of same. I didn’t like a Mac, either, so the whole idea of being ‘tied to a desk’ or table was repugnant but few choices to transit to until recently. NOW we need Apple to give us artsy types who like hands-on a 14.7” iPad Pro (I have heard 14.1") and we can take this to a new level. I choose this over Procreate though Procreate has some advantages for simplicity. I wish Fresco was a bit easier to transfer other file types used..Version: 3.7.0

I like it?I’m cautiously optimistic. I won’t pay a sub, I’m done with that system. But, I am loving Fresco. Please make it a one time purchase, I would be happy to support it in that case. I’m no money tree..Version: 1.0.2

Keeps getting betterThe main drawcard is the stunning watercolour brush engine. Now that Adobe offers a freemium version, there’s no reason not to go with this elegant and powerful app..Version: 2.2.0

Amazing!Personally one of the best apps I have ever downloaded! Adobe fresco has tutorials and livestreams! There’s no adds you also don’t have to pay for good stuff! No monthly trial! You can watch livestreams or create your own. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t need Wi-Fi. Would recommend except if your new to digital art or have now idea I wouldn’t start with Adobe Fresco not saying it’s bad. It just can be complicated and a little overwhelming..Version: 4.7.1

Bots_R-amazingThis is to good 😣.Version: 3.4.0

Smooth brushesAdope fresco is a wonderful app. I bit hard to use at first but still okay. You can add a picture for reference and the brushes are mwah! just perfect to use for any type of drawing in your own style! I recommend this app 99.9%. There’s just a bit of a wait when saving drawings and minor errors like some progress doesn’t get saved but that on rare occasions. Just one small request to the creator to please to make it easier to use an apple pen because it’s a bit annoying that you need to make the lines short and at a minimum speed so you don’t have to remake EVERY line like it doesn’t add the lines. Other then that it’s a cool app that I use and plus it’s free magnificent! Try it now for free! #Amazing app #Not sponsored LOL.Version: 4.6.1

It's amazingIm new to adobe fresco, (nearly called it draw! I will call it that though, I'm really Sorry!) but so far, it's quite good for beginners as they are new to digital art, I would recommend this for any arts fartsy people.Version: 3.9.1

Advanced Brushes Not Available After PurchaseTried to buy the extending version with extra brushes but…..NADA. What’s up with this app?.Version: 3.6.0

Good 😊👍I really like this app. It’s very good for beginners (like me). But I did have a problem with it. Occasionally when I would go on(this is probably to do with my iPad) it would not let me on due to my iPad having no storage left. Again this is probably just an issue with the amount of apps I have. But other than that I would 100% recommend for anyone. 😊.Version: 3.7.0

The perfect adaptive illustrator’s tool.With it's ability to synch automatically on the creative cloud with photoshop, you now have an almost limitless ability to merge to the the light bending tools of digital photography with the magical analogue tools of traditional media. Leonardo da Vinci would think he was in heaven- oh, sorry, he is of course..Version: 2.1.0

Great but can improve!I’m using Adobe Fresco before Procreate as I want to try the free app first. So far I’ve found it very well done, I would just love to be able to adjust or center objects in my canvases. I thought the ruler would help but found it no purpose at all. I’m still confused on how to use the masking tool as it wasn’t really made clear to me, but other than that it’s really easy to use!.Version: 1.4.0

SnaplineThis new feature in Fresco is very limited (straight line only?) compared to the beautiful line smoothing feature that was a key part of Adobe Ideas. Please add that feature into Fresco. So simple, so effective..Version: 1.7.0

Great PotentialAs a designer that uses their iPad a lot for illustration, Fresco is quickly becoming my go-to for any freehand vector design. It’s controls are easy to learn and resemble Adobe’s desktop programs enough that knowledge can carry over. I must add that some shortcuts could be added to make quick edits easier and more time efficient. No doubt most of what’s in mind will come along in future updates. If anyone at Adobe is reading this, take some notes from Procreate’s extensive list of shortcuts. All up, very happy happy with the product..Version: 2.6.1

Love itEasy to use, I am still Exploring the app.Version: 1.7.1

Just wow!This app is so powerful and very useful for the pro artist and the hobbyist. User friendly and uncluttered UI. I’m a brush and ink artist so the only thing I wish was better is the brush responsiveness. It’s always updating and hopefully in the near future the brush engine will improve, but if you like to sketch, paint, vector design, or animate, this is the app for you. Well done Adobe Fresco team👏👏👏 —Update— I bit the bullet and purchased the one year access to all the brushes in Fresco and I can’t express how glad I am. Best 10 buck$ I ever spent! With the free version of Fresco, I found maybe 4 brushes (pencils and inkers) that were close to what I needed. After upgrade, I have access to all the brushes, and the comic book brushes and downloaded “Megapack” are pure gold. I’m super stoked and looking forward to all the future updated enhancements to this application. Most humble appreciation to your work and development team🙏.Version: 4.4.2

It is so much funI can just play on the screen and do whatever I want but it can get confusing with the names in the instructions and I don’t quite get it.Version: 5.0.1

Excited by this new appKnowing that photoshop for the iPad is on the way this is a great addition to the set of apps, I can’t wait to be able to start combining the features from each of the apps. Really impressed with the brush engine and how the colours mix and react to with the Apple Pencil. Well done Adobe, it’s only going to get better from here!.Version: 1.0.2

Review from an architect’s perspective.I have never taken the time to write a review for an app before. I have used almost every sketch, design, digital art focused apps and have easily made the decision that Fresco is the best. As a designer that travels frequently but is required to continue to collaborate and provide design direction for 7-10 projects at a time, Fresco is the most powerful tool I utilize. The combination of Fresco and Apple’s IPad + Pen allows me to sketch with precision while controlling the artistic expressions as I see fit. I am able to integrate information, images and floor plans from my teams Revit models, computer renderings, photos of physical models, or even photos of the site into my design process through Fresco. This is my primary, most powerful design tool as an architect… by far..Version: 4.0.1

For whoever is reading thisIt’s a very nice game but it’s sometimes very boring,annoying,crazy and and very frustrating But other than that it’s great💗💗❤️❤️🥰🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻.Version: 5.3.0

An Incredible Art AppThis app is amazingly versatile. You can make still images, motion graphics and full animations. It also has vector and pixel layers in the same art board! This allows you to make art with smooth or textured styles simultaneously. The tools within are fantastic and you can download or make custom brushes if you feel the need. Of course, you will need good ideas and the will to create them in order to take advantage of everything Fresco offers! - cbfriesen.com.Version: 4.2.1

Best app for vector hand-drawing on iPadHands down if you are looking for an app that can do vector hand-drawing, this is the one. I love the vector brushes. And the best thing is you can export directly to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop for further works..Version: 5.0.0

This seems to be the only way I can contact Adobe with a problem!My issue is with the drawing/circle aide. It has, for some reason, gone askew and I cannot reset it. I have updated both the app and the iPad, even deleted the app and reloaded it. I checked the Adobe community: other members have experienced this, no one has a fix short of a magical reset when the app is updated, there are MANY requests for Adobe to fix this problem! When I tried to report the problem, I have received nothing but a runaround. The app tells me I am not logged in so therefore cannot report a problem but all other avenues tell me I AM logged in. The main website rotates me between the main Adobe Help Centre, the Support link, and the “Contact Us: Real Help from Real People” link (are you kidding me right now?!) I have lost WEEKS of work because I can no longer use an essential tool and Adobe does not have a simple contact solution for issues. This is my LAST attempt at getting help. I am at the point of having to start again with a brand new app or go old school with paper and pencil but I don’t even know if they can contact me through reviews, there may not be enough of my info here..Version: 4.3.0

Great appI don’t know what to type ( bruh I’m literally learning how to write reviews in school ) but it’s good app for drawing , tracing , etc ( All art stuff ).Version: 4.8.0

How good it isIt is sooo perfect I can draw anything. It has all the tools I want and u can do so much things Down load this now!.Version: 3.4.0

Adobe knows what we like.I’m glad Adobe finally fixed the undo/redo issue, now I find myself getting excited to draw on this app again and that’s essential going from start finish on any project. I’m sure using an application others are equally excited over and are also using exposes each individual to that mana artists thrive on for inspiration. It’s nice to be apart of something while drawing, it’s possible that I may get more work done here on this app art-wise than anywhere else, and that’s been the case with me on Adobe products for a long time now. I’m very excited about Fresco once more and moving forward, I may actually start doing more art regularly again. Thanks Adobe, please continue to tighten the app..Version: 1.3.1

Accessible creativityThe demands of work during COVID haven’t left much room for creativity. As an abstract painter in the traditional sense setup and cleanup can be additional obstacles. Adobe Fresco has made creativity for me so much more accessible. That I’m learning a new skill and able to share it digitally in an instant makes it even more appealing. I also love that what I produce in the app can so closely resemble my painted work. Not loving that the use of the best brushes require a $10 a month subscription. It doesn’t seem worth more than $30/year for a brush selection. I’d also like to 1) categorize brushes according to my specific uses and 2) create a library of pre-created lines and shapes for easy reuse. Other than that app is great..Version: 2.7.6

Great app to use if you do not want to pay for drawing applicationI love using Adobe fresco. When I did not want to pay for any expensive drawing app. I know it has a premium but it does not make you feel like you need to pay for it. It offers a million different drawing tools and you can add millions of layers. Overall Adobe fresco is good for any stage artists. Hopefully this review was helpful. :).Version: 2.7.7

WOW! why aren’t all drawing apps this good?I don’t know where to start! This app is so amazing! First it has so many different brushes that you can use for free which is really cool. I’ve used a lot of drawing apps in like 30% of them were not free so I deleted them 50% weren’t even that easy to use and they also have limited ways of drawing and brushes and about 20% of them were just absolutely horrible. When I downloaded Adobe fresco I was not expecting this much it has tutorials on masking which I think is amazing there is tutorials on sections and a tutorial on brushes which was really helpful since there’s so many and I was trying to get the hang on all of them. I also love that you can basically use the lasso select to draw inside or outside of something which is really helpful and I also really love the water colors and how they can stay wet it looks really pretty so yeah as basic as this app gets it’s really cool and I love all the features and the free version is perfect and yeah plus the not free version seems good for professionals and it’s only $10 so maybe I will get that anyways I love this app I recommended it to my friends..Version: 2.2.0

Fresco keeps lagging, freezing then crashingCan someone help please? I LOVE this program and have been using it since it replaced Adobe Draw. But over the past 2 weeks it’s begun lagging, freezing then crashing. I lose work which is maddening. I have the latest Apple iPad Pro and pencil with lots of available space. Please help, I’m in the middle of a time sensitive project and need Fresco to work as brilliantly as before..Version: 3.7.0

Really good but has issuesI’m no Stranger, to animating and drawling I’m not new to any of that. In fact, I’ve tried my fair share of stuff in the past and from my experience this is really good for anyone who is starting out because it’s beginner friendly it doesn’t have too much complicated stuff. It’s easy to get used to and has its fair share of cool features, different brush types and anyone new or just looking for a good program so just start doodling I would recommend this app to anyone in that category but like the title says it has its fair share of issues sometimes off I’ll be drawling end it just won’t pick up my movement. It won’t draw anything just straight up water erase anything, these are super big issues and I haven’t kind of often every once in a while when I use it, I would mainly use this app for just drawling and not anything too big I don’t know if everyone else has the same experience but if you did, I would keep the drawings that you use for this app, simple and sweet that’s what I do and it works the best for me so if anyone is listening to this anyone at all and he want to take my advice you could do that I don’t care overall good app would recommend to beginners and people just looking to have a little fun with a drawing app would recommend it..Version: 5.0.0

More support for insitu/contextual actionsThe UI feels like it’s based off of a desktop experience, rather than being fully conceptualised as mobile first. Take UI behaviour cues from Procreate, far less friction IMHO..Version: 3.6.2

Love that wet paintI work with my ipad sitting up at a steep angle on its cover. It’s like my “canvas-” is sitting up on an easel. Yet no matter how much digital water i add to my brush, the colour does not all run downhill. It just spreads evenly outwards in all directions as though my canvas was lying down flat. 🤣😁😂 But seriously I do love this app. Love playing with those vector brushes too. At first i was a little grumpy at there being no pen tool until I realised that this is really a very cool re-imagining of the way we use vectors. Perhaps it is the beginning of the end of the pen tool. Watch a few youtubes of how the pros use Fresco vector drawing brushes and you quickly cotton on. Good job Adobe! Never been more pleased to be a subsciber than when i realised what a little jewel was this app I could get for free thru my subscription..Version: 2.5.0

Loving it!Simple to use yet offers great functionality. I’m using it for my vector arts and it’s much easier to use than Illustrator. Well, at least for the stuff I want to use it with. They had introduced several new functionality of the app since I started using it. I’m absolutely satisfied with it.Version: 1.6.1

Like procreate but freeEven tho it has alot of GB, I would highly recommend this app. The. 641 gb was worth it..Version: 5.2

Real drawingFed up with Procreate then remembered I’d got Adobe Fresco on my iPad. Love the brushes, especially the live watercolour and lots of improvements made since I last dabbled. No need for masking, paint inside is now available. Sped up my creativity but feels more like pen and paper drawing rather than the homogenised Procreate….Version: 4.7.0

My issue got resolved by itselfLoving the app so far, Im curious to know if this is what it was promised to be photoshop for ipad and the name was changed. Other than that pretty cool that I have all my cloud documents from adobe sketch and my creative cloud. I pay for the creative suite so having this app with no additional cost is great. Im used to the simplicity of procreate but I understand with all of the features the compromise that has to be made, maybe the layers panel can be a pop up from the top bar, that way the right bar can be removed. It would also be nice to have more photoshop tools, that why I asked if this is a new name of what photoshop was going to be :) The issue that I had with the 3.0GB storage got resolved the next day so I deleted my one star review. If theres still action I should take let me know..Version: 1.0.2

Good value harsh priceI love using fresco and many of its tools are useful and are great for learning however the price is a little ridiculous since not many have the money to pay for a monthly subscription, and wish it could be more accessible to people who want to use it but don’t have the money to do so. Thank you.Version: 3.3.0

LOVING this appI’m new to illustration and this app has made it such a fun learning experience. Love it!.Version: 5.3.0

:(The app glitched and now all my progress is gone, the app is good though.Version: 4.8.0

Great appThis app has great features but one little thing I would like adobe to add is a blur to blur colours and a more variety of brushes. overall this is a great app to draw and would recommend to anyone who wants to do digital art and have a lovely time drawing..Version: 1.9.0

I love this app It’s helped so much with my art though I have a suggestionIf you added flip canvas to it. It would make it even better. And if you also added blur it would also make it better. But other than those I have nothing but praise for this app.Version: 1.3.1

So much better than previous adobe appsThis may not be as good as other professional apps, but as a free app, this is really good. The only thing I can suggest is a ruler and grid like in adobe sketch. All in all, great app.Version: 1.0.3

No symmetry feature?Seems like a pretty standard feature that should be included in an adobe drawing app 😕.Version: 5.4.0

Import brush issueThis is generally an amazing app. I have been using it for ages. However, recently I have had issues with using imported brushes. 1. The imported brushes disappear as soon as I close the app and restart it. 2. The imported brushes are causing the app to freeze. Once I put a stroke down with an imported brush the app gets frozen. An unfortunate new bug to an otherwise amazing app..Version: 5.0.0

Best professional painting softwareThe ability of fresco to paint like in real painting on canvas or water colour is amazing, the chemistry and mediums, oils is out and you left with creativity without boundaries. Let your imagination go, put on what you want, not what possible. As it is in early stage adobe got a mile to go, you can export file in any format except to fresco format. I found that sailing digital pdf do not bring, original price. Backup is difficult as if you run out of space it will exist on a cloud but not on any media you can save to. Printing to canvas at the moment the best results is on cannon via pdf, do not use photoshop as you may loose brush details. The max printing resolution is low, resulting in smaller prints 80x80 was my max to get excellent quality, if you looking on larger size wall size, the quality is not sufficient. One file in above A2 can run a size more then 1gb. The brush strokes takes memory, to get real print as on your iPad you need the largest file possible, then print short Streep and Chang the size of the print, until you get the best result. Good luck. This programme is for real professional artist, for hobby it is a long curve. What ever you do keep your brushes and paints..Version: 4.1.0

A fantastic professional illustration ProgrammeI’ve been using Fresco for daily illustration work for over a year now, and it has become my go to tool for digital illustration. I can’t recommend this programme highly enough. It’s fast, user friendly, with fantastic brushes available. Plus, new features are being developed all the time. 5 stars, a great programme for professionals and passionate drawers alike!.Version: 2.5.0

👍👍👍👍👍👍Like it.Version: 5.3.0

Good app but,Quite a good mobile drawing app, especially with the live brushes. However I would like for there to be a shapes/ruler option on the mobile version of the app like there is on the tablet/other versions..Version: 5.2

My preference over ProCreate, surprisinglyI am really surprised by this, but the more I use this, the more I realize it gives me a better and more accurate ‘feel’ while sketching and painting than ProCreate does. I think the brushes have a bit less lag on my IPad (2020 non-pro version) than I get with ProCreate using the comparable ones. Also the live brushes are just astounding; they are fun to use even if you don’t know a thing about watercolor, oils, or even making art in general. Anyhow, in this app I can sketch with what feels to me to be a more lifelike level of control than I get with ProCreate and that seems to make all the difference to me using this vs a physical sketchbook. The only downside I really can speak of is the lack of a floating reference window like ProCreate has, but I’ve been using VizRef in a side window instead. There is no reason you shouldn’t check this app out. Even if you are super comfortable with ProCreate, this is like trying out a new set of pens and paper to see what works best for you in the long run, and it works great for me..Version: 2.7.1

It’s amazing 🤩I love this app so much it just lets my imagination go wield 🐎!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t think 🤔 of a single problem this app and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in art. I ❤️ THIS APP SOOOOOOOOO MUCH.😁😄😃😋😛🙃🙂..Version: 2.1.0

This app is amazing I love it but…It takes a little to open your pages sometimes and I am still learning for some it might seem complicated or not but I am finding it difficult to figure some things out.Version: 4.4.2

Love itOh my gosh, I love this app so much and I feel so creative no ads and you don’t have to pay. This is one of the best apps I’ve ever gotten..Version: 5.0.3

AmazingFresco works like a dream!.Version: 3.7.0

Perfect free drawing appI’ve been using this app for about a month or so now to create a detailed map for my new dungeons and dragons world. I started using Adobe Sketch and it was so limited, but the Fresco app popped up through the Sketch and I transferred my map right over. The Fresco is so amazing because it has every tools I’m looking for. I am able to draw anything that I am capable to do myself. The lasso is super handy, as well as using the filling option, and being able to copy and paste sections and layers. The app is rather easy to use and figure out, and the interactive walkthrough answers any questions. Lately, I’ve been noticing my files taking longer to load in and even load marks or movements while working on it. I still have 94% data left on the cloud so I know it shouldn’t be a space issue. I have a lot of small details on the map, but that should cause it to run slow..Version: 2.7.3

Lost filesI’ve lost all my drawings from adobe sketch since the app was discontinued. When downloading the fresco app it said all my sketch files would automatically transfer yet none have and the app tells me there is no files. Can you help me with this please?.Version: 3.7.0

Very goodThis is a very good drawing app. Love it! It’s a bit trickier to get the hang of than Adobe Sketch, which I usually use, but this has much more variety in terms of brushes and can zoom in far more than adobe sketch when you’re working on intricate details. And also can I just mention the watercolours? I love the watercolours. I can finally make good gradients with the watercolours! Thank you! Maybe you could add a dry button next to the colour-flow-waterflow options instead of needing to click on the layer to get the dry button to come up? And one other suggestion: The colour picking method is cool but it would be nice if you could include an option to use a colour wheel similar to Adobe Sketch’s colour picker, because I know I’m finding it hard to adjust to the new colour picker. All in all, an amazing app! P.s. Thank you for fixing the crashing bug where the app crashed when you try to open it. Big help ;).Version: 1.9.0

Amazing app.I know procreate is the most popular but I think I like this app better. It’s the only app I can make the smoothest line art with. Best so far for line art compared to Affinity and Procreate. It would be great to be able to have colour palettes. That would make this app perfect in every way. Live brushes are incredible..Version: 2.0.3

Overall good but some things spoil it allThe pens and watercolor and paint are great, and there are a lot of things to explore but I can’t get rid of the perspective grid and it annoys me so much because it can’t be deleted. It was one of my fav drawings, after all!.Version: 5.2

I like it! Have some suggestionsPretty easy to navigate and offers a nice amount of digital drawing tools. This is a good app for beginners in that regard. I like that you can insert photos and that there are lots of different types of brushes and ways to adjust them individually. If you don’t have an Apple Pencil, Fresco has pressure dynamics built in! I could honestly draw on here with my finger and still have amazing results. Wish audio could be added because you can animate on here. Also wish you could convert pixels to vector because I’ve accidentally done the opposite without realizing it and had to move it over to photoshop. I’m still learning about all the different tools, but it would be nice to have a way to select line art so you can color on another layer and have it stay within the lines. Might be nice to have a way to enlarge or shrink lines without changing their thickness. I’d also like if margins could be added to make drawing comics on here easier to format. Fresco is my main drawing application, so yes I’d say I’m happy with my experience thus far despite these other things that could improve it in my opinion..Version: 4.4.2

Fantastic but missing some of my favourite adobe featuresThis app is amazing. I’ve really started to get into illustrating more since I got this app. However, the lack of anchor points is really annoying because rather than editing an existing line I have to draw a new one. Also, you can’t add n image layer like you can in photoshop sketch, and as someone who uses it to illustrate over images, I have to upload my image onto sketch and then open the file in fresco..Version: 1.7.1

Adobe frescoAdobe fresco is an awesome app and I love it so so much it is one of the most amazing apps .it is just amazing and awesome I can do all the art things I love it’s just amazing!!!.Version: 3.8.0

Love thisIt has so many tools and is amazing, I have used other drawing apps but this is by far the best, it has vector and raster and you can use both in the same drawing on different layers. The layers are also amazing and easy to use, it also sinks with creative cloud so everything is saved as you go onto a easily accessible cloud. This is an amazing tool for Digital art and drawing..Version: 4.8.0

It’s on its way to being one of my most used tablet based design appsThe last few years I’ve been using Autodesk Sketchbook for iPad Pro and then saving out for its desktop based app and then to photoshop to do any prepress work. Just recently I finished a very large project I realized I needed the photoshop design transition to be less problematic and more seamless. Although I think there’s more needed in fresco to make me step away from the other apps (which limit file size and ppi quality) the use of vector drawing tools AND raster drawing tools in this app is immensely helpful and they’re very easy to use. The photoshop-like curve adjustment for brushes is very handy. I can pull my work files into my MacBook Pro for photoshop from the cloud and do whatever I need before I send it to the printers and whatnot. If this app fearured a symmetry tool it would make me seriously consider switching over completely from the other apps. Adobe is the industry standard and since I already use illustrator and photoshop this will be a welcome addition to my work tools..Version: 4.4.1

Loads of fun ...I haven’t stopped playing with the watercolour brushes ... dabbing on paint and watching it all run together is a source of endless amusement. I’m starting to get more painterly results by using the lasso tool to help create more definition. But I haven’t really scratched the surface. I tried Procreate again and really missed the watercolour tools, so I keep coming back..Version: 1.3.1

Great art appI really enjoy using Adobe Fresco. I used to used Adobe Draw just for quick vector sketches but then I slowly used them for final illustrations. This app has replaced it brilliantly where not only has it got a number of page presets but also it caters for manga illustration with vector brushes preset and the raster tools are awesome too with new packs to download fairly regular and when i struggle to find a texture brush i can go thru the plethora of downloads. It is my go to art app for illustrations, WEBTOON and quick sketches.Version: 5.0.3

Really good to useThe tools are great and good.Version: 4.3.0

Would be 5 stars but one glaring bugI love adobe fresco however since the last update my “Ink” shatters across the page ruining my art as it takes 20-100 backspaces to clear it. My screen is free of and I’ve had my iPad and Apple Pencil checked for errors. This only happens in fresco. Unfortunately as it happens with every second stroke, I can no longer use this for my professional work as it takes too long to constantly correct.Version: 4.8.0

Live paint brushes!!Are you kidding?? I have been using this app for three years over any other illustration app for tablets. The fact that you can have both vector layers and raster layers in one document is incredible and the reason I will not go to Procreate over Fresco. The life brushes in watercolour and oil paint options are such a pleasure to work with the way that they blend and interact with each other is like nothing else..Version: 5.0.3

A great toolAdobe fresco is a wonderful tool with many useful brushes and many other features that a great when drawing. I like to sketch my ideas then import them on to fresco to add color and shading. It might cost money which I can see as problematic for some but if you can afford it it’s most definitely worth it. Thank you Adobe you’ve let me improve and express my art.Version: 4.2.1

I loveee this app! Everyone who likes drawing should download it😄😁😁😁✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.Version: 4.8.0

Best mixer brushes on iPadI hadn’t even heard of Fresco even those it has been out since 2019. I’m not sure what the price is.. I’ve heard\read that it changed from £10 a month to £10 a year.. I hope this is so. Although I understand Adobes subscription models I didn’t particularly like paying £10 a month for photoshop when affinity photo or Procreate are good alternatives - but for a standalone iPad art app I am thinking this is going to be my go to, main app. Mostly, for me, because of its ‘live’ (mixing) brushes. The way oils and watercolour brushes work are as good as Corel painter. I hope they add more although the restriction of the 5 or so of oil and watercolour brushes they have is kind of good for me.. you can get lost trying hundreds of not so brilliant brushes otherwise! Anyhow, I’m impressed (just hope the subscription price is good when the free trial end🙏).Version: 4.2.0

Impressive start to FrescoThis is a fantastic app with a great start from adobe. The live brushes give that fantastic feeling of painting with creative freedom and play that no other app currently does. The UI is exceptional and defiantly geared towards working professional illustrators with all the tools being extremely intuitive to use. Can’t wait for the up and coming features to be added to this app and see it go from strength to strength!.Version: 1.0.2

IntuitiveVery easy to figure out how to use the different features. Makes drawing an absolute pleasure. I’ve been struggling to get back into creating art for many years and using this app has really opened the creative world back up for me. Working with layers is a dream..Version: 3.7.0

Dear FrescoAdobe Fresco, I write this to share my thoughts of your creation and my connection to your creation. I have been using this program for almost two years without watching tutorials, and the discovering adventures are breathe taking, exciting and super dope. Thank you for what you have done to allow my creative expression to bloom n grow into other a-roaches of art form. BKE.Version: 4.3.0

It is good or badSo I have not tried this app, but I have seen lots of people go on this app and make good tik toks and I want to try to make those so I’m just gonna see if it’s good or bad I don’t know because I haven’t even finished installing the app.Version: 4.7.1

Great start, especially for vector artI really love the vector brushes Fresco offers - but the inability to draw straight lines leaves me frustrated and heading back to Procreate for the vast majority of my workflow. If I could draw in vector in Procreate you’d never find me searching for other platforms, but I thought I’d give it a try as I’m already tied into their cloud subscription service and would like to get as much out of it as I can. After using Fresco for a couple of days I was left feeling that it could be so much more. It hasn’t been released too early per se, what it does do it does very well - but it’s by no means a full package yet. Annoyingly there is no ‘turn a drawn line into a straight line’ feature, which is unbelievably useful, nor a shapes tool, which I didn’t realise I’d hanker after until it wasn’t an option. The ruler provided is next to useless (or I found it to be). I do like it, and would recommend it, but it still needs more work to be on a par with more established design apps..Version: 1.2.1

Good yI’ve been looking for a good painting app finally found it to go with my iPad 2021 instead of paying £8.99 for another app five star review not sure they have premium but if they had premium don’t buy it because you can only get what you can get here on this app because I just created like the perfect painting my room my drawings are terrible download it download it now it’s a really good app I’m really happy with it I’m never going to delete it.Version: 3.5.0

Fantastic FrescoThis is a great app and it’s a shame that the first few reviews were by people who seemed to want to shoot it down. The touch toggle can be moved if it’s in the way, and the photography plan doesn’t include drawing, so their “reviews” aren’t much to go on, imho. Fresco promises to be an incredible drawing experience with pixels and vectors; the live watercolour brushes are fantastic and the oils are really good (not my medium tho). Add to that the integration of Creative Cloud and this is a real tool to be reckoned with. There’s still a way to go—this is an emerging way of working—but a fantastic start..Version: 1.0.2

Awesome appGreat verity of options on what pen or pencil you want to use and love the wet paint option. I also like how easy it is to use like it takes a few seconds to switch to a different brush, pen or pencil and even easier with favourites.Version: 3.6.1

It’s Great! But Still No Magic😞Good Afternoon, To All adobe fans. Yes fresco is another great adobe app with killer features and versatility, but once again they created another app where the the selection tool is still to in simplest words, basic. Not sure if there are many who can relate, but those of us who spend quite the time with line art and block out areas freehand and just want that simple, quick, right to the point deletion from an area would probably agree that Quick selection tool and the Magic Wand need to make an appearance. Now I know Fresco is new and there have been some who’ve yet had the chance to check it out, but I think quick ways to delete white space should be available on these awesome programs, meaning I should be able tap the area I want to be deleted and delete that area. Similar to the selection tool in Autodesk Sketchbook which is similar to Photoshop in so many ways it’s not even funny. Just my thoughts..Version: 1.0.2

FeaturesThe features are so good, for example, you can move it around when you messed it up and you can just make a colored line and the liquefy it. There is also like a million features!.Version: 5.0.1

Great as it keeps evolvingFresco seems to be a good drawing app. As a an amateur digital drawers, seems that fresco is slowly adding more functionality and features to compete with already set programs. However, what I truly appreciate is it seamless connection to Adobe Creative Cloud. Allowing me to continue my work in my computer. Whenever a need to do some photoshop adjusting is as easy as saving the drawing, and opening my laptop. The file updates in seconds. This compatibility is worth it all.Version: 3.0.1

Another amazing Adobe app, that will become the standard.I’m an amateur artist. Have been drawing/sketching since I was a kid. I got an iPad Pro a little a year ago, because I had become temporarily disabled, and needed something to keep me busy, for I would be confined to a bed for a long time. I of course got an Apple Pencil, and started doing the “paint by numbers” apps on here. Then of course, I downloaded the the Adobe Sketch app. It was okay. I literally have no idea what was/am doing, so I was very limited. Then Fresco was released. At first it still felt like the Sketch app, just a bit more customizable. Then when you guys finally released the big update after the 6 month trial, it opened a whole new world for me. Everything became more streamlined, and super easy to understand. Adding Brushes from PS super easy, but still limited. But over time, with more updates, it has become something special and unique. I bought and tried Procreate, several times, but I always end up going back to Fresco. Watching, and experiencing this app evolve, while I’m learning and evolving with it, has been amazing, and with so much time in the future to refine it, and better integrate PS with it, it will become the new standard. I’m so excited to see it happen, knowing I started from the very beginning. Thank you to the whole team over there! SeanieDee.Version: 1.9.0

Login mid-flightNice app but the other day it decided it was time to ask me to login again... while I was mid-flight on a plane. No way to avoid it, the app turned to be completely useless and I couldn't carry on working. Luckily I had Procreate, so I didn't have to waste two hours staring at a login screen..Version: 4.7.1

It’s OkayI like it. But I don’t think it’ll be replacing the other big drawing app for me any time soon. The touch-shortcut feature is interesting but doesn’t solve any kind of problem that couldn’t have been achieved with some additional tool selection options. I like that they included touch canvas rotation, but it’s maybe a little janky in this early version. At times it feels super responsive, other times not responsive enough. Hopefully this will be improved. Two and three finger taps are great to have for undo/redo, but it’s very sensitive and gets confused sometimes with palm rejection, meaning that quite a few times when I undid something and continued drawing, it would accidentally redo, and I’d have to undo again, sometimes a few times in a row. More positively, it’s very responsive and fluid with the Apple Pencil, and making strokes feels good. Plenty of brushes to play and experiment with and loads of options and settings to help achieve a good workflow..Version: 1.0.2

Love! Please make a diary/journal/sketchbook like this!Absolutely love, so fluid and easier than procreate. I would love a daily diary and sketchbook that is as easy to use as this. Lots of page templates and functions like lots of sketch pads on a bookshelf.Version: 2.0.3

Poor quality appThey repeatedly break things after each update. For example there was an option for touch to be “gestures only” to avoid constantly drawing on the screen with your palm or while zooming/rotating with fingers. This option no longer has an effect after today’s update. You really really need to get a grip on your product quality..Version: 2.1.0

AwesomeDownload it.. I seriously suggest it.Version: 1.6.1

Good but it crashes lotsHas heaps of great features but it crashes a lot i find compared to ai app, ps app and procreate. Also it only seems to open in ps on my computer and not illustrator even though it has vector brushes.Version: 1.9.0

This is one of the best drawing apps you can get.With the exception of having to pay for some things and needing an account, I think this may be one of the best apps for drawing, like, ever. Pretty amazing with the Apple Pencil. One thing that would be nice, would be the ability to use any brush as an eraser. I like that you get an extra 5GB just free with the account..Version: 5.3.0

Cool app!This app is HEAVENLY. you can do so many things on this app like picking up where you left off on a different device which is extremely helpful and there's so many brushes you can use, the software is amazing and all for FREE!! credits to all the devs who made Adobe Fresco!!.Version: 4.7.1
