Illustrator for iPad

Question

I'm an avid procreate user and have created 5 pieces for a sports company. They need them in AI so I've gone to redraw them in isllustrator but the app is just impossibly hard to use.

every piece I attempt to redraw the brush sizes seem to differ to the last, I can't seem to view the size of the document and the eraser tool randomly starts predicting my lines rather than just immediately erasing what I need gone.

can any one advise? I need this work done by tomorrow!

In order to draw clean artwork in Illustrator, I would suggest to use the pen tool to trace the outlines.

I'll second Monica's recommendation of using the Pen tool. I've sketched out designs within Procreate on my iPad Pro to turn into clean, vector-based final designs. I export the Procreate artwork (usually as a Photoshop PSD or TIFF image) to place into Illustrator. I lock the artwork down on one layer and than manually build clean vector art over the top of it on another layer. Illustrator's Pen tool works pretty well. The point modifier short cuts on the iPad version are good, but it takes a little getting used to them. I'm still faster at manually vectorizing artwork in the desktop version of Illustrator. The Pen took keyboard shortcuts are easier to use. I also use Astute Graphics' plugins; their Inkscribe tool is a Pen tool on steroids.
