Question

When will Live Paint be available on iPad? (or is there an iPad work-around?)

I just bought an iPad pro which is amazing, but now I can't continue work on my old files because Adobe Illustrator on the iPad doesn't do Live Paint groups. Unfortunately I use Live Paint in nearly all of my designs, and I don't want to have to return this new device :'(

 

Does anyone know when Live Paint will be available on the iPad version?

 

And in the meantime, does anyone else know of any products that would allow me to do something similar to Live Paint on the ipad?

Are there any news on this one? I can't find any way to do it. So weird since it's possible since forever to Color fill with the pencil in procreate. I love illustrator on the iPad so far but this one is a bit disappointing

You can only use the shapebuilder tool

I feel your pain.

 

Unfortunately nobody will be able to tell you when it will appear. And those that could be able to, are not allowed.  Make sure you use the feedback function in the app to tell them you want that.

 

I'm not aware of a vector application that even has a function such as Live paint. Some have a function comparable to the shapebuilder tool, but not a live function such as live paint.
