I am trying to create animation but i want to know what is the best app to use on an iPad when drawing characters, vehicles,etc. I didn't like using adobe draw too much on my ipad. I am looking at Procreate and Affinity Designer. Not sure if vector drawing is ideal or not for Animate CC.

    Have you tried Adobe Photoshop Sketch?

    You can always just sketch up your ideas in adobe sketch then use them to create your drawings in Adobe Animate.

    Do you have a Tablet or Cintiq for your computer? If not? You can use your iPad with the App Astropad Studio | Turn your iPad into a professional graphics tablet

    This will allow you to use your iPad as a tablet with your computer and you would be able to draw right in Adobe Animate.

    Hey just wanted to say that the sidecar feature might work (only if you have mac). So basically what it does is it shares your Mac screen onto the iPad. Then use your stylus to animate whatever you want. Works well with me.
