Procreate Dreams will be available for a one-time purchase of $19.99, a departure from the subscription pricing models prevalent in the industry.
This tutorial explores how to use Photoshop and Procreate to create vibrant and dynamic scenes. The process involves planning, experimenting with lighting and composition, creating color keys, and refining the drawing. The tutorial also emphasizes the importance of perspective, blocking in major shapes, using color dynamics, painting with light and color, and taking breaks.

Apple has added new tilt and azimuth support to the Apple Pencil hover function with iPadOS 16.4, allowing artists to view a mark at any angle before it's made. The updated hover feature works in native Apple features like Markup, as well as in third-party apps like Procreate. The Apple Pencil team participated in "Inktober" to test the new feature. The hover feature is an M2 iPad Pro exclusive feature and allows an Apple Pencil 2 to be held up to 12 millimeters above the M2 iPad Pro for a more seamless transition when stopping and starting on a digital canvas.
