Can't you purchase an older version of procreate?
Mine is stuck on iOS 11 and still works fine.
Everyone gave good recommendations already.
Autodesk Sketchbook is a no-brainer, being free on iOS and desktops
Sketchbook is sick and free. i use that and procreate, and Icolorama
Affinity Designer is a beast on desktop. Unfortunately, I recall I had to refund it on iOS (can't recall if it was the absence of Apple Pencil, my device, or my iOS version
)
A good mix of raster and vector illustration
my favorites. Procreate is awesome and keeps getting better. excellent brushes, and new animation features are a tone of fun.
Affinity Designer for vector graphics, basically Illustrator for ipad)
Affinity Photo ( basically photoshop for ipad)
Rough Animator for more animation type stuff
I wish someone had told me this sooner. I’ve been using Photo to paint happily for a long time. I bounce back and forth between Procreate and Photo depending on what I’m trying to achieve. Photo has custom brushes just like procreate does. Has a very intuitive layer function built into it (where I find procreate layers to be a bit fiddly if not downright unintuitive at times). The effects in Photo are more robust as well. I guess it’s really up to what your comfortable with, but I definitely would count both of these apps as painters only with the caveat that that’s not ALL they do well.
Affinity photo and designer are top notch, powerful and complex.
Photo is similar to photoshop, it’s an image editor at heart that can also be used to paint.
Designer is a vector drawing app similar to Illustrator.
Procreate is a pure painting app. Nothing to add from what everybody else had said, for painting on iOS it’s the best there is. And probably as good if not better than any ‘natural media’ type paintin app on desktop.
Concepts is a nice vector app that can make drawings look hand drawn yet everything remains editable. It’s excellent for technical drawings And sketches. It has guides that allow you to draw lines, shapes, circles, etc a bit like how you’d use a ruler or guides with a real pencil. It can also draw to scale.
Concepts has a fairly steep learning curve but it’s capable of really nice results and it has an infinite canvas feature so you can just keep drawing.
Concepts is great if you want your drawing to look like It was drawn with pencils, pen and ink.and COPIC marker pens It’s very precise and as it’s vector is resolution independent. In other words your drawing can be scaled to any size without degrading.
Keep telling yourself you are crap and you will be @audio_DT
Everyone has to start somewhere. Just have fun and go easy on yourself.
for begginers and not only
Tayasui Sketches Pro
is also a good option.

Thank you. I don't think I'm crap at everything, though - just art! Oh, and sports
Been trying the spacebar thing for a bit now on the phone - hate it. A lot of the time it won’t place the cursor where you want - some edit boxes limit how far it’ll travel, and also you can’t paste in text at the point you’ve positioned the cursor - it’ll jump back to where it decides the cursor should be. And generally text writing and editing is worse than before.
So, keeping the iPad on 12.
Apple have screwed up basic, working functionality and replaced it with a cludge.
My favorite drawing app is the free Autodesk Sketchbook. I have affinity designer and photo, but sketchbook is simpler and I’m just doodling for fun.
Just be sure to jack up the resolution (“custom size” in the options when you create a new drawing), so that you can get a nice print. We’ve been using 4800 x 6000 and getting 8”x10” prints (so 600 dpi) from Walgreens (here in USA), they have a nice photo printer and you can upload the drawings and go pick them up in an hour, they come out looking awesome.
