That fancy iPad drawing app I ignored for years turned out to be worth the hype

For like 4 years I was using a free program on my PC for digital painting. Thought Procreate was just overpriced hype for rich hobbyists. Then my laptop died 6 months ago and I borrowed a friend's iPad to finish a commission. Took me about 30 minutes to get used to the gestures, but the brush engine alone is insane. Smoother than anything I used on desktop. Now I feel dumb for being stubborn about it. Anyone else have a tool they snubbed forever and then regretted?

Saw some artist on ig say the same thing. Procreate is legit.

Smarter every day buying the expensive thing after buying the cheap thing twice.

Procreate is legit" but that artist probably still owns three cheap styluses before finally buying the Apple Pencil.
