Procreate is commercial software for Apple's iPad available from their App Store.
It is used by digital artists to create everything from rough sketches to hyper-realistic images.
The iPad app is notable in part because of its large library of brushes. (Procreate ships with about 200 brushes and literally thousands more are available free and for purchase from users.)
