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.)

Procreate Tips

Get your Procreate Version and Build number:

go to your Procreate main Gallery (not in any Stacks)
pick the name "Procreate" in the upper-left corner.
(From here you can also "Restore Example Artworks" and "Start Gallery Recovery".)

iPad Tips

Take a screenshot using a connected keyboard

cmd shift 3 — screenshot your entire screen
cmd shift 4 — screenshot with handles to edit

Get the software version on your iPad

Launch the Settings app, select General, then select About.
OR Ask Siri "What is my iOS version number", or just "what version" (!)
