These are the drawing apps I recommend, but one sticks out from the rest

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Drawing is the oldest form of human expression, dating back to a time far older than writing. I, as a visual learner, rely heavily on illustrations or sketching out things like a prospective DIY furniture project or even cable management under my desk to visualize better. And there are a few incredible apps that help me achieve that. While Procreate is the most recommended drawing app for iPad, there is little unanimity on the Android side. Since I belong to the latter group and happily use my Android tablet — a OnePlus Pad 2 — extensively, I can recommend my favorite apps that I use not just for drawing, but essentially for all forms of scribbling. All of these vary in utility, and you don't need to stick to just one. Most importantly, all the apps I have covered offer the mentioned functionalities in their free versions, giving you a lot to experience before you may choose to pay. Here is the list of drawing apps that I recommend, starting with the one I use the most. Which of the following drawing or note-taking apps have you used? 0 votes May: Beautiful Bullet Journal NaN % Sketchbook NaN % Concepts NaN % Notewise NaN % Microsoft OneNote NaN % Other (let me know in the comments) NaN % May: Beautiful Bullet Journal Tushar Mehta / Android Authority What if I told you that the app I use most frequently to draw is not, in fact, a drawing app? While its unassuming name doesn't justify its beauty, May is the app I turn to daily to doodle, both to loosen up and to ensure my day goes as planned. If the name and the picture above do not make it immediately apparent, May is a daily planner app, with an expandable canvas for daily scribbles. Because I love to use a stylus or a pencil while also ensuring all my musings are not siloed in physical notebooks, I rely on May to do more than just jotting my to-dos. Besides its time-blocking features, May lets me track my mood daily simply by choosing the most fitting emoji. While I have never been the kind to embellish my journal with stickers — or even have a daily journal, except for one where I dump sporadic thoughts — I enjoy the fact that May integrates my daily doodles so seamlessly. On days when I don't feel like doing much, the app doesn't force me to enter something. I can scribble vacuously, add a picture or meme, or type out my notes using the keyboard. It's this simplicity and effortlessness of using the app that makes me come back to it repeatedly. Sketchbook Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Sketchbook is like the Samsung Galaxy S series of drawing apps, and was first adapted for mobile platforms in 2010. It would be a disservice to credit its popularity wholly to the fact that Autodesk, the creator of AutoCAD, owns it. Instead, Sketchbook earns its reputation for its extensive set of features and easy-to-adapt workflow. I was first introduced to the app over a decade ago by a friend who used it to doodle caricatures for 2D animations on his Samsung Galaxy S III Neo. Since then, I have found myself coming back to Sketchbook frequently. That is because the app is replete with guides and options that make it easy to translate thoughts into actual sketches. And for times when I am harboring a drought of original ideas, the app's layering and or mirror drawing features allow me to easily scale another image or combine random squiggles into a profound mandala drawing. For the latter, the app's bucket fill feature remains my favorite for a low-effort-but-high-reward experience. Besides those features, I enjoy the almost-plateaued learning curve with Sketchbook. However, it also offers more advanced features, such as guides for tracing three-dimensional perspectives, which are particularly useful for those who can easily visualize them. Concepts Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Unlike the conventional and proven experience that Sketchbook offers, Concepts leans towards a significantly more modern interface. I find it highly refreshing and rely on Concepts when I am brimming with the urge to draw but don't have a clear direction on where to start. The free version offers numerous brushes and tools, but it's the extensive range of customization features for the background canvas that truly inspires me. From textured backgrounds that feel welcoming for an early morning scribble to dark gray ones that are apt for midnight reflections, Concepts, to me, feels like the perfect outlet for visual creativity. Among other features that keep me engaged is the pinwheel palette picker. When you tap on it, palette variations spread out radially, while the rotating interface stirs up the most lucid dopamine release that I experience on any of the drawing apps listed here. I hope whoever was responsible for designing that experience received a well-deserved pay hike. Another reason I respect the app's designers is that they put every control within easy reach. I rarely have to lift my palm to access different options and can simply extend my Stylo pencil with my OnePlus Pad 2 to choose pen presets, configure backgrounds, or tweak other options. Notewise Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Despite being smitten by the extensive set of tools that other drawing apps offer here, I find myself inclined to use Notewise, an app with a slightly varied utility. Unlike the others, Notewise focuses on note-taking, but its free version offers so many features that make it impossible for me not to recommend it for drawing. Notewise is like Google Docs (or Microsoft Word, if you prefer paying or viewing ads in your documents) on steroids, allowing you to add text, media, tables, and more without limitations. Meanwhile, its drawing tools are what draw me to it. Notewise offers two pens, a brush, and a highlighter along with the text and media options I mentioned above. While there isn't an abundance of drawing tools or fancy color pickers, what makes it so enjoyable for me is the more liberating placement. Unlike Word or Google Docs, boxes do not need to be snapped to a grid and can be thrown around wherever you want. However, the feature I cherish the most is the flexibility to write or draw anywhere, even on top of existing images. Since each element is a separate entity, I can move the photos and the outlines I later drew over them to separate places. If a plain white sheet doesn't cut it, I can also choose from a host of ruled or accented page formats for times when I want to focus on writing or working out a math problem. Although Notewise is not solely a drawing app, it remains one of the escape routes for my contemplations and reflections. Microsoft OneNote Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Microsoft's OneNote is the most rudimentary drawing app from the lot mentioned here, in that it offers the least number of drawing tools — a pen, a highlighter, and an eraser. Gladly, it allows tailoring colors and the thickness of the pen to requirements. I wouldn't readily pick OneNote over the other drawing apps, especially Concepts and Sketchbook, which offer far more options, even in their free or trial versions. However, just one feature catapults OneNote higher in my preference, and that is its ability to sync notes with other devices. I juggle multiple devices, running almost every operating system, for work and personal use. As you would expect, keeping a tab on notes and files can be extremely challenging, especially as I try to avoid paying for services just to enable synchronization features. In that light, OneNote is just the perfect app for me to view my drawings, scribbles, or other brain dumps across multiple platforms, including its web interface. Unlike other Microsoft 365 apps, OneNote is completely free to use. Syncing comes without a cost, either, and all I need to do is ensure I'm logged into my Microsoft account, although that isn't a prerequisite for using the app locally. Unlike its limited set of drawing tools, OneNote also allows inserting a variety of text boxes anywhere freely throughout the canvas. And when I am done jotting down ideas, I can easily share the document across as a PDF directly from my Android phone or tablet, or use the desktop interface to create a shareable link. It's for these features that I feel OneNote can also be a great free whiteboarding app. Are there any drawing apps that you rely on and swear by?

From corporate to creative: CFO Mark Harrison's unconventional journey

Balancing financial discipline with the creative freedom that defines Procreate was a challenge Mark Harrison embraced when he began his role as CFO of the Tasmanian startup in 2021. He credits his creativity, lateral thinking, problem solving, and interpersonal skills for his success in the finance industry. Yet his path to CFO of a leading graphic design software company was far from traditional. 'When I started at university, I was studying mathematics, political science and philosophy,' Harrison says. 'They were all subjects dear to my heart, but I wasn't convinced I was going to make a living doing any of those things, and so I decided to give accounting a try instead. 'I absolutely hated it … I failed just about every class for the first two years straight.' He ended up being dismissed from the University of Tasmania and had to write a letter to the Dean of the Faculty of Commerce requesting to be let back in. 'Thankfully, they allowed me back on probation, and I knew it was time to knuckle down,' he says. 'I studied hard, did relatively well, and actually began to enjoy certain elements of it.' But it wasn't his grades that landed him a role after graduating. Instead, it was a shared passion for bushwalking. 'I went along to an event for students at a Big Four firm and got talking to someone who turned out to be a head audit partner, even though I didn't know it at the time,' Harrison says. The two bonded over their love of adventuring, and when it came time for Harrison to apply for graduate jobs, he simply put on a suit, grabbed his resume and walked back to the company's office, where he asked to speak with this partner again. Two weeks later he was offered a job. 'The importance of forming genuine connections with people is something I carry with me to this day,' he says. Mark Harrison's path to CFO of a leading graphic design software company was far from traditional Three years later, his network also helped him get a job at Findex (WHK at the time). Harrison quickly became integral to their advisory capabilities and was promoted to partner at the age of 28. After more than 15 years working in financial business advisory and accountancy, Harrison made the move to Procreate, where he was offered the CFO position. Transitioning from the structured corporate world to leading the finance function at a creative startup required a fundamental mindset shift for Harrison. However, he embraced the challenge and found ways to leverage his skills. 'The development process for the software developers and designers is very collaborative. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's complete and utter chaos… But they've adopted a rhythm that works for them and pull incredible things together,' he says. 'It would have been very easy to come in from my previous role in a very controlled environment and be put off by the apparent formlessness of the new role. But the upside is that you can create and tailor the function from first principles. 'I looked for the areas of the business that needed tightening up, or the areas where we could do something better. I packaged those up as bite-sized projects for the team to work on, and built the finance function piece by piece, from the ground up.' He says the role of finance in a business like Procreate is 'fragile'. Putting too many governance and procedural barriers in place risks stunting creativity and innovation. 'You have to try and strike a balance … a strong finance function can enable the company's purpose and creativity and sustain it into the future,' Harrison says. 'When I first started, profit was almost seen as a dirty word. We are very purpose-driven and have a cultural aversion to operating in an orthodox manner, so a tailored finance function that protects our purpose is essential. 'I repositioned profit so it was seen instead as something that enables… we can reinvest, and the creatives can go about their work without having to wonder if we're going to hit financial hardship.' But for Harrison, feeling safe at work isn't just about a healthy bottom line. It's also about mental wellbeing, and he leads with that in mind. 'Everyone's got their own leadership style, but I always try to create an environment where people feel safe to express themselves, to come out of their shell and fire on all cylinders,' Harrison says. 'Leadership is all about building trust and humility with your people, enabling them to win as a group, and not doing things for individual glory.' While AI is making waves in the tech, graphic design and digital art spaces, Harrison says it currently goes against what Procreate stands for — that is, enabling people to lose themselves in the creative experience and develop their innate, human talent. 'In its current form we don't think AI aids the creative process people are looking for when they use Procreate,' Harrison says. 'Of course, we're still searching for answers as to whether AI can facilitate artistic creativity, but we've decided that in its current form and application, we're struggling to see ways it actually enhances the experience that is so critical to our products. 'I think if you were to tell Monet that Water Lilies can be created in two seconds flat, a part of him would die inside … just before adding that you're missing the point: what makes these pieces great is the time, thought, and human decisions that are poured into them. 'Artists are making art first and foremost because they love the experience of creating and expressing something.' - Disclaimer This publication contains general information only and Deloitte is not, by means of this publication, rendering accounting, business, financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice or services.

Buchanan High pupils help create new stained-glass windows for their school

The final product now adorns the building and is the perfect way to greet pupils, parents, staff and visitors. Creative Coatbridge children have helped to transform the look of their school. As part of their National art and design course, Buchanan High pupils were asked to come up with a range of ideas - culminating in a stained-glass window design for the two windows at the front of the school. ‌ The final product now adorns the building and is the perfect way to greet pupils, parents, staff and visitors. ‌ The pupils' creations are even more impressive given they had to follow a series of instructions. A Buchanan High School spokeswoman explained: "Limitations of the brief included that the design was to be based on the Scottish company Timorous Beasties, and the theme was set as Flora and Fauna. "The windows were to be divided into 10 panels - one for each student - and the designs began as drawings using pen and inks and continued as digital designs using Procreate on iPads. "The fantastic final designs were realised by stained-glass window specialist Steven Graham. "We couldn't be happier with how the windows look and congratulate the pupils, and thank Steven, for all of their hard, dedicated work." *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

Best iPad apps for unleashing and exploring your creativity

There are a number of iPad apps that can help you explore and express your creativity. Although the iPad started off as a simple device that could be used to stream content or browse the web on the go, Apple has essentially turned its iPads into powerful machines that can be used to do things like create digital art and edit videos. We've compiled a list of some of the best iPad apps for creativity that are available on the App Store. Before we get into the list, it's worth noting that although Adobe's creative apps are often top choices for creativity on the iPad, this list won't include them because they are already quite well-known. The list will instead focus on somewhat lesser-known apps. Procreate is one of the most popular drawing apps for the iPad, and for good reason. The app lets you create digital paintings, sketches, and illustrations using dozens of different types of brushes. Procreate is easy to use and features built-in gesture controls, along with a simple interface. The app allows for high-resolution canvases up to 16K by 8K on compatible iPad Pros. It also lets you create storyboards, GIFs, animatics, and simple animations. Plus, you can import image files such as JPG, PNG, and TIFF. Procreate includes several features that are designed to help you during the creative process on your iPad, such as QuickShape, StreamLine, Drawing Assist, and ColorDrop. Once you're finished creating your piece, you can relive your creative journey with the app's time-lapse 'Replay' feature and share a 30-second time-lapse video on social media. You can access Procreate with a one-time payment of $12.99. LumaFusion is a great app for editing videos if you're ready to graduate from iMovie.
