Best drawing/painting app for iPad Pro + Apple Pencil

[faust]

Hey all! I recently acquired an iPad Pro, and an Apple Pencil. What is the best drawing/painting app available for it? I'm a total novice at creative stuff, so any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Procreate. It's the creative standard for iPad. Don't even look into any of those gimmicky apps. Go for the best.

Isn't there a big thread of drawings from the iPad Pro and the used apps?

I never liked Procreate, for me it's way too much fussing with brushes, settings and what not.

Which one is your favorite one? I do not want 10 different apps for it.

Paper for quick "artsy" sketches, 80% of my needs.
Concepts for more detailed work (using layers), 20% of my needs.

Pixure is a solid Pixel Art Studio if that's what you looking for.

Pro illustrator, Brad Colbow, talks highly of Affinity Photo.

I agree. I have a few, but i tend to gravitate toward Tayasui Sketches.

Can you calibrate the pencil in any of them? Some seem to be very light with a pencil and requires a lot of pressure for darker shading (or maybe I'm scared of damaging the screen..)

Any apps with a good range of pencils?
