Use Procreate with 3D reference models

Use Procreate with 3D reference models; a drawing of a mech character from 3D model by Glen Southern

You can use Procreate with 3D models to create incredible drawings faster. For most of my career I’ve been creating 2D drawings that will eventually be transformed into 3D. In this tutorial, I’m going to use 3D blockout from a program called Nomad Sculpt, which you can find on the iPad, then taking that as my reference to work up a painting in Procreate for iPad. 

If you still don't have an Apple table to create art with, take a look at our guide to the best iPads for drawing as well as our deep dive feature into the iPad generations to see which is right for you. Also, read my Procreate review to find out why this app is so good. Finally, take a look at our guide to the best free 3D apps to try out (though I recommend Nomad Sculpt).
