Value Study works side-by-side with any digital painting app. Keep your reference visible while you paint, without switching between apps.
A small but important note.
Value Study is a reference tool. It is there to support your practice, not replace it. The real learning happens when you sit down and paint the studies yourself. Use the app to experiment quickly and see more clearly, but not as a substitute for actually painting value studies.
On iPad
- Open your painting app (Procreate, etc)
- Swipe up from the bottom to show the Dock
- Tap and hold the Value Study icon in the Dock
- Drag it to the right edge of the screen
- Adjust the divider between apps to your preference
On Android
- Open your painting app (Clip Studio Paint, etc)
- Tap the Recent Apps button (square icon at the bottom)
- Tap the app icon at the top of the card
- Select "Split screen"
- Tap Value Study to open it in the second window
- Adjust the divider between apps to your preference
Both apps will stay open together. Load your reference in Value Study and start painting.
Works with any painting app: Procreate, Adobe Fresco, Infinite Painter, Ibis Paint X, Autodesk Sketchbook, and more. As long as the app supports split screen, it will work with Value Study.
Tips
- Give your painting app more space. A good setup is to have 70% for your painting app, 30% for Value Study.
- Adjust values while painting. Tap into Value Study to change the number of values without closing your painting app.
- Can't find Value Study in the Dock? On iPad, add it by long-pressing the icon in the App Library and selecting "Add to Dock."
