Curt Notes

PROCREATE

Again my big concern here is just keeping language super neutral. Phrases like "he traveled to Tasmania Australia to escape his life in Sydney Australia" could be worded more simply and factually (also repeating Australia every time in that paragraph isn't necessary.)

"odd jobs to sustain himself"

"his passion for digital art"

"James and Lloyd met back when..."

all opportunities to simplify and make more neutral.

lead-in

Procreate is a raster graphics editor app for digital painting developed and published by the Australian company Savage Interactive for iOS and iPadOS. It was launched on the App Store in 2011.
