[7][8] James did not finish his schooling and felt that he was not focused in life so he traveled to Tasmania[7][9][10] where he met his wife and permanently moved to in the year 2000.

After winning an Apple Design Award in June 2013, Savage launched Procreate 2 in conjunction with iOS 7, adding new features such as higher resolution capabilities and more brush options.

In 2019, Savage switched Procreate to a proprietary graphics engine, Valkyrie,[23] following a period of beta testing on TestFlight.

For additional editing options, such as removing the sketch recording or incorporating music, export the animation to iMovie.
