I'd like to get back to drawing / sketching again, and with the apps available on the App Store, I think there are more than enough options to fit my style / needs.
Any iPad or iPad Pro users here? Specifically those using an Apple Pencil. Which do you use? Do you enjoy it? If you are using one, have you used the other for comparison?
I have a Wacom Cintiq, it is not portable at all. From what I have seen on YouTube, the lag on an iPad, whether it be Pro or not, will be less than I currently experience with the Wacom. Being less on the Pro than the iPad respectively.
As far as parallax, the Cintiq has it, the iPad has it, the Pro has significantly less.
I feel like I've already talked myself into thinking that buying a used iPad Pro or new iPad with a new Apple Pencil to supplement the Wacom and get back desk space will be enough.
I guess I want to see if anyone has any personal iPad / Pro anecdotal experience they'd like to share?
- iPad Pro 2018 + old version pencil + Procreate = around $600 done!********
- You will develop a tick, double tapping the paper when drawing irl to undo...********
- Go for it, I went with the larger one, find it more comfy. New pencil + Procreate + a screen protector (got the Benks one) for paper rather than glass feel.spl33nidoru
- The smaller sizes are certainly better if you want to carry it around often, which I don't. Also get a strong case as these Pro are thin and will bend easily.spl33nidoru
- so far, that's pretty much my planimbecile
- oops, that reply was to graph. thanks for the input spl, I hadn't thought about protection / transport yetimbecile
- I too have the 2018, it's perfect, can't think of anything I would need the newer one forspl33nidoru
- I rediscovered Wacom+Photoshop recently and it's the best option for me. People using Procreate on iPad is noticable i think, there's a look from it that is recBennn
- Bought the first iPad Pro and Pencil for the purpose of sketching, tried and tried but coming from years on a Wacom I honestly don't like the Pencil.face_melter
- The balance is wrong, with the weight at the top end and the cylindrical shape slips in your hand. So if you want the OG Pencil, def. try it first.face_melter
- As for apps, I recommend Art Studio Pro - the closest thing to desktop Ps you can get, makes Adobe's efforts look like pure shit. It even reads Ps brushes.face_melter

- I've used the 2018 10.5" and the 12.9" as well as the newest ones. I prefer the older series not just for price but for feel. Rounded edges, circular pencil.********
- I prefer the midsize (10.5 or 11) over the 12.9". I like to hold the iPad while I draw and the 12.9 gets heavy in the hand, it's awkward.********
- Also the price of the 2018 model plus pencil plus keyboard was hundreds less than the new models********
- Work bought the iPad Pro 2018 with Pencil for me. Finally using procreate on it. Takes some getting used to.shapesalad
- Other drawing apps not as good as procreate. Yet procreate isn’t perfect. I want a quick custom menu panel. To throw brushes and swatches in.shapesalad
- You’ll want a rubber grip thing for the pencil. If you’re not young and have bad finger joints like me.shapesalad
- Not had any issues with lag. That’s an issue only nit pickers and people looking to make YouTube videos face.shapesalad
- I picked up my wife's apple pencil to play with on my iPad mini and found myself enjoying drawing again https://www.flickr.c…JerseyRaindog
