I just picked up the 11" iPad Pro for this very purpose. I downloaded Procreate and Affinity. Noticing its quite powerful as I'm starting to dig into it. A bit of a learning curve though with gestures and finding where tools are.
The iPad will really open up when the new OS comes out. Looking forward to that.
Hoping we'll be able to use figma or sketch on the iPad too.
- I wonder how figma or sketch will handle font management on the iPad. Do you have a font manager rn?zarkonite
- Custom Fonts can be installed for use across the system, perfect for creating beautiful documents on iPad. Fonts from boutique and major vendors such as Adobe.ideaist
- ^ From apple.comideaist
- Con't: "..., DynaComware, Monotype, Morisawa and Founder will be available on the App Store."ideaist
- RightFont 5 creator has an iOS version: https://apps.apple.c…. Haven't tried it yet...ideaist
- Nice, thanks for the info.zarkonite

I loved corel painter, anything similar on iPad?
I find most of these have way too many features and style options can get pretty overwhelming.
I still love the feel of pencil on paper, i know there are screens to mimic the texture but i wonder how close the iPad Pro and pen is getting to this?

- I haven't looked into any screen overlays, but the stock pencil and screen don't offer that tactile feel you're after.ben_
- I've read about designers using a matte friction sticker. I also love real paper and real pencils, but have difficulty exporting to SVG ;)nb
- But yeah it feels like smooth plastic on glass, as it is. Not at all like traditional art materials.nb
- I draw on ipad pro (procreate) and a matte screen protector is a must, it adds a nice toothy feel to the drawing. its not quite like paper but it is lovely :Dmantrakid

I'm looking at the iPad Pro for my wife who's a professional artist / illustrator right now. We've used versions of the following in the past, BUT haven't in the past year(s) with the Pencil, larger screen, iPadOS, etc.

Let me/us know if you find any of them useful. Really looking (like most) to replace the Adobe suite across mediums.
: )
- ALSO, iPadOS is out in public beta.
On macOS Cataline 10.15 Beta (2). It's great BUT still has small issues...ideaist - Procreate I dig.ben_
- I found Graphic really useful as I tried to work from an iPad only, BUT needed a more capable tool.
It's come along since AND Affinity Designer has arrived.ideaist - Graphic vs Affinity Designer. Both look great.nb
- graphic looks coolimbecile
- ALSO, iPadOS is out in public beta.

After being on iPad Pro / iPad OS only for like a month (at home that is, not at work) I must say that macOS and desktop OS' in general now feel a bit dated compared to a fluid next-gen OS like iPad OS.
I just wish the iPad Pro was available in a elongated 16:9 15'' inch version or something like that with some more screen space.
The A12 chip is super fast and I can't believe this thing has only 4GB Ram, because you don't notice it. Never experienced any beach-ball like moments.
Sometimes on a fast Mac I got spinning beachballs while doing simple stuff.

Also the iPad Pro and iOS in general becoming serious gaming platform(s). Not just because of Apple Arcade.
As you see with GRID Autosport which is a near full desktop port we could have real console quality games if more devs put in some effort and stop treating it just as $0.99 games.
