iPad Pro selfie
🕑 Added 2016-08-14 20:26:46 +0000 UTC If you follow me on Twitter, you may already know that I made a big-deal impulse buy on the last day of my trip: an iPad Pro and Apple's Pencil.I had brunch with Rich Stevens and Ren Caldwell on Thursday at my favorite restaurant in Northampton, The Green Bean. Ren reviews Apple products for iMore (her hand-drawn article on the Pencil was what sold me on it earlier this year), and she wanted to play with a handful of styluses for an upcoming review. Rich and Ren both broth their iPad Pros and the three of us played with them for a couple of hours over caffeine.
I'd already had the new iPad on my mind... but I only knew about the large-screen, rather expensive ones. So I'd shelved my interest in the new toy until, well, Thursday morning, when I finally got to play with a smaller tablet, and found out how much less it costs than the big one.
There happens to be an Apple store in Northampton, and it happened to have a no-sales-tax sale going on that day. So, armed with my two Apple smarties, I went in and smacked down the dollars.
Is it an impulse buy if it's something I'd wanted all year anyway?
I'm already drawing way more than usual, because I can draw at any angle, in any lighting situation, and I can use a tool that appears to look like graphite, but won't smudge in my sketchbook (which is the only reason I don't draw with pencil as often as I'd like to).
I have a feeling y'all will see not only a lot more drawing going on, but also a lot more of these process GIFs! Let me know if you like it - I'll screen cap more of the beginning sketches next time. :)
If you have any requests or ideas, share 'em! I've only downloaded Paper thus far; I want to spend this week looking at different apps and pushing the limits of this thing. B)

I tried Procreate but forgot what it did that Paper doesn't do! It's next on my list to play with, thanks! (And thanks for the brushstroke recording info, I didn't know that!)

Dunno if you've tried it yet, but Procreate is sorta the bomb when using the pencil and the iPad pro. One of the (several) neato keen things is that it automagically records every brushstroke while you're working, so you can make a video when you're done (or even when you're not done).
