Hi after many years not being able to paint because of ra making it hard to hold brushes and aching joints plus the house full of the smell of paint. The wife hates it. I have been given an iPad and a great art package and it has given me a new interest beside video games. I recommend all you budding artist to give it a go.

I've been using brushes and art set for a while. It does help. I've got the I pencil that goes with the new iPad. So far I haven't found it amazing but maybe it will. But it's great for painful hands.

What pen is that. I have procreate the best art software ever and I have at least six aps.

Procreate

I don't know this and will investigate. iPad pro has this pencil ( not cheap) for drawing called, originally, an I pencil . As I say I haven't investigated it's full potential but it seems to do fine lines beautifully plus the full range of brushes and felt tips, crayons as in art box.

Oh you have the iPad Pro. I only have an iPad Air 2. Want a pro but have to save up for one boy they are expensive but great. Watch some tutorials for procreate on utube there are some fantastic ones.

It only works on that one. I wouldn't fret, thanks for the procreate tip. And creativity helps well being!

I'll talk to my wizard of a son how to do it. I don't have many only just started. Worked in oils, water colours and air brush on passed. Coming to terms with iPad art. I was a graphic designer and worked for my local council. I used in design and illustrator.
