That’s awesome that he a digital tablet enables him to create more art. I met a comic book artist recently who was drawing nonstop even while signing autographs and talking to fans.

People on here love to dump on the iPad for being a “consumption device”, and to hate on the Apple Pencil by misquoting/misunderstanding Steve Jobs[0]…

…but if you spend any time around artists it’s evident that the iPad/Pencil/Procreate trio is one of the most significant leaps in consumer tech for visual artists of the last decade.

[0] he never said that any and all styluses are bad - he said that 1) cell phones that 2) you can only interact with by using a stylus (not an uncommon paradigm back in 2007) were bad

It's crazy how much of a stranglehold the Procreate app seems to have in the iPad world for drawing.

What puts it ahead of the Wacom/Surface drawing tablets which have been around for much longer? I'm not sure if I'd describe it as a leap if it's refining existing products.

Yep totally, Procreate on an iPad with a paper-like screen protector and a Pencil is an amazing creative juicer.
