i saw in ur tags u said ur last work was done on ipad, i was wondering if u think they’re worth the investment if i already have a tablet/laptop !

hello!! this is a good question!! i got my iPad as a repurposed gift so i didn’t pay for it out of pocket. How Ever, with the fact that Procreate is $13.99 (and a one-time payment!!!!!!!!), supports PSD imports/exports, and has brush customization (and import options from other artist brushpacks!!).. LIKE! I’ve had it for 3 days and i love it. I’m finishing the commissions I started on my computer, on my iPad..! so it definitely can pay for itself so 2 speak if you do commissions as well!

Hmm. There is a learning curve though since the iPad has a bunch of finger-specific controls (feels like spellcasting using four whole fingers to swipe across the screen) UM..

OK TO KEEP THIS SHORT: yes! if you can get it second hand definitely, since the $1000+ price tag is fucking terrifying!! A 2nd generation iPad Pro and a 1st generation apple pencil work great so if u can save several fucking hundred dollars by avoiding the brand new shit, DO SO!! and it’s nice to only have to carry 1 thing around and have all ur art in say, google drive or something similar! its freeing and i like it!

ultimately its up to u, for example if you’ve been wanting to get a cintiq or similar screen tablet I’d say an ipad n procreate are another option to look into! it’s not necessarily better than a tablet+laptop, and i’m still going to use my own plenty for touchups and other work (like school.. wah) so my final answer is Yes they’re worth it but don’t feel the need to jump and spend a huge amount of money! waiting for sales is a good idea bc apple isn’t going anywhere lmfao
