Mary the Fairy
Drawn an iPad in Procreate. I gotta say, despite having the best stylus experience for a tablet I've tried, drawing on the iPad's a bit rough. The screen is sizeable enough, but smaller than the XP-Pen I've gotten more used to. The Apple Pencil is serviceable as a stylus, but I had to buy one of those rubber sheathes to get a better feeling grip on it.
Also, despite it's many fun brushes, I'm finding Procreate to be a little frustrating. Something about the brush engine makes most of the default drawing pens do this weird "snap back" effect, where in if you make a quick curved line, it will pull the line down, as if the engine thinks you're laying down some kind of thick goo-ink, so its almost like it's trying to force some kind of physics onto how you draw that is unlike any other program I've tried. The pen also occasionally just stops for a second on it's own. I've tweaked settings to try and futz around with it, but it still trips me up. Something I'm sure I'd get used to with more practice.
I would just use Clip Studio Paint, but it's unfortunately subscription only for mobile devices, and while it's not like it's a big charge, I seethe at the thought of having to pay subscription fees. I get why they've gone with that model, but still, for as infrequently as I draw, I know most of those charges would go to waste in my case. Oh, well. I'll figure something out.
