I found that my iPad was improving my analog drawings too. I even illustrated most of my new book with this amazing tool. I did calligraphy, animation, collage, and photo manipulation. My iPad journey took me in lots of new creative directions. Then I spent months reading books and articles, browsing inspiring illustrators and YouTube instructional videos, taking courses, and working through every feature and tool.

I spent an awful lot of time trying out different apps until I focused on Procreate.

I figured, worst case, I’d give up and just use it for Facebook and Netflix. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it because, frankly, I’ve spent a long time drawing in a sketchbook with pens and brushes and the idea of making digital art seemed kind of icky.īut the Apple Pencil intrigued me, so I made it my summer project to learn to use it to make some art.
