I have the iPad Pro, and the fancy Apple Pencil. It’s a very impressive platform, if a little expensive. I’ve also got all sorts of cool drawing software that makes great use of that platform.
But I still use an old fashioned pencil. Specifically, I use inexpensive disposable mechanical #2 pencils from BIC. You can get them on-line in packs of 40 for about $13.
I find that I can draw better with a pencil than with any computer-based platform so far devised. There is just something about the analog physicality of it that affords me greater control.
I wonder whether we will ever get to the point where I will stop using real pencils, the way most people long ago stopped using a mechanical typewriter. I am certainly not opposed to making the transition. I just want something that feels as good to draw with as my trusty disposable BIC pencils. 🙂
