IPads are known for creating high-quality, print-ready illustrations on the go. Newer technology has allowed Apple to create devices that are perfect for both work and play. However, iPads are not exclusive to those just looking for leisure. If you're new to technology or are just looking for a device that is easy to set up with plenty of features, then an iPad is a good choice. This way, you can enjoy an abundance of video and gaming content on the go. IPads offer day-to-day functionality that allows you to tackle everyday tasks while offering powerful hardware.

I hope that it will help you make the right choice. I base my opinion on my own experience as a graphic designer and digital illustrator. In this article, I cover both pros and cons of iPads as well as Drawing tablets. It's not a a black and white answer and strongly depends on your budget, how serious you are about digital art and what your style is.īoth Screen drawing tablets and iPads allow for a natural drawing experience thanks to accurate styli and vivid screens with little delay. If you are a beginner digital artist, or a traditional artist who wants to try their hand in digital, it is important to choose the right equipment.

I had to end up getting a Bluetooth expresskeys Remote from xp pen just to map zbrush keys.People entering into the world of digital art for the first time often ask if they should first make the investment into a drawing tablet or an iPad Pro.ĭrawing tablets have been around for longer, but are they still better than Apples hit devices? I’ve got a dell 15 inch inspirion, which has active pen and Wacom digitiser and it doesn’t work with simultaneous pen and touch. You need to be careful on this because not all active pen pcs are created equal, and some don’t allow for simultaneous pen and touch input, which is necessary for sculpting. As an alternative you can buy a pc with active pen like the surface or a Lenovo, but the caveat is that you need to get an app like tabletpro that allows you to configure a sidebar to map those keys. The mobile studio pro is standalone, like you are looking for, and the cintiq isn’t. Since zbrush needs at least 3 hard keys to work (ctrl, alt, shift) since you can’t access those functions through the ui nowhere, you need either something with physical keys, like Wacom’s mobile studio pro or like a cintiq. Man, that’s been my battle for a few years now.
