iPad Pro Artists Share Apple Pencil Drawings

To me this is a joke...seriously...you really need an iPad pro to draw??? For me, as a photographer and artist, it is useless because it cannot run a full version of the Photoshop and it doesn't have a file management system. I do not need more toys.

no one NEEDS an iPad Pro. Heck someone with the right skills can use leaves and a burnt stick.

and guess what, just because you worship at the altars of the user accessible file system and Photoshop doesn't mean everyone has to have them.

So don't buy it if you don't want it but don't pretend like it's a total piece of trash that no one should be buying cause it isn't want you want

Why are people so focused on this junk Photoshop?
Click to expand...

its like in the TV world everyone is focused on the Ratings. why do the tv nets only pay attention to the ratings, why twitter or Facebook chatter or how many fan sites pop up and how big are they or how many hits on their websites or whatever.

its simple. its how its always been. there was a time when Photoshop was THE app. If you wanted to be taken seriously you knew Photoshop inside and out. there was no other application to know. and some folks just can't get off that train anymore than the nets can stop treating the nielsens as sacrosanct
 
Gimp, Krita, procreate etc There are so many photoshop alternatives. A good artist doesn't need photoshop.

i could say the same thing about you understanding all the other posters.

heck the simple fact that you felt the need to post a reply that appears to be an attempt to denigrate me and my view of your comment just shows more of your superiority attitude. Agree to disagree and use whatever you want and let the rest of us do the same without suffering your judgment

No, you still don't get. I'll explain later, but right now I'm busy. I will say though, that digital is quite lazy. Kind of like these "filmmakers" as they like to pretend they are, when they've never exposed or cut a frame of celluloid in their life, and don't understand what that physical process is like and how it contributes to to the artistic process.

Anyone ever hear of a sketchpad and a real artist's pencil? I'm sick of digital, digital, digital.

Any time I have anyone old enough to have table drafting experience looking for work, I hire them. Table drafting skills made for efficient draftsmen. Guys who first learned drafting on Autocad are about 1/3 as productive. The winning combination is a table drafter that can use cad. Draftsmen can be trained to use Cad systems cost-effectively. What hasn't proven worth training are cad guys that don't know anything about drawing.

Digital is an enabler for people with less talent. The computer does it all for you.
 
Facepalm. Without skill you might have a 3000 dollar cyntiq, the latest Macbook pro+ ipad pro + Photochop creative Cloud and still draw like a ten year old drawing crappydrawings on ms paint.

If the computer did all for you, everyone with an iPad pro would paint like Rembrandt , yet I've only seen crappy manga art, from non pros

I dare you to draw something profesional with "the computer doing it for you". You will quickly realize how much you suck lol.

Wow. I work in digital content creation. That last line there is the exact catchphrase we use after some ignorant, ungrateful client has left the room. If the computer can do all the work, quit paying us and buy a computer.

har har. did you read the article. this "big" issue is cured by the five seconds it takes to do a hard reset and its not an overwhelming number of units. Heck they might even be fixed if the owners did an iOS restore.

Yes, I did read the article and am aware of the fix. Hence the tongue sticking out emoji. It was a joke.
 
I hope people arent buying ipp's thinking they'll suddenly be able to draw well.. People get exactly the same or superior results with 3rd party styluses on iPads or Wacoms or mice (!) or even real life pencils, etc.

I'm like a few others here and ideally want pencil support in a smaller iPad. :/ - Just for portability and convenience.. I love my ipad3 + Jot Touch4 but the cludgy work-around I use for palm rejection isn't ideal.

A motorscooter can replace a semi truck for a lot less money too.
But not really.

Which is why I'm interested in what the Wacom crowd thinks of it. Because there's no indication so far that this thing is a scooter to Wacom's semi.

Also, a scooter vs. a semi? I would MUCH rather have the scooter. Better gas mileage, can actually park in regular sized spaces (and much smaller spaces!), etc. I have no use for a semi and nowhere to park it. A better analogy would have been a semi truck vs. a half-ton pickup, because those are at least in the same category, if not intended for remotely the same use. In short, that analogy is so deeply flawed as to be functionally pointless.

Since I already wasted a load of time explaining this before, I'm not inclined to keep doing it every time someone pipes up that they can't see a difference between sketching a doodle on iOS and using a full featured Wacom Cintiq on all the applications available to it on OS X & Windows.

I was being generous calling it a motorscooter.

Now that Apple Stores are beginning to receive more reliable Apple Pencil shipments, some early adopters of the iPad Pro have been able to purchase the accessory over the past week and put it to the test.

Many of those iPad Pro users have been sharing their work in the MacRumors discussion forums, and many of the drawings posted have been very creative. Below is a gallery of some of the sketches shared.

Good video. It is a good review of apple's stylus as well as an artist that uses procreate as his primary software. I figured it would be great for drawing. I'm hoping affinity photo comes to the iPad with stylus support as well. Though editing large amounts of photos and shuffling everything around seems like it would be problematic on an iPad. Now if only someone would make a version of zbrush for iOS.
 
I'm very excited for my Apple Pencil (arrives tomorrow). This is what I did using the Paper 53 Pencil on my iPad Air 2. I'm very ready to see what I can do on the Pro.

As a web designer, an artist and an amateur photographer, Photoshop's (and other Adobe apps) role in my workflow has been steadily declining for the past two years. There are much leaner, faster and better working apps native to OSX nowadays. Sketch by Bohemian Coding has totally replaced Photoshop as my UI design tool and Affinity Designer has replaced 99% of my Illustrator use, and drawing tools like Mischief don't even have an alternative from Adobe.

TL;DR Just as Adobe might be obsolete tomorrow, file management systems might be the next to follow, and just as the iPad is a toy to you now, you might find yourself in an Apple Store tomorrow :)
