Stop using iPads

[Anonymous No.6240411]

If you use a matte/paperlike screen protector, you will get wobbly lines, especially for slow diagonal strokes. Stabilizer doesn't really prevent them either.

If you don't use a matte screen protector, you have to draw on slippery glass with a plastic tip. This is impossible to get used to because of grease/sweat buildup from your hand and fingers, and makes the drawing surface feel inconsistent. Some areas will feel more slippery, some will feel stiffer, and it will only be consistent if you clean the display and wash & thoroughly dry your hands every 10 minutes.

iPads are a meme. Samsung Galaxy Tabs are a much better option.

You get used to the glass screen feeling after a while. You can use a glove if you need. My only issue with it are the scratches that have built up over the years (I removed any screen protector I had because I felt like it messed with the sensitivity of the pen) and I've worn down the oleophobic coating. I clean it every few hours while drawing.

jesus i thought it was just me. i've had an iPad for 2 years now, i've wanted to love it but every time i try drawing on it i get insanely frustrated at how the pen feels, and how fucking impossible it is to get nice lines, with or without a matte screen protector on.

i've tried the metal tip nibs, those plastic covers, everything. it's just a shit feeling to draw on, but no-one i've run into talks about it. i really don't understand how there are some pro artists using it as their main device.

all i really use the iPad for now is a nice reference screen in front of my sketchbook and occasionally using it for finishing adjustments in procreate before posting online.

[Anonymous No.6240595]

>>6240569
>>6240488

Drawing gloves easily clean the screen as well. Though I will be honest I don't use an excess of gestures I touch the canvas mostly for free rotation and undoing in which the Procreate UI is mostly keeping your hand in one place for the latter.

My biggest issue with procreate is that I don't know how to/if I can just visually flip the canvas without permanently flipping the canvas as I utilize that a lot when drawing.

I swap between desktop and iPad and while I like iPad I do still prefer my desktop.

Procreate is good because of gesture controls and palm rejection. This is the main thing iPads have over Galaxy Tabs.

[Anonymous No.6240611]

>>6240608
Procreate is good because its interface isn't literal garbage. All the galaxy apps are literally ports of PC applications without any thought having gone into how workflows change between a PC with mouse/keyboard/wacom and a tablet.

Procreate actually put thought into how to design around a tablet interface.

Something I have noticed after talking with other iPad users is that I normally draw very lightly which has allowed me to use my nib for literally over a year before I have to eventually replace it, while my friends go through them in just a couple months.

are you a complete idiot? both procreate and artstudio support keyboards. android tablets support them too and heavily encourage them for krita.

Absolutely every single desk tablet does that and better. Also procreate gestures are bothersome and you always risk to drop your expensive pencil because you need to use your fingers.

That was the best until i started to notice how cumbersome it was to position, and specifically with my workstation, i really had to move to accommodate the display. the iapd is so small, and light, i can have it in my lap comfortably, and its latency and performance is the best i've gotten so far.
