iPad Pro Share Your Drawings with iPad Pro + Apple Pencil

[FairyCatInPink]

I assure you I'm waiting eagerly for my very immediately pre-ordered shipment. No news as of yet.

And the main thing about all the Apple Pencil shots on YouTube is that they're largely just scribbling and not trying to draw something, so you can't compare the result to what you think they were trying to draw. - _ -

I can tell you, it's just amazing. I love to draw by my hand and on paper, but using Apple Pencil on iPad Pro even doesn let me feel I'm drawing on tablet. It's very smooth, no lagging. I absolutely using this combination as my digital sketchbook and no longer carrying my usual sketchbook and art supplies.

Great stuff!

Thanks, it helps tide me over to hear that stuff. (And since I typed that, my estimated ship date has been pushed back again. Yay.) I'm really surprised that Apple was the company to step up and offer an alternative to Wacom, but it really sounds like they've focused their talents on making something.

And happily, a couple of videos have shown up that do show it off well. This one I've watched a few times:

Images done using the Medibang Paint app. It's clear the Ipad pro is awesome for sketching and painting, but I wanted to test whether it can produce clear, precise inking for comic book art production. Considering whether to scrap my Cintiq Companion and go with the Ipad Pro as my sole tablet for comic art.

I hadn't had much interest in the iPad Pro until I started playing with Mischief on the Mac. As soon as an iOS version of Mischief appears, I'll probably be investing in both the iPad and the pencil. Until then, I'm stuck w/ the Wacom and Macbook of old.

That is amazing, @FairyCatInPink

[EDIT: found my issue. Mentioned the 'fix' in the next post]

What the hell is wrong with me.

I cannot get Notes to go into sketch mode. There's no button, using the pencil in a new note just acts like I'm trying to move the keyboard cursor around.

What am I missing?

Figured it out. The sketch icon doesn't show up unless the Note is part of your iCloud or 'on my iPad' accounts. My Notes was using a gmail account by default. Once I switched to an iCloud account for the notes folder, the sketch doodle appeared.

Quick sketch of my lady while she sleeps. Love all the other art here!

I Like the tablet. Just wish it had more tooth on screen. Lots of weird glitches and bugs in procreate. Not sure if I'm keeping it yet. Still think cintiq companion paints better. I Have a week to decide.

 

[Pug72]

Well seeing some of the responses here I am definitely not posting mine as I can't draw worth a damn.

But really rad to see what people with some talent can do with this thing!

Post it!
Share no matter what your skill/talent, I love seeing peoples art and styles and enjoy them all.

I'm sure a lot of people who read this thread do too.

Hey I get a dot at the beginning of every stroke in that app. Any clue how to fix this? I really need a inking app, and procreate has line quality issues. Pressure works good in medibang paint. Except for the dot.

wont it work with Astropad?

Thank you for the encouragement! I'm just starting out so I guess I'm a bit hesitant when I see such amazing work in here.

But here we go. First shot with the Pencil! Using Paper by Fifty-Three

 

[akuma13]

@ccicconi great work! I need to check out this Medibang app.

Here is another sketch. I used Procreate for the rough and Graphic for the inks. I like how you can adjust the brushes and stroke for each line.

Not a great solution. U can't send full resolution Retna over usb 3.0 so you will have lag and poor image quality (sampling) You need display port for that. Tried it recently, might be ok for digital art newbs. But I won't bother with it.

Got bored and drew mickey

Apple Pencil has reignited my long-dormant desire to pencil sketch portraits.

 

[bowlman2345]

These are amazing. I'm working on some stuff now. I haven't drawn much in years, but the Pencil has piqued my interest again.

 

[npolly0212]

Another

 

[MartyCan]

I'm not an artist (Haven't drawn in years) and I don't have the Apple Pencil yet but I did this fooling around last night with a plain stylus in Adobe Sketch. Can I play too? Mostly just trying out various effects to see the results. More fun with a goal in mind.

Yes, I get the dot too, but it isn't really present if you work with small brushes (under 10). And you can minimize it by inking from the inside out, if you take my meaning. Bury the beginning of your strokes inside other black areas. Also, just erase the dot when you have to.

 

[franzkfk]

It took me 4 hours.

The devs have to fix it. Short version: The example app Apple released had a bug where input points were never receiving pressure data corrections, and it looks like a lot of developers duplicated that error in their software. I think it could be on Apple's end to make these blobs occur less frequently in the first place, but if the corrections are applied they'll disappear almost instantly.

Procreate's problem is different but related: They're doing corrections, but they have a heavy pressure smoothing effect (wish you could adjust it) and some of those erroneous predicted points get used in the smoothing algorithm before they get corrected, which means the fat start of line persists even once the touch data is corrected.

I fixed the bug in TouchCanvas and added some basic control for brush size/color... here's an example of the pressure sensitivity working really well when 1) corrections are applied properly and 2) no unnecessary pressure smoothing is applied. Brush range is from ~0-300 pixels or so, specifically doing hard pokes at the screen to demonstrate the pressure response (note the end of stroke tapers, a product of the raw pressure data, which Procreate smooths out).

Less of a drawing, more of a tech demo. As you can see the Pencil has plenty of pressure resolution, it's just not being used well in the current art apps. Ignore my terrible brush engine.

I literally can't draw for toffee yet still have ordered an apple pencil (for work)

However some of the art here is absolutely staggering. Hats off to you all
