I've wanted a pencil for years, but I'm not an artist, a student or someone who takes a lot of notes. I couldn't honestly think of a good enough reason to pick one up.
Last week I was in a class where the teacher was drawing on the presentation and white boarding things out for us. Finally I found a justification for getting a pen. Went down that day and picked one up.
I've had it for nearly a week. Still haven't found a good white boarding app or found a good time to use it for work. But I moved from Notes to Sketchbook to Procreate in less than 24 hours.
I'm still not an artist, but I'm having a blast playing around doodling and stuff. I guess I should have picked up a pencil years ago like I wanted to.
