That's what I expected. Thought I could use it for work. Didn't think I'd find another use. So far, I've not used it for work at all and have spent considerably more time than I would have guessed just drawing. I'm enjoying it more than expected.
Got a tip for us?

I'm not an artist either (I just doodle for fun), but I really enjoy using the Pencil, it adds a new dimension to the iPad's utility. In addition to GoodNotes, as Precursor mentioned, you may also want to take a look at Notability, and also at the Concepts app.
New drawing done in Procreate:

Tbh, the more I used it for work, the more useful the whole machine has become. I started using Scanner Pro to scan documents, PDF Expert to edit and sign documents etc. Even in iOS mail app you can view a PDF document, sign and send it without leaving the mail app. It is a really useful machine if your work particularly involves a lot of documents. I also love that I can search my handwritten tools from 5 years ago in GoodNotes (GoodNotes has that feature). The only reason I still had to have a laptop is due to company's proprietary windows software
Messing around with paint brushes in Procreate. Really like the Dry Brush for feathers

For the first time I tried to draw something in Procreate (following this tutorial -
)
The result in the video is far superior than what I managed to do but I lack any talent when it comes to drawing so I did not expect miracles.

That's fantastic! I'm in the exact same spot as you. I'm not an artist, but I've been playing around. I followed that same tutorial and came up with this.
I never would have posted my crappy art, but seeing someone else posting theirs encouraged me to post mine. ?
It is awesome! Congrats! No need to be shy about posting it.
I've done a few of her tutorials. I enjoy her style.
Wow this is fantastic I am going to try! Well done!
EDIT: I tried for the first time today...I’m not an artist and the first time I got frustrated & gave up. I went out and tried again. It took me 3 hours but I’m happy to have done it!! Still far from the tutorial but for a complete beginner it’s very encouraging.

Teela Cunningham, Every-Tuesday.com, has some nice Procreate free tutorials in various styles (flat, watercolor, sketch) as well as some courses (a free intro to Procreate, watercolor lettering and watercolor florals). I’m just playing around with some of the tutorials and did this one this morning. I’m not being deliberate or trying to do a great job, I’m mainly trying to get comfortable with the tools and I’m working on a Mini 5 because it’s less intimidating than the iPad Pro 11 for now. It was really easy and didn’t take all that long to do.
Been a while! Awesome to see the thread still alive and some really good stuff getting posted! Here’s a quick one of Maradona. Adobe Draw.

I followed 2 other tutorials, the construct is pretty similar with using the same tools. The Beach was hard for me as you really need to have the right movement with the Pencil. The Sunrise was easier. Voilà!
Nice job! Looks like "Art with Flo".
