I use a third-gen iPad Air and a first-gen Apple Pencil. I still consider myself a beginner with digital media, but it's been a fun journey thus far.
But trying out digital art on my iPad let me experiment with different artistic figures and forms, no real-life mess involved. The thought of hauling out all the supplies, setting up a workspace, and then not being able to create what I had hoped and having to put everything away again was daunting.
Even though I enjoy using physical media, it was intimidating to try painting or to use a different medium besides pencil and paper. Drawing digitally has always seemed like an unattainable skill to me, but when I was looking for ways to pass the time during the coronavirus lockdown, I gave Apple's Procreate app a chance.
