And the variety of powerful apps that reminded me of Corel Painter were a dream for an artist like myself. Although, Photoshop has a lot of amazing features, I didn’t need all of those features as a digital artist. I was always interested in digital art-drawing and painting. And the responsiveness of the Apple Pencil was surprising and felt like merging traditional feeling with digital possibility. Digital works can be printed small or large. The iPad Pro has been the perfect solution for me. I also had started doing smaller works because I couldn’t do larger works without pain. As my pain levels increased, my fibromyalgia and effects on my body from cerebral palsy worsened, I began looking at alternative ways to continue to do my art and to do live art and exhibit. However, I also have multiple physical disabilities, and the days of lugging my easel and paint, water, paper towels or rags were getting numbered. I wanted it to be portable, like a magic sketchbook that had every tool I owned and one’s I didn’t, an entire studio at my disposal any and everywhere. I wanted a seamless experience between the screen and my hand. I never liked the disconnect between the Wacom tablet and the screen or feeling beholden to the hype and expense of Photoshop. Using Photoshop version 4 and Mac G4s, and later crude digital painting apps on various tablets as well as a low end Wacom. I had done digital art off and on since high school. This was the digital art platform I had been dreaming of. When the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil came on the scene, I immediately knew I had to have it.
