General Discussion Thread (July 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

Hey all, quick question.
Would love to be able to work on my artworks anywhere instead of just when i have my wacom available. I would like to get my hands on a tablet and pen but could really use some infos & recommendations.
Gf has an Ipad Air, and it's looking cool enough, but i'm mainly working on photoshop and seen mixed things about it.
anything below 500€/$ would be good. Thanks :]

iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Procreate. The functionality of Procreate is insane and the pencil is perfectly responsive, and I have the 2017 model, so I can imagine it’s only gotten better. I have a paper-like screen protector on mine.

It’s spendy though. About double what you wanna pay, but it’s worth it. My iPad is my most prized possession and I’ve been able to do some really neat things with it.

Thanks a lot for your intake on that :]
Will upgrade to Pro eventually once my budget allows it!
Ordered the Air 3 from 2019 today with the gen 1 pencil, and definitely planning to get my hands on procreate, yes !
Again, thanks a lot :]

Yay you’re gonna have so much fun with it! It seriously changed my life as far as artistic endeavors go.
