I am exploring the idea of putting my name in the hat for professional concept artist. I came across your channel and man...you have really inspired me!!! I know I have a up hill battle to enter this realm potentially as a career, but I have loved drawing ever sense I can remember. That’s what it’s all about right. You have sparked a fire in me, and I can not wait to put digital pen to iPad. Thank you again bro! You are awesome!

    One more fast tip. When I do my linework I will select the white background then inverse button and 1 flat color in a new layer. Now you have a flat shape. why this is Handy? Because u can go back into that color shape layer and just click select and now will be a perfect selection on ur character. 1.- add a new layer and u will be comfortable that u won't do anything out of ur character. Helps when is more than one character in the canvas. And for shading and values. I also isolate the shirt, eyes or elements in specific clothes in a separate layer so anytime, I can comeback and change colors or add details in single shapes faster.

    1.-Hold on the check mark and isolate tht specific layer. 2.-swipe left on the layer and u can clear/duplicate or delete. 3.-make a shape square circle or oval and hold the pencil and it will make perfect shapes/ even better u can edit the shape. 4.- Make a half circle or curve and hole and it will make perfect parabolic lines for those dragon tails or rounded corners. 5.- you can adjust the pencil pressure for those hard drawing or sof drawing hands 6.- Swipe the layers to the right to select the layers you need and u can group them or merge them. ( Merge cannot be separated in single layers again). Trent love your work and look up to you has an artist. Thanks for what you do.

Maybe have some social media upload functionality but other than that 100% for art. Because I want this but it isn't worth the cost of the iPad.

Unless your already paying for cc, there's no point in using fresco. The price just doesn't make sense for the minimal differences between fresco and procreate or at studio pro.

    The gen 2 Apple Pencil will work with current (and future) I pad pro models but the non pro iPad will still work with the gen 1 Apple Pencil (for maybe the next 2 maybe 3 years). Apple is really slow when it comes to replacing iPad stuff (the iPad Pro 11In and 12.9 in took 3 years to come out) and rn they aren’t even full replacements. I personally bought an iPad Pro because I knew I wouldn’t need to buy another iPad for at least 4ish years.

The pencil does only work with this ipad, but I haven't had any trouble with either of them so far, and I got it on launch. I can't really compare it to any problems or inconsistancies with any other apple products though, because this is my only apple product.
