    I got some ‘softer’ tips from eBay after watching a teoh tech video who’d bought some on aliexpress. Mine didn’t specify 2B or HB but they do feel a tiny bit more rubbery than a standard Apple Pencil tip. I wasn’t sure at first but they are slightly different, and has a nice feel when using them. I don’t use a screen protector and I like that slight extra grip.

    Your video was helpful. iirc, HB is the middle hardness pencil; like the standard #2 pencil. Then as you go up in numbers (2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H - 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B) the graphite either gets harder or softer. 6H is like drawing with a nail, and 6B can get very dark, but at a cost of wearing down fast. Which drawing app are you using?

    Chris do you have any issues with Fresco or Procreate stuttering while drawing? Meaning like you are drawing a line and it randomly starts putting dots instead of the line, or just shoots a line across your screen?? Fresco is really bad for doing this on me, but also does it some in procreate. Mine has been doing this for a while. I just bought some Apple Pencil tips because I had some generic ones I was using and thought maybe that might be the issue. I’m interested to see if anyone else is having issues like this. I don’t know if it’s my iPad screen or the pencil going bad.

    I have had that issue in the past when I’m over due for changing out my pencil tip. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the generic tips have issues from manufacturing imperfections. Over the years I’ve had a couple pencils fail but never my screen. My wife has been drawing on the same iPad Pro since 2018 and it’s never had an issue. I’ve actually never seen anyone have a screen fail in that way. I’d rule out tips first and then the pencil next.

I just put a new one on and it seems like it’s working fine so far, hopefully that fixes my issues!! Thanks for responding so quick btw! Love the channel, I’ve learned so much about Fresco watching you. I used to use Procreate for my tattoo designs, but switched to Fresco because the vector scaling and such clean lines. Keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻

    I bought a selection of appleish tips after watching your video. Thanks for the great video! I love the ones with the black rubbery tips for cleaning up drawings in AI. I can easily hit move and rearrange points in AI. But in fresco the same rubbery tips give me wobbly strokes😢. With my shaky hands The time saved in illustrator is worth switching for me.

    Magnetic paper feel is the way to go and io hate the real paper like to be honest. Also the orig apple nibs are the best and no 3rd party can come close... that said, i do think you should try the silicone sleeve that goes over the nib with a fiber tip and they are pretty new and dirt cheap but its the best experience i have found in combination with the magnetic paper like.

    When I started talking about iPad screen protectors I got a ton of questions and comments about the pencil tips wearing down quickly. Some people go through them very quickly. I can go through several in a month if I’m busy. Most of these alternatives feel the same and are less than a third of the price. Also you can get them the same or the next day in some cases.
