ipad doesn’t have wacom technology witch means palm rejection, pressure sensitivity and ballpoint precision. samsung galaxy note 10.1, samsung ativ smart pc, asus vivo smart pc and sony vaio do have this.

Hi, I am writing my mesage from the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Wife has ipad. I am using sketchbook pro, adobe ideas and s note. I am not using paper anymore. S pen is very responsive and sensitive. I heard that now came Asus vivo and samsung ativ, sony also has a smart pc with the pen so.. its up to you. all of these devices have wacom pen technology unlike ipad. ipad is super cool but not a first choice for us designers. I particularly like note 10.1 because its so small and doesn’t mix pc functions so i am having it on meetings but then have power pc for solidworks and rhino.

Hi Spencer. With regards to the stylus what do you think about the one that Samsung galaxy note 10.1 has? Any of you tried to test it out whit sketchbook pro? I want to buy one for myself but i am still not sure of its performance with the app. Thanks

Thanks for the heads up Spencer! I bought one for my iPad based on your review, and I also let V23 know that I heard about it through your post here. Mine is scheduled for delivery today…can’s wait to try it.
Thanks again!

I think drawing on the iPad is really like drawing in any other medium; it has its assets and its limitations, but if you stick with it you can learn how to work with them to do really impressive stuff. Leopartnik comes to mind (http://art.leopartnik.com/). It helps to have the right app, as well; Procreate is my favorite, but there are quite a few with different features that I like. The pressure sensitivity is an issue that has been addressed with a variety of solutions. For me, I achieve the same effect by using opacity levels, line thickness, and blending at small detail levels. I’m not saying the iPad should replace an actual drawing tablet, but for working on the go, especially since you can save in a transportable format, it’s come a very long way.

I’m crazy about being able to sketch on the go and have forced myself to try to sketch on the iPad. There’s just nothing like having a full marker box and endless (almost) pad of “paper” at your disposal wherever you are. I agree I’m struggling with getting good results for more professional work, but I think it’s worth trying to force myself to learn to do master it.

Thanks for the review!
