We have 5 iPad drawing tips ✨

= Making a switch from drawing with a pencil and paper to an iPad is a big one. So, where do you start? With the right tools and some practice, you can easily mimic an analog sketchbook on a digital device. Here, we’ll discuss iPad drawing tips to help you make the most out of your tablet and enjoy hours of sketching. ​ TIP #1: Your Tools Matter The [iPad]() is an expensive gadget, so it might be tempting to try and save money on its accessories. And while that might be okay for a case, don’t skimp on the drawing tools. If you’re serious about drawing, you’ll want to get an [Apple Pencil](). It’s the industry standard for digital drawing on a tablet, and it’s an amazing tool that has pressure sensitivity (meaning the harder you press, the thicker your line) among other features. ​ Finding the right app is also important when drawing on the iPad. Some of the most popular apps are [Procreate](, which has a one-time fee, and [Adobe Illustrator](, which is part of a monthly fee for the Adobe Creative Suite. If you don't want to commit to a paid app quite yet, [Linea Sketch](=) is free (with in-app purchases) and considered great for beginners as it doesn’t have as many advanced features as the other apps. This makes it easier to learn to sketch on the iPad. TIP #2: You Don't Have to Reinvent the Wheel (Yet). It’s easy to feel overwhelmed with all of the features and tools available in a drawing app. Don’t feel like you have to suddenly change your drawing style now that you’re working on an iPad. The beauty of these apps is that they allow you to mimic an analog style with the ease that digital tools bring.
