I have been having a lot of fun trying out my new iPad. These are some of the first sketches I have created on it. I have been using the Sketchbook Pro app with the Pogo Sketch Stylus.

Now I’ve seen the drawings on a computer screen, I can see what you meant with that the iPad doesn’t deliver professional grade drawing. There is a crudeness about the drawings I like as an artist, but which clients might not approve of.
However, as a sketchpad for designing/roughing stuff (which the client will never see) I can see huge value, especially if you do that in spare minutes between tasks, for fun and relaxation.
It’s good for sketching, but the lack of texture doesn’t appeal to me.
Dani,
Nice work, I’ve been pondering getting something like this for sketching.
I currently have Sketchbook Pro on a tablet PC but have never caught onto using it much. I rely a lot on feeling the “drag” from the paper/surface so have not used my tablet pc much because the surface is so slick.
A few questions:
- Is the Ipad version of Sketchbook Pro any different feature-wise?
- How is the Pogo in terms of feeling drag across the screen and pressure sensitivity?
Thai – I don’t have much experience with the desktop version of SBP, so I can’t speak too much about the differences. However, I’d imagine it is a bit more lightweight on the iPad, and you won’t have things like pressure sensitivity, and the resolution will be limited to 1024×768. The iPad version does have: Several kinds of brushes with various controls/settings, layers, PSD export.
The Pogo tip is like a felt, so I guess there is some drag. No pressure sensitivity. The tip is round and blunt, so it’s not really like working with a pen.
Thanks Dani,
I actually modified the stylus from my tablet PC; bought some make-up brushes, cut and taped the felt tip to the end of it and now I can control my lines as if drawing on paper.
Not sure why I didn’t think of it sooner :D.
