I bought a 12.9 inch iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil and I was coloring in public. Some people looked at me, but they just thought that it was cool. I don't really care if people look at me, I love the huge screen.
I have a question. When you’re drawing and your hand is on the tablet, does that mean that your hand causes lines in your art or does the tablet only react to the apple pencil?

+Felipe Costa Well, in the end I actually got a surface pro 4, because it was $250 off. If I had gone with an iPad pro it would have been the 9.7" though. As I don't think the larger model is worth what they after asking for it. At least not with my usage.
The 9.7 iPad will be best for me because I always bring round 4 drawling books and a lot of art supplies. This iPad could save money so you won't spend 1,000s of dollars on art supplies
This was a stellar review and it made me think of quality-of-life factors that had never crossed my mind like the devices' visibility in public. Keep up the great work!
When I bought the iPad pro I bought the smaller 9.7. The reason why I went with that verse the bigger brother was I was impressed with the 12mp camera with flash, and also like you said, it's a lot easier to carry around for digital art on the fly. I was the charging problem with the larger brother was having. When I got it, I also didn't think I would be using it to do the majority of my graphics basically making my cintiq companion 2, and surface pro 3 become barely used paper weights. My only complaint of the smaller version is the fact that it only comes with the 2 gb of ram, but I have learned to collapse layers and merge lagers that wasn't no longer needed. I do most of my work in portrait mode which actually gives me more drawing room then that of my other two devices when drawing landscape because of all the tool buttons. I was thinking about eventually getting the bigger brother when the second generation finally does comes out, but after watching your video, I agree that it probably won't get used as much. Since I pretty much will only use it for graphics I probably don't need anything over 32gb. Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for this review. Really, really, *REALLY* helpful, as you're the only comment in almost a year of searching, that a artist/graphic designer having both --and is comfortable with the 9.7. Think I might get the 9.7, and then get the 12.9 if I do enough commissions to warrant a purchase. Thank you so much!😀👍
I tried to do this but found Procreate so much more limited than Photoshop. Not having a keyboard for keyboard shortcuts also makes everything feel so much slower.
Boricuahhh I got the 9.7, and let me just say, I still was a little hesitant and thinking "too small too small" but once you play around with the pencil... it's perfect! not cramped at all.
Wow your video is AMAZING. I finally know which iPad Pro I want. Going for the iPad Pro 12.9 that comes out next year because I don't think I would like to take the smaller one with me anyways. I was undecided due to its size but seeing it in so many situations thanks to your video I've finally made up my mind. Thank you!
+Taviquenson Glad to hear it! I don't know when Apple plans to update the 12.9" iPad Pro but even if you get one now you'll be getting a top of the line product :)
Hello! I just discovered you this evening. Your combination of expertise, humor, and enthusiasm is unmatched on RUclips. I have subscribed, and look forward to watching many more of your videos.. It is readily apparent to me that you will save me some money, as your reviews seem to be unbiased and highly informative. Thanks so much!
I'm really hung up. I don't know which one to get or if I should even get either of these since people have been speculating an update to these in March 2017, which is like two and a half months from now. But then I'm afraid Apple will get rid of the 3.5mm jack on the new one. If they do get rid of it, I don't want the thing. If they don't, then I'm afraid I'll get the old version and then the new one will come out and I'll want that one. Ugh so many choices lol
The new ones are probably going to be worth waiting for especially if Apple creates a 10.5" model with no bezel. But if you really can't wait then the current model is still going to be up to date and powerful for at least a couple more years I think :)
NihongoGamer do u think that the smaller bezels will affect the drawing experience? for some reasons I prefer larger bezels for tablets like ipad. more surface to grip and hold.
Lmao headphone jacks are not dead. Wireless headphones are ridiculously expensive and are have awful sound quality, not to mention the lag and connection issues that wireless introduces. The iPhone 7 shot itself in the foot by removing it but Apple won't ever admit they did something wrong.
I actually got the 9.7" model and it's absolutely fine for drawing. I did a skull study that turned out very nice over the span of two hours and never thought I needed a bigger space. My drawing tablet required me to zoom in and out so pretty constantly, so it wasn't a big deal to do it on the iPad. And I can actually use this smaller iPad comfortably in my hands. The bigger one would have been too clunky.
The thing about not bringing a 13" device with you is entirely subjective. I carry my 15" MacBook Pro pretty much everywhere with no problem. A 13" device wouldn't be an issue to me.
Alex K just buy a case for iPad that looks like a laptop, they’ve got keyboards and can rotate just like a 2-in-1 laptop can. Nobody would tell the difference just from a glance.
So unbelievably in-depth and rich. The notion of the bigger tablet getting attention is something that had never crossed my mind but it makes perfect sense. It's the same way people feel uncomfortable and even agitated if you have a DSLR with a large lens on it versus a small prime or even a mirrorless camera and a prime. You go from being invisible to being the the elephant in the room.
What you said about privacy makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't want people to read my emails and text messages. Honestly I don't know which one to get. I would like the 12.9" one because I am an amateur and I would like lots of practice. But I am a very private person. Honestly the only place I'd probably take it would be church and just draw at home.
Awesome review! I love how you not only addressed, but demonstrated the practical aspects like how it fits in your bag and how it is most comfortable to hold in different settings.
I got ipad pro 9.7 with an apple pencil and Notability to take notes for my engineering classes and i love it! i recommend it for any visual spatial learners! Not for everyone, but i have done so much better in class since purchasing this.
Thank you so much for bringing up the issue of privacy. I have been debating with myself for so long as to which size to get, and I'm a very nervous artist when sketching with an audience staring at my work so your video helped me make up my mind.
Great Review! i've ordererd my 9.7 yesterday, it will be shipped next week, can't wait for this beauty! and also, could you upload more attack on titan gameplay? :D
Thank you so much!! This review is really2 helpfull for me, because as far as i see in other videos, they only review it in general, but u reviewed it for what an artist would need. I personally think that 12.9 is better for practice, but i do agree with u in terms of not wanting people to see my drawing progress as i am quite shy & not really confident with my drawing 😅 But if i have to choose, i think i will still buy 12.9 since i'm not the type to draw on public 😁 Anyway, thanks for the video!
I've had an ipad 3 for almost four years now and I currently draw and sketch on it a lot with my Wacom intuos creative stylus (which is quickly becoming abandonware since the release of the apple pencil). I also already have a Bosto cintiq alternative at home, so I think the 9.7 would be the better deal for me overall. This was a really nice review dude; thanks!
So true about other people staring, sooo distracting especially when you're only learning how to sketch. I did go for the larger one though and so I'm super happy with it:) I was actually quite skeptical about this whole digital drawing thing, but the pencil makes it so good experience, so you won't regret the purchase eventhough the price obviously does bite quite a bit.
I own an iPad pro 12.7 and an iPad Air 2. I only use the larger one for drawing and watching movies (I also am a happy apple pencil owner). I love the sound reproduction on the 12.7, and the image is on a perfect size to enjoy movies. The smaller iPad I use for web browsing , photo retouching, facebook, email and doing general work. I love both devices!!! I only wish I could *really* know how to draw and not only doodling :( Thanks for your video.
Ignacio Curiel Whew, glad I didn't. Also, I have the iPad Air 2, I'm waiting for the second edition iPad Pro 12.9" because they might make it 3D Touch and water resistant so same as the iPhone 7/7 Plus, I also want it because they may have the same camera as the iPhone 7/7 Plus and since I use my iPad Air 2 to record my RUclips videos the Pro will have a better camera and may be better for editing with the Apple Pencil and with that I wouldn't have to get a laptop or MacBook for my video editings.
I used to carry a 15 " laptop around so a 12.9 iPad isn't too big at all for me. Now if I'm on motorcycle I just carry my mini. As soon as I get my iPad 12.9 I plan on carrying it everywhere except on my motorcycle . But that's just my opinion . I like everything big. I've done plenty of murals for art. I can't draw on tiny 9.7 . The 12.9 will barely be big enough,but I'd buy a 15" if they made it.
Course I'll get an Otterbox for any ipad I get. So that will make it as thick as a 13" laptop. But I won't carry that big window pane of glass without ample protection. Otterbox has saved my phone many times bouncing off the concrete floor at work. I just bring my Ipad mini 1st get to work to watch videos on lunch break.
I understand that many won't carry the big ipad around but I will carry it many places. I love the idea of the computer sized screen but the simplicity of use of an ipad
Great video! I've got the 12.9". I so agree about the comfort in cozy positions, like deep couches or in bed, it rests nicely on legs or chest while still tall enough to have a decent amount of canvas to draw on.
Thanks for the vid. Very useful, real world review of the two devices. I'm trying to decide between the 12.9 or the 9.7 for taking notes in lectures. I tried both in the Apple store and the larger screen real estate on the big iPad is very handy. It also feels more like writing on a real A4 pad of paper, in terms of physical size and how you interact with the media. But that was in a shop and not in a lecture hall or classroom. I'm not sure if lugging this big iPad around is going to be a pain in the ass, and also turning the small iPad horizontally is the same as writing across the top of a sheet of A4. If the note taking app allows me to scroll easily up and down the page, then that's probably all I need. Split screen for multitasking is going to be easier on the big iPad, but again it all comes down to how practical it is to carry this thing around. If I have to work in a lab or do practicals, it may be better to have a smaller iPad on the bench. An iPad and a bottle of acid probably aren't going to mix very well together! I tried both with the apple smart keyboard, which I'm not a huge fan of (I think the Logitech Create looks a better option), but the larger keyboard with the 12.9" was much easier to type on. But I guess you get used to the small one eventually. One thing I noticed about your video which noone els has mentioned is that cotton mitt you are wearing. As soon as I started wrtitng on the ipad I knew there were two problems I was going to have to deal with when using the pencil. One - the screen gets hot. This may be because the Apple Store iPads are on all day, every day and just get hot through constant use. Two - my palm sticking to the screen. This doesn't happen so much with paper because the paper absorbs the sweat from your hands without you noticing it. But on a glass screen I found my hand sticking to the surface and this made writing fast a bit awkward. Your mitt idea could be the solution. You should sell the idea to Apple, call it the iMitt and retire!
I bought the 9.7 in the end. For transportation its much smaller and much lighter. I would only get the 12.7 if you will use it more at home. The battery lasts a long time (though ipads do take forever to charge) and the pencil charges very fast. I didn't get a keyboard yet because i didn't see one I really like and I use the pencil more. I just got the apple silicon rear protector and the regular magnetic front cover. One useful trick with this cover - because the border is magnetic to clip onto the iPad it can also attract the pencil lightly so it doesn't roll about. It's not strong enough to hold it strongly but it helps. As far as apps go, I tried OneNote, Goodnotes, Notability, PDF Expert and Penultimate. They all have pros and cons. I found Notability was faster to manipulate when actually writing with the pencil and it has a continuous vertical scroll which autodivides into pages. In lectures I usually have the teachers PPT or PDF presentation inside the iPad and then with Notability and the pencil I either write extra notes on top or in blank pages I add in as the lesson goes on. It works pretty well. When I have time (never) I will go back through the handwritten stuff and tidy it up into a new doc. Maybe typing the hadwritten stuff. Goodnotes has a lasso-screenshot feature which is very handy for clipping images to insert into other docs. It also has handwriting recognition but I didnt use it. OneNote is very well laid out but saving docs is a pain (you have to mail yourself a pdf) and it has an infinite canvas which makes saving to standard sizes tricky, Penultimate has lots of different papers but it's more for jotting fast notes, though you can export its paper styles to other apps. PDF Expert is good for annotating and editing PDFs... in the end I'll probably use Notability as the base app and use the others as and when needed or until one is updated with a radical improvement. I probably would have gone with OneNote had it not been for the inability to save files and the infinite workspace thing. The tools and filing structure etc are excellent, the integration with other MS apps is very good (and I say that as a Mac user). Maybe they will add new features soon. A few little tweaks and it would be a killer app. You'll also need a cloud or wifi drive like GoogleDrive to accompany the app. Saving and managing files on an iPad is a real pain in the ass. I use Documents to help. Its a file storage app which works quite well, but you still need the cloud storage (or email) to get external files into it in the first place.
Violet58, But you HAVE one rather TWO (I think?), be happy for that. Most people around the world don't have any. Just saying because I too have no money to buy these but thankfully I get hand me down's from my brother. First they goto my mom, then I get her old ones. It works and even though I would like others I am sooooooooooo grateful to have any. Hope that helps you be happier with~!
Exactly the video i was looking for! Im sold on the 12inch pro!! I was glued to it at the apple store! I noticed my hand was relaxed and freed drawing on procreate whereas on my samsung horrible tablet my wrist feels stiff & restricted in freed movement because of the lack of large screen space! IM GOING TO GET THE 12 INCH PRO 😍❤️🔥
Absolutely! I found my favorite RUclipsr hands down! Thanks man for the videos, I've never subscribed to anything on RUclips this will be my first, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the 12.9 inch better. I mean people looking over my shoulder & watching me sketch is not a big deal really. My life isn't so secretive where I have to be so decreet. If anything I like when people check out my process, it's like I'm giving a show hehe. Cause then they go Owwww ahhhhhh 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for your incredibly descriptive review! It helped me finalize my decision on getting the 9.7 in since I'll be bringing it out of the house a lot. Also, I didn't realize the video was 13 min long. It was so soothing to watch you draw lol :)
The iPad Pro 12.9" does support fast charging and fast sync with USB 3 speeds. You just need to buy the larger charger and USB-C to Lightning cable ^_^. It's great!
I'm in the same boat. I own a Cintiq as well but need something on the go. While the 12.9 looks awesome, it looks like it could be a hassle when you are out and about. Plus I have a feeling while the 12.9 is made to be portable, the made the 9.7 as the ideal machine for portability since it does have the superior camera in it.
I have the iPad Pro 9.7. I got it because I really wanted rose gold and the bigger one doesn't come in rose gold. Also I like the screen better because the colors on the screen adjust to match with the colors in the room which make it way easier on my eyes and seem to reduce blue light. The camera's better, the same camera that the iPhone 6s has, and has a really good flash on it. Also before this I had the iPad mini so a 9.7 inch tablet actually seems pretty big to me. Another main reason why I got it is because you can get a 128gb 9.7 inch iPad Pro for the same price as the 32gb iPad Pro. Honestly I really don't think 32gb is enough memory to have on a tablet. I don't even think I could live with a phone that has only 32gb.
ParsimoniousTV I might get the 12.9 I like the bigger display and the camera is not a big deal because I have a 7 plus which is a lot better than what's on it.
I've been wanting to get one and your review really helped me a lot! I just wanted a portable device that's easy to be carried around everywhere. So thank you!!
Bacon Doodles yay, Same uwu I think the little lag everybody goes crazy about for some reason isn’t really noticeable (atleast on video) and why spend 1000$ for a new iPad Pro 3rd gen when the first one has 12.9 inches for less money because you can buy it refurbished in a good condition and it’s able to do absolutely the same with an amount of lag for which you need to have your eyes slowing down the stuff you see for some kind of reason but if it is like that I’d rather consult a doctor instead of picking up the newest iPad which is going to be ‘old’ in a year again, technology is just improving way too fast and in my opinion there is no need to buy a newer one
Tazo 714 It's basically an artist glove. You wear this so the iPad won't read that your hand is on the screen so you can draw more naturally(as if in paper).
iJake Jobs Yes I know, but still makes your hand feel more natural in my opinion. It makes it not "stick" to your ipad screen?? I don't know if it's the right word. Sorry.. I'm not a native English speaker.
Tazo 714 it helps your hand to slide more smoothly on the screen, your hands tend to get stuck on the screen a little, especially when your hands are sweaty/wet etc.
I own a Cintiq 13hd and want to pick up a pro for the portability. I think this video convinced me to get the 9.7 for the portability factor alone. If I didn't already own a Cintiq I would probably buy the bigger pro.
Thank you so much. This helped a lot. I've been looking for a good comparison video explaining which one is better based on an individual's style/preference. Now I know which one I'm getting! ^^

I have a question. When you’re drawing and your hand is on the tablet, does that mean that your hand causes lines in your art or does the tablet only react to the apple pencil?

So unbelievably in-depth and rich. The notion of the bigger tablet getting attention is something that had never crossed my mind but it makes perfect sense.
It's the same way people feel uncomfortable and even agitated if you have a DSLR with a large lens on it versus a small prime or even a mirrorless camera and a prime. You go from being invisible to being the the elephant in the room.

I got ipad pro 9.7 with an apple pencil and Notability to take notes for my engineering classes and i love it! i recommend it for any visual spatial learners! Not for everyone, but i have done so much better in class since purchasing this.
This is the best review I have found
Brilliant review! I went for the 9.7 for the same reasons. I do not regret it. LOVE your drawing style too! Thanks.
I wish Apple would release a 11.5 inch iPad Pro.
+yo yo honey singh I think it's unlikely but 12" is indeed a very convenient size. Perhaps they don't want it competing with the new MacBook ;)
No 12.9 is perfect.
yo yo honey singh i think you mean 100.10 inch iPad :>
There is a 10.7 or something now
There's an 11 inch now!!
Thank you so much for bringing up the issue of privacy. I have been debating with myself for so long as to which size to get, and I'm a very nervous artist when sketching with an audience staring at my work so your video helped me make up my mind.
Great Review! i've ordererd my 9.7 yesterday, it will be shipped next week, can't wait for this beauty! and also, could you upload more attack on titan gameplay? :D
+ardi du been very short of time recently but I'd like to upload more attack on Titan gameplay when I get the chance :)
I have the 9.7 iPad Pro and I love it
Thank you so much!! This review is really2 helpfull for me, because as far as i see in other videos, they only review it in general, but u reviewed it for what an artist would need.
I personally think that 12.9 is better for practice, but i do agree with u in terms of not wanting people to see my drawing progress as i am quite shy & not really confident with my drawing 😅
But if i have to choose, i think i will still buy 12.9 since i'm not the type to draw on public 😁
Anyway, thanks for the video!
incredible review! The screen size and practicality comparison was spot on, great points!
Your drawing skills are amazing!
I appreciate the portability comments made. Has helped in my decision making. Thank you!!
I've had an ipad 3 for almost four years now and I currently draw and sketch on it a lot with my Wacom intuos creative stylus (which is quickly becoming abandonware since the release of the apple pencil). I also already have a Bosto cintiq alternative at home, so I think the 9.7 would be the better deal for me overall. This was a really nice review dude; thanks!
So true about other people staring, sooo distracting especially when you're only learning how to sketch. I did go for the larger one though and so I'm super happy with it:) I was actually quite skeptical about this whole digital drawing thing, but the pencil makes it so good experience, so you won't regret the purchase eventhough the price obviously does bite quite a bit.
I own an iPad pro 12.7 and an iPad Air 2. I only use the larger one for drawing and watching movies (I also am a happy apple pencil owner). I love the sound reproduction on the 12.7, and the image is on a perfect size to enjoy movies. The smaller iPad I use for web browsing , photo retouching, facebook, email and doing general work. I love both devices!!! I only wish I could *really* know how to draw and not only doodling :(
Thanks for your video.
Great art starts as a doodle :)
I'll keep on doodling!!! Thanks
Ignacio Curiel Not to be rude but you do mean 12.9"?
Gamer Technology not rude, at all!!! My mistake, yep I meant 12.9
Ignacio Curiel Whew, glad I didn't. Also, I have the iPad Air 2, I'm waiting for the second edition iPad Pro 12.9" because they might make it 3D Touch and water resistant so same as the iPhone 7/7 Plus, I also want it because they may have the same camera as the iPhone 7/7 Plus and since I use my iPad Air 2 to record my RUclips videos the Pro will have a better camera and may be better for editing with the Apple Pencil and with that I wouldn't have to get a laptop or MacBook for my video editings.
This was definitely the most helpful and thorough comparison video I've seen! Thank you!
I used to carry a 15 " laptop around so a 12.9 iPad isn't too big at all for me. Now if I'm on motorcycle I just carry my mini. As soon as I get my iPad 12.9 I plan on carrying it everywhere except on my motorcycle . But that's just my opinion . I like everything big. I've done plenty of murals for art. I can't draw on tiny 9.7 . The 12.9 will barely be big enough,but I'd buy a 15" if they made it.
+aikidragonpiper71
A 15" iPad would be ginormous but yes, would be very luxurious to draw on!
Course I'll get an Otterbox for any ipad I get. So that will make it as thick as a 13" laptop. But I won't carry that big window pane of glass without ample protection. Otterbox has saved my phone many times bouncing off the concrete floor at work. I just bring my Ipad mini 1st get to work to watch videos on lunch break.
I understand that many won't carry the big ipad around but I will carry it many places. I love the idea of the computer sized screen but the simplicity of use of an ipad

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEU!! I’ve been looking for a new device and now the iPad Pro is option #1
nice drawing man...i like drawing anime to... XD
on my computer..but I use a mouse when drawing...so difficult to draw..haha
Ikr lol😂😂

Great video! I've got the 12.9". I so agree about the comfort in cozy positions, like deep couches or in bed, it rests nicely on legs or chest while still tall enough to have a decent amount of canvas to draw on.
Thanks for the vid. Very useful, real world review of the two devices. I'm trying to decide between the 12.9 or the 9.7 for taking notes in lectures. I tried both in the Apple store and the larger screen real estate on the big iPad is very handy. It also feels more like writing on a real A4 pad of paper, in terms of physical size and how you interact with the media.
But that was in a shop and not in a lecture hall or classroom. I'm not sure if lugging this big iPad around is going to be a pain in the ass, and also turning the small iPad horizontally is the same as writing across the top of a sheet of A4. If the note taking app allows me to scroll easily up and down the page, then that's probably all I need. Split screen for multitasking is going to be easier on the big iPad, but again it all comes down to how practical it is to carry this thing around. If I have to work in a lab or do practicals, it may be better to have a smaller iPad on the bench. An iPad and a bottle of acid probably aren't going to mix very well together!
I tried both with the apple smart keyboard, which I'm not a huge fan of (I think the Logitech Create looks a better option), but the larger keyboard with the 12.9" was much easier to type on. But I guess you get used to the small one eventually.
One thing I noticed about your video which noone els has mentioned is that cotton mitt you are wearing. As soon as I started wrtitng on the ipad I knew there were two problems I was going to have to deal with when using the pencil. One - the screen gets hot. This may be because the Apple Store iPads are on all day, every day and just get hot through constant use. Two - my palm sticking to the screen. This doesn't happen so much with paper because the paper absorbs the sweat from your hands without you noticing it. But on a glass screen I found my hand sticking to the surface and this made writing fast a bit awkward. Your mitt idea could be the solution. You should sell the idea to Apple, call it the iMitt and retire!
I bought the 9.7 in the end. For transportation its much smaller and much lighter. I would only get the 12.7 if you will use it more at home. The battery lasts a long time (though ipads do take forever to charge) and the pencil charges very fast. I didn't get a keyboard yet because i didn't see one I really like and I use the pencil more. I just got the apple silicon rear protector and the regular magnetic front cover. One useful trick with this cover - because the border is magnetic to clip onto the iPad it can also attract the pencil lightly so it doesn't roll about. It's not strong enough to hold it strongly but it helps.
As far as apps go, I tried OneNote, Goodnotes, Notability, PDF Expert and Penultimate. They all have pros and cons. I found Notability was faster to manipulate when actually writing with the pencil and it has a continuous vertical scroll which autodivides into pages. In lectures I usually have the teachers PPT or PDF presentation inside the iPad and then with Notability and the pencil I either write extra notes on top or in blank pages I add in as the lesson goes on. It works pretty well. When I have time (never) I will go back through the handwritten stuff and tidy it up into a new doc. Maybe typing the hadwritten stuff.
Goodnotes has a lasso-screenshot feature which is very handy for clipping images to insert into other docs. It also has handwriting recognition but I didnt use it. OneNote is very well laid out but saving docs is a pain (you have to mail yourself a pdf) and it has an infinite canvas which makes saving to standard sizes tricky, Penultimate has lots of different papers but it's more for jotting fast notes, though you can export its paper styles to other apps. PDF Expert is good for annotating and editing PDFs... in the end I'll probably use Notability as the base app and use the others as and when needed or until one is updated with a radical improvement. I probably would have gone with OneNote had it not been for the inability to save files and the infinite workspace thing. The tools and filing structure etc are excellent, the integration with other MS apps is very good (and I say that as a Mac user). Maybe they will add new features soon. A few little tweaks and it would be a killer app.
You'll also need a cloud or wifi drive like GoogleDrive to accompany the app. Saving and managing files on an iPad is a real pain in the ass. I use Documents to help. Its a file storage app which works quite well, but you still need the cloud storage (or email) to get external files into it in the first place.
Great job ... I came to this video for the comparison between iPads, but my attention was focused on your drawing through the whole time.
Very detailed and well filmed video.
Love your videos!! Just got the iPad Pro 9.7 and am now getting into drawing, kinda wish I saw this review first...i do love my pencil though! 😊
I love the way you draw,and I like IPad pro 12.9.
+Terrix Zero it's such a luxurious tablet :)
This was great. I love your drawing videos. I have a 9.7 and love it!
i am new to your channel there is some really cool stuff here :)
My my... You are quite an excellent Mangaka!! Love your drawings! Enjoyed your real life showcase. Thanks!
Who else has an iPad Pro 9.7
I will in approx 6 days :3
Lego friends I ENVY YOU!!! I want one so badly 😞
I got one last weekend! I adore it!! My last iPad was the first gen Mini
i only have a stupid ipad 1 from 2010
and this fucking tablet
i hate them all
but i cant buy ipad pro i dont have money😊💔
Violet58, But you HAVE one rather TWO (I think?), be happy for that. Most people around the world don't have any. Just saying because I too have no money to buy these but thankfully I get hand me down's from my brother. First they goto my mom, then I get her old ones. It works and even though I would like others I am sooooooooooo grateful to have any. Hope that helps you be happier with~!
Exactly the video i was looking for! Im sold on the 12inch pro!! I was glued to it at the apple store! I noticed my hand was relaxed and freed drawing on procreate whereas on my samsung horrible tablet my wrist feels stiff & restricted in freed movement because of the lack of large screen space! IM GOING TO GET THE 12 INCH PRO 😍❤️🔥
Absolutely love your skills! New sub
Is anyone else still watching this in 2019 just because you enjoy his style of commentary?
Dude, will you ever make your drawings public? Your stuff is fantastic!
+Charizard215 I'm on various art sharing sites but recently the fastest way to see new sketches is to follow me on Instagram :)
The blue and yellow combo you have for your iPad is really nice!
+Phamzilla thanks!
I am watching with 9.7 pro
Alfred Huang dont care
@@ahmadhufiqi3651 wow salty
@@ahmadhufiqi3651 lol don't care bout your comment either
Absolutely! I found my favorite RUclipsr hands down! Thanks man for the videos, I've never subscribed to anything on RUclips this will be my first, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
+Mark Lawicki I'm very proud to be the first sub for you! Thanks for watching :)
I like the 12.9 inch better. I mean people looking over my shoulder & watching me sketch is not a big deal really. My life isn't so secretive where I have to be so decreet. If anything I like when people check out my process, it's like I'm giving a show hehe. Cause then they go Owwww ahhhhhh 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for your incredibly descriptive review! It helped me finalize my decision on getting the 9.7 in since I'll be bringing it out of the house a lot. Also, I didn't realize the video was 13 min long. It was so soothing to watch you draw lol :)
I hope Apple soon release iPad Pro 2 with USB 3.1 (new fast), NOT usb 2.0 (old slow).
The iPad Pro 12.9" does support fast charging and fast sync with USB 3 speeds. You just need to buy the larger charger and USB-C to Lightning cable ^_^. It's great!
Thanks! I'm a beginner and decided to go with the 12.9 after watching your video ;)
I think I'd prefer the 9.7 for drawing on the go, because I have a Wacom Cintiq for drawing at home.
Makes sense
I'm in the same boat. I own a Cintiq as well but need something on the go. While the 12.9 looks awesome, it looks like it could be a hassle when you are out and about. Plus I have a feeling while the 12.9 is made to be portable, the made the 9.7 as the ideal machine for portability since it does have the superior camera in it.
Mark Ukrainetz same
Can you save in vector format with the 9.7?

I have the iPad Pro 9.7. I got it because I really wanted rose gold and the bigger one doesn't come in rose gold. Also I like the screen better because the colors on the screen adjust to match with the colors in the room which make it way easier on my eyes and seem to reduce blue light. The camera's better, the same camera that the iPhone 6s has, and has a really good flash on it. Also before this I had the iPad mini so a 9.7 inch tablet actually seems pretty big to me. Another main reason why I got it is because you can get a 128gb 9.7 inch iPad Pro for the same price as the 32gb iPad Pro. Honestly I really don't think 32gb is enough memory to have on a tablet. I don't even think I could live with a phone that has only 32gb.
ParsimoniousTV I might get the 12.9 I like the bigger display and the camera is not a big deal because I have a 7 plus which is a lot better than what's on it.
I've been wanting to get one and your review really helped me a lot! I just wanted a portable device that's easy to be carried around everywhere. So thank you!!
U gave me the idea to get a glove and cut the thumb point and middle finger thx
Thank you for the comparison. I've been looking for this.
Thank you!
A stylish and informative video--thanks.
can we use softwares like Paint Tool SAI in ipad pros?
+Ms. Three
As far as I know paint tool SAI is still PC only. Procreate is still a great substitute
Owh... 😮 thanks😊
Thx, this review helped a lot. I've been needing a good drawing device and I couldn't decide on the size, you're a life saver!

Glad it was helpful!
I'm getting 12.9 ipad pro
Same
Debra Weatherly me 2 the new pro is way 2 much $$
Bacon Doodles yay, Same uwu
I think the little lag everybody goes crazy about for some reason isn’t really noticeable (atleast on video) and why spend 1000$ for a new iPad Pro 3rd gen when the first one has 12.9 inches for less money because you can buy it refurbished in a good condition and it’s able to do absolutely the same with an amount of lag for which you need to have your eyes slowing down the stuff you see for some kind of reason but if it is like that I’d rather consult a doctor instead of picking up the newest iPad which is going to be ‘old’ in a year again, technology is just improving way too fast and in my opinion there is no need to buy a newer one
lil babies yeah exactly! It's really not that noticeable, ppl are over exaggerating
Such a great comparison video. Really a dilemma. Thanks for your excellent video work.
i just came cuz i saw Judy in a tumbnail xD
MinekoxJP subscrib 2 me or else i'll delet ur minecraft account.
Awesome video looks like I am going to get the 9.7
am I the only broke one here who can barley afford a 9.7"??????????????
Been a viewer for quite some time, and I want to say you always produce awesome stuff!~
whats he wearing on his arm that prevents writing??
Tazo 714 It's basically an artist glove. You wear this so the iPad won't read that your hand is on the screen so you can draw more naturally(as if in paper).
지아 oh ok :)
지아 But the iPad Pro doesn't read your hand when you are using the Apple Pencil
iJake Jobs Yes I know, but still makes your hand feel more natural in my opinion. It makes it not "stick" to your ipad screen?? I don't know if it's the right word. Sorry.. I'm not a native English speaker.
Tazo 714 it helps your hand to slide more smoothly on the screen, your hands tend to get stuck on the screen a little, especially when your hands are sweaty/wet etc.
Really useful. Thank you. Have acquired a 9.7...
iPad Pro 12.9
Absolutely love your art and thanks for all your help,loved all your advice,thank you
I love my 12.9 pro
This has to be the more solid review i had seen from a point of view of an artist, solid works you have.
I hate surface computer

Very helpful and informative. Thank you for doing this video.
this actually helped quite a lot! 👍😱 Im saving up for an Ipad pro and this video has made me even more exited.
Just want to say thanks for such an informative video from an artist who actually really used both iPads. Decided to get a 10.5 inch one tomorrow :)
12.9 rocks and it's AWSOME+AMAZING COMBINED
I wish to have the last version of iPad pro 9.7. That's absolutely awesome on both design and software.
I own a Cintiq 13hd and want to pick up a pro for the portability. I think this video convinced me to get the 9.7 for the portability factor alone. If I didn't already own a Cintiq I would probably buy the bigger pro.
love your video, I have question do you prefer the iPad Pro’s with “white” frame?
Thanks for the useful review. Just wondering if the performance of Apple Pencil on 3rd party software have improved since your review?
Thank you so much. This helped a lot. I've been looking for a good comparison video explaining which one is better based on an individual's style/preference. Now I know which one I'm getting! ^^
