Spent a lot of today watching a course I bought online for learning Procreate. It's a really good course but I then wanted to make something. So while watching, I sketched the next page of my neglected comic, Ghiroy, using some of the tools I now know how to use. All pencils are in Procreate, the rest of the comic is Affinity Designer as usual. No scanning. This is a good workflow and, again, the iPad is proving itself useful in ways I could not have foreseen.

I would swear that sketch was done in real pencil on paper. So you know - I also now have a new iPad, the new iPad not the iPad pro but I have the pencil as well and my preferred drawing app, Sketchbook pro is free so that's there now too. The iPad mini went berserk over the weekend - trying write and send emails on it's, deleting calendar events and inventing new ones... it was truly weird. But they gave me 140$ for the mini to go towards the new iPad so I'm really happy!

Ahh, here's that comment you mentioned that I didn't get notice of! Glad you got the new iPad! And Pencil! Dood, I cannot tell you how much I love Procreate. I just bought an online course for it and learned all about its masking, alpha lock and selection tools, never mind its perspective grid and assisted drawing for said grid. Also, I could go nuts on the extra brushes. The above 'pencil' sketch has every character and word balloon on separate layers, all having been resized and moved, just like I used to have to do in PS or AD depending. This time, I had very little of that in AD, I could do it all in Procreate. I bet you make that iPad sing!
