I drew a different dog every day for three months and shared them on social media. I did illustrated journaling and a graphic memoir. I was drawing so much more because the iPad was so convenient and fun to play with.Įventually, I made hundreds of drawings and paintings. I found that my iPad was improving my analog drawings too. I even illustrated most of my new book with this amazing tool. I did calligraphy, animation, collage, and photo manipulation. My iPad journey took me in lots of new creative directions.

Then I spent months reading books and articles, browsing inspiring illustrators and YouTube instructional videos, taking courses, and working through every feature and tool. I spent an awful lot of time trying out different apps until I focused on Procreate. I figured, worst case, I’d give up and just use it for Facebook and Netflix.
