If you like carrying around your sketchbook just do the same with an iPad.ĭon't erase sketches, just leave it as it is. Try to think why you like so much your current way of working and try to replicate that on the iPad to see if it's possible - if you like to be messy just do the same on iPad. I tried it and it worked:) Now I can move forward and explore more things that are different or was hard to achieve with my previous style. Why? Because it fits my style of working as an illustrator :) I was VERY sceptic at the beginning but I started first with this idea in mind: how can I replicate my current way of working on iPad so I don't feel I have to use just because I have it. Before I was drawing and making finished illustrations only on paper now I work only on the iPad. Don't force yourself to use it just because it supposed to help you work better / faster or whatever.Īs for the illustration side, I just recently switched to an iPad with Apple Pencil. If it won't work, then come back to your previous way of working.

I believe you could ask yourself why you would like to use an iPad? Why you would like to make that change? If you believe it's going to improve your work somehow just try it for a month or so. The first one doesn't use an iPad at all for any design work (pen and paper mostly).

I'm looking at this from two perspectives: UX designer and illustrator.
