    Hi,

    I bought my girlfriend an iPad (not the pro unfortunately) for her birthday and she likes drawing. I know apple sell the iPad pencil but is there a specific one that would be better for drawing with? Looking at the designs there seems to be loads available and some of the non apple ones actually look more advanced :confused:

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    The Apple pencil won't work with a non-Pro model anyway, so that's that.

    I am curious what people recommend. I have researched it myself, but not for drawing, more for writing notes and highlighting text etc for college. I got this one and it's grand but it's not pressure sensitive, which presumably she'd want for shading etc.

    Have alook for "artist stylus" on youtube, you'll get lots of artists sharing what they use there.

    Spotted this on Android Police the other day. It's a Wacom Stylus with a really small tip that works on capacitive touchscreens.

    Although I'm referencing an Android site, if you follow the link on AP to the Wacom compatibility list for Bamboo Tip, you will see that it is listed as being compatible with nearly all the Apple devices other than first gen 12.9" iPad Pro and iPhone X.

    Here's the AP link

    and the compatibility list at Wacom is at
