Precision can be difficult: this is somewhat mitigated by zooming in on your artwork, but even after several weeks, I don't think I am replacing my traditional pencil work after all. 3mm mechanical pencil, the smallest implement I can find, with larger areas done with a 2mm pencil. I typically carry my traditional mechanical pencils for sketching in a toothbrush holder because of the compact size, so I appreciate the design of the case. Many of the apps supporting the Stylus have palm rejection as well so you don't have to worry about resting your hand on the iPad while you draw.Ĭase: The Intuos Creative Stylus comes with a nice sleek black case that holds extra nibs (2 extra included), the pen and a spot for the AAAA battery. Pencil and watercolour in ArtRage feel lyrical instead of kludgy, intuitive instead of like drawing with mittens on. I have an older Intuos 3 graphic tablet for my home pc, and the iPad Stylus has double the sensitivity of that old workhorse, coming in at 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity.

Key Features: The pressure sensitivity itself is incredible.

As of this writing, at least one of these features is supported by: ArtRage, Procreate, Sketch Club, Sketchbook Pro, Sketchbook Ink, Sketchbook Express, ArtStudio, Inkist, IbisPaint X, Zen Brush, MyScript Notes Mobile, Inspire Pro and Wacom's own Bamboo Paper app, with more apps on the way. There are three main features that apps can support: pressure sensitivity, palm rejection and settings. Wacom is the industry king of pressure sensitive inputs for digital media and digital painting, so they are in a good place to shake up the app world. Support: An increasing amount of apps are opting into being compatible with this pen.

Interestingly, the Mac Store in the Eaton Centre here in Toronto let me know they don't sell styluses of any kind: it was part of Steve Jobs' vision that people engage with content with their finger to make it more personal. Pressing harder with a brush puts more of the paint-loaded bristles in contact with the paper or canvas, leading to thicker lines. By rapidly shading with a pencil, for example, pressing harder leads to making darker marks. This allows for huge variation in shadows, shading, layering colour and detail in general. When using almost any traditional artistic tool, from a pencil to a watercolor brush loaded with paint, you can vary your line width in a single stroke. It's not perfect, but far, far better than your finger. TL DR: If you are an artist or illustrator using an iPad for image, get this tool.

What I used: The Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus for iPad iPad 4 running ios7 ArtRage for iPad painting app. Special thanks and shout-out to Kristin and Holly (the person behind the Twitter) at Vistek here in Toronto for their amazing customer service. Price: I paid about $135.00 Canadian, retails for $99.95 from the Wacom store which weirdly, does not ship to Canada. What it does: this stylus allows for pressure sensitivity when using painting apps on the iPad.
