This was really helpful, I was going back and forth between the air 5 and 11’ipad pro. You rlly helped me out because I rlly need at least 256gb or more of storage, so at that point I’d just go for the pro with the m2 chip, which will be supported by ipad os longer

[@artsideoflife]

Glad I could help 😊 best wishes

[@lonestrawberry]

I had the same thoughts

[@leilazerrouki7040]

I just started considering buying an iPad like yesterday so this video is right on point! I like how you go into details and all. My eyes were on the air but I am someone needing a lot of storage (no videos but a lot of reference images, I can fill a 100 go in a few weeks 😅)) ... I also loved that you answered the question of "if an air with a bigger storage has a closer price to a pro why not directly take the pro" haha. I am going to consider the 11, I might need to save for longer than I planned but if I get something I am happy with it's worth. I wouldn't want to invest in an air only to realize it's not it. thank you for this video, it was very detailed and interesting. It answered a lot of questions and took a lot of things in consideration!

[@artsideoflife]

Hi Leïla! Super happy its helpful 😊. Yeah, I think it's worth it to get the right one for you even if it means waiting a little bit longer.

Thanks for that video! based on it, i bought the ipad air 2022 64gb and don't regret it, since i'm painting only in procreate and store the finished stuff elsewhere. pro: my bankaccount cries not that much & i've got it in a christmas sale this month. i drew in the past on a surface 128gb and did not manage it to fill all the diskspace with apps and data up. hope that helps for someone who is short on a budget too.

Thanks for sharing your suggestions for iPads. It's really helpful to see each iPad next to each other to get a comparison for the various sized screens. I think I'm leaning towards a refurbished 11" Pro Gen3 or Gen4 with 256 GB.

[@artsideoflife]

Glad I could help 😊 Those are both great. If your budget allows, get Gen 4, it should be supported by iPadOS and Procreate updates longer 🍀

[@suavementeMIX]

great video. I am trying to use it mainly for drawing and note taking. For drawing (which will be my main use)I do want to have the ability to lay my hand on the screen and focus on detail as well. I feel that normally i prefer bigger sizes thought. Would you recommend the Air, or Pro. At the end, I am a beginner ,and while I learn quickly, I have never use procrate before. Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@blackbird3456]

Go with what you can afford. I have the air and it works great for drawing. I'm used to screen of 12 to 16" in graphic tablet, so an 11" screen is a bit small for my own taste. I'd get a drawing glove to avoid having your hand sticking on the screen and to make it move around more easily. There's palm rejection in procreate as well. It's automatically set, so you don't have to work on that. I've been drawing on computer for a while now and a lot of programs have brushes, layers, a colour wheel and a selection tool. Though, I don't really like the hand selection tool in Procreate very much.

[@artsideoflife]

@blackbird3456 Thanks for replying!

[@giratinalight]

Really great comprehensive video I really appreciate all the thoughts that went to it. My budget is personally like ipad air but 256gb but tbh I'm gonna wait since it's kinda rumored that ipad air 6 might release this nov or october and some are saying it might have 90 hrtz refresh rate and hopefully the hover feature with m2 chip what do u personally think do u think I should wait? I'd love to get pro 11 gen but the 128 gb isn't enough I'm scared I might run from storage and my budget can't afford the ipad pro 11 gen 256 gb so yeah!

[@artsideoflife]

Sounds unlikely they will put similar tech into iPad Air that is in their Pro line. But who knows 🤷‍♀️

this was realy what u need to know thank you, its interesting in wich i will use adobe illyustrator easier?

[@artsideoflife]

Glad I could help! I’ve used Adobe Illustrator app on my iPad Pro and drawing was very smooth. When you check the latest requirements I can see they support iPadOS 14+ and recommend Apple pencil 2, so I recommend any of the iPad Pro and iPad Air if you want to have enjoyable experience using Illustrator on your iPad. Or iPad Mini 6 if you need portable iPad. Best wishes

[@helenevalerga6014]

Hello😊 Thank you for providing a great informative video. I am just getting into illustration and got an an iPad 10th generation 64g for a birthday present🤗… I also got a usb c Apple Pencil. So excited! My questions - Is 64g adequate for illustrating a picture book or do I need more storage? 🌻

[@artsideoflife]

Hey Helene, that sounds great! You will have a lot of fun illustrating 😊 Yes, 64GB is plenty if you are just a beginner and if you don’t plan storing a lot of videos on your iPad. I have a lot of videos and helpful articles about Procreate which may be helpful to you. You will find all on my website: artsideoflife.com/procreate/

[@emilyeah]

❤ Thank you! Would you recommend getting ipad air 4 refurbished over ipad 10 generation? The cost is the same now. Its for my daughter 11 y old who loves to draw. Might be a bummer to get the pencil 1... Also, I have a suggestion for you. The Sketchboard Pro 2 could be really useful for you to consider. 😊

[@artsideoflife]

Glad it was helpful ❤️ If I was deciding btw those two bcs of the budget, I'd go for iPad Air 4 refurbished bcs exactly as you say it supports Apple Pencil 2. Hope your daughter has a lot of fun illustrating 😊 She may enjoy my Procreate brushes: artsideoflife.com/procreate/procreate-brushes/

[@soniaz5642]

Thank you so much for this precious information. I will most probably buy a 10th generation iPad to use with Procreate. What Apple Pencil type would be best for drawing (I plan on creating watercolour type art (ex: flowers with many details) but also other types of drawings. Thank you !!!

[@artsideoflife]

Glad I could help 😊 iPad 10 only works with Apple Pencil 1. Also have a look at iPad Air 5 bcs it works with Apple Pencil 2. If you plan to make watercolor art, you might enjoy my watercolor Procreate brushes. You can explore them on my website: artsideoflife.com/watercolor-procreate-brush-set/

[@soniaz5642]

Thank you ! What you are suggesting is a digital download that can be added to what is already included in Procreate ?

[@artsideoflife]

Yes, exactly. I created bunch of custom-made Procreate brushes - sketching, gouache, watercolors, etc. and watercolor and sketchbook papers. You can explore them on my website or here in KZbin videos. Best wishes

[@emmasalas608]

This was super helpful, thanks! :) I'm planning on getting an iPad Pro M2 2022 but I can´t decide between 512GB or 1TB storage. I'd mainly use it for illustration on Procreate and ocassional Adobe Creative Suite use. What would you suggest? :)

[@artsideoflife]

Glad I could help 😊 Great choice! 1TB will have 16GB RAM which gives you more layers in Procreate and more computational power if you are simultaneously working in different apps or for example video editing. if you work with many layers and big canvas sizes you may want to get that one. And of course if you plan to store a lot of files for references or videos, online courses, etc. otherwise 512gb is pretty sufficient. Enjoy!

[@petarkarchev2952]

How many layers does Procreate allow on the different A formats (A5, A4, A3 with 300DPI) on iPad 9? Thanks in advance!

[@eljey7teen963]

Hi, Miss Iva. I just have a question as I have never had an ipad but I am planning to buy one in the future. My question is about the number of layers in procreate, for example, an ipad 10th gen allows 55 layers, is that 55 layers can only be used for one artwork or 55 layers per artwork? I hope you get my question. English is not my first language so I hope you understand^^

[@artsideoflife]

Hi! It’s always number of layers per Procreate canvas. Number of layers depend on your canvas size and the iPad you use (mostly its RAM and other factors) Have fun with iPad and Procreate 😊 Find out more about Procreate layers on my website artsideoflife.com/procreate-layer-limit/

[@artsideoflife]

If you are just starting out, iPad Mini 6 should be sufficient. You could always upgrade later once you turn your art into career. Enjoy your art journey 😊

Hi, im a art student majoring in animation and visual effects. Do you think that the ipad air can be used for 3d rendering or do you recommend somwthing else ?

[@artsideoflife]

Hmm, iPad Air 5 might pull it off but for 3D rendering I’d use 16GB RAM so iPad Pro models with 1TB storage

[@SilverGamer14]

Hi! I am a young artist who is looking into buying my first I pad to learn how to draw and animate! This video was very helpful on how to do that, but I really do want your opinion because I don’t really know much about apple products despite having an I phone. 😅 I’m going to use the I pad for procreate, KZbin, and minimal reference photos. I’m not all too worried about the portability or the type of Apple Pencil ( I don’t know if I should be 🥲). My biggest concern is the storage of the i pad, will it fit all of my criteria? I don’t want something TOO expensive because I don’t have a lot of money, so I maybe thinking generation 10 with 64GB? (This is what’s in my current budget) As I said before, I am new to digital drawing and would really like to know your thoughts! Do you think I should save for the gen 10? Or am I too picky and will have to get something else that fits my usage of the I pad? Great video, thanks for providing this useful information to beginners like me! ❤❤ -Thank you 🎉

[@artsideoflife]

Hey there, if you are a beginner and you have limited budget, the iPad 10 with 64GB is a great option. It should last you for some years and by then you will know if you want to take art professionaly and invest in better models.

Let's see what they decide to do 🔮 😊

[@bellaruel]

Hi Iva. This talk was very good. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with this. Do you believe that storage space affects how well the procreate app works?

[@artsideoflife]

Hi Bella. Glad it is helpful ❤️ The storage is important if you work with big canvas files and too many layers - then your files may become too big and fill your storage fast. And then, if you decide to animate your illustration in Procreate Dreams (like in my latest animation kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHTEq3-OhKySkNE ), the Dreams files are quite big and they can fill up your storage fast, too. My post on external hard drives to expand your storage may also be helpful artsideoflife.com/external-hard-drive-for-procreate/

[@bellaruel]

@artsideoflife thank you! I bought the iPad last week based off your recommendations and talking to my husband. I'm so excited and I'm glad I found your channel 💓

[@artsideoflife]

Awesome to hear, Bella! Enjoy and have fun illustrating!! 😊

[@henrydrago]

Oh so the canvas size dictates the amount of layers? I'm planning to get an Ipad / Pro Create to drawing, but I never use a Ipad, I have just a Android Tablet with Ibis Paint and never see such a limitation, but I don't use canvas size that big so I don't know if could be a problem, usually I use sizes like ~3000x3000 300dpi or ~2000x2000, I think will not be a problem but I don't know, oh and I'm trying to get the Ipad Pro 11" M1 or the Air 5 M1

[@artsideoflife]

Neither will have an issue with those canvas sizes. Find more details in my post artsideoflife.com/procreate-layer-limit/

[@bloodyjulian9025]

Hi, I just bought ipad pro 11" M2 and I'm using procreate. Is it normal for the ipad getting heat while drawing? Im not saying it's overly heat but it quite warm compared to casual using and it makes me a lil bit uncomfortable 😂 is it a normal thing? I usually draw at 4000x3000 300 dpi

[@artsideoflife]

It might happen if you are charging it while you are drawing or if you are running too many apps with too many processes.

Hi Lance, i dont recommend the first gen of iPad Pro for Procreate. It’s already 9 years old and it’s not supported by iPadOS 17 so many apps may discontinue its support in 1-3 years. Read more on my website artsideoflife.com/what-ipad-works-with-procreate/

[@artsideoflife]

iPad Pro models have always been compatible with Apple Pencil 👍

Hi, which is better between the two of ipad air 5 or 10th gen for drawing, graphic design, and work productivity?

[@artsideoflife]

A simple rule of thumb is that Airs and Pros are top of the line and it comes down to your budget

[@jefferymccordjr1252]

I think I want the iPad air price wise but I like that the iPad 12.9 has 3d rendering

[@artsideoflife]

Oh yeah, that’s a hard decision. Maybe depends on what you want/need to do more?

[@Chippyeater]

I’m a graphic designer which one should I get ? I have the iPad Pro 12.9 3rd generation but I’ve had it for a few years now and the battery is dying, it has been lagging a lot lately and crashing while I work Which iPad would you recommend I upgrade to ? I’m also on a budget

[@artsideoflife]

If you already had iPad Pro 12.9 it might be hard to get used to anything smaller, but if you are on a budget then you could try iPad Air ... compare on my website: artsideoflife.com/ipad-pro-vs-ipad-air-for-procreate/

Hello, Im an HR professional & I normally read research papers & HR books & make my notes. Also, I am very fond of drawing and painting & I wish to learn digital painting using procreate (as a beginner). Can you please recommend which ipad to invest in?

Depending on your budget I’d say iPad 10 or iPad Air 5. Both should last you some time. 😊 If you are starting out you may enjoy my Procreate classes and brushes. You can explore them on my website: artsideoflife.com/procreate/

Hi there. If she is new to digital art and you guys don’t know if she sticks with it, I’d go for iPad 10 and if you have bigger budget then Air 5. You can read more about both on my website: artsideoflife.com/procreate/procreate-equipment/

If your budget allowed for S9 ultra, then you can go for iPad Pro 12.9" with M2 chip, for example this one amzn.to/3YOXpfk You should be able to finde some coding apps or install a remote environment.

I do have a laptop, I use photoshop cc 2017 but for the motifs I use a phone app called ibis. I don't have an iPad And recently I am thinking I might need one. (I am a fashion designer. I more like do designing garments and all. Never got to do textile patterns, but I learned the basic of basics in college After that I have never designed textile patterns. But now as I said I want to design custom fabrics for my brand.) And I would not change the iPad soon what I mean is I am looking for something I would use for years and years. I am also someone who needs a lot of storage. So, can you suggest to me what to do? honestly, I have no idea what to do.

Yes, if you won't work with huge 4K files, iPad Air should be able to handle smaller animation tasks. There is a lot that goes into it - such as animation app you plan to use, number of layers/tracks you will use, etc. iPad Air 4 is a pretty solid iPad but it does have its limitations. Best wishes

Not really. It depends on the model (RAM), iPadOS version and Procreate version

[@Anon78274]

Hi Miss Iva , I really like your style and niche of drawing.I'm quite skeptical regarding choosing the right ipad for me. I'm an animating student and thought to get the ipad pro 11 inch with 256 GB storage will it be enough and I can't afford to buy something at a higher price point than this so will it work on a long run for me?

[@artsideoflife]

Absolutely, the iPad Pro is a great choice for animation, offering powerful performance and a great display. While 256GB is a good starting point, the animation projects could quickly eat up space. If you're tight on budget, external storage is a good workaround. I've covered some affordable external storage options on my website, which you might find helpful.
