[@sanhitadevi980]

this is all i needed to hear. 11 inches it is. I think a larger canvas would be intimidating for me and trigger the perfectionist in me. 11 inch would keep it fun and light.

[@radiantbird]

Same. I’m a perfectionist and the 12.9 would trigger me. Lol. I went with the 11 and upgraded to 258 gb so I never run out of room.

[@killjoy1056]

@@nishajassal1476 I always go for 12.9 just because if you want a small ipad, get the Mini 6, but if you want a real iPad, get the nice big screen because we all watch movies sometimes and not just draw all the time. 12.9 is the ultimate media experience escpecially with the new Mini Led Screen

[@Gleichtritt]

I was thinking the same. But now I ordered the 12.9 and sell my 11, because the screen is actually a lot bigger. Also one day I plan on getting a keyboard for it, and 12.9" is basically the minimum size for a notebook. What annoys me the most, is that it is quiet hard to draw bigger things and whenever you want to draw anywhere else than the left edges, your hand cant really rest. I was even thinking on building something for it, like a little "put in" frame :D. With such a costy device it was not smart, to try saving money on that end of the spectrum. For someone who still does not want to spend this much, I would rather recommend to buy an older but bigger ipad pro, than an 11" 2020. The 2017 12.9 should be a better pick then :).

[@heubertkhanmichael5239]

@@simeonpretorius4321 it depends on what kind of professional art you do, I think. iPad 9.7 2018 is my 1st iPad, & being a comicbook artist who mainly does pencil & ink work I was able to compelte several 20-page comics using the device, with each page @ 300dpi. However, if your work requires full colors &/or @ at least 400 dpi, then I would highly recommend upgrading to the iPad Pro so you could do more layers thanks to the higher RAM of the Pro. I actually just did that & bought the 2020 iPad Pro last week as I have just been tapped to do costumes for a local film & layers would benefit me well when coming up with several designs for each actor :)

[@anam00090]

I feel like animation apps would benefit from that extra screen real-estate as you do need to have the timeline and tools visible most of the time. That said I still decided to get 11 inch to sketch on the go, in cafes and on the sofa, screen size feels fine when you actually try it and it's SO much lighter.

Im on the same dilema, im studying animation aswel.. should i go for the 11`?

[@anam00090]

@@ottovonweaboo6355 It's a very personal preference tbh. Animation software would benefit from extra screen real-estate, I think your best bet may be to go to a store and see both models and test them. I wanted something I could draw on on my lap and 12" felt too large for this purpose, my hands are small as well. You may want to see both to compare for your use-case. You can work in programs just fine, but what you need in an iPad may differ from my preference. I just wanted something that would not be heavy with a case on, 11 gives me that.

[@sethsmith9834]

Good review! This is good to know for artists that are okay with smaller screen size

[@chiefd13]

I'll go for the 11 inches. I used to work on a PC and the monitor size was a bit over 20 inches and my eyes were getting lost in that. made my eyes tired of trying to find where I wanted to click on. So I upgraded to a 15.6 inch laptop and it feels nice to have a smaller screen and portable device. so much easier on my eyes. yes, sometimes a bigger display would be helpful if you're constantly zooming in and viewing a smaller part of the work each time until you zoom out to see the larger picture but I would sacrifice that for all the other benefits of a 11'. i also tend to use smaller sketchbooks the most, and portability matters to me. 11 inches seem more comfortable. thanks for the video. >>>update: after seeing both models up close at the store, I went for the 11". The 12.9" is way too heavy and takes up so much space, you'll be wondering how to hold it correctly. My hands are slim and on the smaller side, so lifting the 12.9" was not comfortable for me. Wouldn't be a good "on the go" choice either bcs of its size. If you care about portability and comfort the most, go for the 11" you won't regret it. The screen size is perfect for drawing.

[@thanatosor]

have you compared it with gen 10 size ?

[@djorzgul]

I brought 12.9 with me on a bike trip and I ended up NOT using it on the road because it was too demanding to take it out and use spontaneously. So I ended up taking photos with a phe, haha... 11 is definitely more convenient size for carrying around.... Shines nicely in the night though....

[@sjffarinas110]

I think in terms of portability and size like drawing on a bed, laying down…went for the iPad mini 6 (2021), it’s not small at all since I used to draw on my iPhone a lot, it worked out. In terms of pursuing animation, iPad Pro 12.6 would be the best choice. In the case of the video, clearly 12.6 is better in terms of long term, and in portability and giving a “sketch” effect, I’d go smaller for an iPad mini.

[@t3m288]

I'm having a lot of inner debates on whether to get the 11' or the 12'9 haha, I intend it for like 50% drawing and 50% video watching/movie streaming, for the latter I think the 11' would be better because I can hold it in a comfortable position and bring it with me in cars easily, but for the drawing I think I'd prefer the extra space, except I don't want to have to put it in the table to draw.. I never draw at a desk anymore. A lot of people strongly recommend the bigger one because the more space the better. But yeah I'm confused 😂😂

[@teohyc]

Get the 11

[@QuackersExpress]

Ye it cheaper and the sigh diff isnt like HUGEEE but i would prefer. the larger one but it expensive so the 11 will be better. Maybe when like a 16 inch or something comes out XD. That is mainly for art but lel. If you got a stand Movie Watching good too. Sorry for my bad grammar maybe ;-; Hope this helped!

[@heubertkhanmichael5239]

I'd say if you have more cash to burn, get the 12.9. I surely would have bought that if it were only $100 more, but it's $250 more expensive where I'm from & since I came from using a 9.7" iPad anyway, I thought moving to 11" is more than enough already. Objectively, you can't go wrong with either. They're beast machines that can handle a lot of graphic work.

[@GeekedOutNeckbeard]

I would say get the 12.9. The size is already quite small, but it's basically the best size. If you hold it vertical and draw it's like paper. Which is awesome. You'd think it gets in the way and is hard, but not too big a deal. Since you'll be lugging it around in a bag, more than likely, you will be taking it out when you're just at a cafe or in the park. You'll get used to it if you want to draw horizontally. Nothing beats the size. And it's easy to carry. At least for me, since I've used a Surface Pro. So I am used to the 13' size

[@heubertkhanmichael5239]

Makoto Kazuki Agreed. The additional weight is actually tolerable, and I think remarks saying that holding a 12.9 iPad 2018/2020 is like holding a tray is kind of exaggerated. Ironically, its body doesn’t appear to be much of an upsize next to the 11-inch, but when the screens are lit up (particularly on a drawing app workspace like Procreate), the extra space is quite sizeable.

[@dad.0]

[@islandgirl75]

I think the comparison to the sketchbook is really good. I either sketch on A5 or A6 so that influenced my decision a lot. I also will be doing note organization/planning and I just didn't feel that I needed that much display for that. My MacBook Pro is 13.3" and it made no sense for me to get a table that was almost just as big.

[@ghost-fs7th]

The size is the only thing holding me up right now. I've been locked down by a 22 inch tablet for years. Not being able to take it anywhere has been such a buzz kill. So obviously, I'm nervous about the 12.9 inch. I don't want to fall right back into the same trap. I plan to do most drawing in my lap... Ugh! I just don't know.

[@Qashimo]

I'm getting the 11" for Drawing; Writing, watching shows, video editing, and some gaming. I'm used to drawing on a little android. So I think the 11" is great for my transition. I can't really afford the 12.9" if I wanted to get a case, a screen protector, and Procreate. P.s I didn't know the wait was going to be this long lol.

If cost and weight not an object would you choose the extra real estate? I've found myself over the years (yes, I'm old) going from larger to smaller, smaller to larger, as the market has kind of dictated. Now the choices are more varied, I find myself gravitating to smaller phones and larger tablets. My laptops are increasingly gathering dust now tablets are more capable.

[@teohyc]

Personally I think the weight factor is more important than the screen size especially when considering a tablet which is meant to be portable. The 12.9 inch requires setting it down on a tablet or support when using. Unless you just want to use it for leas than a minute

I still don't know if I should go with the 11 I do need the portability because I'm a person that enjoys drawing in others places than home. I love drawing looking to the river and in my country there's alot of good stops to chill next to the river, and I also travel alot. But I also want to use photoshop and other softwares like adobe animate and clip studio. Do you think the 11 inch is good for that? I'm kinda worried that maybe it's a waste of money to buy the iPad pro to just use procreate. I know iPad air is good for it too. I don't think the difference is that big. I'm still so indecisive I want an iPad that will last me years and that I can be a professional with cuz I have a degree in animation and illustration and I want to work hard to be a professional on that area. I'm also a graphic designer. But I also want something portable. I'm super indecisive. 😭

[@teohyc]

If you are going to bring your tablet out very often, the 11-inch is probably the better option. Most drawing apps still have UI that's designed quite well to fit on smaller iPads. If you often use apps that have lots of UI elements, e.g. Clip Studio, then a larger display with more resolution will be more productive. So you have to research those apps you use and how they present UI.

[@donalone]

Thanks I keep being recommended to view your video when considering which iPad to buy for drawing. I think it's very compelling to get a smaller screen and save some money. Now Air is even cheaper than 11 Pro.

[@Plyr.1]

The new air u got is 60hz screen and 4gb ram mean while Pro is 120hz 6gb ram. The refresh rate is a big different when you drawing

[@donalone]

@@Plyr.1 thanks. I’m still deciding between Air and Pro. But in some other reviews they say ProMotion 120Hz makes not much difference as Procreate optimize the brush response very well. As for RAM, if you draw in screen size, you can still get up to 90+ layers in an old 4GB iPad. I’ll need to check in the Apple Store.

[@donalone]

Just tried in a store. - RAM affected layer number is way beyond my drawing need. Don’t remember the number but like >30 at least for on screen resolution. - I could notice the lag from the refresh rate when I draw fast long lines, feels like the stroke is trying to catch up the brush head on iPad Air. On Pro, the stroke stuck with brush head. But for shorter strokes there is not much difference. - Air has a faster single core CPU. I noticed it took less time to load the brush drawer than Pro. But again, hardly noticeable in a split of seconds. There is an animation sample on Procreate which takes some time to load on Pro, but on Air they remove it in Procreate from display model. Maybe they don’t want Air to feel slow. But animation is not needed for me. - Air bezel is a bit wider than Pro but unnoticeable, not as big difference as I thought. Thickness is also fine. Not huge difference. - Fingerprint reader, works ok and fast. But screen can be turned on by tapping the screen. Just extra step to put your finger there. So for the refresh rate, is really the only thing that bothers me a bit for drawing. But considering the price it’s really “noticeable”.

[@donalone]

Someone liked my comment, just to add that in the end I chose iPad Pro as budget is not my concern, and the extra RAM will support me to switch back and forth the apps. And The brush action is smoother.

[@teohyc]

Look at your current workflow and see if you will be bringing the tablet out often. 11-inch will be significantly more portable.

[@Shadowthevampire]

From what I remember there was some feature on the smaller inch that didn't exist in procreate because the size wouldn't allow it I thought it was swatches or color history but you seemed to have thatm jähave they upgraded that? Or was it another feature that was missing...I think I heard this somewhere. Also I have a question is the screen quality like the grafics worse on the larger one? I know if you ever played a Nintendo 3ds the smal size has better quality the XL version had more pixelated quality because the games had to be revised they wräerent originally made for the larger screen. So I thought if the 11 inch and so came first maby the 12 inch looks worse because the appas weren't originally made for that size? So if you could check for me it be nic

[@teohyc]

The screen quality is the same. Same LCD and same pixel density.

[@Shadowthevampire]

@@teohyc do no matter which one I get I won't notice any difference? I'm very picky xD

[@amyanderson7205]

Which screen protector are you using on the 12.9 inch ipad? Do you find that the more muted colours effect the drawing?

[@teohyc]

That screen protector is SuperShieldz that I bought on Amazon. It does make the colours more muted due to the matte texture.

[@TheChameleon2008]

its more muted BUT you get so much better pencil control so i think its worth it. I think paper like is shit and overpriced so i use good quality matte protectors, that i like to switch up every few months with a glass protector.

[@joepapa7668]

I’m most likely not going to take my iPad anywhere unless I use it as a laptop, but I’m not sure if I should get the bigger one for laptop purposes and note taking and drawing while having a bigger screen, or the smaller one for more comfort and reading. Which one should I get?

[@teohyc]

Look at your current workflow and habits. If you are going to bring out out often, get the 11-inch. It's significantly more portable.

[@simao9791]

Hi! The ipad pro 11 also has the laminated screen?? Does the iPad Pro 12.9 feel the same way to draw? Is there any space between the pen and the screen?

[@teohyc]

They have the same laminated display

[@kekoneko1517]

The color are different because of the screen protector in 11 inch ipad you put on glass one but in the 12.9 inch is like paperlike one's 🤔

[@SharlyScherbatsky]

I'm new on Apple, I just wanted to know how does "generations" work, is more than one Ipad pro 11" 2020? and How can I see at first sight which one I am looking at?

[@teohyc]

It's difficult to tell which generation an iPad is because Apple does not put that up front on their product page. BUT all the products on Apple website are the latest models.

[@rabiia_art]

I have an question, does the 12.9 inch are very heavy? If its not too heavy i take this one but im hesistating with the 11 inch, i dont want something too small tho but the thing its the 11 inch its easier to carry so i dont know

[@teohyc]

12.9 is noticeably heavier than the 11 especially if you want to bring it around often. And you will definitely need to set it on a surface to draw. With the 11-inch, you can hold in hand, while standing, to draw. When you add a case, the 12.9 becomes even heavier. Personally I don't think you lose out much with the 11-inch. The canvas area is still large and comfortable enough to draw on.

[@rabiia_art]

@@teohyc alright thank you, i will take the 11 one then ^^

[@LyricsCrashx3]

how do you enable palm rejection on the IPad Pro? - Procreate? I'm thinking of getting one but in the store, palm rejection was off.

[@teohyc]

Palm rejection is automatic. You can’t turn it off

[@PhilChandlerArts]

I really would like a 12.9” for the extra drawing area. I wouldn’t really be travelling a whole lot with it, so I’m not so concerned about it being cumbersome in any way. However, the one thing that does stand out and concerns me with the 12.9” is the how much more muted the colours look. I don’t have the best eyes so I like having the bright rich colours. It’s the only reason why I won’t get a matte screen cover for my iPad 7. I was wondering if perhaps it’s just because you have a matte cover on your 12.9” iPad, or maybe the colour brightness is something that can be adjusted.

[@davesartbook]

Hey, near the beginning of the video he did say the colours were muted on his 12.9 because he uses a matte screen protector on it, the iPads are equally bright and colour accurate otherwise 👍

[@teohyc]

The muted colours are due to the matte screen protector on my 12.9. The colours are vibrant, like on the 11-inch, without the matte screen protector

[@Quelkei]

Honestly I don't know what to do. I don't mind spending the extra money for the 12,9 but the idea of getting this iPad is being able to draw outside (I am upgrading from a XP-Pen artist 12 because I'd love to draw outside), because I also travel a lot. The problem comes when I think about using other programs such as Midibang. I feel like it would be nearly impossible to draw on those with the small screen, but I don't know. It's such a difficult decision :'( any recomendations?

[@syybersam]

Honestly I think people would just get used to the bigger screen, especially if you hold is vertically like a sketchbook! I usually draw on a desk and on my lap if im outside, and I wouldn’t mind the extra bit of weight, I’m gonna buy the 12.9 inch cuz size is important to me XD

[@user-mw6cu8hj5c]

Hi, what did you get?

[@Quelkei]

@@user-mw6cu8hj5c Hey! in the end I went with the smaller one. Since I never owned the big one I can't tell if I made the right choice. Anyway I never felt that it was small or I never regretted buying that model because it was umconfortable or anything. I also only used Procreate, which is designed for the canvas to match the whole screen, so idk how I would react if working with midibang or photoshop. I think if you want to use some other thing rather than procreate you'd have to go with the bigger version. Also I'm not a graphic designer / professional artist, I only draw for fun, so I'm not very demanding with my art tools!

I would kill for a much bigger iPad. Heck make it 24 inches so it’s comparable to a Wacom pro display.

[@vincsenzo]

Nathan Lynn that would be awsome! Maybe with a surface studio like stand, but even without it I would buy it.

[@nathanlynn4826]

@@vincsenzo I absolutely agree. I have a 24 inch wacom right now but I cant run alot of apps I want to because they are tied to mobile software. I want a 24 inch surface studio made by apple that has an apple pencil and a scales up fresco or procreate.

[@moorasakistudios3883]

Hello! What would you recommend for an art student taking online classes? 11" or 12.9"? Since not only will it be used for drawing, mainly animation, (but frequently for drawing), but also video calls and such? By the way, thanks for the video! It really helped narrow down my choices! 😊

[@teohyc]

It’s difficult to choose. Main consideration is the 12.9 has to be set on a table to use most of the time. 11 is way more portable.

[@moorasakistudios3883]

Oh! Okay thank you! 😊

[@DianaHernandez-fe9io]

How many layers do you get on procreate? Do you think that using more ram helps you to increase the performance? An ipad pro with 128gb is enough? Thanks in advance.

[@teohyc]

When creating an A4 300DPI canvas, iPad Pro 2020 can create 73 layers while iPad Pro 2018 and iPad Air 2020 can create 57 layers. 128GB storage is enough and comfortable in my opinion.

[@DianaHernandez-fe9io]

Thanks, I heard that the more ram the device, more layers you get, or it is the ipad processor? On ipad 6th gen I only get 26 layers

[@teohyc]

@@DianaHernandez-fe9io Yes, generally speaking more RAM means more layers.

[@user-sy5qw3mj1u]

If I don’t draw outside much, mainly at home, is 12.9 better?

[@nl7426]

Have you tried drawing using the 1st gen ipad pencil? Is the 2nd gen better?

[@teohyc]

They have similar drawing experience to me. They use the same tip and have the same weight anyway. I don't use the tap shortcut on the Apple Pencil 2.

[@Oscar-tm9pt]

The main difference about them is that they are compatible with different iPads and iPhones.

please help, im used to drawing on a sketchbook and not ipads, i got one of these and since im so used to drawing tiny in the sketchbook my proportions get janky on a big screen, especially since i have tiny ass hands and the ipad covers both of mine spread out im not used to this ;-;

Maybe get paperlike screen protector that will make it feel like your drawing on paper. It may help i hope
