[@UdayDesigner11]

Thank you so much for this video.❤️❤️😊😊 We have a roughly idea whether we should take the ipad of 9th Gen or not. But I have a question that can we do professional logo designing in 9th gen ipad Or should we buy 10th gen ipad? If you have any other ipad for logo designing(Graphic Designing) in your mind in the budget of 450$ then please suggest us.🙏🙏🙏💯💯

Now it all makes sense. Why? Well, I'm a beginner in digital art. Days ago I bought an iPad Air 5 M1. After some days, I felt uncomfortable having it. I questioned myself: Should I have such a high end device if I'm just a rookie? Am I not skipping some important learning curve by having such a powerful device? I felt like I was taking a shortcut instead of going the long mile.. Yesterday I listed it for sale. Someone is now offering me an iPad 9 with case and a brand new Apple Pencil as part of the payment. After watching your video, it all makes sense! I get more than half of my initial investment back and obtain a decent iPad experience to begin my digital art journey. think I can thrive well on an iPad 9 as a beginner. I also mostly draw monochromatic and manga, I have no experience in color mixing or painting, so being humble and starting low key is the right way. I also wonder, how many awesome professional artworks have been done on iPad 9? Probably lots! In short, it is wise to begin my journey with a humble iPad that can last a long time. I'll surely be able to go bigger and upgrade later on when I become proficient. I also remember how I was able to push the limits by producing amazing music on a very old mini laptop with less than 1gb ram and a Celeron processor years ago. I like the feeling of achieving awesome stuff despite all limitations, and I want to do the same with digital art. Instead of using high end tech and making everything easy, using low end teaches me how to maximise every tool and bit of hardware at my reach to get the best results. This is indeed the core philosophy of Haruchemy (Haru + Alchemy), metaphorically turning coal into gold, basically making the most out of what is available. So to honour my own personal brand and personal philosophy, I'll get that iPad 9 and draw like there is no tomorrow! Who knows, maybe this experience I'm sharing here is a good way to also start my KZbin channel, after all. By the way your content is amazing and super educational. Keep it up! You're a wise KZbinr and Artist.

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Thank you for sharing your experience! But yeah, the 9th gen ipad is already solid. I don’t think I mentioned it in the video but I know Procreate already commissioned Loish to do her artwork as one of those default procreate artworks which I’ve noticed since the 2017 iPad Pro. The 2017 iPad Pro is weaker than the current 9th gen ipad. So there really isn’t anything stopping you from creating great art on it with pretty much any ipad. Just get familiar with your tools and you can really do anything.

[@aKroMotion]

Dam bro,im a rookie too,but i love drawing so i saving money,im gonna buying straight to most powerful chip m1. But ur comment makes sense,but u promise me its good for rookie with procreate? I mean,think about laminated display, Do i need it as rookie? Or high end chip,is it necessary ? How about ipad air 4? Im confused. Is ipad 9 satisfy ur needs as drawer or for makes a short animation? Excuse my english

[@Haruchemy]

@@JimmyLamStudio Absolutely! Unfortunately, because I'm homeless at the moment, I had to exchange the iPad 9 for temporary accomodation during the rough storms of the last weeks. I lost the iPad, unfortunately. But I still have my Galaxy Tab S7, so I just need to buy an S Pen and start making art. Yup, I need to get a job soon. I tried the iPad 9 with Procreate, Adobe Fresco and lots of apps, and I can say, IT IS AMAZING, and it works awesome. An iPad 9 is a very powerful tool for artists. Cheap, on a budget, it works! Go for it! Sucks being poor, though. I'll solve that smoehow.

[@Haruchemy]

@@aKroMotion Go for it! I had it for a couple of weeks and I used it to the fullest! Even Procreate Dreams works fantastic! Super amazing! if you're a rookie on a budget, go for the iPad 9, I tried it myself and it works awesomely!

[@skyelorspacex]

@@aKroMotionhi I personally think the iPad 9 is a wonderful way to get into digital art! Yes it can have limitations but for me it’s perfect as I’m just doing it for fun and the iPad does everything I need it to and more

[@ruthlight4489]

Your video was the most helpful out of all I watched. It was unbiased and factual.

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Thank you for the kind words 🥹

[@yourrecroomman6422]

Its not terrible I’ve hade mine for 2 years and it has been very good I do drawing and it works just fine

[@GrooveGlowOfficial]

Hey I am planning to buy this Ipad I just wanted to ask if the apple pencil that is supported in the 9th gen has pressure sensitivity and Does it give you a experience because I am solely buying it for that purpose It would be really great if you give your review its really cheap right now I am getting both pen and ipad in 22k

[@swatanime]

@@GrooveGlowOfficial bro how

[@kirin1230]

I don't think something that released in September 2021 is "a little over 3 years old" yet. Beautiful drawing btw!

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Whoops bad math by me 😅, and thank you!

[@GazzaBoo]

Nice review. I bought one of these with a Pencil a couple of weeks ago, the iPad was 250 and the Pencil was 80 or so. Very reasonable price overall. I put the latest OS on it and it works very well, the non laminated screen is no problem, nor is the speed or Ram for what I do with it. Drawing, surfing reading, videos etc, all work well, the size is small as you'd expect but it's cheap and does what it should without issue. Overall it is good value. I also bought Easy canvas to use it with my old Windows desktop as a drawing tablet when I need tons of Ram, speed and storage for more heavyweight programs. I have BT mice and keyboards that work with it too. The only real thing I dislike about it are the speakers, frankly they suck, even the Amazon fire tablets sound better. Other than that it's all good.

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Thank you for the feedback and thank you providing some perspective on things I did not go over!

[@çizerÇizer]

Is it good as a graphic tablet?? Dos it lag when u connect it to ur Pc (

[@GazzaBoo]

@@çizerÇizer There will always be some lag despite what these companies would have you believe, but it’s very workable. It isn’t as responsive as my Huion Kamvas tablet screen, but then the Kamvas costs more than the Ipad and it’s an actual monitor rather than a computer, so it doesn’t have to go through the ipad OS first. The Kamvas Pen is also much nicer to use and has far better feel to it. Having said that, the Ipad does a good job and the lag is small. I use Easy canvas because it was a purchase, not a subscription. The other programs like Astropad may well be even faster, but I’m not paying subscriptions for them.

[@luqmanhabibulhaq2964]

is the ipad iPad Pro 10.5 slighhly better than iPad 9th gen? i have planing to buy one of them

[@mettataurr]

love this video format 😅 other reviews can be exhausting. so simple loved yours

[@pawlakkluc2641]

HEY! I have a question I want to start with digital art but I don't know what device to choose, iPad 9th gen or S9Fe, I know that iPad has Procreate but I'm afraid whether 3GB of RAM will be enough and not full laminated screen will be worse than S9 fe does the not laminated screen much worse than laminated ?

[@templarsjustice4956]

I would say that Procreate is a very useful tool, definitely a big selling point. The RAM likely won't be a huge problem, but I don't know what you plan to do with drawing. It's a decent amount of RAM, don't worry - still very usable. The screen may or may not be a problem, but you're probably not going to be pressing on it hard enough for it to be an issue.

[@Ash-nh6li]

you should start with a tablet that you can plug into your computer

[@ArtbyKolbi]

Thank you for a very detailed video, exactly what im looking for an ipad review for an artist esp. About how many layers on each canvas size👍

[@hypexclusivetv4206]

Does the non laminated display really matters? Does it affects the smoothness of the drawing?

[@bergzoid1]

One of the best reviews I've seen - Thank you so much, you helped me a lot!

[@plssmorii1165]

thanks gonna buy it cause it’s cheap in my country $480 good price!

[@theoptimistone]

Does palm rejection work good?

[@JimmyLamStudio]

It works the same as any other iPad.

[@AshCray1]

So depending on the size of the canvas is how many layers you can use? I was hesitate on getting the 9th gen iPad because I heard it gets less layers (7) on procreate but it didn't seem that way for you. So now I'm confused

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Yes, it is dependent on canvas size. The smaller the canvas, the more layers your device can handle. The larger the canvas, the less layers you’ll get.

[@AshCray1]

@@JimmyLamStudio okay thank you!

[@Prince-kn6qq]

So in A4 size how many layers we can use plsss replyyy​@@JimmyLamStudio

is it better to buy iped 9 or xiaomi pad 6

[@aKroMotion]

What purposed? Anyway,do u need android apps on bigger screen. Or similar app on ios but optimized for ipados? In short,If u have android phone,go for ipad as ur tablet.

[@nicolehailey]

It works with the first generation Apple Pencil correct?

[@michalkukuczka8367]

1st

[@mattthomas372]

So Apple Pencil 2 only works with ipad Pro/Air newer models ... so I take it you don't see a huge benefit in the Pencil 2 (apart from those things mentioned like wireless charging etc).

[@sureshbalaji5027]

Hey! Love ur drawing man! 😍How much max Canvas size we can draw with 4 & 64 GB variant? and Im a beginner, Any suggestions?

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Thanks! I believe they would have the same amount of ram so the layers would be the same on any storage option you choose.

[@nocapzone369]

how many layers can you get for an 8*10 inch canvas on 300 dpi?

Hello! I would love to know your views on screen protectors with texture feels that imitate paper, vs the glass ones, vs the thin film ones. Both in terms if the health of ipad and apple pencil. Especially considering drawing on it. Thankyou, this video is extreamly helpful!🤭

[@all4cyrus]

The thin film ones will wear out eventually if you draw often so you get less protection for your iPad screen and a gradual deteriorating drawing experience. The paper feel screen protectors give you the best texture feedback and feel of paper and is the most satisfying to draw on. However you loose a bit of color accuracy, and it eats away at your pencil nib. Glass screen protectors offer the most protection but the tradeoff is the clacky sound (you get to ignore it over time though). I use the glass screen protector

[@riri-xm1oj]

hi! does ipad 9th gen and apple pen 1st gen react to pressure? i bought mine and it doesn’t. if something’s wrong with mine, what should i do?

[@JimmyLamStudio]

Yes, the 9th gen along with any other iPad that supports any Apple Pencil supports pressure sensitivity. If you have an authentic Apple Pencil, it should work. It could be the app or brush you are using otherwise.

[@riri-xm1oj]

@@JimmyLamStudio is it normal that the pen doesn’t work in procreate when the pressure curve is on the normal setting?

[@JimmyLamStudio]

@@riri-xm1oj it should work on the normal settings. I you have tried multiple brushes already, something may be wrong with your pencil.

[@perre1441]

Hello! Thank you very much for making this video! As you said, I’m a beginner and I would like to try digital art for the first time. I wanted to buy a super modern IPad but you changed my mind lol. I have one question though. Drawing requires me to buy the 256GB version? Or 64GB will be good? I just have that doubt since I have never drawn digitally. I don’t want to download games or other things. Just the necessary apps for drawing, and KZbin/Netflix. I have the money, however, but I would like to know if the extra 230 dollars worth or I could just upload my drawings to ICloud or something like. What would you recommend? Thank you so much for your time!! I hope you reply!

[@perre1441]

By the way, which app are you using in the video?

[@JimmyLamStudio]

You can manage with 64gb. I do the same with an iPad mini which has 25gb if storage used. 5gb going to art and the rest for miscellaneous things. I dont like to hoard stuff so I dont mind deleting things from it from time to time. The drawing app is Procreate.

[@perre1441]

@JimmyLamStudio thank you so much for your reply. Love your drawings! ❤️

@@perre1441 hi i have the same question that you have. did you get a proper answer for it

[@perre1441]

@@yurandifernando487 Hi fernando! Yes I have an answer! I bought the iPad 9th with 64gb of storage and it’s perfect! I’ve been drawing on it and although I said I didn’t want to play videogames I actually downloaded a couple of, and it has still free storage, so that’s not a problem at all. I first started drawing on the sketchbook app and then bought the Procreate app. I also bought the apple pencil and it works really nice, I use it to take notes for my English classes and School classes. If you are thinking of buying this iPad my opinion would be that it is worth it. 👍

[@lerafae]

Can it run Procreate Dreams?

I don't do much animation to try it myself but they Procreate Dreams does have this on their website help.procreate.com/articles/zlexav-ipad-compatibility

How do you get the app to reject your hand and only use the pencil?

if you go into the Actions menu on the top left, under the Preference Tab, in Gesture Controls under General, you can disable painting with finger.

Thanks for the review. I was going to get a 9th generation iPad specifically for using procreate but since there is a delay with the pencil I won’t get it. The delay is the worst feeling when you are trying to draw something. Very annoying. Beautiful artwork, I like your style.

[@TOTU]

I bought this iPad for sketching form when I’m outside of my house, and I don’t notice any delay. Might be because I never used a device with 144hz display before lol

Yup, if the canvas size is under 4000px, you should be fine.
