I have a Wacom Cintiq 21ux at home, the newer 24 inch Cintiq at work (and a co-worker just got the latest, massive, all glass front Cintiq). Plus, I’ve owned a Samsung Pro 900 12.2 for a few years with the Wacom Bamboo stylus accessory.
God damnit. The iPad Pro with the pencil blows them all clean out of the water. No discussion. Wacom just got obliterated.
I mean, I did not expect this at all. The pencil has got a fucking battery, for crying out loud! Yet, digital sketching has always been just that, digital. Paper was always the fastest and most natural. But I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Sketching on the iPad Pro (after a few brush tool adjustments) feels completely natural. For the first time in years with an apple product (I thought they went downhill after Steve Jobs), “it just works”.
Congratulations Apple. I’m selling my Cintiq.
