Check out my comparison of the Sketchboard Pro and the Darkboard here: The BEST iPad upgrade for artists.

[travissennett]

I have both the darkboard and Sketchboard Pro 1. I was going to wait for them to release the version for the M4 ipad, but now I'm thinking of getting the one that's built for the M1/M2, since it fits more snugly. Thanks, Chris!

[guyelnathan]

This video made me subscribe to your channel. Down to earth and finding a practical solution for artists who don't have endless resources. Thank you!

So grateful for this video. I was worried I would need to buy a new darkboard for the 13 but looking at the dimensions between my ipad pro 12.9 2020 and the M4 Pro 13" its so minimal. Yay! Because the m4 is a pretty hefty investment for me. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this, I was going to wait for them to update the insert for the new version, but it almost seems that getting the previous version would be a better choice.

Thanks, Chris! I’ve been waiting and waiting for them to come out with the one for the 13 inch, but if it fits in the smaller one, a little more snuggly, I’m fine with that!

What a great thing, i need to make one

[gruckusgrackus]

I joined their mailing list for an updated version of the sketchboard pro for the M4 ipad but it still hasn't been released yet. I figure I may as well just wait for that one. I quite like the nano texture ipad after using it roughly for a month. I did cut out some foam board but I had an old 2017 ipad which is actually quite a bit larger than these new fangled devices. I actually panicked a bit when i got the new ipad because i thought I accidentally bought the 11 inch one lol.

Thought I was sold on the Magflött Sketch disc 360 for the rotation and variety in angles, but the Darkboard looks worth checking out!

Chris, ..I have a question directly aimed at you and I would love for you to give me your honest answer. (Not that I think you would lie necessarily, ..lol)

My big reasoning for not ever purchasing an iPad Pro is the fact that I have Kong sized hands and the mere fact of trying to draw on a miniscule, whimpy 13" screen is nothing but an exercise in futility and anger. Add to that space occupied for app tools and now you are basically working in a postage stamp framework zooming in and out just to see what your doing. Add to it my dislike for most things Apple and its a no go. (If they ever had a 16" iPad Pro, ..I would at least give it a second look however)

My question (finally getting to it) to you is: Do you think you could "comfortably" create a full sized (standard sized) comic book replete with a story arc, panels and word balloons with a full cast of characters ENTIRELY on an iPad? OR...do you feel that you would likely want to do some of the work on a larger screen device or display tablet throughout that process? Obviously we already know that you certainly could do it based on your talent level, ..but I'm asking what would you feel most comfortable working on (device wise) for a comic book or perhaps a very large format project like a poster series or even a billboard? (Geesh, ..wonder if Billboards even exist anymore, ..lol...man I'm old).

I was just curious. To me, ...16-17" is the sweet spot for screen real estate....but I love to learn about what others think.

Hi Chris: something new to review: the Lamy Safari Note+ ! No video yet, only from Lamy itself.

[Jaxplode]

I had contact with the Sketchboard Pro guys. They usually 2-3months to make the new versions for 13“ and 11“ M4s including design and manufacturing. So I expect that that start to ship from the mid of August.

[noXPtoby]

I personally use the PenTips Ipad easel and a laptop lap tray 👌

[destinysimplyme]

Hacked my own with foam core, but I'm sure one day I'll upgrade.

Could you put some kind of pad on the board to raise up the iPad a couple millimeters to make it flush?

[Funneverstarts]

Can you use a very thin case with either of these boards? I have the iPad Pro 13 inch.

[CarlosBenjamin]

Where’s the link to the comparison video? I may have missed it.

[maryvladimirovna]

Daaamn those boards are expensive 😅
But they really cool duh

[MargrietBossink]

Thanks, Chris, just ordered the Afooyo drawing board. There will be space around for a case, so I am curious. I am also interested in your opinion about it. It is so much cheaper.
