Drawing on the iPad Mini 2021 Review

This is the iPad Mini redesign we've been waiting for. This brings it inlie with last year's iPad air with the inclusion of touch ID and the Apple Pencil 2. But how is the size, is it to small for drawing on. We talk about that here in today's review.

I absolutely love the size of it, and can't wait to get my own. Some people complain that it's tiny, but I love that it's the size of a book. So easy to handle. Throw it in a bag, carry it confidently with one hand, lounge around on the couch. It's perfect!

gosh I love looking at things I can never afford

FINALLY someone else said " this thing is a bit expensive" haha

All the big tech channels who get free review devices all said "its not expensive!" and I'm like "to who!?" lol. Still I think I might try this as my first iOS device and big purchase of the year, thanks for the review!

Ok I might be the minority in this but I always loved drawing in book sized sketchbooks. Like this is perfect for me. Large canvases and large blank white paper always intimidates me when I start lol

[nicoleskey]

This is so perfect for artists on the go!! Hope I can grab one of these eventually!

Great review, Brad! For me this size is probably the perfect size for sketching ideas. I had the original Galaxy Note 8 and boy I created a lot on that thing! Sadly Samsung has abandoned that tablet category. No more flagship small tablet with stylus support. Now this! This could be my next digital sketchbook for a long time

Thanks for all your helpful reviews Brad. I purchased my first iPad a few weeks back for drawing/art and I LOVE it. I went for the latest Air model on your recommendation and it's such a great drawing experience.

Can't believe Brad actually got the new mini by Apple for him to review. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, new here

[ToonDesk]

At this point, Apple should just put a mini Apple Pencil on the iPhone Pro Max line

I’ve really enjoyed 3D sculpting in nomad on the last iPad mini during lunch breaks etc. The mini has also been pocketable for cargo pants and fits perfectly into my camera case to check my photos, can only imagine it’s gotten better with this new one great review!

[alexfsayshi]

This is what I’m here for! As an architecture student, I find the Pro way to big, and honestly expensive, and the mini has always had my eye - and so all I really wanted was a design style review, and here we are!!

That Mario is perfection! Well done Brad and great review of the new Mini

[Rebelnightwolfe]

I have mixed feelings about the volume buttons being on the top. It's the first I've ever seen them do that, but I guess to accommodate the use of a case as well as cater to a full sized apple pencil on the side makes sense.

[zoneftruth]

I'm so glad someone else feels that way about bezels - they aren't evil!

[DjBolt]

Game changer, I don’t know how many are fully aware of how great Apple products are and how capable they are, but as a designer Apple is just amazing, although it’s hard having to carry around my iPad Pro, this is such an amazing product that I can carry on the go. Mostly with the Apple Pencil 2 capable, game changer for sure!

Finally!😍 I really need to see this before I upgrade my old iPad mini

[yt_shyp]

thank you for your review 🥺 really helped me decide whether to get it or not. Needed a professional digital artist to tell me if 60hz & 120hz does make a HUGE diff. thank you!

Great review, Brad! I was always tempted by the Mini, but as you said, I rarely draw outside my home, so I think it would be more of an issue with the size, than something positive. But I would love to have the possibility to sketch on the go. I think with 128 gb, the base model would be just perfect.

When my 6th gen. iPad is no longer supported I am getting the 6th gen iPad mini ! For my hobby art needs. That is a sweet drawing of Mario in your style. I love your style of art.

I can't belive I'm this early.
I love this channel, you deserve a million subscribers, Brad.
Awesome review
