Finally, a review from a pro user, not a pro reviewer. 👏

[MikeKleinsteuber]

What a refreshing change to see a YouTuber do a video in a nononsense professional fashion. No long tease, no long irrelevant titles, no desperate plea for subscription and likes; just gets on with the job and gets to the point. Very nicely done indeed.

[subtle.presence]

You, sir, are the first person to properly explain the purpose of Apple Pencil Hover and why this feature is so essential to any artist considering an iPad. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful approach to explaining the practical applications of this technology.

the story telling, the ability to engage without a cut to b-roll every 3 seconds and the articulation of what you want to say, in my opinion this is peak content. It has been so long since I have spent 17 minutes on a youtube video without wanting to click away or go down to comments/ search for the next video AND finish watching it without feeling any regret or guilt, actually feeling satisfaction even. This was great!

[xxTheWhiteWolf]

Definitely a big step for artists! It happens that art sometimes makes me feel trapped sitting on the chair in my room for too long so it sounds like promising solution to that. Also I really need to point out the amount of care you've put in the video production. My eyes were just stuck! The room looks very cozy and magical and the animations present the information in really good way.

[DeeJuusan]

I havent tried the M2, but ever since I got my first iPad Pro 9.7 with the Apple pencil, I instantly stated that if I want anyone to manufacture a pen display which would probably cost a fortune I'd happily pay for, it has to be Apple so I've been counting too for so long. The brightness and clarity is always top notch and the Apple pencil has always felt the easiest to draw with. It just *works*

[MykolaPetrovych]

I am a software developer, and the way of work you are describing has been available to us for decades. It is so insane that just now artists received the same opportunity! But anyway, happy for you :)

[catardeleanu]

So glad that someone did an iPad pro review from a painter's point of view!
Great video, Adam! Thank you so much

[nathanxbond]

I’m 37 now and my dad is a graphic designer and has been since before I was born in 1986. It’s amazing how fortunate we are these days. It look such a deeper level of love and commitment back in the day. Even the things you are describing. It’s cool to see how much you appreciate the technology we now have. Great content man. You have a new subscriber.

[Newgrfx]

I draw on my iPad Pro 2018 every day. 👏👏👏 thanks for this awesome review of a great product for those of us on the never ending quest for perfect workflow and conventional pen display.

[luistigerfox]

Oddly I didn't expect hover to be such a hot topic. I've had my ipads for art, but also samsung tablets. Idk, for me, it wasn't too big. Samsung has had hover for ages, and it did surprise me how long since the inception of the apple pencil it actually took to implement.

[kurtnelle]

I love the fact that you actually tried the use cases. Kudos. Finally somebody who understands why the hover feature is finally the game changer we've been waiting for. The last hover device I had was my Samsung Series 7 Slate.

[Gichanasa]

Fully agree that rapid dynamic adjustability for the brush size is a deal-breaker essential functionality. It's reassuring to have an accomplished artist confirm on that view I have had myself for years. On a side note, being able to watch Jenna Marbles with your son while getting work done... is a yet another level of accomplishment in life.

[felixcastor]

The fact that all this storytelling masterpiece of a tech review was practically done in one take just blows me away

[antonbrndt]

Wow. You are a great Storyteller! I just caught myself listening to you telling this story for 15min now. So great to see that you are here and that there are people and channels like this!, Love it!

[donpayne]

yes, the ergonomics of the ipad for drawing is heavenly.

[ozkifovxvypyvp]

The effects on this video are so well done, it's super impressive. Would be really interested if you had a video on what your editing process looks like, or if you're working with someone to handle the editing.

Im a newbie in the world of digital art but i bought XP Pen Artist 13.3. Pro then went for big boi Huion Kamvas 24 Plus and now i bought M2 iPad Pro 12.9 since i wanted something that i can work on from pretty much anywhere. This is truly something we can be grateful for that we can experience in modern days. Im waiting for Adobe to implement the hover feature in Adobe Fresco which i use as my iPad art software.

[artofhansjacob]

I was looking for an artist's perspective on this. I knew those tech-reviewers didn't get it. I've been using my 2017 model for pro work ever since I got it, + the apps have only gotten better. Was really excited when I heard about the hover feature. Time to upgrade ? 😁
I primarily use Procreate, Affinity Designer and VisRef.

[FutileGrief]

You broke this down amazingly for artists who know what's up and how technology has advanced. Thank you so much, Sir! I just invested in an iPad Air 5 with the M1 chip as my first tablet. I hope I love it enough and I have a quick return on investment cause I would love to experience the 12.9'' M2 one. Technology wise I feel we're so blessed. Not even 10 years prior we were suffering as you illustrated, and now we have a thing that barely weighs anything and we can do amazing art with it, anywhere, any time.
