Comic Artist Reviews M4 iPad Pro

I use the iPad Pro to make comics professionally. It's my daily driver and most-used device, so I really wanted to see if the M4 iPad Pro was worth the upgrade.

What a twist at the end. Sorry to hear that. Your art is amazing and looks flawless on that screen.

[FlosBlog]

Oh no! 😿 What a twist to your story. I hope everything went well.

FINALLY an actual user review, not some tech YouTuber.

[XHellbentX]

Conclusion first, you dropped this king 👑

Love your ipad videos especially because they’re from a professional comic book artist perspective who works solely from the ipad. More videos like this, detailing the experience of working purely from the ipad professionally for art and all the apps you use will be nice! Lastly so sorry about what youre going through health wise, i hope you get well soon, that was a gut punching twist to your story. Will be sticking with you through your journey. New sub.

Great video and I love your positive energy. Sorry to hear about your medical issues, I hope you get getter.

You are the best I must say…..glad you pointed out some few points to go home with. I have the M1 chip also and I’m not ready to upgrade except Apple surprisingly give mind blowing updates on the os part and open it more to pro level apps on the iPad, ….then I might consider. Love your comics and your work ethics…..I prayed all will be well health wise, ….hope it isn’t you please?

I'm not going to update, but DANG do I wanna test out drawing on the nano-texture! Gotta go the the store when I get the chance. THNX for the review! It's always so valuable it to hear an artists oppinion on these devices. Hope everything goes well! All the best!!!

I'm sorry to hear about the medical emergency! Wishing you the best. As for me, I'm still saving up from work and it may take me a while to upgrade to a newer iPad Pro. Your artwork is amazing as always.

that nanotexture is a godsend!! especially since i have ruined my apple pencil nibs with paperlike and i hate the glassiness of the ipad so this works for me!

[kentaro]

Thank you for the detailed review! It was very helpful from an artist's perspective.

I personally wanted to get the Nano Texture as I tried it a couple of times at the Apple Store, but it was too expensive to get that texture just for the extra storage, which I don't need much.

I work indoors with my iPad most of the time, so I thought I'd be okay with a reflective surface. It has better color contrast anyway. The reason why I loved the Nano Texture is because it doesn't interrupt my drawing with the side of my hand and allows the Apple Pencil to glide very well. So Instead, I got a tempered glass screen protector. It has a nice silky touch that I prefer. I noticed I like this more than the paper-like texture screen protector since I used to use a Cintiq as my main drawing tool.

I watched your original unboxing and first impression video and I really did expect to hear that you were going to keep your M4 13 inch but I totally understand medical emergencies take parody. I hope everything is well with you. Keep up the amazing work and I can’t wait to see your next videos And I also can’t wait to see when you actually do pick up the M4 13 inch iPad Pro in the future my M4 13 inch iPad Pro showed up the day after launch

Your mention of Procreate not having updated their software yet to take advantage of the new pencil features only available to the iPad Pro, and Zbrush's anounced iPad entry also not yet available on the iPad Pro to signals an iPad Pro centric announcement at this years 2024 WWDC

[CosmicApe]

I went up to 1TB for the 16GB of ram, but are you actually filling 2TB of storage? Seems like crazy overkill for an iPad.

[LegancySM]

Hey. I am thinking about new M4 Pro with Pencil pro. I would be very thankful for suggestions about SSD size - should I buy 512 or 256 will be enough for procreate and concept-art?
I want to use it for a long time without change for new one. Thanks for suggestions!
