The way you used the pens being so chill with each other to illustrate how you shouldn't stress about 'which one is the best' is genius

I can only tell from my experience that the pressure curve is much better for Wacom. Especially the lift of cursor is what I miss on Apples pencil and it takes alot more pressure to get an initial stroke. With Wacom I can draw very thin and light lines much easier

This has no right to be nearly as wholesome as it is. Love it!

Omg you are full of surprises! That was such cool animation, Brad! I can't believe you made the time and all the hardwork to create this video along with all the other videos you create. You are my hero!

Note that Wacom has like 10 different stylus protocols. EMR Digital, EMR Non-digital, AES 1.0, AES 2.0, AES 1.5, etc etc.
The one being compared in the video is EMR Non-digital.

As someone using them both on an almost daily basis, main takeaway is: Both they will get you where you want to go. The feel of each is different though. For those used to standard pencils, Apple's version comes out more naturally (and the drawing experience feels more natural too). Pressure sensitivity might be a tad more refined on Apple's Pencil too. But these days I've been working more on my 24" workhorse tablet and in the end what counts is getting the job done and both tools are capable of it.

5:00 Slight correction, you can actually double tap just about anywhere on the apple pencil as long as its towards the tip end. Found this out by accident and was super confused

Just finished watching the video. Brad, this is an amazing video. Keep up the great work and thanks for entertaining us with such a funny video!

With the Apple Pencil, palm rejection is fantastic—but that’s kinda a recent thing. When I first got my iPad Pro (2020) I had to get a glove or turn off touch input altogether in Procreate. Notes/Markup still does it every now and then, though not nearly as much

[EngineerRon]

Another GREAT example of why I tune in on every one of your videos! Great work, as always Brad! Informative, creative … and funny. How can you beat that?

[khankhattak.]

One of the best side to side comparison, you rock Brad!

[AdamDuffArt]

The MAIN reason I really can’t bring myself to use apple pencils/iPad pros is the visibility of the cursor

Pulling your eyes off your drawing to adjust brush size is a total flow killer

[jeffriart]

Nice to see both are not fighting... while there is overlap, both have their own specific use case and can compliment each other :)

[fartmachine]

it's important to note that the Wacom pens have different tips available. one has a spring in it that makes it really nice to draw with. Also the wacom art pen supports rotation.

3:00 - 3:23 This piece of information explained to me why the pencil on Procreate always seemed to be wavier than just using paper and pencil. If only Wacom had a version of the Mobile Studio Pro that was as portable as the iPad without all the bulkiness.

[BarcingMatter]

I actually use huion and the pen is similarly shaped to Wacom pens. Very nice feel. I use the huion kamvas 22 pro which is pretty good for the price! Definitely more affordable than Wacom for a product that works really well!

Great video, and love my Galaxy laptop you recommended. It’s been great to go from writing to drawing with ease. If I were to buy one of these it might be the Apple Pencil, but it’s only because it’s with the tablet. If I pick any it would be the galaxy tab s8.

[mashotaarts]

The S-pen Pro would be an nice inclusion to this vid 😉😉😉

[m.kstudio]

Loved the animations and personality you gave both pencils :D
