Oh man!! Thanks so much for the in-depth analysis!
I will have to see. If I get back into my drawing it may be worth the investment. Otherwise, I will probably not bother. I have a tablet but not one that is good for drawing with - I use it as my main browsing computer and such. I wouldn’t mind having one I can draw with so I don’t have to worry about supplies all the time, but with the expense I just can’t justify it.

Is drawing traditionally getting too expensive? Cause Digital doesn't fix that. I went digital because I'm not at home a lot and wanted to make use of the times I was free to draw to be able to draw, and in colour. It upset me that I had so much time for sketches, but colour was always a rush. I tried taking colour with me but you know traditional media and colour. IT's not very portable. It also grabs too much attention from people and when I draw I want to be left alone. That's why the tablet is good, cause I could be doing school work. Who knows. I can also use it for surfing the net for references and carry my art around without injuring it. For that, the tablet took a while to warm up to but when I did, it was great Smile You need to ask yourself what it'd take to get you to draw more. What would it take?

    No, traditional drawings are cheap, but they take up space. Smile

    I don’t know what it would take me to draw more. I am a hobby binger. I get into textiles obsessively, then video games, then maybe drawing or something else, music… I just obsess over one thing at a time.
    I think it was good company and comfort that got me into it before. I am in a similar situation right now. Surrounded by people doing other things so I can chat and listen to people around me, and not have a sore back when I get up again 🥴.

    I don’t know how to ensure all those items, though…

      The cool thing about buying an ipad to draw on is that it covers a lot of hobbies, cause you can write, and plan other projects and surf the net etc... with it. It's not a bad idea. Maybe go used?

        I already have an iPad. Just not an iPad Pro. So it is a pretty big expense just to get a tablet I can draw on.

        I’m going to wait and see if I get myself back into drawing. If I do, I will look into a new iPad. Otherwise, it just isn’t worth the expense. Smile

          IF you're going to draw on it, make sure it's compatible with the pencil. IF it is, then go for it. You don't need a pro Smile
