After addressing more than 1,200 requests from beta testers, Adobe released Illustrator for iPad chock full of features. With the new Illustrator on the iPad, Adobe didn’t want a repeat of the critiques that greeted Photoshop's iPad release. Since then, Adobe has delivered several updates, each of which added useful features, such as Subject Select, to bring the app closer to parity with its desktop counterpart. When Adobe first launched Photoshop for the iPad last year, some felt it lacked too many features to be truly useful. Illustrator on the iPad is Adobe’s only dedicated vector graphics app available for Apple's tablet.

Paperlike is widely considered the best brand but it’s expensive and I’ve found using a cheaper one like this one from Amazon works just as well. It helps give the screen a little bit of pull when you are drawing on the screen that feels more like real paper. I recommend getting a matte screen protector.

If you have no budget: Get both! Final tip: If you end up deciding to go with an iPad…

If you are on a budget: iPad or Wacom Intuos Pro If you are a more paint/pencil traditional illustrator:iPad Pros If you are a vector illustrator: Wacom Intuos Pro If you don’t have a computer: iPad or iPad Pros Sometimes I use it to sketch ideas but my final illustrations are always done with my Wacom and computer. The iPad for me is more a “fun” thing to have. If I had to choose just one I would pick my Wacom because of my illustration style.

I personally have both but use them for different things.

Single purpose: This is purely meant for drawing, unlike the iPad which can be used for games, streaming, etc.

You are not drawing directly on the screen.

Different Feel: Using a Wacom is more like using an extremely accurate and user-friendly mouse to draw.

No Procreate: Cannot use the Procreate app.

Not as Portable: The Wacom must be attached to a computer and used on a flat table.

If you are reliant on the Pen tool this is a much better option.

Vector Illustration: The Wacom is much better using apps like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator for vector illustration.

Price: Much cheaper than an iPad and the pen is included.

Resolution/File size: There are no layer or resolution size limits.

I recommend just spending a little bit more on the Pro or saving the money and just going with the regular iPad. I do not cover the Air as the price point and power seem to sit between the iPad and iPad Pro. *Note: Since this was written Apple has announced the new iPad Air that starts at $599.

Limited Resolution: Since you’re not connected to a computer you are limited in size and scale of your pieces.

Procreate is definitely more for illustration that imitates more traditional paint/pencil styles.

Adobe Illustrator: I am a vector illustrator who relies heavily on Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop which aren’t as good as iPad apps.

Price: iPads, especially the Pros are much more expensive, and the Apple Pencils are sold separately adding to the cost.

Multi-use: The iPads can also be used for other things outside of drawing, the Pros even make pretty good computer replacements.

Portability: The iPad for sure is much easier for on the go drawing and you don’t need to attach it to a computer to use.

You can also find classes, tutorials, and special add ons like brushes from teachers all over the internet to make Procreate even better. I have tried the Adobe versions and they just aren’t as user friendly.

Procreate: This is considered the best drawing app for iPad.
