I pick up my magic wand and say the magic words. Well, actually, it’s not a magic wand; it’s something even better—my Apple Pencil! This tool has completely transformed my experience in creating digital artwork on my iPad using the Procreate app.

When I first discovered Procreate, I liked it, but I didn’t love it. The Wacom pen tool, which was highly recommended then, didn’t meet my expectations, making my initial experience with the product somewhat disappointing. However, upon discovering the Apple Pencil, everything changed for me. It felt like something clicked inside me; little stood between me and the artwork I was creating. It felt genuine and right.

From that moment on, my style and love for Procreate flourished. This newfound enjoyment created a bit of a dilemma for me: now, when I try to create analog artwork, I instinctively use tablet gestures while drawing. I feel crazy for it, quite frankly, lol. I suppose I’m hooked on digital art, but I can say there are worse things to be addicted to.

So, whenever you feel a spark of creativity within you, a whisper of an idea longing to take form. I encourage you to seek out your tool, maybe a typewriter (did I just say typewriter?), or paint brush, musical instrument, or whatever your Apple Pencil is. Keep exploring, keep experimenting, and have fuckin fun!

I am your man, then! Let's do it - right here! Let's go to that place of "splendor in the grass"! Behold my magic wand and free your golden orbs right now! - Robin Williams - Fisher King
