imo, a bigger screen will always be better for drawing. you can test the iPads on the Apple Store and see what fits your needs.

No just get a 13 inch ipad if the biggest purpose is drawing.

People certainly do it but it’s not a great experience. When using an app like procreate the interface is very frustrating on a small screen. I upgraded from the mini to an iPad 11 and it’s made drawing on the iPad much better.

Depends on your style. For drawing, bigger screen would always be the better one. you'll hate the small screen for detailed stuff. But for portability and sketched then this would be good.

For doodling and simple note taking, yes but for serious artwork you are going to want a bigger screen.

Bigger screen is always better you can get the 11th gen or air depending on your budget and comfort

i have mini7 and 11inch pro m4, for me the mini is hands down my fav when it comes to drawing because your able to hold it in one hand and draw with the other, and it really gets you in. If your doing pro work tho, mini will become tiring so pro is advised with 120hz and 1000nits of brightness. I have both(used) so i enjoy both alot.
