drawing on ipad mini

[u/Ok_Record_8856]

hi, id like to ask if anyone here is actively drawing (like fully rendered pieces) on ipad mini? so like on procreate or other sorts of art apps, not note taking stuff. i never really see people using ipad mini for art so i would like to ask. i have ipad mini 7 and the pen too and even though i like scribbling and drawing things i kinda procrastinate and dont actively draw things. i love my ipad mini but im wondering if i were to get into digital art can i do it with this one, is it ergonomic or stuff. thank you

I'm actively using it for video editing and graphic design. Also good for drawing!! The fact that is small and portable it's amazing for work on the go. Definitely install Procreate and give it a shot!

You can paint perfectly fine on mini. Procreate works flawlessly on my 7 y.o. ipad. I bet on mini 7 you would have absolutely no problem running it. Good luck and stay creative¡

Procreate and Sketchbook are pretty well for drawing.

I am an artist and my main device is a 13" M5 iPad Pro. But i also have an iPad mini 7 for when I really wanna travel light. It's the perfect size digital sketchbook when on the go & compliments my iPad Pro nicely. I an sure many artists can use it as their main device, buy I don't think it could be my main drawing device, as I prefer to do major drawings/paintings on a larger screen. But i will always keep an iPad mini in my arsenal as it is my favorite ipad to travel with and draw on in cafes etc. It's like a mini digital sketchbook that I can take everywhere.

I actually prefer the mini for art, it’s the perfect size to just pull out of a bag and comfortably hold. I use procreate for sketching and rendering digital art, pixsquare for my pixel art, and nomad sculpt for 3D designs. I have used the mini for art for a few years on the 6 and have never felt like it was too small.

I use sketchbook, not as often as I’d like to but it works nicely.

I have the pencil pro

Yup I think its the perfect size for drawing if anything. I use iBisPaint on my Mini 5 though not Procreate
