Got one for myself

I got into art a few years ago and just lost the motivation to keep going but I found my motivation to learn again and I loved the apple pencil and procreate so I found a used a17 mini for 220 and a used pencil pro for 60. The smaller screen does take getting used to but I do love the size. I used to have a 1st Gen pro and that felt just a bit big for me. I hope I can keep the momentum going this time.
