Apple Pencil (1st Generation) - White

My boyfriend recently bought me an ipad for mothers day and ordered a 3rd party stylus to go with it. I use it mostly for illustrating and design. While I enjoyed the 3rd party stylus, I knew that it could not perform the same way an apple pencil could with the pressure sensitivity and angled strokes on the ipad. I went ahead and purchased myself an apple pencil. It is the best investment I've made so far. It came with an extra nib and a female to female connector for charging. The entire set up was easy and I was able to start drawing right away. It does feel a bit heavier than a regular pencil would, but you grow with it.

Okay, so $100 for a stylus is a little ridiculous, but I'm a professional illustrator and I can tell you that this works like a dream with the iPad Pro. Being able to draw directly on the screen rather than paper + scanner cut my work time in half. In the Procreate app I can't even believe how much this works like a real pencil (and I really like traditional media). Has made my work 100% portable - no more bottles of ink to carry around! It would be nice if the eraser end of the pencil was programmed to work like an eraser, but maybe in the next generation. Oh, and remember to turn off your bluetooth when you're not using the pencil, otherwise the pencil battery will drain overnight. But if that happens it's not a huge deal because charging for 15 seconds = 30 minutes of battery life!

This product works excellent with iPad generation 7, I highly recommend.

I am a nursing student and as you can imagine i have to take a million notes. This pencil is perfect! I can create notes using the entire rainbow all in one. I though the charging would be an issue because you have to plug it into ipad, however if my pencil is at 20% or longer it takes tops 10 minutes to fully charge!

Although I only use the pencil to take notes, I’ve seen people use it to draw beautiful pictures. So with little training I’m sure one day I’ll be able to get more use out of it.

Oh how I have waited for something like this. I have dreamed of a pen like this to do art with ever since I first saw animators using Wacom pens. Alas, Wacom is out of my budget range but this I could afford with some careful planning. It is a must have for beginning to intermediate digital artists.

It’s not magnetic, but it works with the iPad mini 5, so you actually go have to buy some protecting storage for it. Scratches easily, but overall amazing. No lagging, glides across the screen. Worth the money.

Im glad I chose this item. It works amazing! It’s so smooth, fits great in your hand. I just love how it writes.
