If so, what are you using? I’ve read a bunch of reviews, but would love any personal insight my fellow doper artists may have.

(And feel free to post links to creations, if you care to share!)

I have three styli: a Pogo Sketch Pro Stylus, an Adonit Jot Pro and a Nomad Brush FLeX Long Tip.

If I had purchased the Nomad first I would only have one:D

The Nomad is superb! It works perfectly for painting or drawing. The balance and weight are perfect. It is shaped like a paint brush. I use it with ArtStudio, ArtRage, Procreate and my new favorite app Wurm.

The Adonit is OK for drawing but not so good with painting and it is larger almost the size of a Sharpie.

The Pogo is awful. I only use it in place of my finger for flipping through pages or with some games.

Hope this helps. I too read tons of reviews; but I still made mistakes with my purchases.:smack:

There’s been at least one New Yorker cover done on a iPhone
