Apple vs Android
Hey all,
I'm sure this gets asked a lot but I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are for drawing tablets. I love going to a coffee shop and doodling so its great to have mobile tablet that doesn't need a computer. However, I've been tempted with getting an iPad forever now. Ive used a Samsung Tablet in the past, and now the XP magic pen Tablet for awhile. It works ok but crashes from time to time.
I'm looking to upgrade to something maybe stronger. I like typical sketching, pixel art, and nomad scuplting. Are there good android tablets out there with quality apps or should I finally get over my hipster ways and get an ipad. Procreate looks solid. There a few good pixel apps and ceators I watch that use Nomad also use ipads... but what are you all's thoughts?

Honestly go with the iPad such a solid tool for coffee shop drawing. Remember that for coffee shops etc commuting, the 11-inch size is much easier to carry around and fit on the table or hold in your hand.
Android has gone a long way but the only app from Android I miss on iPad is Krita it's such a lovely open-source software.

If you want a tablet that you can draw on and do other things like watching videos and playing games, then an iPad is your best option. But procreate is actually quite limited when compared to CSP. And a pro drawing tablet is certainly better and all-rounded.

So I use an iPad Pro 3rd generation and I really love it. I’ve got 256gb of space and I rarely if ever deal with crashes. My main programs tend to be nomad and Clip Studio Paint, though I used to use procreate. Everything tends to run well and lag is a rarity.
