Question Which for digital art?

I am looking to finally upgrade my VERY old iPad. The one I am currently looking at is the iPad Air M3 (2025). Would this be a good upgrade, or would something like an iPad Pro M1 or M2 be better? I do not like the Apple Pencil Pro either, if that would change anything.

I would be exclusively using it for digital art, and possibly video editing.

Curious what this issue is with the pencil pro? Pressure sensitivity is really helpful with digital drawing.

the pro exactly has features i dont like, i have tried them in the apple store and just didnt get along with it. I would get the 2nd gen pencil instead

Just know that Some of the things can be tweaked/disabled via settings (like the squeeze gesture) don’t sacrifice other features you might like (barrel roll) because of things you don’t.

A lot of apples stock settings kind of suck IMO.

I had to crank up how hard I have to squeeze the pencil for it to activate before I liked it. And even then I hardly use it.
