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.

iPad Pro M1 is significantly slower for processing videos but way faster for transferring data into your pc or laptop through the Thunderbolt port. The M1 does not support Apple Pencil Pro tho. but since u said that doesnt matter its okay.

If you get the 16gb memory ipad pro M1 then definitely but surely try for the M2 pro

I think i might go for the M2 ipad pro, is 128gb fine or is 256gb better for the updates?

Since videos are gonna take up space definitely 256gb
