Apple Pencil Compatibility
The second-generation Apple Pencil is compatible with current iPad Pro models. You can easily determine which past models require the first-generation Apple Pencil, such as the original iPad Pro introduced in 2015. To configure it, go to the Settings on your iPad Pro, and in the search box at the top left, type “pencil.” This will surface the relevant controls for configuring the Apple Pencil.
Why Use Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro?
Using a pen on an iPad Pro would be inefficient and counterproductive. Pen marks on an iPad do not look good, and using a permanent marker on the screen would ruin the display, making it impossible to see the screen. There is no reason to use a pen to draw on your iPad, especially on the display portion of the screen.
If you have the funds, I recommend purchasing an Apple Pencil or a stylus to enhance your use of the iPad Pro instead of using your finger. A stylus is a much better option for drawing and writing, providing more precision and comfort during extended use.
I assume you are asking how to use an Apple Pencil. First, you need to synchronize the Pencil, check the battery life, and then determine which apps to test. Start with simpler apps by Adobe, such as Procreate or Adobe Draw. However, you shouldn’t shy away from more advanced apps like Sketch, Sketch Pro, ArtRage, or Inspire Pro. With the Apple Pencil, you can achieve a wide range of drawing and painting techniques, and with practice, you can become highly proficient.
How to Pair and Charge the Apple Pencil:
- Ensure the Apple Pencil is charged and paired with your iPad Pro via Bluetooth.
- Open a drawing app and press the tip of the pencil to the screen to start drawing.
Conclusion
The Apple Pencil is an invaluable tool for artists and designers looking to enhance their iPad Pro experience. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner, the Apple Pencil offers unparalleled precision and control. To get the most out of your Apple Pencil and iPad Pro setup, explore a variety of drawing and painting apps, and practice regularly to improve your skills.
