Finally, a review from a pro user, not a pro reviewer. 👏

What a refreshing change to see a KZfaqr do a video in a nononsense professional fashion. No long tease, no long irrelevant titles, no desperate plea for subscription and likes; just gets on with the job and gets to the point. Very nicely done indeed.

You, sir, are the first person to properly explain the purpose of Apple Pencil Hover and why this feature is so essential to any artist considering an iPad. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful approach to explaining the practical applications of this technology.

the story telling, the ability to engage without a cut to b-roll every 3 seconds and the articulation of what you want to say, in my opinion this is peak content. It has been so long since I have spent 17 minutes on a youtube video without wanting to click away or go down to comments/ search for the next video AND finish watching it without feeling any regret or guilt, actually feeling satisfaction even. This was great!

Definitely a big step for artists! It happens that art sometimes makes me feel trapped sitting on the chair in my room for too long so it sounds like promising solution to that. Also I really need to point out the amount of care you've put in the video production. My eyes were just stuck! The room looks very cozy and magical and the animations present the information in really good way.

I havent tried the M2, but ever since I got my first iPad Pro 9.7 with the Apple pencil, I instantly stated that if I want anyone to manufacture a pen display which would probably cost a fortune I'd happily pay for , it has to be Apple so I've been counting too for so long. The brightness and clarity is always top notch and the Apple pencil has always felt the easiest to draw with. It just *works*

I am a software developer, and the way of work you are describing has been available to us for decades. It is so insane that just now artists received the same opportunity! But anyway, happy for you :)

So glad that someone did an iPad pro review from a painter's point of view! Great video, Adam! Thank you so much

Wow. You are a great Storyteller! I just caught myself listening to you telling this story for 15min now. So great to see that you are here and that there are people and channels like this!, Love it!

I love the fact that you actually tried the use cases. Kudos. Finally somebody who understands why the hover feature is finally the game changer we've been waiting for. The last hover device I had was my Samsung Series 7 Slate.

Loved the buildup, the story and your history with drawing tablets and tech made the conclusion to your review so enjoyable. Fantastic video -

The effects on this video are so well done, it's super impressive. Would be really interested if you had a video on what your editing process looks like, or if you're working with someone to handle the editing.

I’m glad you did this review, as artist I needed a professional artist to review the new Ipad, because all other reviews are from tech pov and I did not needed that. So grateful you did this great review and thank you. Good vibes

You are such a beautiful person. So full of passion and we'll spoken! Glad I landed on this as I am now subscribed and look forward on binging your content in the coming weeks

As someone who is newly getting into digital art and painting, this helped me a lot in narrowing down my choices for what I want to get to start my hobby. It was to the point and gave me a lot of information in a short amount of time. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽

The way you talked about it, the context of an artist was exactly what I needed, now I think this is the device to go for, hope I can get mine very soon!

Thank you for the expertise you have to share with us!

Thank you again for this really nice video Adam! Your art and tech reviews are always relaxing bubbles for me!

yes, the ergonomics of the ipad for drawing is heavenly.

literally just came across your profile looking forward to buying my first ipad as an upcoming designer and omg you sold this lol.. thank you for making it so easy and for talking through your history and experiences with these devices. THANK YOU THANK YOU.. Definitely earned yourself a fan here!

This validates my need to update from my 1st gen ipad pro. As soon as I can afford to finance one I will! Thank you, Mr Duff!

The video effects are insane, great video Adam. Looking forward to ordering the 2022 iPad Pro, I currently own the 2017 model. I’m excited!

Thank you Adam! Always nice to hear you prof opinion.

Much respect. My favorite part of this entire review is your passion for your craft.

Thanks 🙏 for this review!!! This helped me a lot!

Wow. Best review ever. Really was hoping to hear someone from this perspective. I was totally one of those guys bringing the earlier cintiqs to the cafes and even workshops. It was so forced. Thanks for this review!

Can’t wait to get one! Appreciate your breakdown Adam!

Thank you! I’m an architect and I agree. I upgraded from the 2018 pro and wowowowow am I shocked! Beautiful piece of kit!

Beautiful! Finally! Thank you for making this

I'm not an artist, and I wondered why this was noted as a big deal in the notes on the release. I appreciate you showing the function on the separate screen; it makes complete sense and it is literally a wacom replacement and a cintiq replacement in one (aside from size). Also, your vid is high quality, very cool.

Hands down, what a beautiful review! Thanks buddy!

I draw on my iPad Pro 2018 every day. 👏👏👏 thanks for this awesome review of a great product for those of us on the never ending quest for perfect workflow and conventional pen display.

I’m 37 now and my dad is a graphic designer and has been since before I was born in 1986. It’s amazing how fortunate we are these days. It look such a deeper level of love and commitment back in the day. Even the things you are describing. It’s cool to see how much you appreciate the technology we now have. Great content man. You have a new subscriber.

This is the video I was looking for :) Thank you !

great taste in editing and also well spoken, congrats, this was helpful and beautifully done

Awesome video. Love the passion and professionalism. You finally pushed me of the cliff to purchase this setup.

I am excited for this one ! I have the 2020 11" pro and this I used to draw on my XP-PEN 14" Pen Display is this is exactly what I used the most. It interesting how much such a small detail can be a game changer.

Really great video! Thanks!

Your setup is very cozy, lovely to just chill and take in the information in this video!

Loved the story form of your video. Nice

Love the history, knowledge and artist story you share, great video!!!😮

Thank you!!!!! This will be my next iPad upgrade! I paint on my iPad pro from 2017 and completely understand where you are coming from!

Thank you so much for this, just placed an order for this iPad Pro. I was a bit laid back with the reviews but this vid sealed my decision I'd really like to get back into digital art, it's been a while

My exact take on this Ipad. Spot on mate. Love this Ipad!

I just picked up the new iPad Pro a couple of days ago, started playing with it, mainly grabbed it because of your videos on it and my interest in doing some digital art on it to have more than just paper to work with.

Well informative. I appreciate how organically you talk. You're not pretentious.

Fully agree that rapid dynamic adjustability for the brush size is a deal-breaker essential functionality. It's reassuring to have an accomplished artist confirm on that view I have had myself for years. On a side note, being able to watch Jenna Marbles with your son while getting work done... is a yet another level of accomplishment in life.

Best take on this I’ve seen. Thank you for the background. It’s really cool to hear from someone who uses the Apple Pencil as an artist.

I love this... Fascinating video. Thanks for sharing!

great review, love your studio!

I love my new M2, it’s a huge step up from the old 2017 model I had. My favorite setup is plopping it into my sketchboard pro and drawing on my couch with my dog snoozing next to me.

Thank you SOOO much for making this video and introducing me to Art Studio Pro. I have been a traditional materials artist forever (oils, watercolor, gouache, pens & inks, and anything else I can get my hands on). Seriously. I am sure I am older than you by far. I also adopted all the iPad Pros hoping they would be my bridge to being able to do more than just drawing on a digital medium. I have tried all the apps but mostly used Procreate. It never took me fully over the hump of the hand’s natural ability to apply pressure and the mind’s training to get the results I wanted digitally. I too traded in my last iPad Pro and upgraded to the M2 (even though I didn’t need more power, I needed the iPad to respond to my hands (aka the Pencil, my “brush). Then I tried it with Procreate and was underwhelmed. A few days ago I saw your KZfaq post and today I watched it. OMG. You described so succinctly what I have been experiencing but couldn’t explain it. My goal for the new year (set about a week ago) is Be Creative. More Creative. Yeah I am a creative and, I AM creative but I fail to BE creative as much as I should. Life gets in the way and I don’t have patience to teach a program or application what I need to make art. I can just do it on paper, or canvases, lunch box tops, or any other object that will accept paint or inks. It was easier to just fall back on the old material standbys. But you are right. Hover and using it on Art Studio Pro has finally ticked most of the boxes for making art I love, not just the 2D digital so many have adopted. It has become satisfying and I can take it everywhere (a huge plus). Thank you for posting your honest and to the point review. My new year will now not only Be Creative, I will finally get over roadblock and grow my talent to include digital art. (At lease that is the plan. Thank you. And Have a wonderful 2023.

Thanks so much for PRO experience advice , this is so practical for a learning novice as my self .

I spent most of my day today just researching ipads in preparation for getting one soon hopefully this year, and I stumbled across your channel. This video is such a gem. Thanks for sharing your experienceas an artist! OMG! I totalled agree, Vaati's voice is so therapeutic. ❤ keep up the good work sir 👏 Subbed

You convinced me and I dove in bought my first ipad, got the new pro with m2. I love it

This was so helpful!!! Thank you

Great review dude. You are good at this.

I watched this a while ago and today i’m watching again from my own m2 ipad pro❤ it arrived yesterday 🎉 kinda funny how i got recomended your video again right after i bought it

Love how the colour of the Typo used matches the background lights

This was a great video, thank you!😊

Lots of excellent points made! And they are relevant to video editors like myself. Once DaVinci Resolve was released for iPad, I immediately purchased an M2 iPad Pro just for Resolve and it works amazing. I can fly through 4K timelines with my BlackMagic speed editor so fluidly. And hover is also useful in that it helps preview effects and fonts before commitment. The M2 iPad with the right apps is amazeballs 👌

Thanks for the great review.

You, sir, are a brilliant storyteller. Loved this review.

great refreshing review. Thanks!

Your video made a big difference to shape my thoughts about the Ipad pro 22. Thanks a bunch.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Well done. What an epic honest helpful review

I just got my M2 Pro a couple days ago. I got mine for daily use and casual sketching/art. And….I just love it. I was using a mini for a LONG time. I’m glad I upgraded.

Loved the very informative video😊bravo 👏🏾👏🏾I was very impressed!!

Excellence analysis and thougths, Thank you very much for sharing!

Thank you for this!!!

That was a great insight, so refreshing.

So refreshing to see a review from a digital artist~ as a fashion illustrator ,i've been working using ipad pro from 2018,. Need to save up to upgrade ~

Excellent review. Very professionally produced.

Great video Adam, thank you

That was fun. Amazing story.

Good times. I can relate to the cafe experience which I do on my standard ipad. Thanks for pointing out this perspective, maybe I will now look at the iPad pro.

New to your channel!! I appreciate your take on the latest IPad!! More motivated to upgrade!!!

I just recently got the new 2022 iPad and I am loving it!

Great video, very informative 👍🏼

Best, best, best review I've seen on the Pro. As a side note, how refreshing to have someone give some perspective on how far, and quickly, technology has come and how incredible it is that we can benefit today in previously unthinkable ways!

This man is passionate

Fantastic video, super interesting!!!

Very interesting take from a pro user not a tech reviewer. I really appreciated your take on the new iPad pro. It was for a very specific use case but a very valid use case for this device.

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!

Love the channel. Great video!

been debating getting an ipad for artwork. this video has convinced me to. great video!

So relaxing to watch your review hehe. Now I’m so psyched to get my own iPad pro 😭

i've been considering buying this for a while. you've convinced me. i'm getting it for animation!

Awesome video and analysis. 👏👏👏

Great review!!!!!❤😊

That was awesome. I do line art but man was that video entertaining! You got yourself a subscriber.

This sound very encouraging!

absolutley agree my friend!!! I have used iPad Pro for so many draw as profesional illustrator!! 3" generation 12,9 and keep working as new one. Congratulation for your amazing channel and art!!! warm regards!!

Great video, Adam! One of many you have made. Loved getting your perspective on an iPad as a drawing tablet. In many ways, it is exactly what I dreamed about as a drawing tablet when I was younger. If the next studio display had pen support - it would be a game changer.

wow, superb, Finnaly someone. thanks bro, now i'll buy it directlly after end of this video. thanks man.

Thank you so much, this was most informative and interesting......subscribed.

Thank you! Great Review! Very Helpful!:)

Awesome! Thank You!!

AWESOME REVIEW. GOD BLESS. THANKS. 😇

Already got one but your feelings toward this device only confirmed mine. I kept watching videos that would poop on this device left and right but I still loved it. I kept thinking, "maybe only an artist can understand why this thing is so amazing...?"
