I had a Moleskine and a pen. Now I have an iPad Mini and Procreate (plus Notability for notes). I have a metal nib and a paper-textured screen protector. Those make all the difference. An iPad with Procreate just feels natural. You slowly pick up gestures and discover nifty features, but you can also _just draw_. Drawings auto-save, and appear in a nice gallery. It feels like flipping through the page of a notebook. I can't overstate how natural the whole thing feels, especially with a nice screen protector and a metal nib. I rarely leave the house without my iPad. I use it to make the illustrations on allaboutberlin.com, and to take notes when I meet clients. By comparison, Windows drawing software required opening, editing and saving files. You could not close the app without going through every "Save changes?" dialog. The apps were made for desktop computers and had tiny icons and piss poor touch gestures. Using it just killed the buzz. I returned it after a day. What a letdown that was.
