I currently have SAI installed on my PC and use a mouse to create illustrations.

I don't want to master digital painting in earnest, but I am wondering if I can use ibisPaint on my iPad as a whiteboard for remote work.

So now I am wondering if I should buy the Apple Pen or the lower priced version.

- Apple Pen (2nd generation) is over 19,000 yen

- KINGONE stylus pen is less than 3000 yen

I am reluctant to buy an Apple Pen when I think that "two Apple Pens + α can buy one iPad".

In the course of my research, I have learned that the advantage of the Apple Pen seems to be pressure detection.

The ability to change between thick and thin lines with brush pressure is said to be very important for people who are into digital painting as a job or a hobby.

I understand this.

I am also currently using SAI and actually have to go back to the menu once to change the line thickness, which is "quite annoying".

So, I am now struggling.

I can continue to create pictures with my PC + SAI + mouse as I have in the past, but

"When I see my second daughter creating high quality works with her iPad, ibisPaint, and Apple Pen, I feel like competing with her"

is not true.

I, who have "zero artistic ability," can now illustrate my own columns on my own, at my own risk.

If I have a personal painting environment in front of me, I should do what I can.

Okay, let's go with the Apple Pen.

However, I should look for a "used" "first generation" (about 5500 yen).

At all times, I am a coward at the last minute.
