If you do a lot of calligraphy, iPads make it much easier to get the lettering right especially in apps such as Procreate.Pinch to zoom and rotate on the iPad is a great feature for artists. With a drawing tablet, you tend to rely more on deleting lines using Ctrl-Z until you get them right whereas an iPad allows you to flesh out lines and detail more naturally by zooming in and rotating a sketch until it’s just right. This kind of flexibility simply isn’t possible with a drawing tablet. Pinch to zoom and two finger rotation is for example is extremely useful on an iPad.

From unlocking your iPad to drawing in an app like Procreate, you can be drawing in literally seconds. You can start drawing on an iPad immediately compared to a drawing tablet.
