What kinda tablet do you have currently? And do you work with a pc?

I use pc and iPad and I can say i prefer pc because I do not like procreate and use csp. Csp on iPad is a monthly payment versus the flat 50$ for pc. Monthly can be 7$-10$ roughly depending on which you choose. Procreate is 10$ flat and is a good program however if you're used to customizing your brushes or using stuff like photoshop/csp/sai you may struggle with the learning curve. I still dislike being unable to customize the brushes as much as I can with csp.

I do like the feel of the apple pencil more for sketching so I do sketching on iPad and the rest on pc now, as I use iPad primarily for writing. I did have to buy several pen holders as the small thin pencil gave me wrist cramps and they were all 10$ a pack. These are things to consider when purchasing as I don't think people realize that sometimes the accessories are more expensive, as I bought 2 cases and am looking for a 3rd as all three would allow for vastly different set ups for writing, travel drawing, and drawing in a more ergonomic position for long times.

I know this comment is long, sorry for that. There's a lot of things to consider when moving between the two! I personally love the wacom intuos pro because it has tilt function (regular intuos doesnt) and I have yet to need to replace the pen at all and I've had it for a few years. I've found some second hand for less that 300$ (normally they're 500$) on sites like eBay and mercari.

I hope this helps <3

Nonono thank you sm for the long response this helped a lot🌱🌱
I work with a huion tablet and a laptop, one of the main reasons I’d swith to an iPad is because I travel constantly and carrying my laptop and tablet around in my 1-bag-flights has been a nightmare. Specially when I want to start a 6-month trip around LATAM next january, I think an iPad is the only choice I have to keep working. 🤔
On the other hand the main reason I don’t want to switch is bc I use sai and as you said having to learn a new program might be a long and tedious ride. 😓 Even tho sai is a very simple program unlike csp and ps. And yes the accesories are SO expensive….

Tbh, the surface pro 7 is very good for your uses! My partner has a surface pro 4 and it functions a lot like an iPad while still being a windows pc! They're tpuch screen and you can remove the keyboard as it's magnetic. My partner got me an iPad since it fit my writing needs more, however I think you should check out the surface to see if it fits better! My sibling uses the surface 7 and really loves traveling with it.

I'm glad I could help! The huion brand just isn't as durable as wacom, which if you're careful is fine. Tbh I love sai and used to use it religiously until I got gifted csp XD I also had just a cracked version of sai so I was forced to use csp cause it didn't work with the new pc I had at the time

Oooh I see!! I'll check out the pros and cons of the surface pro and the ipad, thank you so so much!!!! :0
