Apple Pencil opens up an entirely new iPad experience, enabling you to draw, annotate and handwrite with precision. Here are some key tips and tricks that will ensure you make the most of it.
Pressure sensitivity and tilting enable Apple Pencils to behave just like traditional pencils, which makes shading much simpler - something which will add depth and dimension to your drawings and sketches.
1. Draw Like a Pro
No matter your skill level or experience level, there's always something new to learn about Apple Pencils. From sketching to doodling and annotating documents on your iPad screen, this handy pen comes equipped with features designed to make life easier than ever - check out this helpful list for tips and tricks you should be aware of to elevate your skills with your Pencil!
Start out by using your Apple Pencil to sign PDF documents on an iPad. Just tap on the pencil icon in the lower-right corner, select Signature from the list of options and draw away! Remember: practice makes perfect. Drawing frequently will only help to sharpen your skills!
When it comes to drawing straight lines, Apple Pencil has a unique tool in its arsenal for you: the Ruler tool. Located within the Tools section of iPad's menu, this handy ruler offers extra assistance by acting like a traditional ruler with additional magical properties.
Apple Pencils make for an awesome tool when used digitally to shade drawings! Simply tilt it to apply pressure like you would when shading with real pencils for more realistic sketches that add depth.
2. Trace Like a Pro
An iPad can be an indispensable resource, both at work and play, but if you own an Apple Pencil of any generation it becomes even more functional. Allowing users to sketch, doodle, annotate and handwrite on any app with its stylus is indispensable for many iPad owners.
To trace like an expert, use apps with layers and blending options that enable you to easily create complex compositions while easily correcting mistakes. Also watch video tutorials online dedicated to tracing as they offer new techniques and tips.
Tracing can be made easier when using a grid to break down your image into more manageable sections and ensure accurate proportions and capture as many details possible in your artwork.
Double Tap gesture can also help set an alternate action for your pencil's button. To do so, open up the Settings app and navigate to Pencil Gestures option; here, you can choose different trigger actions (such as quick note creation or switching to last used drawing tool ). Alternatively, if accidental triggers become an issue more often than desired - or switch it completely off altogether!
3. Drag and Drop Like a Pro
No matter your artistic or business goals, the iPad Pro 12.9 5th Generation with Apple Pencil offers powerful solutions that can elevate both creativity and productivity. Here are some essential techniques for using your stylus:
Un one of the lesser-known features of iPad is its ability to draw straight lines with Apple Pencil. Simply open the Notes app, place your Apple Pencil on top of the ruler to enable its feature, then drag to create straight lines.
Handwriting with your Apple Pencil in Mail can automatically convert to typed text and sketch drawings can also be added directly into email drafts. GoodNotes allows users to edit any handwritten text that has been converted to typed text by double tapping on individual words and selecting "Edit Text".
Apple Pencil makes it possible to quickly drag multiple items at the same time. To do this, tap and hold an object you wish to drag before tapping on another photo or file you want added into the drag session. This will animate all items over to your first finger so they can then be moved where you need them - a useful trick when dealing with files in Slide Over or Split View mode.
4. Swype Like a Pro
The iPad screen wasn't intended to accommodate finger tapping, yet both Apple Pencils allow you to control apps with precision that's simply not possible with fingers alone. Sketching, doodling, taking notes or annotating documents - whether its sketching, doodling, taking notes or annotating documents; with either Apple Pencil it makes tapping buttons or dragging sliders easier than using fingers!
Many drawing apps support layering and blending tools that enable artists to create realistic textures. To use these features, gently touch the tip of your Apple Pencil against the screen while drawing or writing, and after a short moment it will become a cursor or preview of brushes you can select. Using this feature minimizes guesswork in terms of positioning your brush or line for greater results.
iPadOS features the Scribble feature, enabling you to use an Apple Pencil in any text field - such as search boxes in Safari or message fields in Messages. To use it, navigate to Settings and activate Scribble; once activated, whenever you write in any app that supports handwriting your words will convert to typed text instantly and editable as you type, such as by deleting individual letters or striking through individual ones.
