Hardware
When it comes to digita art, I haven't found anything better than the iPad and Apple Pencil. Last year, I upgraded to a 13-inch iPad Air M3 and love the large screen, which gives me more room for detailed sketches and smoother gesture controls compared to my old 9.7-inch iPad Pro. The M3 chip eliminates brush lag in drawing apps, making the overall experience feel more natural.
