Thanks much! You were one of the people I considered asking directly. And
I will check in with Glendon as well.
Most sincerely,
Sara

Hi Sara,
One could use an ipad as a tool to make illustrations and for example
Glendon Mellow does that, but I bet he doesn't only uses an ipad. With
the right pen (

Stylus 2 and the right apps (Photoshop or Bamboo paper for example) you
can go a long way, especially if you are making art that is for web
publication. But for other stuff I would go for a pc or a mac along with
a good tablet. if she wants to have the experience of drawing on the
screen itself she could also look for a cintiq companion. the first
generation is cheaper now and the second generation is becoming more and
more promising as a full fledged solution (1st gen:

I have an ipad now for 2 years and although I can illustrate on it I find
myself not doing it: it's too small and I don't have the control my
cintiqs are giving me. But for a real experience with illustrating on
ipad ask Glendon.

Dear Folks,
One of my students asked if I use or know of anyone who uses an app on
their iPad to do illustration work. I replied that I knew of people who
liked to take the iPad on trips and sketch with it, but I was not aware
that anyone produced scientific illustrations for publication on their
iPads. She is teetering on the brink of buying an Intuos pad, which is
what I would suggest.
How would you have advised her (or me)? Am I so "last
generation" in my thinking?
Most sincerely,
Sara
