Each has their advantages and disadvantages. SketchbookPro is extremely full-featured and lets you save in Photoshop format with layers for later tweaking. Paper provides the most fluid drawing experience I have ever experienced. Paper also provide a standard "brush" that makes every stroke you draw just feel artistic. Anyway, here's a recent sketch of a young woman on the Greenline -- this one is called Orange Girl on the GreenLine. I really like her sneakers.  You can [see more of my sketches here](https://more.gilroederstudio.com/ipad-sketches/) Comments are welcome and ideas for other drawing programs and devices are always appreciated. ![orange girl on greenline](https://more.gilroederstudio.com/hs-fs/images/orange_girl_on_greenline.jpg?width=451&height=601&name=orange_girl_on_greenline.jpg) #### Add a comment Name Email Website Comment Subscribe to Follow Up Comments for this Post ### Recent posts ## [![Yes!
