Exactly..it's just a brand...whatever the brand is, the skills are more important right? Hehe...
As for iPad + Apple Pencil...it's not in my wishlist for now since i don't like to do outdoor sketches while on-the-go...but maybe will get one if needed...haha
Totally.. No skills.. no cool arts .. whatever the size of your cintiq or ipad ;D
I bought the new surface pro and eventhough drawing on the screen isnt super (at least for me) the thing is powerful enough to easily run photoshop and hook up an intuos so its a great mobile workstation which i occasionally need for in house gigs :)
