Use this checklist to build an iPad creator setup for drawing, studying, journaling, tutorials and everyday desk work.
A checklist prevents random accessory buying
It is easy to buy accessories because they look interesting. A checklist keeps the setup focused on what you actually do: draw, write, protect, watch, carry and create.
The checklist
- Protection: Choose a case that fits your iPad model and carry style.
- Pencil storage: Make sure the Apple Pencil has a safe place.
- Drawing surface: Decide whether smooth glass or paper-feel texture suits you.
- Screen angle: Use a stand or case that supports drawing and viewing.
- Shortcut control: Add a keyboard if repeated Procreate actions slow you down.
