The iPad Creator Setup Checklist

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.
