    I am an artist and graphic designer, so I do love using my iPad Pro 10.5 for artwork, sketching and drawing.
    But definitely, it’s also a great tool for other non-drawing functions. All my note taking is done on my iPad in client meetings or for personal notes at work and freelancing at home. My personal favourite note taking app by far is Noteshelf 2. It has tons of features like custom color palettes, multiple pen sizes and highlighters. You can also create custom notebook covers, custom page backgrounds, PDF annotation, importing or pasting photos into a page and then resize and rotate for those images all the while being able to mark them up. You can export direct to Evernote or share to multiple platforms.
    Digital note taking has really changed the way I work. Good on you to point out that the Apple Pencil is not just for art.

    Just got a Apple Pencil for Christmas. So glad I found this video. Most videos that I found on the Apple Pencil were for people who like to draw they didn’t have many videos that showed you how to use the Apple Pencil if you’re not an artist.

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m definitely no artist but I did figure there would be room for then pencil in my workflow. Thank you for watching!

    Great video! It seems that you are a natural for this Chris. I like how you explain the tech with clarity and you focus directly on your points without unnecessary distractions and such. More like this!(*subscribes*)

  • @travenature
    @travenature 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You might have mentioned this if it’s the same as marking up. But I use it to pin point select text that highlighting for copy but I then hold down and drag and drop using the Apple Pencil makes it more accurate and easier when that’s your job to make invoices using the information on the table

  • @joniwalton7030
    @joniwalton7030 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love your explanations! I bought the pencil and have never used it because I’m not an artist so I didn’t know what to use it for once I got it. Now I know several things I will use it for. I use notes a lot! 🙏

    I use and love the UAG Smart Case for ipad pro. It has a nifty clip that securely holds the Apple Pencil. I’m never worried about losing it. Plus its a sturdy case without adding bulk or weight.

    Bro he says “unless there were some type of magnetic connected between the two at 6:00 but little did he know the second gen pencil would have that. I wonder if they got the idea from him... conspiracy? Great video though. I’ve been looking for one like this because I’m not an artist and all the vids were about artists using it

    Second comment; I bought the iPad and the pencil, and Luma Fusion, but I never thought about using the pencil with LF until I saw your presentation. If it weren’t for people like yourself providing new insights, I would be wasting the potential of so many devices that could have made work a lot easier. Thanks again!

      Hi Chris, great video. As an application analyst, my clientele are in and around the the OR, which means I'm there quite a bit as well. I also have a ton of meetings every week. Handwritten notes with the Pencil are a godsend for me. I use the Notes Plus app and it's been nothing short of awesome for me. Also, if you're looking for a better holder for your pencil, especially on the go, check out the Dux series of cases by STM. They're about $60 on Amazon and well worth the money. There's a really snug side holder for the Pencil, and it easily accommodates a Smart Keyboard or cover. It's perfect for me since I take a lot of walking notes. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/STM-Shell-Sleek-Apple-Generation/dp/B0733TRLMK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503973676&sr=8-3&keywords=stm+dux+case+for+ipad+pro+12.9

    I use the Logitech "Slim Combo kit" it comes with a removable keyboard, but more importantly it has a holder for the Apple Pencil... The keyboards removable so your able to work with just the backer to the Slim Combo and that has the pencil holder on it... It's a great product... kind of pricey at 159.99 or something like that... but well worth it... for my new iPad Pro 2nd Generation! I also installed the iOS 11 pre-release software... it's pretty amazing what they have going on with iOS 11... I have the 3rd installment of the pre-release... haven't found any really big bugs... a couple, but nothing that's hurting my device! Cheers!!!

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Michael Grant thanks for watching! I was staying away from that keyboard case because of how big it made the iPad, I probably should just check it out though. However I really liked the 9.7 inch Logitech create keyboard case, that also had a build in pencil holder. I wish Logitech would get back to that design. For me I usually use the canopy keyboard case while at my desk, and a Smart Keyboard cover (because it’s so thin) when I travel. I agree that iOS 11 is pretty awesome! I installed it because I’m working on a pretty big video of it.

    Your the man. I have one on the way for iPad pro 9.6”. I have big hands and am really looking forward to being able to work apps with much more control. You use and speak of it like it’s second nature. Perfect. Lots to explore, hidden things that open a whole new way of doing things. Like this video, I’ll bet you surprised yourself, much more artistic than you thought.

    Good video Chris! Fellow non-artist but pencil evangelist here.
    A couple things I wanted to add...Nebo by myscript is $3 in the App Store and does hand writing conversion to text and is really well done. I haven’t typed an email in months, I just hand write them and convert in nebo.
    Also, anyone looking for a clip for the pencil (I carry mine in my pocket) can use the clip from a Pigma Micron pen...it fits perfectly.

    Precision and Intensity of pencil is crucial for its success!

  • @amincherif3838
    @amincherif3838 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You could also use a 20-40$ pen that does everything the 100$ apple pencil does (you only don't get pressure sensitivity which is crucial for artists). Of course if you could afford the iPad pro/ iPad air then go for it, but if you're considering the cheaper iPad / iPad mini, then it makes no sense because you're paying a third of the tablet's price juste to get some fonctionalities that only artists use !
    Not a surprise how apple makes so much money. They market their products so well, it make you believe you need it when you actually don't.

I mean I understand that the Pencil is a wonderful gadget for artist and digital designers but finally I found a quick video to show me what I can do with the pencil a a non-artist :D. I actually wanted to use it for university to annotate slides and assignments in my courses, so I guess I won't regret the pencil arriving tomorrow. Thank you for your review and keep up the good work :D

    also stylus's in general help people with dexterity issues, as it's easier to hold/ manipulate a pen/pencil, that to use ones clumsy fingers!, esp when accuracy is required, like typing numbers and passwords, or the screen navigation ( far too easy to tap or double tap with hands, or to swipe by accident!).

    Great comprehensive video thanks. I've been using the 53 pencil due to my iPad Air not being compatible with the Apple Pencil. It's ok but not as good as the Apple Pencil. I'm trying to convince myself to upgrade the iPad ! Incidentally Kavaj do great leather iPad cases with Apple Pencil holders.

    • @ChrisLawley

    Hi Chris, Thanks for the very good quality Review on the Apple Pencil n I can't agree more that the storage of the pencil is a bugger since Apple did not think to provide a pen loop/magnetic connector ! You are clear to understand but in the future could you please activate Captions so I can watch your videos with subtitle n don't miss a word - Much appreciated.

    @MacMobile 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I wish Apple would incorporate their OS X systemwide handwriting recognition utility called Ink into the iPad. If I could write and have the iPad convert it to text, that would be faster than typing for me.

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +MacMobile Services that would be really cool!

    • @MacMobile
      @MacMobile 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. I know about the Nebo application. It's just that Apple makes strange decisions on what features they put into their products. For example, there is no calculator or weather applications in the iPad. If Apple is going to sell a Pencil, then it should not only work for drawing but it should also work for writing as well, converting handwriting into text systemwide built-in with no additional apps necessary.

    • @VectorGaming4080
      @VectorGaming4080 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      MacMobile Services Try ‘MyScript - Stylus’ in the App Store. It replaces your standard on-screen keyboard with a line for writing and does amazing handwriting recognition that it converts to text in real time while you’re writing in any application. It’s really amazing.

    You can also use it to look up words in languages that use different alphabets, like chinese characters or russian or whatever. You might be able to copy the letters with a pencil but not type them to look them up in a dictionary.

    @Organisedvicar 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    thanks so much for the informative content. This video came up on my recommended list so know I'm a bit late. I have been using the pencil for quite some time. However, you did show me some things I hadn't realised for notes. The AHA moment came when you showed the pen loop. I have a spare one of these I've had for a couple of years so now I know exactly where its going! Those things are next to impossible to remove so like you, I don't like sticking things on my devices but this is the ONE exception. Thanks again. PS I hadn't seen the desk stand before so off to look for one.

    Thanks for a great video, definitely one of the most informative videos I’ve watched! Your concentration on the content and information in the video was much more helpful compared to others who focus just on the the aesthetic of their video. Thanks for sharing great apps and accessories that help!

    Hi brilliant, really clear non geeky and informative! Did you find the link you mentioned whilst suggesting the pen loop?

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I put a link to it in the description. Thank you for watching!

  • @shalashaska615

    Just a thought but when you mentioned the pencil rolling away it reminded me of why the pencils I prefer don’t roll away and are very tactile. I didn’t choose then but they don’t roll away. The Norris Staedtler B I think they where called. It was German and there should probably be a h in that spelling.

  • @plethoracleSENTIENT
    @plethoracleSENTIENT 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great points to bring up! Video was nice quality production too. I think even for the non-artist, there are some apps for coloring that stays in the lines. I’d say more of a stress relief or time killer, but still a nice feature.

    I have a pen holder that goes on the smart keyboard case. Works nicely. So far I use the pencil in Affinity Photo. I tried to use it more when taking notes but I can just type way faster and it's much neater, kinda feels like writing notes with it, is just finding a reason to use the pencil, unless you write faster or better than you type. I do like to mark up screen shots and things like that, articles, etc in Evernote.

    • @ChrisLawley
      @ChrisLawley  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +nagol5178 do you have a link to the pen holder? For me handwriting notes just helps me write without distraction. Plus I just enjoy handwriting notes.

    • @nagol5178
      @nagol5178 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, here is the link, it goes around the part of the Smart Keyboard that doesn't affect anything, like not the part where it folds out or anything, so I don't ever notice it. I do like to write handwritten for serious study but for me that goes to paper journals. I do like to use the pencil as a stylus because navigating the Ipad seems more fun with it than my fingers on a lot of apps.

      Handwriting is better for absorbing the content, in case you're a student and stuff, or when you have to add graphics, draw tables and stuff like that on your notes.

    Chris, I'm addicted to the game "8 Ball Pool", which I currently play on my iPad Air 2. - I use my index finger to control aiming the cue and then again for adjusting the amount of spin and force needed for each shot. - Of course in time the screen will get dirty/sticky, making play much more difficult to be quick and precise. - In your opinion, would an iPad Pro/Pencil be a good option for me to consider? Thank You - RYR

      +RollYourRock So I played four rounds, two with the pencil two with out, and the Apple Pencil does help! Aiming the cue is so much better with the Pencil. Plus you got me addicted to a new game! Lol Hope this helps!

    • @RollYourRock
