Procreate is one of the apps that Today at Apple sessions introduce to iPad owners. It is digital art on steroids, especially when paired with the Apple Pencil.
Leaving myself a note here about Art With Flo YouTube Channel or her website. where you will find tutorials building skills from beginner to intermediate to advanced. Some tutorials are free; come with brushes, color palettes and notebook.
Forget that you've used an iPhone for years! Now that we have iOS 18.2 and Apple Intelligence, it is time to erase our past experience with the Camera app and the Photos app. Especially the Photos app!
Our muscle memory is not helpful now. How we interacted with our devices is ancient history. Put those visual clues out of your mind. Look at the app as if 1) this is your first time seeing it ... touch every button; 2) you are a 7 year old child exploring this screen for the first time -- swipe up, down, left and right.
You know, "touch every button" is not a complete thought. There are gestures that have become more useful and the "when and where" to use gestures is not ... intuitive. Yet. We will build new habits this semester.
The Apple Tips app refreshes in many ways. The brief content is updated with an iPad/iOS update and the tip categories switch out content. Two important features are here: 1) easy access to the User Guide for devices you own, 2) Setup Checklist to review features to take full advantage of your device. There is an item covering Gestures, but it is missing an important skill. Look for yourself.
