Finally got my iPadPro and Procreate (thanks so much for the helpful suggestions from the group before my purchase). In thinking about a recent addition to the extended family, I started wondering what a baby might think and came up with this.

@aleksey I like this a lot. I love all the detail and the gnomes quaffing that big DRINK are adorable.

Hi, @Art-of-B @inkandspatter @jimsz @rcartwright
Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. For some reason, I don't have/can't find the "pair with" area but I did "look" in the General iPadPro area -- really didn't change anything -- and all of a sudden it started working again! Don't know what changed.

Sorry for the short exasperation fuse -- thought I was maybe too out-of-touch with this "swipey" stuff but now have fooled with it for several minutes and even tried sketching out the "emotion" I felt - an Angrinch!

This looks like it will be really fun. Thanks for your help. The people in this group are SO nice.

After a discussion a few months back, I was convinced by comments that ProCreate/iPadPro was the way to go. As I mentioned, I am a dinosaur as far as "swipe" and other things since I just have a TracPhone, use Photoshop on a PC, usually work in watercolor, pencil, etc.

So, I took the deep breath before the plunge a few days ago and bought a 12.9 iPadPro (latest gen -- whatever that is) and an Apple Pencil. I had a friend help me buy/download the Procreate app. I opened Procreate and we fooled around with the pen and gestures which worked fine then.

Now this morning, I have tried for a couple of hours to get the Apple Pen to work and get nothing.

I went to Procreate's Preferences but there is no "pick Apple Pencil or Gestures" just Gesture Control (no pencil there either) and various other settings. I've gone online and the suggestions there are for "Preferences" and then picking the pencil -- but that doesn't show up for me. Now I am super bummed out and wondered if I made the right decision.

I checked and the battery charge for the Pencil is 100% and -- not sure why -- at times I can draw with my fingers but that's not why I bought this.

Have any of you run into this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated. If not, do you know if these things can be returned if you've already entered your personal info?

Although it is November, my idea for "SLOW" borrows from another month. I thought of the old saying "Slow as Molasses ... in January" and used it here. Hope that works.

Wow! Thanks so much, @Jake-Parker. I know I've got a lot to learn but I appreciate that I got the concept right. Everyone's work here is so amazing.

Here's my Misunderstood Monster. It did not come here to eat people. It came for the candy!

I love Fall. Here's my take on it. Getting an iPad later this week so this is still drawing, watercolor, and scanning in.

Hi, @eli As long as folks are willing to share their experiences, I'm ready to learn. Glad this is helpful for you, too!
