Apple pencil is better than alternatives

I can see your wife has never actually used a good drawing tablet. Wacoms beat even the latest iPad for drawing and are a tiny fraction of their cost.

Aren't wacoms PC-accessories? She wants an independent tablet for drawing at the park and whatnot.

She has a wacom tablet for home though, but she's never gotten the hang of it. Maybe I'll push her to try again now that she's more familiar with digital art.

There's the MobileStudio Pro and Wacom is hardly the only brand. There's also the Huion Kamvas Studio. Both are cheaper than an iPad Pro and both come in multiple sizes. I'm not sure about Huion but Wacom has had rotating barrel sensors on the pen for almost a decade.

Cool, I'll put that on the list next time we shatter a screen or something.
