Tools?

I like using pen and sketchbook paper (blank, no lines). I have one of those 3-in-1 printers to scan pages into the computer. Colours are usually added in Photoshop, but I also occasionally use watercolour pencils (as watercolours, ie. wet) and grey brushpen.

Recently I forced myself to try iPad doodling. It works fine, even when using only my finger, but zooming is essential. Apps I may recommend are Penultimate (sadly no zoom ability), Bamboo Paper and Inkflow (also there’s Inkflow Plus, the paid version. Inkflow free has no colours, so sometimes I colour the doodles in Procreate). I’ve also heard of Adobe Ideas and many other paid apps but I haven’t tried them yet because I’m looking towards free options for now. 🙂 The main convenience in using an iPad is with sharing the notes online. Suuuuuuuper easy compared to manual scanning and editing. :nod: Perhaps once I’ve gained more experience in iPad doodlenoting I’ll write a dedicated blog post about it, inshaAllah. But in the meantime you can hear from others who are more experienced in this, eg. Sacha Chua, Linda Saukko-Rauta and Rachel Smith.

I’m always a learner and always trying to improve. Pray for me and others who are trying to use what we have for the benefit of the world! Thank you!
