Sketching with Astropad

Did a little cartoon stick figure test with an an app called Astropad.

Seems Astropad is trying to be a pen input monitor though uses your iPad, a free iOS app, and a 50 dollar desktop app that all work together to accomplish the task of competing with a Cintiq.

I’ll have to pick up a fresh quadruple-A battery for my Wacom iPad stylus to see how the pressure sensitive input works tomorrow. Even without pressure sensitive input, I’m impressed enough to keep playing with this setup at least through the 7 day trial period.
