Lately I’ve been really enjoying drawing on my iPad, Last week I bought inkPad, really nice - the developers are obviously AI users,  they’ve boiled AI functionality down to the drawing part (which IMHO is what Adobe should have done when they released InDesign) anyway really decent app, drop export, multiple formats (most notably svg,png,pdf), dropbox support. But the best thing about it is the pen tool - took me less than 5 seconds to wrap my head around the subtleties of drawing corner and curved points with my finger tips. All the spots above are 100% straight from inkPad, although I could easily edit them in AI if I needed too. I haven’t used inkPad for any client work yet, but that’s only a matter of time. Anyhow check it out, it’s 5 bucks.
