Had to choose between a Wacom tablet and an iPad for sketching on the go in Seattle last month

I went with the iPad because of Procreate and it's been great for quick thumbnails at coffee shops, but the pen feel is totally different from my Cintiq at home - anyone else struggle with switching between screen types?

Double down on that muscle memory thing because it's REAL weird how your hand just FORGETS how to draw when you switch. I had a whole week where my lines were just noodles on the iPad because my brain was still expecting the Cintiq's surface drag. Procreate is sick for quick ideas though, so I just started treating the iPad like a completely different tool instead of a portable Cintiq. Now I use way looser strokes on the iPad and save the tight stuff for the Cintiq, which actually made both of them better somehow.

Oh man, switching between screen types is like trying to write with a pen that suddenly has the grip of a greased pig. I keep jabbing at my iPad like it owes me money after using a Cintiq all week. The muscle memory just laughs at you.
