Great works of art are created every day on the iPad Pro using the Apple Pencil, by artists like me and countless others--works that are freely visible on the Procreate software forums. And the majority of our works show a much higher degree of mastery of using both the application and the Pencil than what is featured here.
I just do not see why Mr. Colombo's creation merits extra attention simply because he happens to work for the New Yorker.
This is the third online publication I have come across in the past few days touting this "news" item as if it was some kind of groundbreaking artistic achievement when in fact I wonder what took so long--considering how long the iPad Pro, Procreate and the Apple Pencil have all been on the market.
My final point is that though Mr. Colombo's work has merit and is a compelling illustration the portfolios of works created by myself and other talented artists, using the exact same tools Mr. Colombo employed, truly far outshine this one--but because we don't have the New Yorker associated with us there are too many readers left to believe that what is featured here is among the best an artist can do on the iPad Pro.
