A few weeks ago Pogo stylus ran a competition for tablet artists and, true to form, I entered a digital painting on the last possible hour which doesn't fit into any category. Hey ho, but fun to do, even if my life is a series of progressively sillier deadlines at the moment. Regardless: I drew this as a warm up sketch: and then finished this painting which I'd been noodling around with for a while:

(Last bus home. iPad, Pogo Sketch Pro, Pogo Connect, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro).

I like Pogo styli loads. When I create a digital painting I generally hold a Stylus Sock, a Nomad and a Pogo Sketch Pro and swap between the three depending on whether I'm doing outlines, shading or colouring. Pound for pound I think the Connect is still my favourite pressure sensitive stylus - it's certainly the one which seems to know what it's doing the most - although some of my fondness might be because it was also the first... (the Wacom is also very good and the Adonit Jot Script is good, but not pressure sensitive). There are some times when I pick up a stylus with no rhyme or reason, just to draw the picture which is on my mind, and I'm never unhappy if that's a Connect or a Sketch Pro.
