So you've got your tablet and your stylus: how do you choose the best drawing app? Well, for a start, you'll need to check the tool is compatible with your operating system.

It opens up immense possibilities for tweaking, editing and remixing your work, and you don't have to abandon physical processes altogether: nowadays, many illustrators combine the two with impressive results. After all, the technology has improved so much in recent years, with more sensitive touchscreens and advanced stylii such as the Apple Pencil, that digital drawing has become surprisingly close to the feel of a real pen on paper.

But if you've never even tried it, it's still worth giving a go. Ever tried drawing or painting on your phone, tablet or Chromebook? The idea may repel you if you're strictly into physical media only.
