1. Apply a paper texture screen protector for greater precision
By applying a paper texture screen protector on your iPad or tablet, you will get the same feeling as writing on paper. This will make your drawings and notes more accurate and smudge-free. The Apple Pencil, S-Pen or other Stylus Pens slide across the display of our devices – but we are accustomed to writing on paper since an early age. These two factors are detrimental to our digital creativity, particularly when we want to make the most of the countless advantages offered by writing or drawing on a tablet. Doodroo really has something for every device: Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy TAB, Remarkable, Onyx BOOX or Microsoft Surface.
2. Prevent your pen from slipping out of your fingers ✍
Applying a paper texture screen protector to prevent the pen from sliding over the screen of your device is the first step. But how do you prevent your Pencil from slipping out of your hands? It can happen: digital pens are often thinner than we are used to, as well as slippery. Not to worry, with our Grip Holders and Apple Pencil Skins you have the solution at your fingertips! These accessories provide a better grip and increase the thickness of your pen. Your frustration will decrease, while your creativity will certainly increase! 🚀
3. Use dedicated workflow apps 💫
It is important to have a clean, organized and orderly workflow. Organize your apps into folders and use automations to achieve the perfect workflow. That way, you'll have all the apps at your fingertips at all times when you need them most.
