On my YouTube videos about the best iPad for Procreate and digital art, I get this question all the time: Which iPad Pro size is better for digital art, the 11-inch or 13-inch?
So, I decided to make this post to help everyone out!

Which Size iPad Pro is Best for Drawing?
Some people like small ones for quick sketches, others prefer big pages for more space.
To make it easier, I took photos comparing iPads to common sketchbook sizes.

- iPad Pro 11-inch (M4, M5), iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3, M4), iPad 11 and iPad 10 – Feels like an A5 sketchbook. Lighter, easier to carry, great for on-the-go drawing
- iPad Pro 13-inch (M4, M5), iPad Air 13-inch (M2, M3, M4) – Closer to A4. More space to work, better for detailed illustrations, but less portable
- iPad Mini 8.3-inch – Almost as small as a pocket size sketchbook and best portable iPad for Procreate
