We've reviewed every one of these iPads to see how comfortable they are for drawing and we've ordered them according to performance, the quality, accuracy and speed of the display – essential for drawing – and Apple Pencil support. In the meantime, read on to discover the best iPad for drawing now.

If you want more options, you might also want to see our guides to the best drawing tablets and the best tablets with a stylus for drawing (iPads make it into both). Only the standard iPad and the 2019 iPad mini down at the bottom of our list have to make do with the Pencil 1. For more on the differences between the two styluses see our comparison of Apple Pencil vs Apple Pencil 2, but with the Pencil 2 the superior stylus, you'll notice that most of our picks in our list of the best iPad for drawing support it. The Apple Pencil 2 is also easier to attach to the tablet, and easier to charge too. The Apple Pencil 2 offers improvements across the board over the first Apple Pencil, with better ergonomics to a double-tap to change settings (not that both the Apple Pencil 1 and 2 are sold separately and do not come with any of the tablets below). But of course, key to choosing the best iPad for drawing is the stylus. Then there are the displays, with the Liquid Retina XDR display on the latest tablets offering incredible fidelity and vibrancy.
