Just got an ipad2 last weekend, and I just picked this program up for $2.50(NZ)... its pretty cool! I created this using my finger in about 5-10 mins
I need to get a stylus, I also got avid sketchbook pro (that was on sale for $2.50 at the weekend too!!) it's pretty impressive

Yep got the iPhone version. It's pretty cool.
Love your work
I think with an iPad and the export images option you could do a decent draft storyboard or animatic whilst on the go.

One of my favourites. Pretty awesome given the fatness of the average finger.

These people must use this thing all the time.

Finger fatness on a pad or pod or phone doesn't matter much. Even a stylus isn't particularly advantageous. The screen (OS) figures out the perimeter of your finger, and averages it to a center. The software then applies a brush diameter to that center point. I think sketchbook even lets you offset the brush from your finger, so you can see more precisely.
There are a couple of styli that have a plastic window with a crosshair that are a little better for visibility and accuracy, but they're too fussy for me to use. I have a bamboo stylus, and it's OK. All of them lack something in response vs your finger. It isn't anything compared to using a graphics tablet.

they're great! (my effort is pretty poo compared to those links) Thanks for sharing!
yeah dm, its not really a substitute for my cintique - but its thin,light and portable... so probably good for sketching - and I've already got ipadfingeritis after only a few days...
