Alright, so the iPad Pro is out and everyone is going wild for the Apple Pencil, but what if you like the idea of having a stylus for drawing but aren’t so into the idea of buying a brand new iPad (and a $100 stylus) just for the privilege? Well, that’s where today’s deal, the Pencil by FiftyThree comes in. We’re offering it on TouchArcade Deals for slightly cheaper than Amazon and other places, and when paired with the companion Paper app, you can do some real cool stuff. Here’s the trailer from back then Pencil was first released:
I’ve got one, and while my artistic talents basically end at drawing mediocre dickbutts, it’s still really fun to fiddle with. Paper is a cool app, and adding a stylus into the mix just takes it to a whole different level. Also, flipping it over and using the “eraser" on the other end feels weirdly futuristic.
But, hey, maybe you suck at drawing just as much as I do and want to build iOS stuff instead? That’s cool too, as right now we’re running a pay what you want iOS 9 bundle:
It includes a silly amount of things for you to learn, complete with several app templates, and how to build things not only for the new Apple TV but also the Apple Watch. Barrier to entry on these courses is also super low, so even if you’re a total beginner you can just hop right in.
