Switched from a drawing tablet to an iPad Pro 6 months ago for my digital art

I used to draw everything on a Wacom Intuos hooked to my PC, but I kept losing momentum sitting at a desk after a full workday. Got an iPad Pro last March so I could sketch on my couch or at a coffee shop, and now I finish pieces way faster. Anyone else find that changing your setup to be more mobile helped your actual art output?

Used to think portability was overrated honestly. I had this old Intuos that worked fine, so why spend the money right? But after my boss let me borrow her iPad for a week last fall, I totally caved. Being able to just flop on the floor or sit somewhere cozy changed how often I even wanted to draw. Now I do full character sketches while watching TV and my notebook fills up way faster. Did you find your style changed at all with the different screen?

Oh YES @the_claire, you're so right, I totally underestimated how much just being comfy would change my whole drawing vibe!
