If you’re stuck on something, write to me. I answer every email myself, usually in the evening Arizona time, which is mountain time without the daylight saving change. That means I may be an hour off from where you are depending on the season.

Good things to ask

• Why does my line look wobbly, and what can I change?
• Which app should I try first with the iPad I already have?
• Is a stylus worth buying before I know if I’ll keep drawing?
• How do I fix a layer I accidentally flattened?

Things I can’t help with

I can’t repair your device or tell you which model to buy for professional work. I’m not a teacher, so I won’t grade your drawings, though I’m happy to say what I like about them.

Write to [email protected]. Tell me which iPad and app you’re using, and a screenshot helps a lot. If your question is one lots of beginners ask, I may turn it into an article, and I’ll leave your name out unless you say it’s fine.
