Tap the screen to select icons, buttons and other interface items. You can combine Apple Pencil taps with finger taps to interact with your iPad. You can use an Apple Pencil purely asa finger substitute, but to get the most from it, you need to use ‘an app with Apple Pencil support. The best one to start with is Apple's own Notes app. Create a New Note and tap the Draw icon (just above the ‘delete’ key). At the bottom of the Notes appis a selection of pen-and-pencil styles and a range of colours from which to choose. Tap these and draw on the screen with the Apple Pencil. The firmer you press on, the Apple Pencil the broader and more pronounced the stroke. Side le Shade ‘An interesting trick the Apple Pencil has up its sleeve is the shade function. Try drawing on the screen with the side of the Apple Pencil nib. This angle creates a shaded effect as if you were shading in with a regular pencil. Don't worry | about resting your palm against the screen when sketching either as the Pad features a pal-ejection technology that detects which part of your hand is resting on the screen and ignores it where necessary.

Scribble is a great Apple Pencil feature that lets you use your Apple Pencil in any fleld where you can enter text.
