It’s just so inspiring to see:
a) what she was able to achieve on the outdated tech
b) how much improvement she’s made in that time despite her health battles and me guiding via messenger from an entire state away

All that to say… earlier this year we wrangled a hand-me-down iPad 2 and a VERY old version of @procreate to get her started in digital art (running iOS 9, when Procreate required iOS 15) until we were able to track down a much more amenable refurbed iPad 6 at a doable price.
