Compare that to my signing my name with my fingertip in the image below. Easy! There are four different writing tools (plus one eraser and one paintbrush) and you can see above how each of them look when I sign my name. I draw my sketches with the Bamboo, switch to the ballpoint pen and add my notes and then take a screenshot and email it my graphic designer. My Go To app (shown in these images) lately for sketches and notes is the beautiful Paper by FiftyThree (which lets you create endless journals and add as many pages to each journal as you like). don't mistake this app for a serious graphic art application. The colors are limited but Paper is supposed to give you just the bare-bones options to create a digital journal. In the image above, I've drawn a simple candle using the marker selection and then added some comments using the ballpoint pen selection. I'm not using any fancy graphics application, either.

But with the stylus, I can actually get some fairly decent sketches done. All I typically need to do with my drawings is give a graphic artist the most basic idea of what I need in a figure or a diagram. so my stick figures tend to look more like an alien alphabet than anything else. I know that Apple frowns on the stylus as a tool, but when it comes to efficiency. I often find myself flying through certain tasks with the Bamboo just because of the added accuracy. Gestures can be done as well, just not the pinch and reverse-pinch.
