scroll to see my thoughts on everything lol

ONE by Wacom CTL-471 — Wacom actually doesn't produce this exact model anymore, but they still make CTL-472, which is basically the same tablet. It is pretty small, though.
○ Dimensions: 210 x 145 x 7 mm (8.3 x 5.7 x 0.3 in)
○ Price: $60–$70 USD
○ Good for a beginner artist who doesn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a tablet! I've used this for 9 years, and it still works perfectly fine. I've never even had to replace the pen nib lol

iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) — As a university music student, I only got this to read music and take notes for school, but it's really good for art, too! I know a bunch of professional artists who use iPads.
○ Dimensions: 280.6 x 214.9 x 5.9 mm (11.05 x 8.46 x 0.23 in)
○ Price: $1099–$2399 (I got mine on sale for $999)
○ I'd advise against getting the 12.9 unless you really need the bigger size. It's pretty much identical to the 11, which is much cheaper. I only have the 12.9 because it's hard for me to read music off of the 11 inch.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) — Do not drop this. You will have to replace the nib and possibly the whole pen itself.

BERSEM Paperfeel Screen Protector — I literally can't draw without this—I hate the feeling of drawing on glass lol

MJKOR Apple Pencil Tips (2B) — Another thing to replicate the pencil-on-paper texture. These replacement pen nibs are meant to feel like a soft 2B lead pencil!

OTraki Artist Gloves — These gloves are meant to prevent smudging in traditional art, but they're also nice for digital artists! Helps my hand move smoothly across the screen.

Clip Studio Paint PRO — Good drawing software! It goes on sale often, so if you're going to buy it, make sure to do it then! Also, I LOVE CSP Assets; I've found so many good brushes, textures, and gradient maps there.

Procreate — I heard that CSP on iPad sucks, so I got Procreate! It works perfectly fine, and the user interface is very approachable and easy to learn. I do still prefer CSP overall, but I've gotten used to Procreate.

Final Cut Pro — I use this very rarely, whenever I make an animation too complex for Procreate or do anything video-related. I'm not a video editor and I hardly ever use this software, so I won't offer my opinions.
Though, apparently Sapnap uses Final Cut Pro!
