That said, there could be times when you notice damage or scratches on your iPad screen and you&rsquo;ll wonder if your Apple Pencil is to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Apple Pencil is designed for iPads and shouldn&rsquo;t damage your screen unless there is debris on your screen or you&rsquo;re using it improperly. Make sure your Apple Pencil tip is intact and there isn&rsquo;t any debris on your screen. You can also&nbsp;use a screen protector so that your Apple Pencil isn&rsquo;t coming into direct contact with your iPad screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Apple Pencils and iPads were designed with each other in mind, it&rsquo;s understandable to still be worried about damaging your expensive iPad.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A scratched or damaged iPad screen can ruin your day. It also can be a hindrance, especially if you do art and need a smooth screen. Luckily, with proper care and maintenance of your iPad and Apple Pencil, scratches and damages should be few and far between, if not unthinkable to begin with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s what you need to do to protect your iPad screen.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min.jpg\" alt=\"ipad with apple pencil and dog\" class=\"wp-image-2081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min.jpg 500w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20500%20667'%3E%3Crect%20width='500'%20height='667'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"ipad with apple pencil and dog\" class=\"wp-image-2081 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_0488-min-225x300.jpg.webp 225w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Even Oliver is worried!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you decide to purchase through my links.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Make Sure that Your Apple Pencil Tips are in Good Shape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Apple Pencil tip is worn down, it could end up rubbing your iPad screen the wrong way.

If you wind up with scratches or damages to your screen, it will likely won&rsquo;t go through your screen protector all the way to your screen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do wind up with damages, you only need to replace your screen protector instead of your entire iPad screen. This is MUCH cheaper, to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a screen protector will not only protect your iPad from any Apple Pencil mishaps, it will protect it from the mishaps of life as well. We all know how important this is, especially when you&rsquo;re doing art on-the-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an artist, I actually LOVE my screen protector. Aside from being a great form of protection, it also helps me with my art. Yes, it&rsquo;s actually helpful! Let&rsquo;s talk about the iPad screen projector I recommend for artists and why I love it so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">My Favorite iPad Screen Protector for Artists<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started drawing on my iPad, it felt weird to slide my Apple Pencil around a slippery screen. It just felt&hellip;weird. Luckily, I got a recommendation to get a matte screen protector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A matte screen protector makes your iPad feel like paper. Of course, it&rsquo;s not an exact resemblance, but it&rsquo;s pretty darn good.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector.png\" alt=\"procreate ipad bellemond screen protector\" class=\"wp-image-8425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector.png 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector-768x459.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"478\" src=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector.png.webp\" alt=\"procreate ipad bellemond screen protector\" class=\"wp-image-8425 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector.png.webp 800w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector-300x179.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector-768x459.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/adventureswithart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/procreate-ipad-bellemond-screen-protector.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here&rsquo;s what mine looks like.

The problem is that &ldquo;on-the-go&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t always pristine and clean. It&rsquo;s really important to make sure that your iPad screen is clean and free of any debris or dirt while you&rsquo;re working, regardless of where you are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s good to get in the habit of wiping off your iPad screen before you start working. This will ensure that there&rsquo;s nothing stuck on there that could cause you problems with scratches or damages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another good reason to wipe off your iPad screen is that your Apple Pencil can leave impressions on your screen protector that might look like permanent scratches, but aren&rsquo;t. There are times when I see little imprints that can just be wiped away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, making sure that your iPad screen stays in good shape is really important. They&rsquo;re expensive and no fun to replace. Luckily, with the right tools and a little intentionality, you&rsquo;ll be ready to protect your iPad from any harm that could come it&rsquo;s way from your Apple Pencil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple Pencils are designed for iPads, which means that they usually work well together without any issues.
