Astropad recently updated its popular drawing kit for iPad users. The company launched Rock Paper Pencil 4.0, which combines a textured screen protector with custom tips for your stylus. This new version aims to make drawing on a glass tablet feel much more natural. It now offers multiple drawing styles in one package, giving digital artists more choices for their creative workflow.
The new kit features a graphite tip
The latest version of the drawing accessory comes with four total tips in the box. You get two of the standard ballpoint tips and two of the brand new graphite tips. The company designed the graphite option to feel like a standard 2B pencil. It offers a heavier drag for shading and even sounds like a real pencil scraping across paper. The ballpoint option stays in the kit for times when you need a smooth feel for writing or drawing sharp lines.
Both of these tips work with every model of the Apple Pencil, including the newest Pro version.

Here are a few quick details about the updated release:
- The kit includes a reusable screen protector that attaches with static cling instead of messy glue.
- You can easily peel the protector off when you want a clear screen for gaming or watching movies.
- The protective sheet features a microscopic texture to add the right amount of friction.
- The entire package costs $49.99 on the official Astropad website.
Astropad is also running a special promotion for new buyers. If you peel off your old glued-on screen protector and share a video of it on social media, the company will give you twenty dollars back. This makes it easier for Apple fans to test out the realistic paper feel without spending too much cash.
