I'm meant to be focussing on getting the Very Pink Jumper done, but keep getting distracted by the iPad, now that I've discovered I can draw on it better than I expected!
Starting off with Sketchbook Express, I decided that for £2.99, the upgrade to Sketchbook Pro was worth it. This was the first amendment I made to my iPad art-making process.
The second was to construct a stylus for my iPad. I found that while I could draw with my finger, I was missing the use of an implement, and so after some investigations, mostly on youtube, I found that it was possible to make your own. My favourite! :)
A quick hunt around our little apartment gave me the required materials - a sponge, scissors and an old biro. The casing specifically had to be metal to make the stylus work, something that I did not have, so I made use of an old biro refill. Quite simply, I sewed a piece of sponge around the base of the refill and cut it to shape, simples!

It's not the prettiest of styluses, but it does the job pretty well, I think.
Here are a few of the images I created with these upgrades:
