Astropad has released Rock Paper Pencil 4.0, which introduces a new graphite-feel option for Apple Pencil users. This update allows artists and notetakers to experience a softer, toothier drag, designed to mimic a 2B pencil, for sketching, shading, and expressive strokes on their iPad.
The Rock Paper Pencil 4.0 kit now includes four Apple Pencil tips: two ballpoint and two graphite. The existing steel ballpoint tip remains available for precise linework, inking, and tidy notetaking, while the new graphite tips are made from POM to replicate the feel, look, and sound of real graphite.
The screen protector component of Rock Paper Pencil 4.0 utilizes Astropad's NanoCling system, which uses static cling for application and removal without adhesive residue. This microscopic texture provides friction and control, mimicking fine-grain paper. The custom tips are designed to work specifically with this nano-texture protector.
Rock Paper Pencil 4.0 is available now for $49.99, with worldwide shipping. The previous version, 3.0, is also on sale while supplies last.
