The first is called “How I Made a Dickinson Poster on iPad Pro.” In it, illustrator Janice Sung discusses the inspiration and creative process for a print ad about Apple’s show reinterpreting the life of poet Emily Dickinson.

Sung uses her tablet from beginning to end. “I’ll start by sketching on the iPad Pro, thinking of different poses that best suit Dickinson, and from there I’ll blocking in looking in the colors, figuring out the lighting,” she said.

Apple says this video demonstrates for watchers “the creative process of two poster art professionals, and how they took an entire show and put it into a single image with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.”

Both Dickinson and For All Mankind are Apple TV+ exclusives. This requires a subscription to APple’s streaming service at $4.99 a month but includes access to a range of other original shows.
