I find this all too impossible to follow.
If I remember correctly a stylus is unusable on the ipad (if it has a
touch screen like an Iphone)
You must use finger contact.
One of my members has a Blackberry Storm and she cannot use it with
gloves, must be a finger touch.

In art school we did thousands of charcoal drawings, some with
charcoal pencils, some with small blocks of charcoal. The only time
we ever used a stylus was for sculpture or to remove the ink layer
that covered colored wax. You can create minute details using pieces
of charcoal. Michelangelo did OK with his charcoal drawings.
[Forgot...we'd find a stylus to clean our fingernails after using clay.]
Cheap artists' brushes start about $4 each or so. I have too many
sables that cost well over $10--each--some over $30. Brushes for oil
or acrylic sometimes cost more than watercolor brushes, but don't
often last as long because they're harder to clean. The bundles of
brushes at discount are cheap and don't last. Quality brushes will
last for years. One of the good things about calligraphy was using
the cheap bamboo brushes, but fine sable brushes are very expensive.
Fat fingers are no excuse. You can either draw, or you can't draw.
No big deal. No excuses.
