Question

I draw comics for kids and my works are published in Bengali kids magazine. I recently bought iPad to improve my workflow only to be disappointed that I can not  paint my comics with paint bucket tool that I have been using in desktop version for last 5 years. This is very annoying and switching between desktop and iPad complicates my workflow now. I am sometimes regretting my decision to invest in iPad. Any word of comfort? A sample of work has been attached so that you can get a feel of my line.
