How much GB
Hi, I am to buy the new ipad pro 12.9 inch. Should I buy 128 or 256gb? Its for my son who likes to draw and maybe in the future with photograpy.

The best advice is to purchase as much on-device storage as you can afford - as iPad internal storage cannot be altered or updated. Whatever configuration you purchase is fixed for the life of the device. If you can afford to purchase the 256GB model (or perhaps greater), you would be well advised to do so.
Far better to have more device storage than you need - than to later discover that you need more storage than you have. You can never have, and we never see complains of having, too much storage - whereas you will see many tales of woe from those that sought false economy in choosing a device with storage inadequate for their needs. Having more storage than you perhaps anticipate provides room to grow as your needs mature.
A general computing “rule-of-thumb” is to think carefully and quantify your expected storage needs - add a healthy margin - then double it.
My recommendation - and that of many that participate within these User Communities - is to purchase as much internal storage as you budget will allow.
I hope this information and guidance proves to be helpful in guiding your thoughts.
