Should I focus my Patron videos on Anatomy?

Do you mind if I focus on anatomy/figure drawing for all of the exclusive videos here? 

As I am gearing up to launch my mentorship and youtube memberships, I have realized that thinking of content to create here has become a little difficult.

Which devices do you use?

I'd like to get an idea of what everyone uses to see if I need to adjust the files I provide here! One thing I know is that some people cannot open the files I make on their ipads.
