Answer
you can already do some sketch drawing with the native app notes. However, it will be very limited for this purpose (not a lot of possibilities and to add shading by changing the angle of your apple pencil as you would do with a pencil you need an app that support it).
So for drawing, painting etc. i would recommend third party application such as: Adobe Photoshop Sketch, Corel Painter, Rageart...- Answered by Giuseppe P

Answer
I have an apple pencil too and have had a hard time using it the way I expected. If you have a printer available, you can turn the print preview into a pdf which then can be opened and annotated using the pencil. I use the pinch to zoom gesture to create the PDF and open it in the Adobe app to annotate. I guess you can also take a screenshot and mark up the photo.
