r/drawingtablet

To quickly give context i have been a digital artist for 9 years and i only ever used a Wacom Intuos Pro M. I love my intuos but its time for an upgrade. I currently am a full time comic artist and i noticed i struggle intensly with lineart due to the limitation of my tools.

I live in a country where wacom demand is extremely low. Thereofre one can always find cheap listings.

I found a listing for a Wacom Cintiq pro 32 (with stand included) for roughly 1,440 USD. Basically mint condition/ just collecting dust.

I heard extremely mixed reviews on this model, and it might even be fully discontinued. But the price is really damn affordable. Still though i am not sure if its worth the buy.

The alternative "safe+longevity" option is the wacom cintiq 16 (2025 edition) from an importer for 1090USD.

Which should i get: the Pro 32 or the Cintiq 16?

I have an xppen which formed a scratch that was deep enough to be catching the tip, so I had to buy a screen protector for it which did fix the problem. (yes I know there's no screen but idk what it's called)

So I wanted to ask if the wacom has this same issue sometimes? Because the replacable sheet itself is incredibly expensive in my country, it's literally 100dollars.

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to buy an XP-Pen product, but before making a decision, I want to know about your experiences with XP-Pen’s customer service and warranty support in India, especially in Delhi.
The products I’m currently considering are:

XP-Pen Deco LW
XP-Pen Deco Pro LW (2nd Gen)
XP-Pen Artist 12 (3rd Gen)

I’m particularly concerned about what happens if a product arrives defective or develops a problem later.
Is XP-Pen India’s customer support responsive and helpful?

Do they provide proper warranty service and replacements for defective products?

Are there any authorised service centres in Delhi where products can actually be repaired?

If I buy from Amazon through a seller other than XP-Pen India itself, will I still receive warranty support?
Have you personally had any good or bad experiences with their after-sales service?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback from people who have actually purchased XP-Pen products in India.
Please share both positive and negative experiences.
I’m interested in knowing how their service works in real life, not just what their official warranty policy says.
Customer support is an important factor in my decision, especially since getting a product repaired or replaced can be difficult depending on where you live.
Thanks in advance! 🙏

I've been wanting to upgrade to a display tablet for a while now, and after looking at the options, I'm considering the MovinkPad 11. Just wanting to hear people's thoughts and experiences before settling. Anything to be aware of? Are there better options?

To start, I've been using a Wacom Bamboo pen tablet for the past 15+ years. I don't have a very good setup, no desk. I sit with my laptop and have the tablet resting on the keyboard. I make it work, but it's inconvenient and makes drawing a bit of a chore. I mainly want to remove my drawing experience from the computer to a single device for convenience and ease of use.

Since this would pretty much be strictly for drawing, I don't need anything overkill. I don't foresee using any other apps, so processing power, etc. isn't a big concern. If I can draw on it, that's all I need.

I was looking at the MovinkPad 14 (and other larger tablets), but I worry they may end up being too big. I want something portable and convenient. Downside, it means less screen space, but I'm sure most drawing apps have "mobile" versions that clean up the UI, so probably nothing to worry about.

Speaking of the 14, it's expensive, and along with the size issue stated before, I don't see it adding much more that the 11 offers. The 11 also has a camera that the 14 doesn't, which sounds useful.

The reason why I'm looking at Wacom over Samsung, iPad, etc. is mainly because I hear good things about the drawing experience. Great pen and the matte finish screen, primarily. Like I said, main reason for buying is for drawing, so I'd like to have something designed for that in mind first.

My biggest concern is longevity. My Wacom Bamboo still works the same as it did when I got it. Do you think that sort of lifespan is possible with more modern tech? I hear Wacom's been pretty lax on updates, and would hate to find a program be unusable for needing an upgraded OS or something. I mainly use Clip Studio Paint, if that matters. It's always a concern spending that kind of money not knowing how good of an investment it may be.

So, I guess, is my head in the right place? Am I overlooking anything or any other brands that may be better options? And to those that have bought one: how has the experience been for you?

Hi! So I'm a traditional artist who is looking forward to try digital art. I mostly draw on A4 size paper and was wondering if a 13.3 inch tablet (Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3) would suit me. I would be using Krita as my main application for drawing. My budget is around $250. Any advice would be appreciated!

I want to start streaming my art process on YouTube. I try to sync my tablet through OBS by using Super Display app. But when I draw on my tablet, there's latency issues? I figure it's because my laptop is too outdated (RAM 2gb Corei3 AsusX455L) so it couldn't handle opening CSP + OBS at the same time. I'm using Samsung Galaxy S9 as my tablet though, do any of you have suggestions on what apps/workaround that might work?

hello! not sure if this is the right place to ask, so sorry in advance if it isnt the case.
Long story short im looking for a new graphic tablet, im not a beginner by any means, ive used a tablet for almost 10 years now, my screentablet around 8-7 years. Ive used since then a Huion GT-191, it has worked fine, no issues (aside from software issues ive been managing to fix as time passes) but definetly very outdated. Finding a pen replacement is a pain in the ass since the tablet, and pen, are discontinued. I can buy from third party, but they dont last. The color is also never exactly right, doesnt matter how much i tweak it, its no match to modern screens and such.
I also would like to benefit from features from modern tablets such as better sensitivity and tilt detection?
Im not sure what else is new, i just now im super outdated as my tablet is a model from 2017. I am a semi professional artist, and while my current tablet still works, things like the color issues as affecting some of my work, specially my work as a comic colorist.
Please feel free to suggest tablets, while my budget isnt super tight, i also dont want to spend 1000 euros+, more like 500 or so.
(also, my tablet is around 19.5 inches, im not willing to go smaller)

XP Pen DECO 01 V3 10 x 6 inch Graphics Tablet Connectivity - USB

Is this worth buying at this price range or should I go for some other?

Please if possible need quick help, I have to buy it today anyhow.

Hi! I've posted about this before but I was never able to solve it and I'm back here again :((
So, I've had my Intuos S CTL-4100 (in a Window 10 laptop) for years, and for a long time I never changed the nib

A few years ago I tried changing it for the first time, it started drawing even without me pressing it to the tablet. I decided to ignore it and continue drawing with the same nib because the same nib kept working. A year ago I decided to try again and it was the same thing.

I've used the SAME nib for years now (maybe around 5, but I'm not too sure) and it is extremely worn out. Today it started drawing when hovering and I tried changing to a new one and it did the same thing.

I am tired of this, guys. I've read posts about this, I've tried changing the nibs again and again, none of them work. I've tried leaving it without a nib for a while, I've tried blowing air, I've tried smacking the nib, I've tried to see if it kept paiting without any nib plugged in (it didn't), I've tried it all.

So, if there is SOMETHING I can do or if SOMEONE knows what is going on... Is the tip just old and too sensitive? Is it a nib problem? Can I fix this? Or do I just need to replace my pen? Or the whole tablet?

I will be sad if I have to, since I don't exactly have the money for new stuff right now. But I will appreciate any answer.
Once again, thank you so much (and if you could keep your replies easily understandable, I would be so glad, since Eng is my second language!) TuT <3

im sorry for asking again but since i have a terrible headache atm it's just easier for me to create a post than go searching for what i'm looking for.

so i've been wanting to get back into drawing especially now that my daughter has gotten into it.she uses an ipad and i thought about trying that since i'm basically a beginner. i've been doing some searching and haven't found exaclty what i'd want. i'm looking for a screen tablet that is portable but that i can also connect to my pc if i ever wanted to stream myself drawing and preferably where i don't have to worry about the pen dying on me and short cut buttons available. if there's such a thing all while not costing me an arm and a leg. thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Hi everyone! I need to buy a tablet mainly for drawing and creating illustrations, but it will also be my only tablet for everyday use — watching movies, writing, reading magazines, browsing, etc.

I already know the specs and technical differences between the two devices. What I really want to know is how they perform in real-world use across all these different needs.

Based on your experience, which one would you recommend I buy, and why?

I have never in my life owned a drawing tablet nor done digital art but I really wanna get into it. I was considering getting an ipad, which are kind of expensive so I thought of asking first what would you recommend getting.

I would appreciate suggestions and any information.

So I have a screneless tablet sitting in my room (it wasn’t mine but I got it for free) it’s a huion frego m, and I also own a MacBook m4, I was thinking to use it for my engineering notes, what do you think? Is it worth it?

I was planning to get an iPad, but a few people recommended getting an E-Ink Android tablet instead, especially since my main use would be drawing.

Now I’m kinda torn between the two. Has anyone tried both for drawing? Which one would you recommend?
