​

I really just want a convenient portable drawing tablet I can use anywhere other than at my desk. The main priority is to use it as a drawing device and then the lower priority to read comics and watch movies. I won't care much about features and stuff outside of these functions.

Is there a good android tablet for this? Maybe even a standalone drawing tablet that's worth it?

I know iPad is the go-to for drawing on tablets, but I want a cheaper tablet with more freedom. I don't have any apple devices at all. I have a samsung phone, windows laptop and Huion drawing tablet.

Hi everyone, I am getting an Ipad M4 Air with 13'' and Apple Pencil Pro. I don't want to end up with scratches after a month of using so I want some kind of protection on the screen. Some people use paper-feel protectors but I heard they are harsh on the nib of the pencil and it wears it off a lot quickly. Also I hear it causes jittery lines especially diagonally. Does anyone recommend them? If so what brand or type? I found Bellemond and ESR but i dont know if they are alright. Also do i need to change the nib to other types as well? Does it cause much loss in screen feel, colors or blur? I am unfamiliar with pencil and protector stuff I am grateful for any kind of help.

So, I wanted to ask about the wacom movink pad and your opinions about this device. And also get some advice.

I entered in digital drawing via csp for pc and cintiq 13HD, and honestly I love this program, even with the hard learning curve. Was, and is, my main for digital drawing, but I felt that it would be nice to have a portable device for carrying my work wherever I like, since, as you would know, my pc is too big and could be problematic to travel with it.

My friends heard about my inquiries and told me that and Ipad could be a great companion so I got one and decided to give it a try, but the experience... Hasn´t been that good as I thought.

Procreate isn´t the killer app I expected compared to csp (yeah, the one payment feature is the best part of that app, and the new default inking brushes are really nice, but I feel that it needs mooore things, like proper bucket tool, gradients...), and the Ipad itself is a bit problematic too: the apple pencil magnetic charging (take care about it, or the pencil could get without battery asap) compared to the non charging wacom pencil, the customer service that doesn´t solve any problem (I solved a big one by myself lmao), the accesories that cost a lot...

My Ipad is from 2022 so in that time we only have Samsung tabs and other brands, but now we have the wacom movink pad, and since I had a good experience (and still have) with the wacom cintiq 13 HD, I was thinking about getting the movink pad, but don´t know if would be better to wait until my Ipad says goodbye or would be better to get it now (I like the evangelion edition since I am an eva fan, but maybe wait would be better so the device could be upgrade a bit more). Also, I don´t know if there are some one time payment drawing apps for android (as far as I know, the movink pad is android based) that could be as good as clip studio paint (yeah, I know that csp is in apple and android too, but the monthly suscription is a red flag for me). Or even the best would be stick with the Ipad and Procreate.

So I wanted to know your opinion about the movink pad from wacom.

Is it worth it? Should I take it now or would be better to wait? The wacom canvas app is worth it too, or there are android apps as good as csp, and with one time payment? Or maybe the best option is stay on Ipad and give it another try? Or maybe this is all because I am very used to the csp ui and features...

Sorry for the long text.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a university project about tablet and stylus ergonomics and I’m looking for people who regularly write or draw on tablets to participate in a short survey.

The survey takes about 2–3 minutes and is completely anonymous.

I’d really appreciate any participation or shares. Thanks! :)

Currently using a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus and overall it’s been okay, but there are a few things that have been bothering me enough that I’m thinking about upgrading.

Main issues are:

• I constantly have to reopen the driver and reset the work area
• Pen pressure occasionally stops working randomly
• General driver annoyance over time

I work as a freelance artist and also use Live2D professionally, so stability and drawing feel are really important to me.

22 inches feels fine on my desk, but I feel like having a slightly bigger working area could be more comfortable for longer work sessions.

Right now I’m mainly considering:

1. Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 €3354
2. Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 €3,915
3. XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 Gen 2 (165Hz) €849.15
4. XP-Pen Artist Pro 27 €1899

I’m also wondering if I should just go straight to a 27-inch display instead.

The biggest deciding factor honestly is price.

I keep hearing that Wacom has the best pen feel and overall drawing experience, but it’s hard to find non-sponsored opinions about the newer XP-Pen displays. Most reviews feel like ads.

So I’d really love to hear from people with long-term experience:

• Is Wacom actually worth saving up for?
• Or are newer XP-Pen displays already “good enough” for professional work?
• How’s the driver stability and long-term reliability?
• Any regrets going bigger than 22”?

Would really appreciate advice from artists who use these daily for illustration/animation/Live2D work.

I'm a total beginner and I just want to buy my first tablet without overthinking it, but now I'm stuck between two options: Huion Inspiroy 2 L XP-Pen Deco 01 V3

The Huion costs about $67.97 and the XP-Pen is around $67.30 ( on Amazon ) Everywhere I look people say both are good - but no one really explains which one actually feels better to draw on.

If anyone's used both (or either one), I'd love to hear your thoughts - mainly about pen feel, driver stability, and overall experience. my use going to be blender and some 2D

and that 60° tilt in xp pen should I consider that

I just wanna make a smart choice and start drawing already Thanks a ton!

Background: I have been drawing on an ipad for 7 years now. I have been wanting to get a new drawing tablet for awhile, and lately I have noticed that my ipad is starting to show its age (it is an apple product so battery just does not last as long as it use to, only a few hours before I need to plug it back in)
I tried looking online myself and was met with wildly different price ranges so I felt reddit was the best place to ask this type of question.

Which screen tablet is best for a person who does digital art as one of their main hobbies?
my price range is $1000-$2000 (preferably closer to $1000) I have been saving money for awhile and plan to continue saving.
I care more about how good it performs/how long it lasts rather than screen size (i am very comfortable at an ipad sized screen)
If more information is needed let me know! I feel like I rambled a lot here
Thank you

I have used the both, and ipad just feels like drawing on glass wiht glass.

Hello! I’m currently looking for a drawing tablet because my iPad is glitching more and more often. I really want the ones where there is a screen since I don’t have a monitor yet (and probably wouldn’t buy one anytime soon). I don’t have a budget, I just need one that would be easy to use and long lasting. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thank you very much!

Hellooo!!

Currently I use an IPad Pro 11’ 3rd gen that I got as a birthday present. And although I love it I HATEE how slippery it is. I know I can just buy a screen protector but Ive seen many people talk abt how it can damage your Apple Pencil nibs and I don’t want to keep buying more and more. And I want to use my ipad more for school.

Ive been searching for a couple of days and Ive ruled out Wacom bc 1 wayyyy too expensive and 2 I don’t really like their pens or screens… so now Ive been going back and forth between XP Pen and huion.

I have a legion Pro 5 16’ so I want something that will be in the same level as that. I’m not sure on the size but honestly anything above 13 and under 20. I also want a more paper- feel texture and that will keep up with my laptops specs. Im very minimalistic so I’m not rlly into buttons and stuff, mainly bc idk how to use them… BUT yeah I’m stuck between the 2.

I don’t have a set budget, I think anything under $600 would be good, I also have a student discount but I don’t that that will do much…

I don’t want to spend hundreds on something that will break in a year, I would love to hear your experiences on it, Thank youuu!!
