Since there have been a lot of threads about these lately, I thought it would be a better idea to just make a general.

This is a thread to discuss all kinds of digital drawing hardware: non-display graphics tablets, pen display tablets, portable tablets and more.

>What should I buy?
State your:
>Budget
>Location
>Type (display? non-display? portable?)
>Size (in inches)
>Other information
>Previous equipment

>Non-Display Tablets
Intuos Pro Large - Most expensive, but the best.
Deco Pro Medium - Best value, very good drawing.
Avoid small tablets like the Intuos Small and Bamboo Lite.

>Display Tablets
Cintiq Pro 24+ - The best drawing experience money can by, but massively overpriced and serious quality control issues. Not recommended.
Artist 24 Pro - Decent large-sized QHD budget option. Worse pen than wacom, and no bonded screen.
Artist 15.6 Pro - Very nice medium-sized budget option. Comes with a bonded screen to minimize parallax.
Cintiq 16-22 (non-pro) - Slightly more expensive than the XP-Pen counterparts, no bonded screen, but comes with a better pen.

>Portable Tablets
iPad Pro 3rd/4th Gen - Best portable drawing experience, but massively overpriced. Apple Pencil is an additional $150. Buy used if you can.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite - Fantastic value. Pen uses Wacom EMR tech so it's really good. The Android ecosystem is not as strong as iOS/iPadOS.
iPad 7th gen - Budget iPad, worse performance. No bonded screen so there will be parallax.
Microsoft Surface Pro - Good general purpose device, but not optimal for drawing due to n-trig pen. Lines have noticeable jitter, so autosmoothing is necessary. Heavily overpriced.

If you have any questions, ask them. Also feel free to make suggestions for the OP.

Yeah it's fine for that. You usually are going to have to tweak your brushes to remove rotation detection and put the direction on tilt instead, it depends on the program mostly. In Corel Painter 19 it works pretty well without alterations to any settings or brushes. In CSP, for example, some brushes will do some tilt when you set them up for xp-pen, but others (like the DAUB CSP sets made specifically for Wacom) require you to set a tilted version of the brush to a hotkey you hold down while drawing to simulate tilt. This can be a pain sometimes since you'll have to move your arm in weird ways or rotate the canvas more to get that optimal angle.

The tilt is alright, I have my doubts about it being a full 60°± range. It could be that the lack of rotation detection is what makes it feel wrong to me though.

If you've never used a Wacom it feels great (according to my friend who never used a drawing tablet before when he tried my xp-pen out) but if you are used to wacom's buttery smooth tilt and rotation it feels janky. Still usable but definitely takes some getting used to due to the lower quality feeling you get from it.

Most likely it is just a thin display tablet and not a full mobile tablet. And if it *is* a mobile tablet, it wouldn't be something like a powerful tablet PC or Wacom studio alternative, I'm not seeing any fan exhaust on it. It would more likely be something like an Android tablet kind of thing if it were a standalone. I'd be pretty concerned about not having full versions of programs or having enough power to handle large canvases and brushes without severe lag if this is the case.

I have an Ipad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen, Wacom cintiq 16 (non-pro) gave it to a family member, Wacom cintiq Pro 24 which I currently use with the Wacom ergo stand.
Wacom cintiq 16 is not shit, and it actually feels great to write on, has the right amount of friction and a little bit more than the cintiq 24 pro which was harder glass since it spread out wider. If I were getting a tablet again, I would not consider the Wacom cintiq 16 pro specifically because the size of the wacom cintiq 22 would probably be better for workflow options.

Depends on your preference. If they're on discount, go for it.
There will be parallax, which means there's a gap between where your nib touches the tablet and where the cursor appears on screen. Also the panel isn't the best quality.

Wacom has the best experience. The problem is horrible quality control, and tablets are likely to break within 6 months-2 years.
For art/design businesses, replacing or repairing a broken tablet is just one of many expenses. For an independent artist on a budget, it's really rough.

If you want a large tablet, I'd just look at the lower end Cintiq 22 used (or on discount if possible). The XP-Pens are also worth looking at if you don't mind having a worse pen, and inaccurate colors if you don't calibrate.

Having a large 20"+ tablet is good to have so you can draw efficiently with your shoulder. Won't get that on an iPad.

So, I've got a general question about tilt functionality in graphics tablets.

With my current tiltless tablet, I can only hold the pan at a single angle for proper calibration. Using any other angle causes my cursor to be fairly off-center.

I drew a quick diagram in mspaint to try and show what I mean. The triangles are the position of my pen nib, and the red spots are what my tablet registers when I use that angle.

Does buying a tablet with tilt avoid this, or is it just a fact of all drawing tablets?

What brand of tablet do you have? The drift from tilting depends on where the coil in the stylus sits, in Wacom it's very close to the nib which reduces this drifting, and in other brands it's much higher up in the stylus (probably due to patents), giving them more drift on tilting.

After some test i was dissapointed and regret the buy but that is now joy. Just a small check on the settings and this tablet become a monster.

The tablet is pretty solid, the surface have this "sticky" feel when you draw, that give you more precision in your lines. im not a fan of buttons but these are great and the wheel, oh god i can change the size of the brush or rotate the drawing really easy.

there is no lag while drawing and is compatible with a lot of software, best thing is that you can create different configs for different programs what is a blessing.

pencil is good, it dosnt have the button on top like other tablets but to be honest, i never use that. is a bit thick but nothing uncomfortable and i have small hands.

for 130 usd for the medium, i can say that this tablet is a better version of the intuos. there is no excuse for not having this thing, the small is just 100.

Hi

I'm a beginning shitter and have been practicing somewhat more consistently the last few weeks on paper. My pencils feel like shit on the paper so i've been using a pen. I've been thinking about getting a drawing tablet but am not sure how much i'm wanting to spend for it. I'm not looking to become a professional artist its just something I want to do as a hobby.
I'm interested in getting a tablet that has a display on it. I'm also interested in a tablet that could be used on the go without my computer (though I'll more than likely mostly be doing it while on my computer, so it isn't necessary to me if I could use it on the go)
I'm not really sure where to go for whats good and what to avoid. I just know the name Wacom from some people I know and someone recommended me the XP-PEN Artist12 Pro.

I genuinely don't know shit about these things and am willing to hear out any suggestions for this stuff. I definitely don't really want to spend 1K or more of a tablet and was thinking 400 USD would be my price peak (which i think is too low if i want something that i can take on the go).

The cheapest possible portable tablet would probably be an old business laptop that has a pen display. They'll run you a couple hundred bucks last I checked, and it won't interface with a desktop PC without something like onedrive, but it's what I used as a newbie.

If you'd prefer a bona fide tablet that isn't portable, go for one of the 15-16 inch tablets on Amazon. I personally have a Gaomon PD1560, and while there are some minor issues with all of the budget tablets out there, $300 for a Chinese clone is a pretty good value considering the Wacom equivalent will likely run you over $1000.

Right now, the good options are:

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite - Great value, very solid drawing experience on top of being a multimedia device. Android doesn't have the best app ecosystem for drawing, but it's improving.

Used iPad 7 + used Apple Pencil - Better pen than the Galaxy, but no bonded screen which means parallax (there will be a gap between the tip of the pen and the pixels on screen). Better drawing app ecosystem than Android.

Wacom One - Not a multimedia device like the above two, but it's designed for use on the go and it's the biggest option for that at 13". You can connect it to an Android Phone for use in programs like Krita. Can also be used as a pseudo PC monitor with DeX (assuming you have a Samsung phone). No bonded screen so there's parallax.

Also as others said, XP-Pen announcing something similar to the Wacom One, but probably more affordable. It will have a worse pen though.

when you say 2nd gen your talking about 2nd gen ipad pro right? I got that one and my ipad would do this sometimes in procreate.

to fix it I would either usually make sure all apps are closed, clsoe out of procreate and reopen usually fixed it. or sometimes my ipad was hot and i'd have to step away for a few minutes ( this pissed me off). More than likely though it was because my battery was getting low on either my ipad or pencil.

What are you talking about? Did you even do your research on this? Obviously not because a simple search for their active patents shows that you're talking out of your ass.

Design patents last 15 years after the granted date and can be extended, usually around 5 years at a time, though this requires review from the government. Wacom most definitely still has a shit ton of patents that have been filed within that window as well as recently filed and extended patents for the shit I'm talking about. They probably forgot about or couldn't get an extension on EMR tech which is why the chink shit has been copying that lately without getting a big fat lawsuit.

Yes but the huion stylus sends a much simpler kind of signal back to the tablet (I think it's a sine wave that grows or shrinks based on pressure from the soft nib and one dedicated part of the wave for side buttons), whereas wacom's stylus sends back a lot more information and it's organized really well with dedicated sections of the wave for a TON of shit, making it easy for the tablet to pick up accurate position, tilt, and rotation. Not to mention, Wacom isn't a soft nib (nib presses directly on the shielding for the coil) it's some kind of hybrid semi-soft nib.

Generally speaking you don't need a BEASTLY machine, but most of the software might not play well with AMD (I know because I bought a beastly AMD machine), they either prefer single thread performance or really hate amd GPUs.

I would suggest something like
>some i5 cpu + a chunky cooler
just for the quiet (you don't sound like an overclocker)
>16 gigs of ram will be fine.
Preferably fast ram, but don't overpay for the extreme shit.
>Nvidia GTX 1660 or maaaaybe 2060 super (or a used 1070)
This would be enough for any 2d needs and play nice with any popular software

>What's a good PC
For pen display tablets, desk space is more relevant than PC.
Software should dictate how good your PC should be.

Anyway, Cintiq 22 is decent if you want a somewhat affordable large tablet. It's full HD on a 22" display so the pixel gap will be real. The screen isn't bonded so there will be parallax. It's Wacom so chances are you will have problems down the line. That being said, you will get the best pen available in this price range.

No, they're unironically all trash in terms of quality control. The pen display market is entirely manufactured in China these days. That's why it's an especially bad idea to buy a cintiq pro.

I wasn't too keen on hearing the key selling point was making it thinner but if people are truly traveling with it then they could use that but a thin tablet at home is kinda pointless to me.

1200:1 Contrast ratio (compared to old models 800:1). The pen has tilt. They haven't added rotation still. I think it's better than the normal pro 15.6 because of the much nicer screen but otherwise it seems about the same.

The thickness of the tablet isn't even my issue with portability though, it's more the size of the damn thing and the fact that I have to plug it in to a power outlet since my laptop doesn't have enough ports.
