New management edition

This is a thread to discuss all kinds of digital drawing hardware.

Recommended tablets:
>Pen tablets (non display)
Wacom Intuos
Huion Inspiroy
Xencelab Pen Tablets
XP Pen Deco

>Display tablets
Wacom Cintiq
Huion Kamvas
XP-Pen Artist

>Mobile tablets
Wacom MobileStudio Pro
Apple iPad Pro
Samsung Galaxy Tab

>General guidelines when picking a tablet:
- All of the recommended models are part of large lines with multiple sizes/generations available. Buy the biggest/newest in your budget. Medium-Large pen tablets or 16-24" display tablets are considered the sweet spot by most artists.
- If you don't see a tablet you're interested in listed, ask about it. This isn't a definitive list, just one to give you an idea where to start looking.
- Wacom is the industry standard, but are overpriced. Chinese brands have mostly caught up in the past few years and will provide a near identical user experience for a fraction of the price. The biggest downside is their customer support, so it's advised you purchase through a 3rd party like Amazon that will back you should you need to make a return.
- Avoid Surface Pros. The N-trig digitizer provides a mediocre drawing experience. There are alternatives to the surface pen that may improve it, but overall it's best to just avoid entirely.

>Are screen tablets better than graphic tablets?
I wouldn't call either better than the other. They have different pros and cons.

Display tablets feel more "normal" or intuitive, more similar to working with traditional mediums.
Graphic tablets let you see your whole piece without your hand blocking it at all, and allow for better posture.
There are pros that use one or the other, or even both.

I've been drawing traditional for my entire life, and digital art for 2 and a half years with a graphic tablet, I can do hand-eye cordination well but there are points where I can't go a line I want because of the graphic tablet, but I can do those lines in paper normally, so I tend to over use the rotate screen and pan button, that's why I'm considering a screen tablet

Same experience for me, I also found that using a screenless tablet for prolonged periods of time made me slightly worse on paper in terms of hand dexterity.

That's why the consensus seems to be that if you focus on clean line work you would prefer a display tablet, painters are most suited for non-display.

Anyone tried connecting Ipad Pro to pc as a screen tablet? I tried EasyCanvas and it works well for drawing, but when it comes to paint there's this weird fuzziness in low contrast areas low it's a low bitrate stream video (which it probably is) and this makes painting somewhat unbearable as I'm not seeing details properly.

>> No.6233819

>>6233751
I think it's a trade off. With etched glass you get that rainbow grain overlay and any damage to the surface is pretty much permanent. With screen protector it gets grainy only when it's used up quite a bit, but you need to buy and replace it every few months depending on the use. It's even more hassle if the manufacturer doesn't even intend you to replace the screen protector like with cheaper cintiq's - it's harder to peel off the original film and you have to get a third party film.

Thanks OP, been looking for a color calibration guide for quite some time now.

Just a suggestion, it would be great if we can add in to the OP post to avoid Kamvas tablets that use the PW507 pens since those things have a lot of cursor drift to them. Those often go on sale so I imagine it would be tempting to newcomers to buy those and end up regreting it a few months later

That is true, although I'm not bothered by that rainbow grainy texture since you don't really notice it once you start working.

The lasting damage thing is absolutely something to consider, but if you're careful around your display and aren't moving it around a lot then the glass should hold up quite well.

Many people carry around their phones everywhere without screen protectors or cases and those don't get completely destroyed (usually).

>"permanent" adhesive that wasn't meant to be tampered with

That's how it is with the cheaper non-pro cintiq's - they use a stronger adhesive and the film is thicker compared to xp-pen, because it's not intended for you to replace the film at any point, which is weird because the surface can be scratched up just in a few months of use.
One of my friends who has cintiq 16 developed a very similar spot as on the pic. Everything in that area is a bit blurry and has the rainbow grain, which is distracting. He first thought he pressed too hard on the screen and damaged it, but then we figured out that it's just the scratches on the screen protector. He's now just using it as if it's a screenless tablet.
That's why non-pro cintiq's should be avoided, they're not worth the price with issues like this.

Well that's why a non wacom tablets are actually a reasonable option. You can get a top of the line non-wacom screen tablet for the price of a budget cintiq that will provide a much better value and comparable drawing experience (if not superior, considering the specs and the fact wacom haven't updated their tablets in years). Huion got more options with the etched glass and xp-pen got more with a replacable protective films.
I personally got huion pro 16 2.5k with etched glass and that updated pw517 pen with a shorter nib. It works perfectly fine for me, so look into it if you want a 16" screen tablet. I had intuos pro for years before I went non-wacom and it's pretty much the same drawing experience, to be honest. It's good.

I bought a large wacom intuos for about 400 bucks. I used it once and then put it away. The pen has been sitting out, it has collected dust, and fell off my desk. I wore down one nib after only 2 hours of testing the tablet out. Will have to pay $40 for a "smooth" interchangeable surface.

My extra-large mousepad is dirty. I have bought a new one for $20. I must replace my old mousepad with the new one before I use my drawing tablet again. I last used it months ago. I have no talent, no skill, but I have dreams, and a destiny.

The increased pressure sensitivity, though noticeable isn't a big difference, however I find the resolution is.

More room for menu items or even less if you need more drawing space, it does change your workflow.

If its worth the upgrade, well I might be biased but I say yes, considering that you need to replace. If you were just considering to upgrade while still having a well functioning cintiq, then it would be harder to say yes, though still a yes.

I've never seen a yellowing cintiq before, was yours by any chance constantly exposed to sunlight?

Can panel even start yellowing? I never heard about this. You have 3 filter sheets for r g b, and they don't turn yellow even in very old monitors. For the back light it's leds which are usually blue, coated to give whiter light. Would the coating material turn yellow? I imagined if anything it would lose coating and turn more blue. I know ccfl back light can turn very warm, even orange with time, but those are not in use for over decade.

Yellowing was definitely the wrong term, but the issue is hard to describe and I'm not good at display terminology. If I set a canvas to pure black over the whole screen, there's a noticeable yellow discoloration coming from a few points along the edge of the screen. It was only one side for a long while, but recently two more have appeared. I don't bother with any night mode stuff

It's called color uniformity. It's common for monitors to have a slight warmer/cooler gradients in different areas. This normally shouldn't be noticable with a decent screen. But this also is unique to the particular panel, different monitor of the same model will perform differently. I don't really know about it getting worse over time, though. Try changing the brightness to see if it will get better or worse.

every tablet will go through nibs, it's just part of plastic rubbing against a rough surface. A rough surface is necessary to give a good drawing feel that will approximately replicate the feel of pen/pencil on paper.
From my experience with half a dozen different tablets, nib wear has never been enough of an issue for me to give it any thought. Nibs are cheap and easy to replace.
Focus more on tablet specs than whether or not your nibs will wear out.
personally I think the one by wacom is too small and you'd be better off with a used intuos medium or a bigger huion/xp pen tablet.

A matte screen protector is essential unless you like the feeling of drawing on glass. It has a bit of tooth and feels more like paper. Problem is the protector gives the screen a slight iridescent look. You learn to see past it eventually.

Portability depends on how big man hands you have. I take it out to do plein airs often. Battery life is amazing, it's a non-issue on an average day

Other than the above kinks it's an amazing device, one of the best I've ever bought. My complaints usually are related to it not doing PC things, but the drawing and painting experience is simply amazing, feels fantastic, zero crashes and hookups, tons of nifty tricks. It probably boils down to whether you feel it's worth dropping the dosh and don't want to wait for the new model

having been lucky enough to use a kamvas 22 plus and a 24 inch cintiq pro, I gotta say that the chinese brands are not quite at parity with wacom just yet. That being said it certainly is close enough that I wouldn't be willing to drop $1500 to make the difference in my current situation.

Just be aware that the new Cintiq Pro 16 has a manufacturing defect where the display panel gets popped out of the case. I had that issue when I bought mine from Amazon, then I reached out to Wacom and they sent me a new one that was even worse.

You can pop it back in but there's still some give and inconsistencies around the edges. It doesn't affect the performance in any way from what I experienced, but I wasn't sure if it was going to lead to other issues down the line.

I also thought that I'd be happy working with 16 inch but it was too cramped for me personally, so I ended up getting a Pro 24.

If budget was a concern I'd definitely go with the Kamvas Pro 24 4K, I've heard really great things about it, and on paper it has everything that you need: amazing screen, color accuracy, size, performance, no loud fan issues.
