Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284

Do not read anything into pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
If you have any additional questions, ask them.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills.

Recommended tablets:

>Screenless:
Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom

>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9"
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22HD, Cintiq Pro 27 - Make sure they have VESA standard mounting holes.

>Avoid:
XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations.
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 8 years, nothing has really changed. Consider reading the amazon reviews, particularly the negative spectrum and you will find some very common themes.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. Someone in the /csg/ general on /g/ once got an email from Gearbest asking him to post positively about them on the "csg chinkshit general thread". You will very likely see dozens upon dozens of aggressive, insult-laden posts in this thread, especially whining about the OP. They are from the shill department.

>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.

>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad

>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface

>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

Wacom - 1080p 22" display with a plastic screen protector and 72% ntsc.

Amazon works for most people since it's Wacom and the price anywhere is going to be the about the same. The bigger you can afford the better but at a certain price range you might as well go for a screen tablet even if another brand because drawing on the Intuos and looking up at a screen is very different from drawing on the screen. Screenless Wacoms go from cheap (the little starter ones) to expensive very quickly for just a bit more. Drawing on the screen is better even if it isn't a Wacom brand. I've never used anything other than Wacom so I dunno just saying if I were starting with a graphics tablet for the first time today.

PSA: Don't be unlucky like me.

My One by Wacom tablet was scratched up after 1 day of use. I tought my environment is too dusty or some shit, but turns out, the nib included in my pen was cylinder shaped like this on both ends. I replaced it with the other nibs that are round, but fuck man, I would have returned this.

Other brands seem much better value, I mean, I just want some buttons, working on keyboard is ok but buttons would be preferable. And sure you can tell me other brands might not be as good, but for a total beg, I really dont mind.

Guy with the Pro 17 here, I thought about why this shit and all the other ones releasing is priced so high and it kinda makes sense. Kinda. There's still the Wacom tax, but a 4k 120hz monitor that you can touch and use a pen on is a premium. There isn't anything comparable to this, which makes them ahead of the curve. Thing is, no one actually needs this shit. That's why you go with the other options. They all basically do the same thing now. Reviews suck because they don't go back to review the most important thing which is longevity.

Well I don't know what to tell you. I have two drawing gloves. One definitely doesn't have any PR at all (I didn't have an android tablet and this didn't need PR at the time), as I can easily use touchscreen devices with it. Those are designed for "drawing" tablets which already don't accept touch input. But then I also recently bought an S6 Lite tablet for sketching away from my computer, and I bought another glove with palm rejection. It's a lot thicker at the bottom, and works well for preventing my canvas from moving around when I lift the stylus a little too high off the canvas.
Obviously I would encourage any anon looking for the second type of glove to do their due diligence in ensuring a particular listing actually has that feature, and that it's implemented effectively. Checking ratings and reviews that specifically mention palm rejection tend to be good indicators. But I thoroughly reject the assertion that they're nonexistent.

The tablet, the difference will be negligible.
One of the downsides of the Intuos 3 for example is that it came out when CRT monitors were still the norm so it has a lot of waste-but using the "force proportions" setting or mapping it properly on Linux is a must. Losing a solid two inches on the bottom of the active area sucks but it's still very nearly as accurate as a current generation Large tablet, just a less convenient footprint.

>> No.6927981

I found 3 interesting listings, I want sincere opinions on which is the best.
1. Both an Intuos 3 and 4, with some noticeable marks of use, for what is equivalent to $74

2. An intuos 3 in seemingly good condition with the mouse and everything, only some mild marks of use, for around $50

3. A Cth-470 for 20$. It doesn't look like it comes with the box, but it looks pretty good from the pictures.

Interesting I really figured resizing krita to 16:10 and losing some space would be the move.

Also, is it possible to improve the touch functionality in Krita so it's more like the typical pinch/zoom/rotate experience in procreate? Right now it just zooms in/out 20%, it's very jarring.

Thanks to this place I ended up going for an Intuos Pro 5 Large for €150. I'm still a bit paranoid about wear though, so I've taped a sheet of A4 paper over the drawing surface, so any scrapes will be on the paper not the surface.
Silly? Good idea? Messing with my pressure? Took me a while to learn that I wasn't damaging anything no matter how much it felt like I was scraping things. It does feel like using a pencil in paper, but my instincts tell me it shouldn't.

Because the Cintiqs have the same vertical dimensions as the iPad Pro 12.9 and the Galaxy Tab Ultra.
Extra horizontal space isn't actually that useful without more vertical space. You're not going to be able to use your shoulder's range of motion any more than the 12.9" iPad Pro.
16" helps you see a bit more for landscape drawings, but it still doesn't help much.

I own over a dozen Intuos 3s I plan on giving away to people I believe will reap the most benefit out of them, typically the only issues I've encountered thus far are purely cosmetic (they are extremely durable compared to every subsequent model, not entirely invincible), but if a tablet gets dropped or gets spilled on or something like that it could certainly cause unpredictable behavior like that. I've run afoul of one or two that had a short in the wire or something and refused to work entirely but it it's been pretty rare. I wouldn't discourage people from buying used in general from a reputable seller, just make sure they look to be in good cosmetic condition and the internal condition is usually . These devices generate zero heat and have no moving parts, apart from the stylus they will last a very long time if taken care of properly.

What you need to do is make sure you have "Force Proportions" active in the Wacom driver, this will cut off about an inch and a half/two inches from the tablet's vertical active area. Take a screenshot of the icon that shows the active area relative to the computer monitor. After that, select "custom area" or something like that and try and match the red bouncing box in that icon-but with the active area being the bottom of the tablet (closer to you) rather than the top.

If you put something to raise your keyboard up a bit you can then nestle the inactive portion of the tablet underneath the keyboard and It'll save you a couple inches of depth on your desk.

I have a lot of experience both with screen tablets (Cintiq 12WX and Cintiq 27QHD) and those tablets without (Intuos 3, 4, 5 and Pro) and for what it's worth, this is the truth as I feel it myself. A screen tablet is preferable to a small or perhaps even a medium intuos because of the discrepancy between the size of the display and the tablet's surface area, but a large intuos bridges this gap well enough to be the best of both worlds.

As I said in the post, I've had a Cintiq 27QHD as well as much more recent models of Intuos, in either case, I have more experience with both the tools of the trade and of drawing in general than you do.

A nearly 20 year old Intuos 3 is far more durable and very nearly as accurate as a $600 [Current Year] Pro. The only downside is the overall footprint being a little larger because it was made at the time when CRT monitors were still common.

So I'm looking to get a new tablet, as I've been using an intuos pro medium for about 7 years or so. I'm looking to upgrade and I can't figure which would be the ideal one for me with my budget. Is it a good idea to upgrade to a large intuos pro, or would an ipad pro or a cintiq 16/22 be better?
I don't travel so I feel like having the portability for the ipad would be lost on me, but I do like that you can draw horizontally on that, where has the cintiqs have more vertical space, which is mostly lost on me. Also the color accuracy and resolution on the wacom are abysmal. I don't trust any other companies in terms of quality/longevity. I want this thing to last me a minimum of 5 years.

I've had a bamboo, intuos 3, 4, and 5, 3 different generations of ipad, a surface pro, cintiq 24hd, huion 22 plus, and a kamvas studio 16. I've also used a wacom one, cintiq 24 pro, and artist 24 pro. No, you do not have more experience than I do.
The durability of my drawing tablet isn't a factor I give the slightest of shits about because I'm not a toddler that bangs my toys around.

The ipad/apple pencil is okay but I do find it funny when homebody NEETs buy them thinking they're going to start bringing these expensive devices around with them everywhere they go, it just doesn't happen and it's often not advisable in either case unless you live somewhere street crime is all but unheard of.

Some of the strongest artists I'm in personal contact with have or even currently use Medium tablets-but I'm always pushing them to consider investing in a Large one and with those who I'd been successful in convincing have always been very appreciative. Because you already have the stylus, you can often find a tablet without the stylus for A LOT cheaper than if it does have one and I truly think it represents a considerable upgrade from what you're using now. Check ebay, facebook marketplace and craigslist or whatever your local equivalent to sites like that may be for a large Intuos Pro tablet without a stylus and give it a try.

I've been alternating between an Intuos 3 PTZ-930 and Intuos 3 PTZ-631W for the past few years and both of them are essentially blemish-free. However, I believe that any Intuos model will last a very long time if taken care of, I would just encourage you to get some kind of a surface cover for it, whether one of Wacom's or a third party.

When I say durability I'm referring to the active area of the tablet and things like the stylus nibs. With the Intuos 4 and up Wacom applied a gritty surface texture they claimed to offer some sort of authentic feeling to drawing but really it was just a planned obsolescence scheme which makes your tablet look and feel like shit to draw on before too long. This makes the user feel like they're due to purchase another, apart from that, the nibs wear away within days.

>> No.6940571

>>6940548
Yeah ahah, that makes sense. For me, the only reason I'd get the ipad is because it hits the most notes for me and what I would use it for in terms of quality/functionality.

This is interesting about the intuos large though, this certainly sounds like a good compromise. My workflow heavily relies on line work, so that's quite important to me. Having something I can upgrade to from this without having to break the bank is always a win(even though I was kind of hoping you would still recommend the ipad lol).

I have an ipad with the Apple Pencil, but despite the significant parallax on the Cintiq 12WX in comparison I greatly prefer drawing on it. For one, not having touch functionality is actually a plus in my mind because it seems to get triggered inadvertently in Procreate A LOT. Not sure if more recent models are better about that or if I'm really supposed to wear some shitty glove to prevent it but I honestly don't care much: At the end of the day with an ipad I've found I'm just drawing on a way smaller screen than my laptop's with zero net benefit.

I think we have a tendency to feel that [next product] will be the thing that pushes our work over the edge and that's probably why this other gentleman and myself have gone through many disparate devices to begin with. That line of thinking isn't always completely in error, though. My first drawing tablet was the Graphire 3 which would have been nigh unusable even with my now many years' experience, however because I didn't know any better/have any context I thought I was the problem. I thought that I just wasn't capable of using a tablet without a screen-and I think a lot of beginner artists that get stuck with small and even medium tablets get caught up in that line of thinking.

I have a pack of 3d printed nibs that are pretty wear resistant, and my surface is doing alright for the time I've had it. Honestly, it's the pen that might give out before anything else.
Doesn't seem Intuos sheets are still being manufactures so I'm looking for ways to replace them still (other than paper).

When I was using my Intuos 5 I would buy these clear plastic sheets made by a company called "POSRUS" which are basically a cut-to-size fitted piece of acetate plastic or whatever, with some kind of two-way tape applied to the edges of it. They are a colossal ripoff at $20+ considering you can put basically anything over your tablet and it will still activate properly. I feel like marker paper as opposed to drawing paper (which is slick rather than gritty because it's made to accept wet media) would make a good tablet cover with the right adhesive.

>> No.6940638

-Good I mean in the sense that it would both protect your tablet's actual surface and also not wear your nibs down as bad as its actual surface or any comparable cover would do. I know you said specifically other than paper but it's really a much different feel and might be something worth looking into.

A smaller tablet is-perhaps ironically-worse for small details. See my earlier post, basically some of the smallest strokes you can make will cross damn near the entire length of your monitor. The test I'd done was with a 17-inch laptop monitor, but the disconnect will be proportionally worse the larger your monitor is relative to your drawing surface. Just get a tablet most fit to draw on in general, which is for Wacom ANY Large model Intuos model 3 or up, and for Huion the WH1409 v2.

I don't know shit about XP Pen but I will be purchasing a few different ones soon.

Hi anon i have mz intous 3 a4 and i like it, the onlz thing is the pen, it es very shaky and the nib feels very loose.
I have an ipad, but dont like it at all. I want a new screenless tablet, with a good, tight pen.
It should have a good build quality and should be not smaller than my old wacom (28cm width). And it should have a smooth surface
Are the chinese ones good?
I could by the intous pro large, but its bz far the most expensive one with 350 euros and you have to by the smooth serface extra, for another 60 euros and then reskin your brand new tablet. 410 euros, for a diy product? Is there really nothing better than this?

Yeah, I went through quite a few of them when I was using the Intuos 5. I really wish I could have found the right material so I could share that with others because it does work well and last a while-it's just that the material and adhesive combined would probably be <$5 instead of $20+, I might start looking into it again.

Ultimately though the need to replace those over and over again was one of the reasons I ultimately started gravitating to the Intuos 3, the surface durability is no joke. I've been alternating between a PTZ-930 (9x12 model) and PTZ-631W (6x11 model,I use it at my parents' house and at work because it fits really well in a backpack), drawing for hours almost every night and neither of them have any kind of visible wear.

The intuos pro has a replaceable surface, it's supposed to be a consumable item. That's why it's got a much rougher and honestly nicer texture than most other screenless tablets. And I don't even use an intuos pro anymore, but don't go around bleating about how that proves it's bad or something. It's overpriced, but very good if you can get one used.

Definitely get a screened chinese tablet rather than buying one new tho.

I was talking about the surface anon, not the nibs. But even then I can't be too mad about the nibs tbdesu, the reason they get demolished on the pro is because the surface is much rougher, which translates to a nicer drawing feel. The intuos pro and cintiq lines both use the same pen, it's the surface that wears them, not the nibs. If you really hate it then you can replace the surface with a smooth one, but that kinda defeats the point of the intuos pro for me.

I have UGEE 16 and I got it for $150 off of Amazon and it's actually good. I also have had a Cintiq 20wsx which I would still be using if the screen didn't die on it. I had a Huion 20 inch which would be good if the pressure response wasn't weird. I went through two huion stylus because I thought maybe I had a faulty pen but it was just their pens are shit. I also have a few other things ipads, windows tablets, samsung tablets. I also had a Cintiq 24hd with touch which I sold off. The damn thing really isn't worth the $2 grand I paid for it.

In fact I won't recommend wacom anymore unless you can get them at a cheap price. Their pricing structure is based on industry studios buying them or photographers that want that color accuracy.

I really think that one of the big samsung tablets is the way to go combined with the SuperDisplay app is just as good a cintiq for way less money and then being able to take it anywhere for sketching is a big bonus.

Nothing so perfect as the Intuos 3 will ever be made (by Wacom) again, it's too pure, too perfect for [current year + 8], and unless you're one of those "Pass Me the Controller Bro" Cheetos Dust-lookin'-head-ass-nibbas who punch a hole in your drywall every time you drop a round in Third Strike it could easily accompany you through a decade or more of regular drawing even as old as it is now.

The more recent Intuos Pro model does have a compromise to its previous iterations in the form of the easily replaceable surface. In the end it's yet another costly planned obsolescence scheme (these sheets are $40 on Wacom's website and their nib-destructive design is going to cost you a lot over time as well) but it's one that I think is ultimately preferable to the idea of the tablet itself becoming so decrepit within months of intermittent use that the temptation to discard the whole thing sets in, as was the case with many of the previous models.

Is it worth the investment? Maybe. I'm a big advocate that no expense should be spared in pursuit of the ideal, it's just that through experimentation I've found that what I believe to be the ideal is actually much less expensive than we might otherwise think-especially over time. What shortcomings the Intuos 3 has compared to present day models are offset by its strengths.

>>6944715
With regards to Huion, the Huion WH1409 on its face had the best design of any tablet I'd ever used at that point. It had a significantly smaller overall footprint than the large wacom models while retaining a larger active area. The Huion stylus sucks though-or did (not sure if the V2 model had corrected this), not only because it needed to be charged regularly and would eventually fail entirely because of it, but also because the nib was enormous and was designed to depress into the body of the stylus slightly which felt weird-to say nothing of the unappealing "plastic on plastic" surface feel.

Oh, you can ask my why it's good. Here's why it's good:

It's 94% as accurate as a $500 current generation model and has zero planned obsolescence features like a sandpaper texture surface or weak nibs.

Here, then is what's bad about it:
It is somewhat bulkier
Its hotkeys are clumsy
On paper it has less pressure sensitivity levels (never noticed a serious difference in output though)

>15 years old

It's a bit older than that lol-but see this table and look where it says "digitizer resolution". Notice anything interesting? I'll help you out: this shows that the tech inside the tablets has been essentially unchanged this entire time and it's just the arrangement of the hotkeys and the addition of wireless connectivity and spyware hard baked into the driver that's changed. This table was on Wacom's official wikipedia page and was removed like a week after I screenshot it and started posting it in these threads-maybe it was less. Was an interesting coincidence but nonetheless I think people should be aware of it.

1)I'm not drawing professionally, just getting back at drawing after almost 10 years of stopping
2)Because of space, I only have a small area I can work with right now. I have can't just move around the keyboard
3)Price, because well, bigger tablets mean higher price.
what I care most is that the tablet is good so that I won't regret it
