For me, it's the Intuos 3 Medium PTH-651 from Wacom. Yup. Haven't done any updates since I bought this and going 7 years strong, it just works. Bought a refurbished one as a back up just in case. They just don't make them like they used to because they're discontinued now.

>>7079281
no, it's the anti aliasing pic related to the right is the one I want

>>7080289
Why is this desirable?

>>7080343
it's hard to explain

>>7080358
Is it just some kind of weird nostalgia thing? Or like when people make art in paint to try to flex how they used a shitty program?

What is the most beginner friendly digital art software? I'm using Krita right now but it's kind of overwhelming. Do I just need to keep messing around with options and shortcuts until it's second nature?

>>7080476
Krita's shit unintuitive garbage made for Linux users to jerk off to how tech savvy they are. Go try a free trial of csp

>>7080443
I'm not explaining

>>7080476
krita is fine. you only need to understand layers and the brush tool. everything else you can learn over time. don't get csp, krita is free (no accounts, no payments) and will shit on csp in the future (or even now depending on who you ask).

>>7080498
I hate kritafags so fucking much. Literally just faggot hipsters of the art world.
>bro vinyl is SO much like better man, you can like FEEL the emotion of the music through like the sound waves

Any advice for learning how to paint digitally? Very unsatisfied with only making sketches. Program is Autodesk Sketchbook mobile if that helps.

asking again. thoughts on the S9 fe+?

>>7080115
The Intuos Pro had a chance to be a successor with the separately sold smooth surface but then Wacom went and discontinued that so they could keep selling nib sandpaper

>>7080598
so stop supporting wacom

>>7080550
is good, what else do you want to know

>>7080647
I have an Intuos 3 and don't plan to get any other Wacom product as long as they continue on their current trajectory.
If I do get anything it would be second hand cause fuck their stupid prices.

I've been looking for a used intuos pro medium pth660, what's the current fair market price for it? Also is it much better than display tablet from chinese competitors?

>>7080831
>Also is it much better than display tablet from chinese competitors?
Is a taco better than a cheeseburger?

>>7080842
Well, it's both junkfood so yes you can compare it. I'd say taco though.

>>7080846
The point is one isn't better or worse than the other. A pen tablet is very different from a display tablet.
If you're wondering about performance, literally any tablet from any of the market leaders will be perfectly fine to draw with.
Your art won't be better or worse whether you sell your kidney to buy a wacom or flip burgers for a weekend to buy a huion/xp pen.

>>7080476
>most beginner friendly digital art software
Unironically SAI. No frills, just drawing.

>>7080481
nta but after the trial ends what now?

>>7081043
ahoy!

>>7080970
This. You open SAI and know immediately how to begin.

>>7081043
Steal it, make a new account, or she'll out the $20 it gives on sale for constantly

>>7081084
Is it possible for Android?

>>7081232
After about 7 seconds of googling, it sounds like a pain in the ass to get running to save yourself like $1 a month, but

>>7081271

>>7081271
>>7081274
fuuuuck, I better get used to the alternatives cuz that sounds like a pain in the ass

>>7081398
hipaint or infinite painter are probably the best alternatives.
I have no idea how the krita app is on a tablet. I tried it on my phone and it was unusable, but I only have a 6.8" screen.

What's the difference between xp pen deco 01v2 and deco pro? Also how is deco pro compared to wacom intuos pro?

can you draw an amazing art using a small tablet? i have the wacom intuos small

>>7080104
After scouring the internet for months, I think I can conclude that the best Wacum Cintiq alternative is Xencelabs Pen Display. Huion and Xp Pen leddit has too many lemon posts, Wacum has jew pricing so Xencelab is the bang for the buck.

>>7082615
You can make amazing art with anything as long as your fundamentals and creative ideas are on point

>>7082751
thanks for the reply! gotcha

>>7082993
>>7082615
You're still much better off using something bigger, small shit leads to bad habits and feels bad to use.

Ipadbros, do you guys prefer Procreate or Artstudio Pro? I've been using Procreate but I just downloaded Artstudio and it seems pretty cool.

>>7083848
Procreate just werks

>>7083848
I really want to say ASP but I'm too used to Poocreate's UI. ASP is also kinda expensive so I haven't bought it, just doodled with the demo.

After using my pen table for a while, it ended up with some scratches. Is there any way to fix this or at least prevent it from getting worse?

>>7085401
No

>>7080508
Vinyl is objectively high quality though, like in the same way that film from the 30s still holds up. And I like CSP, but there's no way I'd buy it at this point after the shit Celsys pulled.

>>7085849
>after the shit Celsys pulled
what shit exactly?

>>7080104
Why do brushes in Procreate feel so much worse than they do in CSP? If I import the exact same brush in both, they feel like two completely different brushes.
I still haven't found a brush in Procreate that can replicate the basic ass G-Pen from CSP.

>>7085868
different brush engine
I gave up trying to find a good g pen and just use my ipad for sketching

>>7085851
That shit they pulled with their pricing and having to connect to the internet to verify your license every few weeks. That was asinine, especially after years of goodwill from just about everybody in the art community. Why should I have to put up with paying for an update pass instead of buying another program for a 1 time purchase or using something free like krita? I still have the original version of Clip so I'll keep using that but there's no way I'd bother with the new ones at this point.

>>7085896
>That shit they pulled with their pricing
What shit? I paid $20 for 2.0 with a free upgrade when 3.0 drops.
>and having to connect to the internet to verify your license
I'm not a 3rd worlder so I don't care. Just pirate their shit or stay on 1._ forever, not like there are any significant changes on the current version anyway.
Software has almost always required buying newer versions in the past. I don't remember anyone bitching when cs2/cs3/cs4/cs5/cs6 were released and required their own license, or when manga studio became csp. But for some reason it's a problem now?
Do you also complain about video game or movie sequels requiring you buy them?

>>7086350
Buying a new version to get the updates is fine, but why change that to having to buy a pass just so I can have updates for a version I already paid for? that's just pure greed, and I don't care to support that when I could use something else instead. Also there's no reason any program on my computer that isn't a web browser needs 24/7 access to my internet, unless they wanted to sell my data to somebody else.

I'm gonna use a Gaomon S620 to draw and you can't do anything to stop me.
God it sucks being poor.

Are seperate stylus' a thing for the XP Pen Deco 01 v2? like is there a stylus I could buy that's similar to the apple pen

We know about drawing tablet to do digital art. But in cellphone I heard about artists that draws with cellphone like a Juarez (ilustrator of brazilian manga, Insane Crow), but I don't know about a phones models for drawing, I need recommendations to know about cellphone models regardless of cell phone brand.

To recommend a cellphone, you need to talk about:
>Cellphone model
>Cellphone brand
>GB of storage and RAM
>Why is ideal for drawings

>>7088317
Just buy an ipad retard

>>7088317
I got s22 ultra just to try it, its doable, but its not an enjoyable experience. if I couldn't bring something bigger like an ipad mini at the very minimum, I might as well bring 9x6 scratchpads, since I personally prefer to enjoy the process if I can help it.

Its possible to use it in a pinch but something the size of an Ipad is still preferable. I will also note that clip studio is crippled on the device unless you buy the more expensive subscription options, ironically you'll lose pressure sensitivity going from free option to lower tier subscription which is fucking dumb.

>>7088544
You used autodesk sketchbook in your galaxy s23 ultra?

>>7088317
Phones are just too small to be able to draw on them comfortably. I did it for around a year and when I went back to drawing on a tablet, it really put into perspective how much a phone stunts you. It's bad, like drawing with a mouse. Yes, you can make amazing drawings with a mouse but you're also making the process 10 times as laborious.

Just buy a used iPad, or a regular drawing tablet.

>>7088544
blog?

>>7088569
Yeah, its reasonably feature complete app. Although I did not use it extensively, because I couldn't get used to some of its gestures, I prefer one finger pan and on-screen tools of the clipstudio. Although from my experience, if you are using one of the alternative emr pens, it feels like there might be gaps in pressure sensitivity coverage. Its possible to fix it through pressure curves, but I haven't found a solution to it yet. The build in pen doesn't have this issue however its uncomfortable and it smells like burning plastic because of the build in charging coils. The pro-pen has similar issues but I don't know if S23 or later have remedy this problem.

I finded your arts on Blusky.

>>7088012
As far as I know, xp pen's pens are more model specific than other brands for some reason.
They do have a slimmer pen, but I don't know of ots compatible woth the deco 01 v2

>>7088317
I have a note 10+
It's okay for sketching
It's no where near ideal though, and I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a new phone just for that. If you're already looking for a new phone anyway though, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get one you can also draw on.
Has anyone tried a galaxy fold?

>>7089346
>Has anyone tried a galaxy fold?
I doubt it'd be good given the middle of the screen being caved in

>>7089357
I can't imagine any phone being truly good, but I just wonder if it's the least worst.

>>7089368
I'd say probably the 24 Ultra would be the least worst

>>7089369
other than the lack of hinge, I don't see how a 24 ultra would be better than a z fold
the fold is basically a mini samsung tab

>>7089652
The screen itself, in the middle, where it folds, has an actual FOLD there that's concave in the screen.
Nothing that affects normal use of a phone, but for drawing, well, you can imagine what that might be like

should i buy an old wacom or a new huion inspiroy? desu a brand new huion is still cheaper

>>7089739
>desu a brand new huion is still cheaper
There's your answer

>>7080289
right one is without antialiasing you dunc
krita has it
gimp has it
mypaint has it
azpainter has it
haven't used any other programs but they probably do as well. if you have a specific program in mind you should be able to look it up

>>7089711
For phone doodling, I can't imagine it mattering that much.

>>7080289
>>7090429
CSP has anti aliasing settings for each brush, but I've heard it doesn't work that well and you still get some transparency though. People suggest just making separate layers for each color and making them monochromatic.

>>7085401
lol, cratered babmoo users unite!
the plastic on the front is just glued on so with care and patience it can be in theory removed if first disconnected from the inside
trouble is, the touch sensing circuitry is quite thin and is hard to separate, but if you don't care for that feature you can rip it off and replace it with appropriate thickness vinyl

I didn't expect an actual reply. I don't care about the touch feature so I'll take a look at that tutorial you linked. Thank you, anon!

>>7090598
i think the difficult part will be sourcing decent replacement material and cutting it to required shape
unless you have one of those workshops nearby

Does anyone have any experience with the artist pro 16 gen 2? How good is it?
Right now i have an old xp deco 3 that i want to upgrade, i mainly use zbrush but i dont discard doing drawing in the future, one of my questions is if any of you feel the screen too small when using other software and if its worth over other models

Also are those felt nibs a meme or do they really make you feel like drawing in paper?

>>7090674
>How good is it?
It's the best non-rape priced 16" tablet on the market, and 16" is fine to work on. The only other tablet I would consider in the same price range is either buying 2nd hand, or getting a kamvas 22 plus if you want a larger screen.

>>7080550
Good screen, good pen, good performance, good price.

>>7090765
i see
second is not an option where i live and that kamvas 22 feels too big so i guess ill go with the pro 16
thanks

anyone tried the XP Pen magic drawing pad yet? looks better than Samsung and maybe even apple

>>7091958
Both brad colbow and teoh on tech mention that the cursor is misaligned slightly unless you hold the pen near vertically.
My assumption is that the pen is using a point further down the nib as its center point, so if you have the pen angled, it detects it slightly down the shaft from where the tip of your nib is.
That and the CPU brand it uses (some cheaper chinkshit instead of snapdragon that samsung uses) are the only complaints I've seen.
I'm waiting to get one to find out if they address the calibration issue, or if it's fixable by just using a different pen or something, and also to see if the cpu brand they chose has longevity problems.

>>7092243
according to some random fucking guy in the youtube comment section:
>I've bought one, and I find the drawing experience a little better than this review makes it look - simply because he's being so thorough here and getting close-up. Cursor misalignment is noticeable but I've got used to it, up to a point. I understand they're working on an update to correct this.

Where he heard about this software update, I have no clue. I tried to comb through their twitter and website and found no mention of it.

According to some random fucking guys on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/XPpen/comments/1autwj3/cursor_misalignement_in_magic_drawing_pad/
> on Clip Studio Paint and Ibis you can calibrate this issue. I thought it might be a big problem. Since using the tablet, I don't notice the issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/XPpen/comments/1abq3oz/magic_drawing_pad_clip_studio_paint_compatibility/
>There's cursor misalignment due to angle of the pen, but CSP can calibrate for cursor misalignment.

Also I guess there's no tilt, so if that's a problem, this isn't for you.
personally I find tilt (and even moreso rotation) relatively worthless, but I don't use brushes where it matters.

XpDoes anyone draw with a mouse

>>7080104
whats the best pen pressure curve for emulating just sketching? , I heard setting your hardness on Hard isnt recommended

>t.XP pen pro 16

>>7092699
there's no such thing as a
>best
pressure curve. use what works for you.
CSP and I assume other software that has a feature to auto generate a pressure curve has you just draw how you normally would and sets what they think would work best for you.

Generally if you draw with a lighter touch, something like pic related (mine) is common. If you're more heavy handed, the curve will go the other way.

>>7092836
Will do anon, and i might be shifting/practicing towards something akin to that since a friend suggested it, I used to be on super firm but lately its been fucking my strokes/harder to draw in general lately

>Get an Artisul M0610 pro for 18$ including shipping
>Drivers are outdated and resets itself constantly
>Contact support and get ghosted
>Thought I got scammed the price was too good to be true
>Try connecting it without drivers on Windows 11 and it just works

Only thing I can't use are the buttons which are set to control windows media. For its price its a steal. Though I can never trust that company in the future if they decide to make another product.

>>7092875
reminds me of when I started drawing, I bought a Genius M712 for cheap

most of the board was unusable, if you moved your pen anywhere near the middle of the tablet it would freak out, so I had to draw on one of the corners, the drivers spazzed out constantly as well

I will never gamble my money on cheap shit again

I didn't need it but for $13 I figured I could try screenless after using a display for so long, and just flip it if it sucks. Shit's practically brand new.

>>7093984
always good to have a backup tablet if your screen one blows up tho so keep it even if you don't like it

it's a bit weird going back to it from a screen tablet but you get used to that quick

>>7093998
I have 2 portable tablets plus my desktop display, so not worried about a backup really, but wanted to give screenless a try since I see some pros use both

>>7092875
>>7093984
where do you get these hyper cheap tablets?
amazon? ali?
i would like to get one just for the shit and giggles

Which Inspiroy is better, H430P or H640P?

Which Inspiroy is better, H430P or H640P? And how does One by Wacom (small) compare? Price between these three is a non-factor, but if you have other suggestions they have to be in the same range.

>>7095091
that depends anon, do you want to draw on a post it note or a flash card?
Of those, the h640p is the best option. but "splurging" and going an extra $10-20 will get you a deco 01 v2 which has an actually usable work area unlike the three you mentioned. small drawing tablets are dogshit that build bad drawing habits.

What pressure sensitivity should I set my Huion Kamvas GT 191 ?

I adjusted my sitting posture and it feels slightly better

>>7095387
Deco 01 v2 is about 1.5-2 times more expensive here. 640 it is then.

>>7095701
before you pull the trigger on the 640, how much is either the 580x or inspiroy 2 m?

Poorfag here, im between the galaxy tab s9 fe+ and the xiaomi pad 6, the xiaomi is 1.5 inches smaller, and doesn't come with a pen, but has a stronger cpu, and it's 60 dollars cheaper, with that money i would buy a decent pen. Which one do i choose?

>>7095998
>stronger cpu
Completely meaningless for drawing

>>7096090
isn't a better cpu/gpu good for future-proofing? Like, can't the drawing apps get stuttery in higher resolutions after a few years of usage?

is CSP 3.0 faster or is it the same thing with feature creep

>>7096431
>when will they actually make the program run better on windows

>>7096223
not particularly, in some apps it makes layer manipulation faster but a textured brush at size 1000 will bring an S9 Ultra to its knees all the same

>Have to buy older version of program before you can buy the latest edition
Wow Celsys can go fuck themselves. Who fucking does this?

>>7096754
it's because they're japanese, there's no other country on earth that could come up with such a convoluted and hostile business model

Is there any alternative for Wacom pen that doesn't include any buttons? I'm having issues on getting used on them due to its tickness and how careful I should be for now mis hitting any of those 2 buttons.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread, but is anyone able to view the decompression password? I'm having trouble trying to make an account (it's for CSP 3.0)

https://bbs.itzmx.com/thread-105948-1-1.html

>>7096872
Disable them.

>>7096754
>Have to buy older version of program before you can buy the latest edition
No?
How the fuck is that what you gathered from what that graph says?

>>7097205
Bottom row. You have to upgrade from 1-2 then 2-3.
If you could go straight to V3 there wouldn't be a need for that connecting line. And on the upgrade page on their website the options are the same, V1-V2 or V2-V3. If you want just V3 you have to get a new license, but then you can't the upgrade discount despite already having the OG CSP.

>>7097245
>If you want just V3 you have to get a new license
So you don't have to buy older versions first.

>>7097249
That's such a backwards-ass system though. In a few years when version 4 or 5 rolls around, what are you supposed to do then? Keep buying new licenses instead of just upgrading? What do you even do with the old ones? Who came up with this idea?

>>7097300
>Keep buying new licenses instead of just upgrading?
You just upgrade.

Anyway, the fact that they had to design convoluted flowcharts to explain this is beyond retarded.

>>7097300
>In a few years when version 4 or 5 rolls around, what are you supposed to do then?
Upgrade your previous license or just stay on the older version.
I assume anyone complaining is just extremely young, since this business model isn't new. Photoshop didn't give you cs5 for free if you bought a (much much much) more expensive than csp license for cs4 prior.

>>7097550
Willing to bet some of them are younger than how long I’ve been drawing from the way they post, hah.

>buy csp 1.0 like 8 years ago for $20
>upgrade 1.0 to 2.0 at a discount for $13.99 on 3/14/2023
>It's $16 to upgrade to 3.0 (at a discount) on 3/14/2024, exactly one year later

So if I just pay $10.99/year with their sub model, I would not only get every updated version, but save money over actually upgrading to the latest perpetual version every time?
This is so fucking gay. I assume it's all intentional to try to get people to transition to subscriptions instead. I think I'll just stay on 2.0 forever, not like they ever add any features anyone gives a shit about.

is it really worth it to switch from 1 to 3?
20 bucks is cheap, but I think I'll just be paying for features I won't use anyways

>>7097736
look at what features have been added
are any of them anything you would use?
if not, why bother switching?

>>7097550
>>7097569
Could you imagine if you had to buy every installment in a game series (For example Final Fantasy VII to XIII) before you actually got to play the game you wanted? Photoshop was expensive but at least you could skip a release if none of the new features appealed to you. What other software has a business model like this?
SAI never did. Corel Painter never did. Why should anyone
put up with bullshit like this?

How does the Surface Pro 8 hold up to Apple and Samsung tablets in terms of pen input? Is it a major improvement over previous Surface models?
I'll be selling my abandoned SP 2017 for a new Windows tablet and was wondering if upgrading would be worth it.

>>7097815
>Could you imagine if you had to buy every installment in a game series (For example Final Fantasy VII to XIII) before you actually got to play the game you wanted?
you don't have to do that you fucking moron. You can buy a standalone license for 3.0 with no prior licenses. you just can't get a discounted upgrade from 1>3 directly. There's absolutely no logical reason to do that anyway, seeing as how buying a perpetual license for 3.0 costs less, and would let you have 2 licenses if you ever wanted CSP on another device.
>but at least you could skip a release if none of the new features appealed to you.
You can still do that. Were your parents related?

>>7097835
it's a major improvement over older surfaces, still not enough to recommend over the other options if it's gonna be your main drawing hardware

>>7097837
Then we're back to the original question of what do you do with all the different licenses you bought instead of upgrading. Both options make no sense.
>There's absolutely no logical reason to do that anyway, seeing as how buying a perpetual license for 3.0 costs less, and would let you have 2 licenses if you ever wanted CSP on another device.
Upgrading is cheaper than buying a new license though, and you could use 1 license for two devices already, so buying another one shouldn't be necessary, it also still has the problem of buying ANOTHER brand new license after V3, then you'd have three new licenses for like, 6 different computers. That would make sense for a company maybe, but as a single user this a waste of time.

>>7097866
If his goal is a full windows tablet, the surface pro is basically his only option unless he wants to drop $1700 on a kamvas studio

>>7097916
there's also the galaxy books with stylus support although they're also pretty expensive

>>7097913
>Then we're back to the original question of what do you do with all the different licenses you bought instead of upgrading.
Just ignore them?
>and you could use 1 license for two devices already
Not really.

>>7097920
>Just ignore them?
Why would I buy a product that I wasn't intending on using? That's just a complete waste of time and money. If it was like the different versions of Photoshop when it was sold physically and you couldn't run an older version on the OS you were using, then that would make sense. But Clip studio isn't even sold physically anymore, there's no reason you should have to buy a new license.
I feel like we as consumers except too much shit from companies nowadays when you can't even use a product you bought on two devices at the same. Imagine telling someone that 10 -15 years ago. they'd call you a scam artist. Why put up with shitty business practices when there are better options?

>>7097946
>Why would I buy a product that I wasn't intending on using?
You already used it...?
>when you can't even use a product you bought on two devices at the same. Imagine telling someone that 10 -15 years ago. they'd call you a scam artist.
That was commonplace.
>when there are better options?
Like what? Photoshop? Krita isn't on the same level.

is this a good display tablet? its a 22inch Huion GS2201

>>7098643
It's okay. GS2202 (22 plus) is a significant step up for not much more though.

Is there is a consensus of what is the best windows laptop/tablet for drawing?

>>7098757
See
>>7097916
>>7097919

If you want windows, your options are a surface pro, surface book, kamvas studio, galaxy book, or wacome mobilestudio. The mobile studio being the most expensive while simultaneously being the most outdated.

If you're okay with android or ios, add iPad air/pro, Samsung tab s_, and xp pen magic drawing pad to that list.

>>7083848
>>7085868
Procreate is ass. I use CSP even with ipad. I have no idea why so many people put up with one reference layer, deletion of anything moved outside the canvas, terrible perspective/symmetry grid, limited layers and layer management, etc. etc.

What's the best software, extensions etc if I just want to make cute anime boys and girls?
I looked on the archive and it's just people arguing about being shills for china, adobe, or japan. I am currently using photoshop cc 2017

>>7098845
it's cheap and simple. A lot of people also just use it for sketching

then don't buy it?
i don't see the problem

After 5 years my Huion Q11K V2 started shitting itself, probably from dropping the pen too many times.
What new tablet should I get? Considering Huion RTP-700.

>>7097946
Every release of Adobe Creative Suite back then had monumental increments over the previous versions, quality of life stuff you all take for granted like multiple artboards etc. PC specs which doubled every cycle also contributed to newer versions being must upgrades lest you lose to a competitor in productivity. I understand you’re all zoomers here so the secret last time was that every individual users bought Student packages for 1/10 or 1/15 the prices of the Studio ones (Adobe never cared as Studio licenses were the cash cow) and only upgraded every two cycles or so. There were very few alternatives of good programs back in the day unlike now.

why did medibang decide to make a ripoff procreate exclusive to the ipad?

>>7100734
a what

It's Huion a decent brand now? After 6 years I want to upgrade to a 24 inch drawing tablet but Wacom is way too fucking expensive on my country, I'm talking like 3x times the price of a Huion.

>>7100984
Huion is good. I've been using a Kamvas 13 for almost 4 years now and outside of replacing the screen protector it's like the day I bought it. Never had an issue with it once and I've never even had to replace the original cable. XP-Pen from what I hear also caught up to Huion and Wacom in quality so you have plenty of choices when it comes to budget friendly screen tablets.

>>7098826
Dead pixels on arrival, apparently lol. Probably won't be most people's experience, but something to note. Trying for a refund now

I don't know where else to ask so I'll ask here, it'll get deleted anyway if I'm breaking some rule.
I've got Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 6 but I don't have a disk drive on my new PC, still wanna install it. I know there's a modern "free" version but I don't wanna deal with that freemium shit, does anyone know where I can find an old update for 6? I remember updating the thing a million times and I know updates are a full installer, I still have my serial and key from when I bought the software but it's like all the installers got scrubbed from the internet.

>>7098643
>>7098654
is it the same as the kamvas 22 plus?

>>7104113
Kamvas 22 has worse color and worse screen texture than the 22 plus

Is there any point to using a glove while using a displayless pen tablet?

>>7099344
Got an RTP-700, werks fine, no pressure control issues, nice matte surface texture. Physical buttons not getting in the way is good but I miss the sloped bevel for my hand to rest on.
>>7100984
Huion became a decent brand the day Jewcom's battery-free pen patent expired.

>>7104928
Only if you tend to rest your hand on the tablet.

Remember the good old times before the chink brands? When the only alternative to Wacom was this piece of shit. It was cheap as fuck but also completely unusable trash with laggy drivers and pen that used AAA battery and cracked from the slightest of impact. Kinda sad Genius just gave up and never made a comeback from making the shittiest tablets imaginable.

Can someone please explain which types of art each popular software is "best" for? Like clip studio paint is good for lineart, Rebelle is REALLY good at imitating traditional water/oils. The sticky has descriptions from 10 years ago and I don't trust anyone on youtube.

>>7080104
Do we have any Linux users here?
How does Clip Studio Paint run through Linux or WINE?
I know Wacom tablets supports a bit of Linux, so maybe the recommended pen tablet in the OP might be good but if there is a better tablet that also has Linux support then what is it?

>>7106146
idk I don't draw I just like talking about tablets

>>7106146
>and I don't trust anyone on youtube.
Why would you trust us instead?

i cant really stand screenless tablets so im planning to get a display tablet. which size is best for a beginner, 16 or 22? is the UI on a 13 too cramped?

my tablet already has a big scratch in the middle (6x4cm) is it still worth getting a screen protector a this point?

>>7106385
>6x4cm

>>7106362
Either is fine. There's nothing about being a beginner that affects how big of a screen you should get.

>>7106362
>>7106641
if you have the space and money for it there's no reason not to go for the 22 inch screen, you'll be thankful for it when you're making more complicated pieces

>>7106644
I feel like the OP should honestly be simplified to just say
>display tablet: kamvas 22 plus
>Pen Tablet: deco 01 v2

They're both easily the best performance per dollar in their categories and are proven to be reliable. If xp pen gets their shit together, the magic drawing pad can probably be added for the mobile drawing category. No need to list out every single possible tablet from the major brands, nor to recommend wacom when they want to charge like 2-3 months rent for a fucking tablet, and support AI.

>>7106150
Highly dependent on what version of WINE you're using. I have some versions work right out of the box and others.. not so much. You'll want to refer to the compatibility chart on their website: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=15102

Xp-pen and Huion both have linux drivers, but you can use this kernel patch to use the linux Wacom drivers instead, which I'd recommend if you were getting a Huion because you can't calibrate the screen with the official drivers just yet:
https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers

>>7106793
The other companies support AI too, idiot.

>>7106826
XP pen immediately cut ties with the company that they hired for the promo and put out a public apology.
Wacom meanwhile was just like
>it was too hard to tell, we didn't know the first result on Google for AI dragon stock photo would be AI!

>>7106845
Don't know the details with xp pen, but huion definitely does. They offer a whole course on AI generation

Reading beyond a single tweet is so hard

Is anyone here familiar with Magma? If so, is there a way to automatically allocate layers to other users upon entering the canvas? Or do I have to create and dole them out by hand each time?

>>7085401
Damn, that's the first drawing tablet model I got way back in Christmas 2009. Never cared for the rough drawing surface so I just taped a thin plastic sheet over the drawing area

What would an upgrade for the Intuos Medium be like? I only bought it because I got it for 80 bucks, but I like the hobby so much I want to give this one to my brother and buy a new one.

It seems like Wacom stuff is considered the best, and is the most supported by different software and different operating systems, but in exchange is somewhat overpriced and VERY overpriced when it comes to their display tablets?

Also, are there any places where you can test display tablets? I only own a pen tablet and I want to see how a display feels since I'm still more used to paper.

>>7108514
Get some Huion or XP-Pen, don't waste money on overpriced Wacom slop.

>>7080104
Hi Anons, I can't draw. I just want to learn it for hobby purposes. I want to see if I actually can draw some stuff that doesn't look utter dogshit someday.
I have an apple ipad pro 2nd gen and the pencil. My only question is can I start with freeform to do basic training like forms, lines and so on?

>>7108514
It's literally all the same now as long as you buy from one of the big 4 (wacom, huion, xp pen, and shoehorning xencelab into that because of their pre existing experience in the industry).
The differences are so minor you'll never give a shit about them with real world use. Anyone that argues otherwise is just a faggot trying to sell you something

>>7106793
I support AI too and I hope it causes you to lose your job and starve on the street

>>7108643
Drawing is just my hobby. I'm a wood worker. Machines that theoretically can do my job already exist, but as with most craft professions, people pay a lot extra for actual hand made work.

My Huion batteryless pen randomly started having a problem where pushing either of the pen buttons freezes the cursor.
Anyone had a similar problem? No it's not Windows Ink etc.

I've had this tablet (H610pro) less than a year, while my Wacom is like four years old and still works fine. Maybe cheap chinese tablets aren't so great after all

>>7108588
>>7108640
The only reason I bought it was because it was over 60% off and I heard their products were good but overpriced, normally it would have been 200 dollars. What are the equivalents from the other brands?

>>7109866
>What are the equivalents from the other brands?
It's all listed in the OP. Just go to each brands website, they're pretty easy to navigate.

>>7109651
I had my intuos 3 (the guzzler's god) for like 4 months back when they first came out before it started shitting the bed. Pressure would sporadically stop working and the eraser would either just do nothing, or act as my normal brush tip instead.
It's all the same shit. It's all made in China and has been for decades.

Just got a Tab S9 FE, what should be the first things to do to it, besides uninstalling samsung crap?

>>7110763
Wrong, chink shill

>>7110868
pyw

desu recently got my first ever wacom (cintiq pro 24) and the difference in the drawing experience really does matter. Particularly the way the pen feels against the screen. It's hard to explain. Not too rough, but also not extremely slippery like ice or anything.

>>7113174
What did you have befores?

>>7110868
Do you really need me to post the made in China sticker on the intuos 3? Or the tweet confirming their products are made in China?

Anon that got the huion slate 10 here
It's pretty shit. Wouldn't recommend. It's laggy and the pen has a lot of play in the nib, and it has the ttpical glass screen zero friction problem. Stick with their higher end stuff.

>>7113789
huion kamvas pro 19

>>7088629
If you think that draw at phone is Hard, use a digital table to draw on phone easily.

I have come to shill tablet accessories. This thing is the bees knees . The dial has 4 settings you change with the button in the center of it and if you click the unlabelled square on the end you can switch between 4 profiles of 8 different buttons. It comes with decent software too and you can make the profiles change for applications. 89 bucks but it comes with a bluetooth connector too.

>>7098826
About to do the same from a huion gt-221. I fucking hate that piece of shit but it's served me well (the left touch strip is kill). The pro 24 is on deal and works out cheaper than the pro 19 but has pen tech 3.0 instead of 4.0 so not sure if I should go for that instead or stick with the pro 19.

>>7116935
You'll notice the decrease in size. I also changed from a 21.5" tablet. Remember the pro 19 is actually 18.4". I'd probably go for the pro 24, although I've never tried it so take that as you will. The pro 19 is the only huion I've ever tried, so idk how much worse the pen tech in the earlier generations are.

>>7116954
Could always save my cash and go with a kamvas 22 plus, I've heard the parallax is fuckall and the colours better than the 24 Pro from some >reddit thread. Huion are really breaking my balls here.

How are the asus art moniters? I was looking to upgrade to have a nicer screen to use with my intuos

>>7105118
Holy shit, Genius was actually my first tablet. Blast from the past. Was certainly a piece of shit to draw on, but got me in to digital art and pushed me to buying a Wacom Intous 5. Night and day difference.

>>7088629
Big fan of your Saradas

>>7105118
It's still like that. I consider wacom is its own "alternative" brand because they're built tougher than woodpecker lips and it warrants a decent resale price. You can get an old medium wacom for like $100 on ebay and it will most assuredly work better than a modern day alternative brand. Everything on my intuos 4 and 3 still function flawlessly (I only know about 3 because I gave it too a friend and it still serves him well to this day).

>>7106385
Always. It saves you on nip replacements too.

>>7118304

Asus monitors are fine. Most companies all use panels from the same company

goof apps for pixel art on mobile?

Good cheap printer scanners?

>>7120916
define good, define cheap. What medium, and what size?

Hey i dont know if this should be asked here, but how do i add this effect over an image on photoshop. That like darker side on the top half of the image. I want to do something similar to another image. I'm not even sure what that is called.

>>7122019
it's just a gradient with opacity

>>7121991
I want to try scanning pencil sketches for coloring and to copy said sketches for variations/further drawing. I would like to occasionally print out colored works on (up to) A4 paper, maybe even try to make a zine.
Cheap - at least when it comes to ink, albeit I did notice the basic ink tank printers are just cheap printers with ciss system (and possibly with some bullshit to make stuff expensive again), so I might be willing to pay a bit more for better print quality.

tl:dr an all-rounder where potential zines/comics turn out decent for reasonable ink price.

>>7122025
Thanks! Appreciate you!

>>7122034
consumer grade printers are all pretty shit desu, especially if you need a printer/scanner combined and need it on a budget. Look into an epson ecotank, whatever model you can afford either new or 2nd hand if it's in good shape. your best bet for quality prints will always be to get it done professionally at a print shop though.

>>7122048
>ecotank
Oh. I see
I have to admit I did order a printer already because I was getting impatient (wanted to get it before weekend), but I possibly made a mistake (I bought HP Photosmart 5520 due to cheap cartridges and because my family used to have a similar model). I feel like an idiot.
I did hear that HP's ink tank printers have cheap replacement parts, tho.
Anyway, I'm prolly still an idiot, the ecotank isn't that much expensive considering the savings on ink(if I were to mass print stuff, of course).

>your best bet for quality prints will always be to get it done professionally at a print shop though.
It might sound autistic, but I'm not quite keen of anyone learning of my identity.

You mentioned combined machines being especially bad. How would it work if I were to buy separate printer and scanner?

>>7122071
the printer you got will probably be fine. I just know the ecotank is a popular line that has good quality.
>You mentioned combined machines being especially bad. How would it work if I were to buy separate printer and scanner?
A machine trying to do everything generally won't be as good as a machine purpose built to do just one thing. I'm not sure what you mean by how it would work.
They sell printers that only print and have no scanning capability like the canon pro 300, and scanners that only scan with no printer attached, like the epson v600. neither of which are budget friendly, but they are specifically good for art printing/scanning.

>>7122828
>the printer you got will probably be fine
I just felt buyer's remorse as I could just double for ecotank, but dunno if I will end up doing that much work with it, so worst case scenario I will offload the Photosmart on some relative.
>I'm not sure what you mean by how it would work.
I just naively thought that maybe I could get better quality on same budget if I were to buy separate machines.

Thanks!

>>7122852
Alright, installed the Photosmart. Took me a few attempts to figure out how to double print - it seems I might need a dedicated program to easily set up pictures for mass printing. Probably there is a freeware thing.
Didn't try the highest quality setting(ran out of paper), but the standard seems okay(but with visibly higher saturation than on computer), besides the occasional pinkish hue on the print, quite worrying.
Scanner scans as scanner should, I think.

Our older printer apparently managed to print even despite longer breaks, so I'm quite optimistic.

>>7123031
>>7122852
I think you're overthinking this.
also from my experience, your print settings matter more than the printer itself, though obviously some printers will do a better job than others.
Using the built in print software with windows or paint for example will have shit results compared to fine tuning your print settings with acrobat.

>>7123798
>I think you're overthinking this.
Yeah, but I simply don't want to end up with complete crap. I sometimes do things on impulse...
>Acrobat
Isn't that a PDF program? Is it used to set up printings as well?

Posting the pic here too because I didn't see there were 2 generals with the same topic, and the info could be useful for someone.
>>7123822

Ooh ive never seen this thread before. Perfect place to ask.

Pic related is my current portable drawing setup and I want to improve the ergonomics.

Screen based digitizers suck, so any suggestions on how to set up this so I can do button inputs with my left hand, draw on the digtizer with my right, and hopefully prop the tablet up on an easle or some other portable art canvas stand thing.
Thoughts? Any better windows devices to use on the cheap? Even with this CPU sai performs fine so more power would really just use more batter faster, but im assuming a modern device could sovle that.

>inb4 surface
only an idiot nigger bitch would use an Active stylus.

>>7080443
>>7080343
I make art like that anon, and I also wonder why ngigas like it, the appeal seems to be readability. It is the digital equivalent of pen and ink's readability where the severely limited output of the tool forces an organizational strategy to the whole piece that increases readability. It also makes working easier, so think of it a bit like Gouache, the shitty parts are the point.

>>7123829
I'm mistaken, I always thought it was acrobat, but it was epson's print software and acrobat just opened it by default when I went to the advanced print settings tab.
Either way my point was use nice printing software instead of the built in shit that comes with windows. You can get decent prints even with a shitty printer usually by just fine tuning your print settings.

>>7123845
looks like a cumbersome pain in the ass to me. I would just use a samsung tab, ipad, or xp pen magic pad before fucking around with that setup, but I hate pen tablets.
As far as good windows devices, there isn't a good cheap option yet. The only good one really is the kamvas studio 16, and that'll run you $1600.
You should try a surface 8/9 with the slim pen in a store and see if you still hate it though, they've definitely gotten better over time.

>>7123880
>fine tuning your print settings.
From what I have seen, those settings are nothing special, I couldn't even rotate separate pictures in that, so I have to rotate and save pics first.

>>7123889
>looks like a cumbersome pain in the ass to me
Yeah that's also how things like wearing clothes and bathing look to hut dwelling mongoloids. You're an idiot and you need to stop posting this idiocy so goddamn publicly. Can you not fucking read or do you just imagine what other niggas are after when you reply? Or maybe its just there's no thought at all and the contents of your posts are literally just to waste your own time withought even reading what you clicked reply on? Who's to say but one things for sure, can't be a brain behind the posts.

Kindly go to the garage and take two shots of antifreeze. If you do not own a garage that is no surprise.

>I didn't see there were 2 generals with the same topic
this is the thread for actual discussion, the other is a containment thread for one deranged retard. the guy that posted the other one will respond to himself repeatedly or delete bump posts any time this one gets a post because he wants his to be above it in the catalog.
it's sad as fuck.
He's literally spent hours in the middle of the night before bumping every thread with shitposts to get this thread to archive so he could post his own. I think that was the point when jannies just gave up dealing with his weaponized autism and let him have his containment thread.

>>7123915
you need 87 different devices and accessories for your "portable" set up, and you actually think you're somehow the intelligent one here?
you're asking how to improve the ergonomics so even you acknowledge your set up is cumbersome. but go off I guess.

>>7123932
Assuming you are genuinely confused as to why your answer was both stupid and possibly the result of brain damage, in the question about setups that avoid Active Styli and Screen based Digitizers, all of your suggestions were to use those technologies. The purpose of having cumbersome bullshit is to avoid the technolo-goy that is only useful to people who do not actually draw. So you either purposefully gave the only answer that was not viable, or it was intentional. Either explanation could be best treated with a swift and chemical based suicide.

>>7123940
you're avoiding tech that's specifically made to improve the thing you're trying to improve on.
maybe digital art isn't for you? a sketchbook and pencil is pretty portable, although I'm sure you'd find a way to overcomplicate that too with 8 different pencils, a dozen different styles of erases, and 4 different easels for different terrain.

>>7123957
I do not think they are not improvements but if you think they are I doubt I am capable of changing your mind.

>>7123960
I draw on my portable screen and it accurately makes marks the way I want it to. It's really not that complicated. only no-draws care about the stupid shit you're up your own ass about instead of actually drawing.

>>7123962
I'm sorry you feel that way, though I'm glad these issues do not affect you. It did just occur to me that I can just do this.

>screen based digitizers suck
care to explain why you think so or is it just cause the voices in your head say so?

well, theyre fine. I just think the Electromagnetic ones feel much better. I own an ipad pro, Xp pen, some old wacoms, and used to use a galaxy note 20, and I still use my intuos 3 whenever I can, old habits die hard I suppose and I just wanna use my favorite tablet and software on location. this idea is looking tempting though, i could even have mount points for spare battery or whatever.

To anyone who feels the same way about ther tablet tech, Lamy has a poorly sorted list of devices that use that tech, thought im not super familiar with how trustworthy the brandes listed are, I know a few of em suck for sure. https://www.lamy.com/en/emr/

>>7123915
>>7123940
This has to be bait, right? Just buy a sketchbook instead of wasting $1500+ on some retarded multi-tablet setup

>>7124297
The setup itself is actually only about $200, which is less than I spent on other setups, this tools have become my preference over time and I want to extend the range of usefullness I can get out of them.

I have the trifecta of chinksessories now. Chink cover (which doesnt have glue so it falls off if you hold it upside down and doesnt seem to like touch controls) steel nib and one cent glove.

>>7124328
wash the fucking glove bro holy shit

>>7124330
I shit you not i have used it exactly once so far

>>7124339
wash your room then damn

>>7123845
If you want true portability as in "I do not have access to a flat surface" your best option is a lapdesk + a stand for the 2-in-1. If you do have access to a flat surface, just get a stand.

But what I'd really recommend is getting an actual, proper laptop. There's no point in using a 2-in-1 if you're going to gimp yourself with all that extra bulk. Even a cheap used laptop will be better than what you're currently doing simply because it'll have a fixed hinge. I know from personal experience that SAI will run perfectly fine on toasters so specs shouldn't be an issue.

Or just swallow your pride and get a screen digitizer. You might be able to find an EMR laptop on ebay for cheap.

>>7124328
why a steel nib? it's gonna scratch the fuck outta the plastic surface no?

>>7124370
Thats what the aftermarket screen is for
Also the plastic nibs melt away after light use

>>7124361
>Or just swallow your pride and get a screen digitizer.
I own several, they all suck. I only realized this recently pulling out the old intuos 3 for some fun and realized I never want to draw digitally any other way.

>>7080443
for me at least its partly nostalgia but the lack of anti aliasing also makes the imperfections in an artist's linework a lot easier to see so it makes the art feel a lot more human; the super smooth anti aliased brushes just don't convey as much about the artist's intent/style imo

>>7124627
that's not even nostalgia that's just straight up delusional

>>7124748
that's not even delusional that's just straight up appreciating the artist's technique and form

Can somebody redpill me about XP Pen Deco 01v2, how does it compare to budget wacoms

>>7127511
budget wacoms are a complete scam. dollar for dollar, chinkshit will literally always beat wacom. it's not until you get into their premium offerings do they become worth it*.

*only if you need the absolute best money can buy and don't care about spending 3x the amount for a .1% improvement

>>7127597
Are you sure Wacom ones are not better? When I read about chink shit, people bring up input lag or some other stuff that doesn't sound very attractive.

>>7127844
>Are you sure Wacom ones are not better?
Yes, absolutely positive.
Budget wacom stuff is not good at all. It's on par with or in a lot of cases even worse than budget chinkshit, just at an inflated price point because of the brand name.
For example, $50 will get you either:
>wacom one small
2048 levels of pressure sensitivity with a 3.7x6 drawing area
or
>deco 01 v2
8192 levels of pressure sensitivity with a 10x6.25" drawing area.

It doesn't get better when you look at display tablets, either. The $400 kamvas 22 plus is better in literally every way than wacom's $1300 cintiq 22.

>>7127879
Wacom CTL 672 medium is in the price range of that Xp Pen, so you can get more than small

>>7127883
Where are you looking exactly? And that doesn't really change anything, it's still outdated and low quality compared to what you can get from other brands.

>>7127887
I never tried anything other than Wacom tablets so I can't speak on the quality of its competitors, but Wacom has worked great for me in terms of not having to deal with any technical issues. It just works.

As for other tablets, I look at the reviews and some of them mention fatal flaws that warrant a replacement, something Wacom doesn't suffer from. Is Wacom overpriced? For sure. But can I rely on other tablet as much? Doesn't seem so. I'm one click away from buying XP Pen Deco but I have a gut feeling it's gonna be fucking shit.

>>7127891
Buy it from Amazon, if it sucks, return it and buy a wacom instead.
It's really not big of a decision.
For what it's worth, my intuos 3 and 4 both constantly had driver issues.

>>7127895
Alright, one last question though, is XP Pen better because of being bigger and having better sensitivity? Are those the only things it excels at in this price range?

>is XP Pen better because of being bigger and having better sensitivity
Pressure levels don't mean that much, biggest thing is drawing area, accuracy, and drawing surface feel.

personally i don't trust anyone when it comes to tablets because people use the display ones with a noticeable lag and they don't think it's bad

like how do you get to know if it's good without trying yourself, people will tell you it's good when it's actually trash because they're braindead

>>7127908
People use them because they're actually drawing instead of jacking off to meaningless shit no one cares about. Literally any tablet made by any of the brands in OP will be fine and let you produce work. Buy any of them, it literally doesn't matter at all which you choose. The differences are incredibly minute.
People 20 years ago were making masterpieces with technology from back then. Display tablets were overheating low resolution high parallax shit color pieces of garbage, and yet, People found a way to make incredible art with them.
Everything we have now blows all of that shit out of the water. Basically,

>What are you doing? Go draw

>watch someone drawing on stream/video
>they just immediately start drawing lines
>thy don't cycle through dozens of brushes to find one that feels good
>they don't go through different sizes
>they don't tweak the pressure sensitivity
>they don't alter the pressure curve
>they don't change the opacity settings and test it for an hour
>they don't establish the size of the drawing or zoom out
>they just start putting lines down like its pencil and paper
how? how do they just draw on digital? I have to try every size, every thickness, every pressure curve, just to make lines that dont look crunchy and jagged. but I'm just fine on pencil.

>>7127985
You have to do that every time with software you're familiar with? I don't understand

>>7127985
>find brush you like
>use it
magic

>>7127985
Just draw

>>7129207
No one here draws.

>>7129260
Well yeah that's why I'm here

To draw or to not draw?

What's the largest quality pen tablet I can get for a 27" monitor? My Intuos medium is too small to use my shoulder but I don't want to upgrade to a large if it's still going to be too small for me. The XP Deco v2 has a large that's bigger than the Intuos large, but of course it looks like there's line wobble that the Wacom won't have. Suggestions?

I miss the time when CSP is budget friendly

>>7129605
how destitute do you have to be to not even have 20 bucks a YEAR

I bought the XP Pen Deco, how do I set the lower tablet pen button to zooming like it was set in Wacom pens?

>>7129565
>it looks like there's line wobble that the Wacom won't have.
where do you guys get this shit from?

>>7129823
If it's not possible in their software, set it to whatever key and set that key to zoom in your preferred drawing program.

What tablet should I get?

Beginner here, wondering where to begin to become a "good" digital artist. Right now I'm doing studies of others art and master studies.
Pic related is one of my arts.
Currently using a PD-1560 and XP Pen Deco 01 with Photoshop

Bros..I realized was using my fucking SSD as my Photoshop scratch disk and it was using like 50GB each time

>>7131418
Nit really sure what you're asking desu. Just get used to your drawing software and keep practicing. You need to narrow down your question to get more specific advice

>>7080104
Fuck, i don't know where to pirate Clip Studio Paint anymore. My go-to site for downloading the cracked updates already died and I'm 2 years behind on the updates and I can't trust the other sites because they're in russian or some noodle language i can't recognize.
I don't wanna buy the licenses because it's too expensive for a thirdie like me.

>>7131489
There haven't been any updates of note in 2.0 or 3.0. Just keep using the pirated version you have already

>>7131451
What the fuck is a scratch disk?

>>7131883
It means he should've bought 128GBs of ram

Any recommendations for a 1440p drawing monitor tablet around 500USD?

>>7132286

>>7132302
no way official balls crossover

For the love of fuck I can't get my XP pen drawing monitor to only display the same shit as my main monitor. I literally had it working not too long ago, but some fucking update or something fucked it up. I can get it to work just fine when connecting to my laptop, but I want to use my PC.
The settings don't do shit and the XP pen display always functions as a separate monitor and it's becoming a real pain in the ass.
No matter how much I try to reword my Google search, all the results are people who WANT to use this feature, and nobody trying to disable it.
>everything I click on this options menu keeps the tablet displaying this second monitor
>click the dropdown to select different monitors
>set full screen
>customize screen area
No combination of any of these settings changes literally anything.
Also as an aside, my computer keeps fucking changing where it saves my screenshots and now it's saving them to some retarded "gamer" folder or something. God in fucking heaven fuck Windows and their dumb fucking updates.

>>7132890
That's not handled by your tablet software. Change it in the OS. If you have Windows go to display settings -> change 'extend these displays' to 'duplicate'

>>7131489
Speaking of, got any links even for your older version?
