This is one of the better graphic tablet comparison videos with actual demonstration!
(*edit: deleted the Wacom brand name in the sentence*)
+ZeriouS Thanks 😀
Why are you saying Wacom?
He's not even showing all Wacom, like damn, are you kids hoping for a monopoly? Competition makes competitive prices
@@virgobro2025 your making no sense but k
@@virgobro2025 Well you are kinda right, I updated the comment then :D You know, for me Wacom is like Tempo for handkerchiefs or so where brand names get associated with product groups.
@@donZeriouS yeah it's called genericization same thing with _Hoover_ and vacuum cleaners, not sure if Wacom is at that point yet tho
oh my goodness, thank you so so much for such a review, been searching high and low to elaborate the difference of a tablet that's just a few inches difference for double the price point difference. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
Thank you so much for this video!!! NO other video is as clear, direct and includes a side by side comparison!
Glad I found your video! No one really addresses this issue, and I couldn't find a proper explanation of what tablet to chose. Thank you very much!
I think medium is always best unless you need to go smaller for portability reasons. If your hand is getting tired or you switch between a laptop and desktop a lot with most tablets you can usually shrink the tablet area in the settings.. You can rarely enlarge it. I'm not sure about other brands, but as far as Wacom goes only the Intuos Pros have that setting (Precision Mode) and it's kind of hidden.
Your hand gets more tired with a smaller tablet you have to use smaller muscles with them.
hello alan, can you tell me if 6 x 4 is good for a beginner? i have a 13 inch laptop screen and budget is quite small too
@@jotarokujo806 Seems a tad bit small to me (though can depend on how you draw too). If you're on a budget, I recommend getting a Huion if you haven't considered it already. My wacom broke and I've replaced it with a Q11K V2 that was less than half the price of the equivalent-ish wacom (has tilt + wireless) and more than good enough and there are cheaper wired models (HS611 looks real nice) that are about the same size. Only had a minor issue that I have not seen mentioned in reviews but have found online: pen pressure requires double the pressure when a pen button is held (so no holding to erase unless u want to be pressing super hard). Only other difference is the pen doesn't have an eraser end, but I never used mine. And I'm not too fond of the pressure adjust graph in the drivers, the ends are not movable (idk if wacom's were), but the programs I use do have their own properly adjustable graphs so it's not been a problem.
Thank you so much!!! I was so confused about picking which size I should get for my 14 inch laptop. But this is the answer I was looking for! Great vid
BEST review for figuring out what size to get! THANK YOU
So I guess the best option for a 15,6" screen would be a medium tablet, although the small one would still be good while not costing as much. Thanks!
Explained very well with important points made. Thanks a lot !!
Worthy subscription! Never disappointed.
All the very best for the channel buddy! ✌
thank you very much... this helped me alot :)
Mostly used large graphic tablets but found they're quite fatiguing and am now switching to a medium sized one. It's encouraging to know you swear by them 😂 Would have both options to check which is more suitable for my needs, thank you!
Hi! I wanted to thank you for making such useful reviews ^^ Because I'm thinking of buying a Wacom Intuos and this helped me a lot to know more about which size is best. Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Thank you so much. This helps me to choose the small one for photo editing on Mac Book Pro 15 inches.
Excellent review, thank you!
Thank you for this video, couldn’t decide between the small or medium. This video is the end of it, I'm going with small.
Thank you for this review!!
I was hesitating between buying a small tablet, or saving more money to buy a medium one, and this review helped me make my mind
my screen is only 17"3 inch so I think that a small tablet is enough
thank you. This explanation was much more to the point
Just what i needed :).... Big shout out all the way from South Africa
Thanks for the video. Hope you keep it up.
I think as u said medum size is good for the reason u mentioned. Helpful tutorial. Thanks.
Thnx 4 all the info.gr8 work.thanks again
Great video! Thanks for that.
+Charalampos Koundourakis Thanks 😊
thanks for your video! so helpful!
The video I needed, thanks!
Great video! That was very helpful!
+Meg Williams Thank you 😁
Great Video ! this is very helpful. A small one should do fine. General rule is "bigger monitor, get bigger tablet." I used a small one ( XP-Pen Star G430 4 x 3 inches ) for about five years until the cable broke. Worked fine.
I was using it on a 15” laptop screen at the most, though. You might want to save th extra $60 for a medium with a screen that big.
oh! I never thought of that! my macbook is an old 13' inch, wouldn't make sense to buy a big ass tablet. plus it would be a pain to pack for travels. thanks bud!
Thank you for this! Very helpful :-)
its often that i feel like people who do these reviews talk about standard stuff while having premium gear with themselves whivh doesnt feel natural at all
this time tho
i was very comfortable with what you said and agree on it too
thanks man for the help
I remember seeing this video when I was trying to decide which tablet to get. I don't like it when my desk is cluttered so I went with a small intuos art for my 24" screen against this advice. It's fine for photo editing but it almost made me give up on digital painting. I'll be getting a bigger one soon, the small one is driving me crazy.
Ramo did you get the bigger tablet after 2 years XD
thanks this was helpful!!!
great review, now i have made my decision.. thanks
Thanks, this is a very datailed review for choosing the right tablet for Screen Monitor, My monitor is 20" curved and i'm thinking of buying a cheap small tablet since i'm low on budget but maybe i will just going to save more to buy a medium sized tablet
This video helped alot. Thanks
THis video is so helpful thankyou so much~
Thanks, very helpful 😁
thanks for this!
Video was helpful as my computer screen is 18.5 inches and was curious which size would be appropriate.
I give you one like.
+Joey Brazda Thanks 😊
Very helpful! thanks
+hoodz246 Thanks 😁
FANTASTIC!!
Thanks a ton man !
Great help. Thanks very much
Welcome :-)
My laptop is 12 inch, i bought the 6x4, and im thankfull for buying the small one!
I have a dual monitor setup , and i have my tablet do Rotoscoping , 3dsculpt, Motion Graph, basically I use it as a replacement of my mouse , so for those who have a dual monitor setup, i think go for large size because of the larger working area and u could do detailing without needing to zoom so much into ur image every time , its much more efficient than a medium size tablet, but if u have one monitor i agree to what he says , medium size tablet is better
This is nice n all but personally I'd always get the Medium one (preferably one with Touch). Having handled every size, the Small is too tiny for drawing detail even if you zoom in constantly (which you'll pretty much have to if you go for S, so definitely consider Touch for pinch zoom (not included in the newest base Intuos model, but the older Pen & Touch and the new Pro have it) because zooming with side buttons or icon clicks will slow you considerably). And the Large is almost always more than you need: you might find yourself reducing the Active Area (the part mapped to the screen that the pen works on) for comfort and use it basically as an M tablet since you'll zooming in anyway to see detail. THAT's where the aforementioned zooming actually replaces the need for a big tablet. While it does force you to make finer strokes and more detail, which is nice, I find it difficult to justify L unless you also buy a HUGE monitor with it and have a specific type of artist brain that needs to see and compare/judge the entire drawing at all times.
For everyone else the M is the perfect balance of usefulness and portability regardless of screen size. It won't take up THAT much room on your desk that it becomes uncomfortable, you can pick it up and adjust/ROTATE it which allows for more techniques (definitely find models with the smallest size/weight : active area ratio tho if that's your goal, not every model is good at this). And most importantly you'll be able to crate just the right amount of detail for what you see on the screen, whether you're sketching the base with broad strokes or zooming in to see specific parts of the picture to add more fine detail.
I'd note that the iPads (9.4, 9.7 and 10.5 models) also have touchscreen sizes comparable to the M model. (Might even consider buying them instead if you don't mind IOS' lack of Win apps and awful file management holding you back).
Hello, I have a 32 inch monitor, so is M (8"x5") enough for drawing?
Thanks, this really helped 🙏
haha, thanks I guess i'm getting the small since I'm using a net book with a screen about ten inches.
Thanks for making this video. I'm not as confused as before after watching this. I think I should get a small one as my laptop is just 13 inch.
+Kimberly Chung Thanks 😀
Have been using small and medium. Would like to try large. Thanks for the recommendation.
Anything 10 x 6 inch is good
thanks you for great tip
I didn't watch the whole video, but what you said makes sense. I have a 23" monitor that I will be using for my drawing so I'll go with a medium. The proportional drawing will be much more sensible.
thanks
Was about to go for the cheapest (and smallest) option, but now I'm considering the next bigger size. Didn't know it had that much of a difference when going for a certain size.
I'm planning on buying one for taking notes! Analog is good, but it's getting increasing difficult to manage and organize all of the paper.
thanks a lot man
Thanks Man!
This is nice thanks men
I want to get a tablet on the smaller side but couldn't decide betwren 7 and 10in. I have high regard for your reviews. Hope this solves my question!
I'm amused you still recommend Medium (10 x 6 inch) up to this day in the comments section 😂 I appreciate the consistency haha.
The still size pairs well with displays up to 27 inches
thank you so much! I have a medium tablet and a 13” macbook, but it’s to small for me (´･_･`) now I have an opportunity to get a big monitor, but i wasn’t sure if i could use it for drawing with my tablet. your video helped me a lot
very helpful ty
My drawing tablet ending up being way bigger than my laptop so now I literally have to move the pen so far to get to the right place on the screen lol. My laptop is 13.3 inches and my drawing tablet is like 15.6 or just really big
this was helpful :)
Thank you for the helpful videos! I have a question as I am in doubt. I have a 13" mac, but cannot decide what is better- the small or the medium size tablet. As suggested per your video, I should get a small one, but I am afraid it would be limiting as I work on the programs quite often. Is there a disadvantage of getting the Medium one if my laptop screen is so small? Also- which software bundle would you recommend for a graphic design student? (i'm mostly illustrating)
+Renāte Vērmane If you have the budget, Medium is a more comfortable size to work with. As for which Intuos, I recommend Intuos Art for the Corel Painter Essentials. You can also download the free Medibang Paint Pro.
Yes very helpful. I was about to order a medium, and my monitor is smaller than 19"
i got an xp-pen star05 its medium, and includes wifi. You can adjust the workable area in the settings to stay within in the margins on the tablet or to use the tablet's entire surface. And my laptop monitor is 14"diag.
I think I will go with medium for my macbook pro m1 2021
Thankyou for the wonderful video!
I was wondering if the small tablet is comfortable enough to draw on or does it feel cramped?
It will feel a bit cramp. Will take a while to get used to it.
Hello buddy, thanks a lot for your video - it answered some of my concerns regarding tablet size before buying.
I would really appreciate your suggestion very much as i am one step away from buying tablet, but i have a big headache to determine which size would fit me the best - Wacom Intuous Pro Medium or Wacom Intuous Pro Large. I never had a tablet before and it makes even harder to determine the size of the tablet that i need. My main monitor is Phillips 43 inch (4k).
I am going to use tablet for some retouching, Photoshop and maybe Premiere work too if i will find it handy to work with Premiere. At the moment i feel that i will need to use it in conjunction with keyboard (will still need to access shortcuts). I have enough space on the table but still concerned if it would be convenient to use Large tablet in conjunction with the rest of the PC equipment - to access keyboard, tablet, mouse, without rearranging whats on the table each time.
Overall i think that Medium size would be the most suitable for me to use it on the table beside keyboard and mouse, because im a bit worried about Large model's dimmensions (too big to be placed and accessed on table conveniently) but i also worried that my monitor is very large and Medium may be too small for it. Or it would be still ok to use Wacom Intuous Pro Medium tablet on 43 inch montitor?
Thank you very much in advance for your advice :)
+Peter Longwood A medium tablet should be alright.
Thanks for the informative video. Do you recommend the brand XP-Pen star, or Wacom intuos small ?
XP Pen is more worth the money
bought the small one and it's too small for my 27'' and I've already claimed my software so I don't think I can send it back :(
I have an intuos 3 6x8 inches and a dell 25" and the difference is too big. you do a little mark in the tablet and is like 3 times bigger in the monitor. For some stuff like let's say you are doing some colouring or some value studies etc it doesn't even matter. But if you want to draw characters and make the anatomy good or do more precise things like that, THEN is a nightmare. What i did, and i suggest people to do, is to set the screen area affected by the tablet very small, just a little bigger than the size of the tablet. This way, what you actually do in the tablet is very similar to what you get in the monitor. You need to complement this with a mouse and get used to move the document in photoshop if a corner is not covered by the active area. Also you have to get used to use a lot the mouse to go for the menus since the tablet doesn't reach them. I know a lot of people will never do this because is a hassle but some people will try it and prefer it if having a more 1:1 ratio is important. If you suck at drawing, then whatever you do it won't matter, just learn to draw.
Hello, nice video and explains a lot. i am starting to draw digitally on my 13in macbook Pro, and use the same small Wacom tablet you show in the clip (the smallest one) I use it fine, but now I would like to get a Medium-size tablet as I think it will help me illustrate better and move my hand around more. Do you recommend doing that? thanks.
Medium is a more comfortable size to work with.
Hi Teoh, great videos! I had a question for you. Small should be comfortable for 24" screen right? I really want to avoid getting medium. I would rather get used to large magnification effect than have my hand get tired.
A medium size is more comfortable to draw on. Medium size drawing area is like an A5 size paper. If you have limited budget or table space, then get a Small.
Teoh Yi Chie Hey! I ended up getting the small one and I absolutely love it. I use it for my attached 24" monitor and it's perfect. I am using it primarily to take notes (bit of drawing, too). Honestly I feel the medium would require too much moving of my hand because of the absolute positioning. Small is a perfect area for me.
Great video! It was extremely helpful, btw I have a 15.6" laptop, what size should i go for?
+Pranav Shukla A small should suffice
thank you!!
I have a "13,3" inch laptop, and I am wondering what size to get
My Melody I would get a small since it magnifies as expected
This is the clearest video I've seen thank you Teoh.
Question: I use 24 inch (PC) screen for doing children's book illustration. I am definitely thinking of getting the Wacom Intuit Pro large size. The only issue I have heard is that it requires longer hand sweeps on the tablet. Do you see that as a problem? (I draw quite large anyway.)
Hand sweeps? I'm not sure what's that. Finger gestures? As long as you get a medium or large tablet, it should provide enough comfortable space for you to draw on.
Thanks Teoh. I just mean the distance my hand has to move across the tablet when making lines. I'm inclined to get the big one. Looking in the store tomorrow.
Then I guess a big one might be more suitable for your purposes
Huion 1060 Plus or huion h610 pro ???
Hi, thanks for the video 🌹
I can't choose between huion h950p with 8.7"*5.4" Wich also have title functionality and h640p with 6.3"*3.9" working surface without titl, I have a 14 inch laptop and I'm getting started with digital art, I think the h640 is better for me by size but I don't know if I should prefer it over h950 because h950 also has tilt but I don't know if the size is gonna be a problem for me, I'll be thankful to know your opinion
Get the larger tablet. It's a more comfortable size to work with. The size will be quite similar to your laptop but thinner.
@@teohyc thanks for the answer 🌹
No mention of working with files at magnifications higher than 100% as you would with editing photos and what happens with respect to the tablet.
my question is, i dont have one of those?
meybe iwl buy a medium size. any recomendation for wacom type? (i dont have much money :D)
I own the small intuos art (20*9cm i guess) and it's not comfortable to draw with my 24 inch monitor
Please can you make review on 10moons 6 inch tablet
I want to do cartoon Characters is the Medium one go for that.
thanks a bunch Mr. Teoh! it helped me a lot to understand better which size of tablet i should use. Here comes the question:
should i buy desk tablet or drawing tablet for a more natural feel?
You mean like this Intuos vs those screen tablets? Those screen tablets are more expensive. Drawing performance is going to be the same. But those screen tablets usually require you to buy the stylus as well and so far there aren't really any good screen tablets except for the expensive Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. For beginners, I suggest not to spend too much money. Just get a simple desk tablet should be enough. If you're going to buy a screen tablet anyway, then go ahead. Again, it depends on your budget.
oh i see..... thanks for the advise! 👍 but i happen to find screen tablets to be cheaper than Intuos, it's okay to get that right?
Should be okay. What brand and model is that tablet?
Huion
A Huion screen tablet? I guess it should be alright. I might have a review on my blog at www.parkablogs.com/es/tags/drawing-tablet-reviews
a small would be perfect for 14" screen right
i have a 23 inch screen, i am looking for the comic pad in size medium and i cant find it anywhere
+cina ballard There is no Medium size for Comic. Get the Intuos Art instead.
Hello o/
Great video!
I'm thinking about buying a table but I have a 13inch macbook and a 27inch monitor that is currently hooked to my PC that I can also use with my Macbook when I am home. Which one would you suggest? I'm not sure if I should get a small or a medium.
The size you should get depends on the size of your table. Medium is more comfortable for drawing on larger screens. As for which particular model. The only difference is the bundled software. If you want the drawing software, you can go for Intuos Art.
Huion 1060 Plus \ huion h610 pro which one of these works good with Maya and zbrush?
+venkatesh .c Either is fine.
is that a noppo choc keyboard that I'm seeing there on your table? ^_^ I know slightly off topic. thanks for the advice though.
It's my embarrassingly dirty and old Apple keyboard. I'm now using a Logitech wireless K811 keyboard which is SOOOOOooooo good. lol
Hi! Thanks for your video! I'm interested in digital art, but still a beginner though. My computer is 14" so i was thinking about getting a small tablet, but i know that a lot of people say that medium-sized tablets are usually the best choice, so I'm quite unsure. I'm still a student so I don't have much of a budget. What size would you recommend in this case? And are there any specific drawing tablets for beginners you'd recommend? (I'm torn between getting Wacom Intous S and Huion 1060P)
Get the Huion. It's more worth the money. You get a larger tablet for the same amount of money spent. Drawing performance is comparable too.
@@teohyc Thanks a lot :)
I'm stuck between getting a Huion Q11K or a Intuos Art (Small) as my first tablet. I don't have money for the medium if I go Wacom but I do like their bundle of Corel Painter Essentials and their driver support. Huion has higher specifications and better size for the money but they're drivers aren't really the best to say the least. Both are good tablets but I can only choose one. I have a 23in monitor which would be a better choice of the two???
+Manuel Morillo For larger monitors, it is better to get larger tablets. It feels more natural to draw on a larger surface. Drivers are fine usually. Another free software you can try is Medibang Paint Pro.
Hello man! Great vid. So if I may summarize the video, you must get the right size of tablet according to your computer screen? So if the screen is small, you must buy a small tablet and vice versa?
+Kemal Hurlov Something like that. If the size mismatch is too much, it's going to feel weird when drawing on the tablet. It's like you draw a short line on the tablet but on the screen it shows a long line instead
Teoh Yi Chie thank you so much. i have regular sized laptop so i guess i will go for the small
What size do you recommend for a 15,6" screen?
A small should suffice. If you have more budget, 10 x 6 inches is more comfortable.
thank you
Cosmus thanks for asking this question! I have a 15.6 inch screen and have been wondering myself
Trash_ _chan no problem
I'm thinking of buying my first graphics tablet soon!Wacom Intuos Art (small) to be precise.
Since I got a 19.5" LED monitor,will the tablet size be adequate?As in, I won't need to buy the medium one, right?
Small should be enough if you don't have the budget.
Thanks for the video Teoh, very useful. I have two question do, and I would appreciate your help. I want to buy one for my boyfriend who is a graphic designer who mainly draw logos and retouches photos. He has a 27" screen but if him is not going to draw per se, the smaller version could do the trick? Also, which sould I get, art, photo or draw? The pro is out of my budget. Thank you in advance!!
I suggest getting the medium size tablet. As for which model to get. Maybe Wacom Intuos Art which comes with the Corel Painter Essentials software. The main difference between all the models are the bundled software.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks so much!
Thank you for the video. I have a 15.6'' laptop, would you recommend a small or medium Intous pro tablet?
+Michelle Lincow A small should suffice. A medium if you want a more comfortable size to draw on.
also I have a 1920 x 1080 resolution iMac.
What
Hello Theo great vid, i have a 18 inch screen and im planning to get the xp pen deco 01 its 10 x 6 is it too big?
if its too big what u think about the size of xp pen g640 its 6 x 4
i heard that size does matter with tablet
10*6 is good size for more displays
I am Using 27 inch monitor . What size i should use, Kindly Suggest
10 x 6 inch is good
I'm starting to learn digital ilustration, Which on do you think I should get? The intuos art or the Pro?
+choi jia Intuos Art is good enough. Start with something more affordable
Hello!! Apologies, considering this video seems rather old, but I needed a full review with different tablets, and yours seemed to be good to ask!
So, I have a 15.6 laptop, and I've used the Wacom Intuos Art for a few years and would like to upgrade to the Intuos Pro
Should I get the Small or Medium Intuos Pro? Which one would feel comfortable like the Intuos Art?
I have rather small hands so the Intuos Art didn't take me long to get used to at all, so would the Small Intuos Pro be good for me?
If you don’t mind the small, you can continue with that size. I usually just recommend medium 10x6 by default
