The Artisul D16 on Amazon: amzn.to/2CXkdz8
I really like the Artisul D16. The number one thing I look for in a pen display is how smooth the lines are when I'm drawing and in the D16's case they are really smooth. Like Wacom smooth. Check out my review for more details.

I just bought this for 219 USD which was a HUGE bargain! It seems like maybe they updated it too! Since on their site where they sell it, it now says they have 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity.
I don’t mind the lack of tilt recognition or the resolution at all, since I used to draw on a super outdated graphics tablet that has no screen. Anything is better than that! I see this as a mid-level upgrade. And the value is great.
94% Adobe RGB is actually really good for a Wacom alternative. Didn't seen that high on any other cheaper alternatives.
I clicked on this so fast!!! I’ve been dying to see a review of this!
Please compare to newest XP Pen Artist Display 15.6" passive pen 8k pressure support 4k monitor claimed virtually no parallax no lag
That's the Artist 16 Pro, right? There are two 15.6" models: the Artist 16 Pro and the Artist 15.6.
I've got a defective Artist 13, and I'd like to replace it with the 15.6, as it's only $20 more. But Amazon doesn't have it in stock (I'm a Prime member). They also don't have the 16 Pro in stock. :( The 16 Pro definitely catches my attention, but the battery stylus pushes me away.
This looks fantastic! I have the D13 and hadn't heard of anything new coming from Artisul in a while, so I'm glad they're still making products.
Whatttt. No jitter, no diagonal wobble, AND good initial activation pressure?! Keeping this specific tablet in mind, thanks so much for another thorough review, Brad!
Working with the Cintiq 13HD for so long has made me not care about parallax at all since my eyes naturally track where the cursor lands on the canvas anyway (though I get why people are bothered by it). Gonna miss the gorgeous tilt function in Corel Painter's pencils, hoping that by the time my Cintiq dies a natural death, one of these more affordable alternatives will finally have tilt. I can learn to work without it, though.
Not only did you help me choosing this monitor, but you also did it on my birthday. Thanks Brad!
Do you like it? I'm trying to pick my first drawing tablet
please do a comparison between artisul d16 and xp-pen artist 16
Artisul D16 Screen is better than the old Cintiq 13HD. All they need is Pen tilt and it'll be a Wacom killer.
Moe the new huion13 have tilt! been looking pretty tempting, laminated screen means it also has no parallax
@@kixmix2450 basically you can tilt your pen like a brush when drawing in the screen and get real-life brush-like resulting strokes (still depends on the brush engine)
@@dawnpaoloabes8441 some brushes in Photoshop have a soft edge and a hard edge, similiar to what a wet brush with color on the tip would get, but for now its random where which edge is. Would tilt support, given the brush is set so, be able to always put the hard edge to one side depending on pentilt?
I'm from the future. There's a new D16 Pro with tilt.
@@Commenter839 Brad definitely needs to review the new D16 Pro!
im using this model with Firealpaca and it was very great, its just really big for me. The shortcut button react differently for diferent application. Most comfortable using it with Firealpaca so far
I wonder if Wacom will wake up on price and accessories? These companies may start as budget alternatives, but the better tablets may become serious alternatives for even the high end pro users.
One thing I noticed about the minimal parralex ( how do you spell that?) on the newer cintiqs that kinda bothers me... the eraser. It is so thick on the Wacom pen it is hard to see eraser placement on the screen if you use the back of the pen. For now i just use the front tip and switch manually. Seems like an obvious thing that many they may change. Anyhoo..Great vid as usual!
Dag Nabit I think they’ll catch the message sooner or later. Apple had already figured out how to have great pressure sensitivity with their pencil. Along with little to no parallax, and pen tilt. Soon these alternative brands will also close the gap with high quality products at a lower price. Only time will tell though!
well I believe lifetime support and build quality+compatibility still the benefiting factor from wacom. I dtill drawing with my intuos 3 and cintiq 12wx, ( 12 nibs replaced) and still fully functional almost like a new (cosmetic wear only)
@@mazditzo It's been over a year and my budget tablet still works like new. So I guess durability shouldn't be on anyone's list for why they'd buy a Wacom.
@@Commenter839 Many people have Wacoms that last years or a decade. That could be the durability factor that they mean. Either way, I'm pretty sure that these budget brands will close that gap too quickly
This has me pumped... really think this is going to be my step into drawing on-screen tablets. Brad as always thanks for your reviews. I can genuinely say you are one of the most useful reviewers of products. Often times reviews end up being useless because a lot of people somehow manage not to look at or test products for things that humans do with those products and you're left with the same questions. Good job sir!
Thank you for the great review! I wanted to buy the upcoming Artisul D22 but couldn't wait any longer so I got the Huion GT221 Pro and I think it's amazing! Looking at all the tablets you've reviewed this year, I have the feeling that many of them are not just alternatives, they are worthy competitors to the Cintiq...
Just like we've seen many established Japanese electronic brands becoming irrelevant through the past 10 years, Wacom is no exception, yet they are still playing it fancy with their price tags, UC-Logic technology has been around since the late 90's and now it has reached full maturity. For how long are we going to give a shit about EMR Pen Technology? Wake up Wacom!
iyadart is your tablet still good now?
I love all your video's Brad! And I love my Artisul D16! I liked my D10 but it was too small and wasn't even 1920x1080, so I got this. I really like the 16" size, it gives me plenty of room without being too big. I noticed that the pen from my D10 also works on my D16, so I use a soft nib in it and the harder nib in the pen that came with my d16 and have both pens available. Very cool.
Hello how are you liking the parallax on the D16,does this tablet really suffer from the curser being several cm behind the pen tip? Supposedly if you draw a dot less than 2 cm it won't even register?
I'm surprised this one only has 2048 pressure levels. I'd figured most of these Wacom alternative companies use like the same OEM internals. Since Gaomon as a 16" tablet with 8192 pressure levels and not long after Huion came out with a 16" with 8192 levels I expected Artisul, Parblo, XP Pen, Acepen, etc. to start putting out tablets with identical specs in the near future.
Artisul comes directly from the guys that make the digitizer tech all of those tablets are using so tbh idk how they can have better specs, sounds fishy
rage gaomon is independent
Xp-pen has the Artist15.6 not talking about the Artist 16. It has a battery-less pen with 8192 pen pressure.
I don't really know how much stock to put into the 8192 vs 2048 pressure levels thing. It seems like nothing more than a "hey we can do the same thing wacom does" kind of gesture to have 8192 levels. The pressure levels, considering that 2048 has been standard for like the past 5 years or more, are not going to be the deciding factor. Activation force and how consistently the pressure controls overall seems more important to me than just a pressure sensitivity spec. I also wouldn't really be that surprised if a lot of these companies were just accomplishing this 8192 metric by clever software scaling in the driver. I think some things these wacom alternatives could be doing is trying to get tilt functionality, or maybe adding a third button on the pen since wacom released a new pen with 3 buttons that's supposedly more suited towards working in 3DCG software. Making a 3 button pen a standard feature would probably be enticing to people who would otherwise be paying an extra 80 dollars for the pen on top of their expensive wacom purchase.
It's still clever nonetheless because it cost cheaper.
Stunning drawing as always Brad!!!!!!
Looks like another good one. These cintiq alternatives are starting to get good. (looking to get a more mobile one to upgrade from my old Cintiq 21). Brad, are you planning on doing a review of the Huion KAMVAS GT-156HD V2? That one looks awfully good, and the express keys really handy... It does fall behind this Artisul in that it's pen is powered.
For some reason, I really dig the drawing you did for this review. 🤗💖🤗
I was thinking of getting this tablet because of the price but I kept hearing bad reviews about it though some people say they like it.
But would Artisul D16 be a good choice for my first pen display tablet?
Don't forget the XP Pen 15.6 that just came out! (not to be confused with the XP Pen 16)
I'm struggling to decide between this, the XP Pen Artist 16 and the Huion GT156... could you give me a better idea which you'd chose of these three?
I am in the same spot but judging from all the reviews i have seen i will go with this one, hope i made the right choice
Same :/
This one has better color accuracy than XP Artist 16 or 15.6 and HUION GT 156 HD V2. Also this can be powered by usb without using wall socket. But XP Artist 16 pro has just coming out. They claim it has 94% Adobe RGB. So am waiting for the review for that XP Artist 16pro one.
Motti Bembaron Nah mate. But I noticed in lots of reviews, when they comparing and showing the colour from tablet side by side with computer monitor that has right colours. And I noticed Artisul D16 is so close with it compared others I mentioned. There's also other detailed review from Teoh Yi about this product which is very helpful too. I can't guarantee anything about my opinion from what I observed. But I hope this helps you consider well :)
Motti Bembaron I wish the same, mate! Been waiting for that as well!
I own the D13, I'm really looking forward to the D22 when it comes out.
So is it me or Artisul has very limited international shipping options? I cant' seem to find the Artisul D16 with shipping available to Spain anywhere...
I am a Windows 10 user and have had the Artisul D16 since it came out. The screen and color is pretty good. I watched every ones reviews for it and thought that it was great. I only had enough money to buy one tablet around $500. I am a poor art student. I bought the Artisul D16 and I regret it. From the very start it took me 4 days to get the drivers installed. I had to wait 2 days to hear back from the company. I had to search online for help. I found out that you have to manually delete some files that are deep in your computer. How the hell are you suppose to know that you have to do that? The drivers could not do that for you? I complained to the company and they pretty much gave me the finger and said deal with it. They want $50 for the stand (even though it comes with the monitor) It is shit. It wobbles and slides around on my desk. Some times when I turn my computer on the monitor screen will be blacked out. The power button will indicate that it is powered up. I then have to turn it off and turn it back on to get to act normal. Some times the drivers don't even start up. I then have to restart my computer to get the drivers to act right. I am left handed and when I had the tablet in left handed mode, the monitor would then have so much parallax that it was unusable. I calibrated the screen multiple time and it never got better. I later figured out that if I turn the monitor around to what it would be in right handed mode, set it to right handed mode and calibrate the screen with my right hand, the parallax was cut down by a lot. The good thing is that monitor is now usable. The bad thing is that I can't use the built in hot keys. The hotkeys are a complete waste to me now. Fuck Artisul and fuck the Artisul D16....the pen is pretty good.
Hey, just trying to help, @Brad Colbow, on your "Wacom Alternatives list/ranking" page, for the Huion Kamvas 15.6, you have a typo.
You accidentally wrote "scree" instead of "screen".
Just trying to help, keep up the good work.
If possible, can you review the Monoprice 22-inch Pen Display Tablet? They're cheaper than most 22-inch wacom alternatives but I can't find a decent review on it anywhere
It's bad. that's it.
I’ve seen people say it’s a good tablet. I just wanted to see what Brad says since his channel revolves around testing digital art products
Man! I was waiting for this review! Thanks for making this video :)
I found your channel today, and I have to say, excellent series of videos!
I have to say that the new xp-pen 15.6 inch with 8K pressure sensitivity on the pen looks incredible --especially considering the price. I was hoping XP-Pen would have given you one to do a review (your reviews are great) but I think I'm going to have to go out on a limb and buy it anyway.
This looks really good!
I had gotten the Artisul D10 last Christmas and it was a quality product! (for a while)
Long term, on of the cords had broke so i had to order a replacement of that. Then later on down the line this past summer the drivers started acting really weird and the screen suddenly had two places where it would not let me draw vertical lines and where it would have like this skip from one part of the screen to the other (making it really difficult to draw because it was really small) which i think is dead pixels but i'm not really sure.
I would still recommend Artisul for the quality that you are going to get over other companies; i just wish mine didn't have that screen skipping thing.
I still genuinely have no idea which tablet I want.. There are so many and it's just. AH!
LazyLozar did you find? Lol im super confused too
2:26 you said it is 2048 level pressure sensitivity. But on their website said it is 8192 level pressure. Is it the updated version Artisul release this year?
artisul.com/tablet-stylus/artisul-d16/
Thank you!
Hi brad, do adobe illustrator, photoshop, paint tool SAi, medibang, krita and sketchbook pro works well on this pen display?
Why don't you just hold the R key to rotate your canvas??
Hey Brad, great video! So, is this "the One"? I mean, that sweet spot of price/performance/quality/ battery-free Cintiq alternative that we have all been waiting for? I'm a comic book artist, and line quality for me is the deal breaker for most of these alternatives. I was waiting for some review on this baby before I pulled the trigger on the Artist 16, or the Gaomon pd1560. Where does this one rank in your opinion?
For me it is. It's more expensive than some of the other 15.6" ones, but I think it's worth it if you are doing any kind of fine line work.
Can you help me plz? My Artisul D16 Pen is not working after i install the Driver, i tried everything, from changing USB Hub, Restarting my PC, Re-Installing the Driver, nothing is working, Any Ideas?
how does this hold up to date? should i still consider buying this?
Witch do you preffer
The xp-pen 15.6 xp-pen 16
Or artisul d16?
Plz someone help
I looked at the artisul d16 and on theyre website theyre now claiming 8192 levels of sensitivity??? I'm guessing they just now updated the model id look at the Amazon listing but it's down currently and only shows their stand (im also on my phone so)
Would the 13 inch version of this tablet be suitable to use for professional purposes? I know the color gamut is not as good, but is that something that will really make a big difference if you plan on having the art printed?
In my country this would cost around $649, may or may not include stand. It's mostly due to import cost and rarity. Do you think it's still worth it?
great looking tablet but seems to be a bit high for my budget, have you tried the UGEE HK1560 Drawing Tablet and what do you think about it?
I'm always early to your videos
I hope you'll be able to get a review model of the d22 as well as I'm not sure if I'm going to pick up the d16 or wait and save up some more for the larger model
I would love it if you could review the artisul d22 when it comes out.
artisul d22 is coming, probably my next tablet
I wish Artisul surprise us with a QHD display in the D22.
What about the dual screen?
I have a question, I just got the D16, and its my first pen display, but I notice something weird, when the pen is close to the screen I can see the cursor hovering, but something it will recognize as a touch, even If the pen is not touching the screen, I dont know if thats how its supposed to be, or there's something wrong with mine
Im so tempted by this but it isnt available in the UK yet :(
have u found a uk available one?
But the real question: Does it have pressure sensitivity with Krita?
Hello Brad if possible can you do a color calibration test for these drawing tablets with something like the Spyder5?
Huion KAMVAS GT156HD V2 Review?
Awesome. Makes me want to upgrade from the 13in...
Brad in Procreate a person made a pencil with pressure sensitivity
Can you take this on the go or does it actually need a computer to work?
Hey Im sorry so late but im looking for my son an gift. What are the big diff in this and the Pro model? And is it worth the extra cost? Thanks!
Thanks, I just bought it, but I think should be connected to laptop I diid not see any applications for draw or write when diconnect from PC it gives no signal, will it work without PC
Decently getting a 16in but waiting to see a review on the Huion 156jd v2
You say it has around 2k pressure sence but amazon and artisul both show it has 8192.
Thank you Brad !
I bought it 2days ago, costed me 800$, i have no problems so far, what software to use other than photoshop? Is there a pc/laptop software like procreate that i can use?
Im just beginning my search for a drawing tablet and computer to set up on as my computer went up in smoke a few months back. What system requirements do you recomoend for a tablet to run smoothly w either photoshop or illustrator.? And whickbwould you recommend for a beginner in digital but years of art experience.
You really need to do a review on the parblo coast10
hi there. thank you for your good review. i have two questions. dose the pen button tow option or one . i mean can i adjust Rmb and Mmb on the pen button?
and there is toggle display in it ?
thank you in advanse.
Huh... I just got this tablet in the mail right when you uploaded this...
After two weeks, how do you like it? I want to buy it so much but do you think it is worth it? Thanks
I really like tablet. It has been a blast to draw on and its still holding up really well.
Does it still work a few years later?
Artisul D16 or Huion kamvas 156 v2? im really confused! can u give me more information? Is a gift to someone that dont have a digital tablet but want to start in the digital world. She draw a lot in paper. Thanks!!!
alright I decide to buy it. I didn't hesitate after watching this video.
I was considering getting one of these but I wanted to be sure that it would be supported under mojave and future versions of macOS. What bothered me was that apple are removing support for 32bit applications and code, apparently High Sierra will be the last macOS to run 32bit programs in an uncompromized way (whatever that means) so I downloaded the latest drivers for macOS and installed them. I immediately got the 'Not optimised' message so I checked the apps in system report and lo and behold both the control panel and driver are 32bit. I've been caught out by similar obsolete driver problems in the windows world before so I emailed UC logic technical support and asked whether a 64bit mac driver was in the works and explained why. Here's the entire response "We already doing 64bit driver.". Does that mean a driver is in the works or are they referring to the 64bit windows driver, is there a special hidden driver or is this just wrong? So I wrote back, this time with screen shots from system report ..... couple of days still waiting for a response... Either way I'm not buying a tablet that might no supported working driver in 3 to 15 months.
Thanks for the review. In the future could you point out what the power plug situation is? If this thing requires no external power then that's a huge selling point for me.
This one does need external power. The smaller one (the D13) doesn't need it and can run on the USB alone.
Thanks!
Yes
Uhhh i clicked the "My review" thing for the XP pen 15.6 pro on you website and it led me here. I think you need to fix that lol
Been using this for a year now and had a very2 frustrating experience with it. They boast about having the same driver technology as wacom but thats a huge lie. Their driver will fail everytime you restart or even plug in the device. You will either have to restart again and hope that it will somehow works now, or you have to reinstall the driver. I keep the driver on my desktop because i run it more often than i run photoshop. Usually i spent 30 minutes a day trying to fix this shit. The problem was reported on the forum but nothing has been done. Throughout this year, i've missed deadlines, lost projects and reputation because of this shit. Avoid it unless you're a hobbyist and have 30 minutes spare time everyday before starting to draw and hopefully, you'll still have your inspiration.
@Eriko. Oy windows 10
Which is better? 500$ for this or 500$ for cintiq 13hd?
does it work well with zbrush or like 3d programs?
this looks so promising and worth it!
CTL490DB,when you did that one i was wondering if it'll work on a Samsung laptop
I have a problem!!
My cursor not drawing in right place! on photoshop cc but it"s ok on Clip studio paint.
I download driver from artisul website and it not work.
I use windows10 home(1709) and device is Acer switch alpha 12.
How i Fix or setting?...T_T
Thanks for sharing this!
Can you do a review on the HUION KAMVAS GT-156HD V2? Really wanna know your thoughts on it
Great video. And finally, looks like a winner tablet. :)
Can I use this with an arm?
Can you use Krita with it ?
Thanks for the heads up.
Hi, I have a question for you guys and I hope you can help me. I want to get started drawing and I am looking for an app that works on both android and pc so I can transition from drawing on my phone to drawing on my computer. I couldn't find any when I searched it up. If you know any, can you please reply to this comment? Thanks
Should I get this one or Wacom 13HD?
Does it work on the Microsoft Surface Pro ??? It's my main computer so I hope it does now...
It might not. Since pen drivers often conflict you might have to uninstall the drivers for your Surface pen to get one of these to work properly. I havn't tried it with this tablet but I have tried with others and have never gotten them to work properly.
Brad Colbow thank you for the heads up! Ill look into this and if i find a solution that for sure works ill let you know. :)
What preforms better? The d13 or d16?
Huion GT 156 HD V2!
Love it!!
100 more dollars... Is it worth it?
I'm thinkig about getting this one :) thankyou. I just wish you didn't have connect them to computers and just take them with u.
hi... I have read that if you trace a 1mm - 2mm line or a dot the tablet doesnt register it? I'm windows user. is that only happening in windows? or it was a glitch in legacy drivers?
Hi can you please let me know where you read that? I am interested in this tablet so Would be very helpful. Thanks
the true is that I dont remember. I was interested in this one also but purchased a used cintiq 13hd a friend sold to me. I recommend you to search in instagram " #artisuld13 ", and ask to the owners.. those who use this tablet every day. Sometimes reviews are not enough info.
So for xmas im getting the Acer One 10 and the Wacom Bamboo stylus.Does anyone know what art appa are best for this setup???
Could you pleeeaase do a review on the Simbans Piccasso Tab
Im looking for a Mobile Studio pro aside from the Surface or iPad Pro xD
Hi, great work, can the tablet be powered by the laptop alone? Thanks.
Great question. No, it needs a power supply. That's one of the big differences between this and the smaller D13.
Gaomon PD1560 or Artisul D16?
How is this thing in zbrush?
What drawing program did you use in the video
John Williams photoshop.
I got it for $189 on Amazon I had to buy an adapter for my MacBook Air to use it
