I just purchased a surface pro 3 and found this video. great little video but it is misleading in the fact that the MS pen does not perform pressure sensitive functions in SKP 7. I have tried loading current Wintab drivers for the pen, tried adjusting all types of setting and it is a no go. I can get it in Corel Painter and photoshop but not SKP. Also, the pressure sensitivity is light years behind other technology. I have a 3 year old Samsung Note 10.1 sitting beside my surface pro and the stylus on that rns circles around the Surface. I really, really want to like the Surface because I can install software and not just apps but it really feels clunky in performance compared to my 3 year old Note. If I could have the pressure sensitivity and the pen would not get quirky on detail work, I would love this platform.
I'm thinking whether to get a pro 3 or pro 4. I like how cheap the 3 has gotten compared to the 4 and wanted to get it because of that. if I were to pick the 3, what disadvantages would I have compared to the 4?
warning if you are an artice i highly not recommend the surface pro at all. especially if you draw slowly cause i bought the sp4 i7 8gb 6th generation and have a really annoying pen wobble to the point that it's impossible not to notice (if ur interrested i'll sent u an image of how bad it is) . it was a really BIG disappointment to me especially that i didn't hear about it before buying it. i also used lezy nezumi to help smoothen the stroke but still i couldn't do a single digital drawing. so now am only using it as a pc as a pc :the wifi capter suck unless u deactivate the Bluetooth to get 80% wifi connection of what you're suppose to get. and it have a problem with the scaling of panels inside softwares (photoshop-sketchbook...). the panels are super small to the point u can't see what's written and apparently it's a common problem witout solution. the 4th generation had a software to fix this probleme but Microsoft stopped that programe in the 6th generation (why?? ... idk...) to sum up : am not happy with it for a device of 1250 $ it' s a disappointment. now i have my eyes on the new houion tablets never tried them but am thinking of buying one and use the sp4 as the pc
There are N-trig pens that have over 4000 levels of pressure sensitivity that's of course 100% compatible to Microsoft Surface 3 and 4 (Pro models as well).
Which tablet do you have now? Would you get another surface or ipad if we're getting a drawing tab again?? Looking at older surface pro, surface go, or ipad 10.2 for drawing as a secondary device.
I purchased a surface pro 3 today, and i have sketchbook pro 7 and my sensitivity doesn't seem to be working. Was there something you did to enable it? I can't seem to find it in the options.
I have a question. I can't seem to be able to download sketchbook pro onto my surface pro 3.. is there a specific way I have to do it? Thank you in advanced😏
Just a question I can't seem to find elsewhere . If I wanted to take Surface Pro and use it as a traditional Cintiq (hook it up to a more powerful PC and then use the Surface for only drawing) would that be possible ?
Is the lag of the strokes and pushing the buttons (there are visible pauses between pushing the buttons and them appearing pushed in the software and the strokes are always lagging behind the pencil) a software issue or is the hardware still too restricted for having a virtually latency free drawing experience on the surface pro3?
No trouble with sensitivity in Sketchbook Pro on the SP3? Photoshop works fine for me, as do some other apps - hit and miss, but my former favourite won't do sensitivity. I am using Windows 10, which might be part of the problem (I don't think so), so I tried compatibility modes for Windows 8 and 7. No joy. Surface Hub made no difference.
Hi, I have been out of the graphics game since 2003. After 12 years out, I recently was given an opportunity to illustrate a childrens book. I have been given a Surface Pro 2 and was wondering if I should do the illustrations in sketchbook or illustrator? A friend and I are Co illustrating. He has done the pencil drawings and I am going to scan them in to finish them dihiyally. I've done a few minimal things in photoshop since 03 but that's about it so any advice is helpful....
thanks for the brilliant eyes! I am a mac user, creating training materials in a variety of video and animation programs like screen flow, Captivate, photoshop, etc. My question goes to the SP3 ability to handle large graphic and video files with speed. Of course we use add'l monitors to create more real estate, but the portability of the SP3 looks very inviting. With considering to leave the IOS ecosystem?
I got my Surface, and it's great. Sketchbook Pro isn't amazing though. The big issue being that it's not really well designed for touch screens. You can zoom just fine, though having rotation on made my pen lag. There's also no easy way to pan with the zoom staying at 100. Plus there's no easy onscreen buttons for resetting the zoom and rotation, meaning you pretty much NEED to have some way to use keyboard shortcuts to have a decent time. I found Manga Studio 5 (aka Clip Studio Paint) is great with the surface. It seems ade specifically with touch screens in mind.
Hi - I've always wondered this about tablets and drawing: will it let you rest your hand on the screen while you draw using the stylus? If not, wouldn't it get tiring holding your hand up in the air as you draw?
okay so my surface keeps having issues, serious issues, with this app, what is the process to download it/set it up, because obviously I'm doing something wrong
you didnt really take about the feel on the tablet, is the drawing surface very slippery? Also, is the 264 pressure sensitivity really enough, because this would be my first drawing tablet...(i was planing to get a wacom but then.....i might as well ramp it up to a surface so i could use it as a pc)
MAn, firstly, thanks for the video! Very useful and nice! :D I'm trying to use sketch book pro 2015 but it does not have pinch zoom neither the hand recognition. The app version of this (express) works perfectly! What is the version that you are using and how do you do to "activate" the pinch & zoom and hand recognition? Thanks in advance! :D
How do you set hand recognition in Sketchbook Express (the app) if you want it to ignore the and while drawing. It seems there is an app called sketchbook pro you can upgrade too, do you know anything about that?
It will either be in that specific apps settings or in Control Panel. I know that there is a setting to control the pressure sensitivity. Also RUclips "Surface Pen Sensitivity". Hope this helps.
I'd love something like this. I was considering getting it, but I have one major issue.. I tend to rest my hand on the paper as I draw. Meaning I'd be constantly touching the screen with the side of my hand as I'm trying to draw something, which seems like it would mess things up. Is there any way around that?
The feature you're thinking of is Palm Rejection, and it's a standard feature on devices with capacitive/digitizers that are worth their weight in gold. I'm 200% certain that the Surface Pro 3 uses this technology universally (throughout the OS and applications) but decent drawing apps might have their own layer of this technology. Rest easy.
+★_Vizualize_★ Late answer, yes, Manga Studio & Photoshop both work nicely on the i5 models. 600 DPI with layers works fine even with a internet browser and music playing
if you are used to wacom tablets i wouldn't suggest getting any surface pro as a replacement. I bought a surface pro 2 but you have to constantly calibrate it at every angle you sit and the low pressure level isn't no where near comparable to a 2048 pressure level. Not even close! Maybe if you are a doodler but if you are a concept artist/ digital painter this will not make you happy :). Great vid though sir
Has anyone ever had a compatibility problem? I'm using Sketchbook Pro 7 with my Surface Pro 3 and for 6 months it's been working fine. Recently I have a problem that the screen fades to gray after a while. I don't think it has anything to do with Sketchbook Pro but I thought I'd ask.
+evomoralesCO is no pen pressure sensitive with my Surface pro 3 when use sketchbook pro 7 in windows 10, the Stylus Responsiveness is on and More, why? the pen work great in other app.
jablesmegee ***** yes guys, Surface Pro 3 has the Palm rejection's technology: while you are using the pen in one note or similar you can rest your palm on it, on the document, it will not affect anything. Search on the web if you don't believe me!
It makes perfect sense to have a pen mode that only recognises gestures, not ink. The tablet version has that - I really wish the desktop version did, too. I have contacted Autodesk about it.
my question is (and its a silly question): Lets say you are drawing and obviously you want your pen to be the one giving feedback... if you rest your hand on the screen, will it interfere with you drawing or anything else?
I have a Surface 2 is there a way to make sketchbook run on that? I've tried to install it but it says my device doesn't meet the requirements. I've looked all over online for help but can't get any answers. Is the Surface 2 just outdated for the app? Or do I have to mess around with the device a little bit to make it do what I want? It would be a big help if someone could give me a straight forward answer.
Madoka Nightcore Hmm, I can't remember if I tried, but I recently returned my surface for a refund so I can get a Pro model (hopefully a pro 2 if it's still on sale), when I get it then I'll try to install it, thanks.
In my experience, people who draw ok on paper, can get amazing results on the surface pro if the have the time and the patience. If you're really bad at drawing on paper though, I think you'd struggle to get good results on the surface pro. Hope that answer helps!
On my last post, I want to be clear that my comment is within the context of using my tablets fro digital sketching and painting. I could care less about other functions like gaming, watching movies, etc. I also have an Ipad and all three of these do the normal functions of a tablet well. I am really only interested in a mobile platform for digital sketching and painting and so far, the old Note is very, very hard to beat outside of my Cintiq (which is not mobile of course) A better investment that I should have pulled the trigger on a year or so ago was the Samsung Slate 7. That thing was the ultimate system for mobile design. It used wacom technology and ran just like a computer. I am a little shocked that the surface pro has gone through 3 iterations and it is only this far into the game. I head surface pro 4 will be 1024 levels of sensitivity but Samsung and my note had that 3 years ago. for 1300 dollars, I am just a little disappointed in Microsoft.
mrken001 surface pro 3 isnt a gaming machine. will run alot of games on steam thou. you might have to lower the settings but still good. dont expect to play the witcher 3 with like 60fps. if gaming is ur priority and your on the go. gaming laptops will suit ur needs. gentech and xoticpc something like that. sells great gaming power houses.
Right from the start there is a problem, because my pen doesn't open OneNote by clicking the end. Too bad this tutorial doesn't explain why a click or double-click does what the tutor thinks it does.
The clock feature is exclusive to Surface Pro 3. Double click takes a screenshot, allows you to crop immediately, and then save in OneNote or where you want to. Maybe your pen was DOA if you're sure you have the Surface Pro 3.
***** You got me thinking. I had shut-off the Bluetooth a couple months ago. Now I realize the pen is blue Bluetooth. Thanks for your help. It is working now.

Guides placed right here commonly working. Drawing on the Surface Pro 3 using Sketchbook Pro
GODofMONSTERLAND Oh no Photoshop is an AMAZING program but it doesn't quite suffice for my drawing needs, personally. But no matter, it is still better than any app in any app store, honestly
Michelle Miller photoshop (the full software) is so incredibly dense that it serves in every imaginable way from sketching to concept art, composite and, well... anything. The possible flaw on a tablet PC is that it's such a powerful app that when working on very high res may cause the tablet to lag, as opposed to a light software like sketchbook.
I just got the Microsoft Surface 3, and installed Sketchbook Pro, but my UI doesn't look like yours. I'm missing the bottom left circular menu, and the top menu bar. Also how'd you get your bottom tack bar to stay locked? Also my pen clicks don't do anything? sorry to be a newb, but I'm just trying to understand this tablet
Just a question I can't seem to find elsewhere . If I wanted to take Surface Pro and use it as a traditional Cintiq (hook it up to a more powerful PC and then use the Surface for only drawing) would that be possible ?
Mikey D. Hi Mikey, it wouldn't be for a couple of reasons - probably the most standout is that the pen nib wears away after moderate use unlike with the Cintiq line. After four days of drawing we noticed it on ours - after recording this video.
Thank you for your response ! It has been a difficult question to get answered and even more of a challenge to figure what I should get to get into digital art .
Mikey D. The Surface Pro 3 is great - the pen nib really killed it for us though when it comes to sketching. Also, applying heavy strokes on the screen results in occasional pressure discolouration. The Wacom line is generally the most reliable from our experience. If you've got an iPad the cheapest solution would be the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus + Sketchbook app (uk.shop.wacom.eu/detail/index/sArticle/755?sCoreId=7f47945a98bfb09f49722718dc0da0dc). This is more canvas like than a screen free Wacom device like an Intuous tablet range for example, and much cheaper than the Cintiq.
Eventually I will invest in a Cintiq . It's ashame the Surface Pro has it's art limitations . It's an attractive tablet I was hoping would be a portable option to the Cintiq . If the Cintiq hybrid and Companion fused together without it's issues I would be the everything I need . Hopefully the next iteration of these machines will be better.
when you're good at drawing eyes and nothing else.

oh and I was hoping to do a lot of drawing and animation with it. thank you very much.
I also have the same question
warning if you are an artice i highly not recommend the surface pro at all. especially if you draw slowly cause i bought the sp4 i7 8gb 6th generation and have a really annoying pen wobble to the point that it's impossible not to notice (if ur interrested i'll sent u an image of how bad it is) . it was a really BIG disappointment to me especially that i didn't hear about it before buying it. i also used lezy nezumi to help smoothen the stroke but still i couldn't do a single digital drawing. so now am only using it as a pc
as a pc :the wifi capter suck unless u deactivate the Bluetooth to get 80% wifi connection of what you're suppose to get. and it have a problem with the scaling of panels inside softwares (photoshop-sketchbook...). the panels are super small to the point u can't see what's written and apparently it's a common problem witout solution. the 4th generation had a software to fix this probleme but Microsoft stopped that programe in the 6th generation (why?? ... idk...)

Looking at older surface pro, surface go, or ipad 10.2 for drawing as a secondary device.
Have you ever noticed that with Sketchbook pro, the screen senses your knuckle as the pen and you end up accidentally drawing lines?
I wonder if it's better after pairing a more sensitive pen
Work with the Wacom Stylus feel? How is the palm rejection?
I purchased a surface pro 3 today, and i have sketchbook pro 7 and my sensitivity doesn't seem to be working. Was there something you did to enable it? I can't seem to find it in the options.
That's some mad skill basil good stuff
I can't help notice you never touch your palm. How is the palm rejection on the Surface?
I have the pro 3, it's no problem, my palm is almost never picked up. If you do have a problem just wear a half glove.
also, there is a setting in windows to ignore touches when using a pen.
Do you need to download a Wacom driver to support the pressure sensitivity?
I notice you didn't rest your hand while drawing, is this because the SP3 has bad palm rejection?
how do i get sketchbook to ignore hand touches and just allow the pen to draw. i can do this on the android version without any problems...
Can you rest your hand down as you sketch? or will it also paint the area where your hand touches?
what kind of batteries does it need? that could be annoying
Just got a surface pro. How do you set up the pens sensitivity so you don't make marks with your hand and have to press down the pencil?
Can you put a hand on your tablet while you draw? Thanks.
Hello, sorry the language, the pen of microsoft have 2 buttons, What is the funtion of this 2 buttons?
I have a question. I can't seem to be able to download sketchbook pro onto my surface pro 3.. is there a specific way I have to do it? Thank you in advanced😏
Just a question I can't seem to find elsewhere . If I wanted to take Surface Pro and use it as a traditional Cintiq (hook it up to a more powerful PC and then use the Surface for only drawing) would that be possible ?
what about the nibs`? Are they new to buy like the ones of my wacom?
Is the lag of the strokes and pushing the buttons (there are visible pauses between pushing the buttons and them appearing pushed in the software and the strokes are always lagging behind the pencil) a software issue or is the hardware still too restricted for having a virtually latency free drawing experience on the surface pro3?

Can the surface pro 3 corei3 ver. Be able to use photoshop with ease?
so if i want to buy this,which app have palm rejection? does this device have palm rejection?
Have you tried drawing slowly on it? Like pretty or average slow?
If so does it being wavy lines?
thanks for the brilliant eyes!

Did you have any matte screen protector on? Does the pen works perfectly?
you didnt really take about the feel on the tablet, is the drawing surface very slippery?

Damn the guys actually a pretty good artist
MAn, firstly, thanks for the video! Very useful and nice! :D
I'm trying to use sketch book pro 2015 but it does not have pinch zoom neither the hand recognition. The app version of this (express) works perfectly!

I just got the SP3 and got Sketchbook Pro. The stylus is super sensitive when I draw with the pen and I don't know how to change that.
It will either be in that specific apps settings or in Control Panel. I know that there is a setting to control the pressure sensitivity. Also RUclips "Surface Pen Sensitivity". Hope this helps.
did they fix the jitter?
If you choose a different stylus, could you regain those extra levels of pressure sensitivity of the Wacom tablets?
is this has palm rejection?
I'd love something like this. I was considering getting it, but I have one major issue.. I tend to rest my hand on the paper as I draw. Meaning I'd be constantly touching the screen with the side of my hand as I'm trying to draw something, which seems like it would mess things up. Is there any way around that?

Loved that video. Can you do a step by step tutorial with SketchBook Pro?
What about manga studio or Photoshop? does it work smoothly. I want one as a Cintique replacement
+★_Vizualize_★ Late answer, yes, Manga Studio & Photoshop both work nicely on the i5 models. 600 DPI with layers works fine even with a internet browser and music playing
Stupid question but.. does the pen come in contact with the screen when you draw? or do you have to hold a button?
+Christy Tan lool, you touch the screen. its very accurate :)
+Christy Tan I don't own one, but I am pretty sure it comes in contact with the screen. o.o;;;
if you are used to wacom tablets i wouldn't suggest getting any surface pro as a replacement. I bought a surface pro 2 but you have to constantly calibrate it at every angle you sit and the low pressure level isn't no where near comparable to a 2048 pressure level. Not even close! Maybe if you are a doodler but if you are a concept artist/ digital painter this will not make you happy :). Great vid though sir
when drawing, can you lean your hand on the screen without it affecting your artwork?
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!!!
Has anyone ever had a compatibility problem?
I'm using Sketchbook Pro 7 with my Surface Pro 3 and for 6 months it's been working fine. Recently I have a problem that the screen fades to gray after a while. I don't think it has anything to do with Sketchbook Pro but I thought I'd ask.
+evomoralesCO is no pen pressure sensitive with my Surface pro 3 when use sketchbook pro 7 in windows 10, the Stylus Responsiveness is on and More, why? the pen work great in other app.
can you rest your hand on the book wile drawing like you can with wacom?
Vanhline yes and it doesn't disturb anything
Can you rest your Palm whilst drawing?
***** doesn't look like it, only thing stopping me from getting one atm
jablesmegee ***** yes guys, Surface Pro 3 has the Palm rejection's technology: while you are using the pen in one note or similar you can rest your palm on it, on the document, it will not affect anything. Search on the web if you don't believe me!
***** Yes, absolutely.
+jablesmegee GET ONE! :-) (it does have palm blocking, I think that's just how he draws)
do you do surface pro drawing tutorials and dont lie to yourself your a great artist. cool vid
Can you just deactivate touch altogether and have it only recognize your pen? That would be nice.
Tether Why would that be nice? It has palm rejection, You would also loose essential features like pan and zoom
It makes perfect sense to have a pen mode that only recognises gestures, not ink. The tablet version has that - I really wish the desktop version did, too. I have contacted Autodesk about it.
What version is this? Ci5 or Ci7?
how do you export dwg file?
Thanks for the Review 👍
my question is (and its a silly question): Lets say you are drawing and obviously you want your pen to be the one giving feedback... if you rest your hand on the screen, will it interfere with you drawing or anything else?
Juan Hernandez with most apps it won't
you can swutch your surface pro to ipad mode so your hand wont bring up other programs
I have a Surface 2 is there a way to make sketchbook run on that? I've tried to install it but it says my device doesn't meet the requirements.

CobraArts
Np :) Its one of the best programs for drawing. :D
Madoka Nightcore Yeah, I've used it on my computer, but I believe the surface just couldn't run PC software.
Can someone answer my question, can you use a stylus on the surface ? Or just the pen
Dang its been 8 months and no response lol i dont know either and eant to know
Very interested to know what spec Surface Pro 3 you are using? i5/i7 4gb/8gb ram?
+Stickymicky25 Same here. Ci5 is cheaper... but less stronger.
can you use autodesk invented on this??
Bro .. Show me how to trace an image in sketchbook or any other app.....
do you need to be good a drawing on paper in order to to draw on surface pro?
In my experience, people who draw ok on paper, can get amazing results on the surface pro if the have the time and the patience. If you're really bad at drawing on paper though, I think you'd struggle to get good results on the surface pro. Hope that answer helps!
You don't need to be good to start learning. Nobody starts good!
Its 2020, but I still dream of buying it

Hello Sergio, what lag issues are you referring to? I now have a Surface Pro 3 and my office just purchased the surface pro 4
Can Surface Pro 2 Or 1 Do like this?.
Yes, provided you have the stylus and the Sketchbook application.
Btekt Gamers often complain about poor cooling features and throttling issues with the CPU, did you experience any lag when using it?
mrken001 surface pro 3 isnt a gaming machine. will run alot of games on steam thou. you might have to lower the settings but still good. dont expect to play the witcher 3 with like 60fps. if gaming is ur priority and your on the go. gaming laptops will suit ur needs. gentech and xoticpc something like that. sells great gaming power houses.
Thank :)
Hi, nice video! I have just this question, how did u manage to use multitouch gestures to zoom in and out?
how does it feel?
Right from the start there is a problem, because my pen doesn't open OneNote by clicking the end. Too bad this tutorial doesn't explain why a click or double-click does what the tutor thinks it does.

*dont mind me looking for art programs on youtube for surface go because most of them wont work woth my pen-*
Have u found one yet😅
i get it--basil exposition!
does this app is there in ios devices??

Guides placed right here commonly working. Drawing on the Surface Pro 3 using Sketchbook Pro
You prefer sketchbook .......
...... Because it's free.
GODofMONSTERLAND Sketchbook Pro is subscription based. The lack of lag by comparison to Photoshop is the main advantage when sketching.
No, because Photoshop is not friendly for sketching purposes at all.
Michelle, are you serious?
PS is great.
Oh well, each to their own.
GODofMONSTERLAND Oh no Photoshop is an AMAZING program but it doesn't quite suffice for my drawing needs, personally. But no matter, it is still better than any app in any app store, honestly
Michelle Miller photoshop (the full software) is so incredibly dense that it serves in every imaginable way from sketching to concept art, composite and, well... anything. The possible flaw on a tablet PC is that it's such a powerful app that when working on very high res may cause the tablet to lag, as opposed to a light software like sketchbook.
do you have to download sketchbook pro?
Yes its on windows store
Can I hook up an intuos to this?
why would you need to?
Defeats the point but i suppose you can
Wait..... 3 Mobile still exists?
Are you gonna draw on the new surface pro? They say that the pen is really good
Luna hahahaha not at all i bought it and never used it again. the wobbling is just soooo annoying
is surface pro 4 better?
...yes.
Make a video using illustrator please!!!
I use sketchbook on my phone. It kinda sucks.. But I have gotten used to its limits
download medibang its an awesome free drawing app its awesome for manga and comic book drawing
I love Medibang
If you put the drawing part at high speed I can't see the pen quality which is why I ended up watching this video.
Dude you should claim to be awesome artists I can't even draw stickman :O
TOP!!!

I just got the Microsoft Surface 3, and installed Sketchbook Pro, but my UI doesn't look like yours. I'm missing the bottom left circular menu, and the top menu bar. Also how'd you get your bottom tack bar to stay locked? Also my pen clicks don't do anything? sorry to be a newb, but I'm just trying to understand this tablet
Just a question I can't seem to find elsewhere . If I wanted to take Surface Pro and use it as a traditional Cintiq (hook it up to a more powerful PC and then use the Surface for only drawing) would that be possible ?
Mikey D. Hi Mikey, it wouldn't be for a couple of reasons - probably the most standout is that the pen nib wears away after moderate use unlike with the Cintiq line. After four days of drawing we noticed it on ours - after recording this video.
Thank you for your response ! It has been a difficult question to get answered and even more of a challenge to figure what I should get to get into digital art .
Mikey D. The Surface Pro 3 is great - the pen nib really killed it for us though when it comes to sketching. Also, applying heavy strokes on the screen results in occasional pressure discolouration. The Wacom line is generally the most reliable from our experience. If you've got an iPad the cheapest solution would be the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus + Sketchbook app (uk.shop.wacom.eu/detail/index/sArticle/755?sCoreId=7f47945a98bfb09f49722718dc0da0dc). This is more canvas like than a screen free Wacom device like an Intuous tablet range for example, and much cheaper than the Cintiq.
Eventually I will invest in a Cintiq . It's ashame the Surface Pro has it's art limitations . It's an attractive tablet I was hoping would be a portable option to the Cintiq . If the Cintiq hybrid and Companion fused together without it's issues I would be the everything I need . Hopefully the next iteration of these machines will be better.
Mikey D. Your wish came true, the cintiq companion 2 is coming out in Feb,
