- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- Hey, guys! I hope all is well. Today I am bringing you an updated review of the latest generation Wacom Intuos Pro. I was never happy with how the original came and I wanted to do something better for you. This time we use the Intuos Pro with Wacoms smooth texture sheet. We see how the texture sheet changes the experience, we talk about the hardware, the Pro Pen 2, and more.

Sorry for the long intro- this was recorded at a time where I was experimenting and doing some things very randomly. It wasn’t on purpose- I don’t like long intros either. Modern videos on the channel don’t have long intros.
What's the music?
What I did with my older Intuos tablets to get the smooth texture, I went over their surface with a rubber eraser to remove the grainy finish. It's not an ideal way to achieve it but hey, as long as it's free.. I really wish they'd stop shipping their tablets with grainy textures as the default option, it doesn't feel good, it wears out the nibs too fast and eventually it leaves the surface all scracthed up and shiny in places where you draw the most. My first tablet was Intuos3 and it had no texture, it still looks like new and I never had to replace the nibs.
hello i need advice..i want to buy m 1st drawing tablet what do u suggest between wacom intuos art and wacom intuos pro 2017?
I came up with a similar strategy, however I think rubber eraser might do it more effectively, without risking to damage the tablet itself.
Ok when powdered toast man appeared I was immediately sold
I'm pleased to see more Paintstorm users and coverage. Especially as someone who likes Linux and it being one of the few commercial-grade software that are actually trying to officialy support it.
Thanks so much for making this review! It really helped with my decision to go with the intuos instead of waiting to save up for the cintaq or ipad pro. Happy with my decision, thanks again!
Cladio: Thanks for the review with great insight. Just learning to use my new Ituos Pro,
Omg im soo exited to use mine, i just got it today.
How is it?

I remember using Wacom tablet many years ago. The experience was out of this world. For university I have bought myself Surface Pro 4, which shifted from Wacom technology (used in Surface Pro 1 and 2) to their own. I was thinking the pen feel will be at least similar, but I was wrong. Microsoft pen technology was and is years behind Wacom, even compared to Wacom's first generation. Pen matrix resolution and pressure levels are very low and there is very limited if any advanced tilt support on Surface Pro 4 with annoying tip offset. These limitations were very noticeable on precise and slow lines, that were drawn edgy, because of low resolution. Therefore I have used the pen very little, only for quick and basic stuff (highlighting and circling the pdfs) and later I completely switched to paper notes.
I would argue that a precise gaming mouse and low latency display offer a better drawing experience than an inferior pen design. Now that I am drawing a lot of block diagrams I am thinking of investing in Wacom tablet since I won't have to redraw them from paper to PC.
Would you still recommend this model?
I got one for my birthday today :)
no on lucky! ^^

@@giovanniarellano2628
happy birthday :D
Thank you no on
Thank you for the review. I'll be picking up this model soon. What monitor are you using?
WACOM should give the buyers the smooth sheet free, the original is no good and they have let it go ahead to sell nibs
Ron Wylie Absolutely they should! It should be an option at checkout- but it’s wacom, so I wouldn’t expect much else lolz
Why would they do that when they can charge you and you'll go along with it? It's their business model - skin the customer to the bone.
@escapee because they know we will keep paying hahah
just bought mine...first time using it and it ate the nib just like a paper eats a pencils lead
i'm so sad right now...and the stores here in the philippines probably doesn't have those smoother sheets
I see you did a "BUTTERED TOAST MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" sketch. Nice
mechaart You mean Powdered toast man!!
HAHHA I GOT THAT REFERENCE!!! Newgrounds 😁😂
Nice video I had doubts regarding the smooth sheet. You’ve been very helpful
oga90 Thank you for tuning in- appreciate it!
Thank you so much for reviewing this! As a lefty did you find it hard to get used to the tablet? and what windows does it work on? Thank you so much again for reviewing this tablet!
Jelli Anne Gando Hey there! When I was using it I find no issues. It’s setup for both righty and lefty so I don’t think you’d run into any problems. It should run on multiple versions of windows like 7 & 10 but I would double check to be sure. The tablet functions through Wacom’s drivers so you might want to double check on that. Stay well!
From what I gathered the only way the cintiq is somewhat superior to intuos is when it comes to drawing linework, but is inferior when it comes to painting. I guess if you're a pro comics artist the cintiq might worth the huge price.
Upgraded from my Bamboo Fun to the Pro Medium, for use with Zbrush. Will get the smooth sheet as I'am wearing down a nib every 5 days (8 hours use per day though) . And that is with only hard surface modelling so very few strokes.
Paintstorm looks like a nice program, how about a review.
sqwert Cool- yes I think you’ll have much better experience with the smooth sheet. I have a couple Paintstorm videos up here on the channel. Got new one coming very soon too. Thanks for watching
paintstorm is very laggy and ui is very cluttered, i feel like i wasted money on it
abdul malik Paintstorm cluttered? That doesn’t make sense. It’s UI conforms and it’s meant to be designed by the user. The entire basis of its dynamic and responsive user interface is to get out of the way. What system are you using it on? You need a discrete card to run it well on the desktop- but everything can be ran with GPU off. You have to spend time learning the ins and outs.
abdul malik Adjust your global scale- redesign your interface. Every part of the Paintstorm UI is made to be redesigned by the user. Everything and every part can be scaled in size dynamically- and every tool is at your disposal by a single movement. It literally streamlines it all. If you are using it on a system without discrete graphics- it’s better to run it with GPU off. If you have a discrete card- the brushes can be pushed by the GPU. Bristle brushes are complex, and are not designed to go over 250-300 pixels- if you want to use them large you have to lower the bristle amount. You have to take the time out to understand the core fundamentals of the soft.
abdul malik And if it doesn’t work out email them- they’ll refund you. However, I think you should spend more time w/it- it takes a while to really master what it’s all about.
Powdered Toast Man, awesome.
My main issue with my Wacom Intuos tablet is it often stops, necessitating me having to restart it. I've used the same tablet on three different computers and it's been the same on all three. Really annoying when I'm editing an image.
You posted this a year ago but I was wondering if you had problems getting the pen holder open. Mine is stuck and I can’t seem to get it open
I didn't, but I do remember it sometimes being a little tricky. You kind of have to do it flat with the palms of each hand. Try it like that and it should open up. Palm on top, palm on bottom and then twist with both hands.
@@CladioJulianoArt Omg thank you for this explanation! I've been trying for nearly an hour to open mine hahaha!
Do you need to disable the Multi-Touch when you're using the pen, or does the driver prevent inadvertent touches automatically while drawing with the pen? Nobody talks about this in reviews, and i don't understand why, because it's one of the most important features, IMO.
johann jensson Ah it’s kind of hit or miss with the palm rejection. Sometimes works fine sometimes will register false touches. I tend to just flip the touch switch off and back on- but Sometimes it works totally fine with touch on.
Have you used a Surface Pro 3 to draw at all? I'm thinking about selling it for an improved drawing experience. I just wanted to know if you have compared the two.
Really helpful review as i was looking into buying a Wacom Tablet. I mostly work with Photoshop and Illustrator, so should I buy the Intuos Pro?
Amna Khan Khan Well if you want the in depth hot keys and touch ring along with the 8K pro pen 2 I’d say yes. The intuos pro is basically the equivalent of the cintiq pro just without the screen. However, if you don’t want or need the 8K pen or the hotkeys like this- they do make the standard intuos which is cheaper. If it’s your first tablet you might want to try the standard intuos first. Also if you go for the intuos pro you will have to buy the smooth texture sheet to get a normal experience for illustration.
Cladio Juliano Thanks for the reply. I was also looking at the Intuos art which is cheaper than the intuos pro..
Amna Khan Khan I would say start off with one of those guys first- the pen technology is still high level on them.
Cladio Juliano Sure Thank u😊 Than Intuos art it is.
Hi, do you suggest me to buy this new intuos pro with the smooth texture sheet or the old intuos pro version? I use the tablet for 3D sculpting
Hi is this good for slack meetings to be used asa whiteboard?
How to activate Wacom intuos pro medium pen? I really confused.
I really want to buy it, but there are just so many negative reviews about it on Amazon.
Julian Lewis I think if you get the soft texture sheet it can give a decent experience however I still wish they redesigned the pen tips. With the stock sheet for me it was unusable. My reason for preferring the modern Intuos Pro is for the Pro Pen 2 features. I think the soft sheet and felt nibs work well. Maybe they will make new pen tips for it. I don’t think it’s a bad buy if you get the soft sheet but I’m not a fan of how it forces you into having to buy the soft sheet.
@@CladioJulianoArt - Where can I get the soft sheet and felt nibs from? Thanks
Julian Lewis The felt nibs come with it in the pen holder- the soft texture sheet they sell on their website and they have them on amazon too.
How long does the tablet last, if you use it wireless? Does it add any kind of lag, when drawing and painting?
I don't remember the exact number, but it was long lasting. Wireless didn't lag per say, but it did feel just ever so slightly different than wired, however I used it wirlesss with no major issues.
i actually got some major problems with the bluetooth connectivity. it de-connects after like 7 minutes of work, and is really laggy. it makes my laptop bug and glitch often.. and its weird cause all my drivers are up to date, and i have a pretty high performance laptop with i7 and 8gb of ram, ssd...
anyone help?
PopcornSticker Hard to say what the issue is- when I used mine for Bluetooth/wireless I was using with my old Mac and I didn’t have any issues. With the tower I used hardwired. You might have gotten a defected unit- you should reach out to their support. The connection definitely shouldn’t disconnect like that.
PopcornSticker Is it a laptop that already has pen input? Or is it just a regular laptop? I know if it’s a windows ink enabled laptop that will cause interference and driver incompatibility issues.
@@CladioJulianoArt :C
@@CladioJulianoArt I dont even know what is a pen input on a laptop... Its a lenovo y-700. It sure has the widows ink on it tho. but i dont really know how to desable it.
PopcornSticker I meant windows ink pen input (n-trig) like Surface. I just looked I don’t think your laptop has pen input built in so that wouldn’t be the problem. I’m really not sure why you are experiencing issues with wireless. i would call Wacom to troubleshoot and see if you can nail down what’s causing the connection issue. When I tested with the Mac wireless worked fine with no major issues.
Can u use this pencil on ibis paint x? And what app is this? Im a newby and im thinking about getting this plus any tips?
what is that program you use to demonstrate ?
great video thanks :)
Great in depth review!
Hi, this is probably a stupid question, but at 19:29, the tablet itself seems to have a display, and it doesn't look like a reflection of the computer. I didn't think the Intuos pro had a display like that. This isn't like a Cintiq, right, where it has its own screen? You can't draw directly onto it, you have to look at a computer screen to see what you are drawing? I'm considering buying one and I've never owned one before. I'm trying to figure out if this is worth the money or if I should just get something else, like a Huion Kamvas, which would allow me to have a device similar to a Cintiq for only a couple hundred dollars more than an Intuos. There are a lot of horrible reviews for all the products I mentioned, so it's been really difficult to make a decision.
K Cook It doesn’t have a display- it’s just a pen tablet. No screen. Have to look at a monitor like I’m showing here. As far as what to get- you’d have to figure out what works best for you. Drawing on screen or looking straight ahead at monitor. I am no longer using the Intuos Pro- but I found it to be better with the smooth texture sheet. I realized I prefer working directly on screen but I prefer medium sized screens rather than large.
@@CladioJulianoArt Got it, thank you for the review and for replying. I think I'll prefer working on screen, but I'm still thinking it over. Have a great week!
As someone who is looking to get into digital art ( and art in general) do you recommend this one or the non pro version?
Thank you for the video!
Hey my friend. I think if you are just starting the non pro version is a good place to start. Pen technology is good, so you should be all good. The nice thing about the Pro line is the built in express keys.
@@CladioJulianoArt thank you so much! I will go with the non pro:)
I'm glad that they put long rubber feet almost as wide as the tablet, because the previous Pro (at least the S version) has them on the corners and when I rest my hand on the middle, the tablet bends under the weight - very annoying.
What I'm not happy about is that Wacom still thinks professionals are actually using the pen "eraser" - no sane artist will turn their pen while they're drawing/sculpting. The "eraser" adds costs, which is supported by the customer of course and it rattles so the pen feels less sturdy making annoying sounds.
How is it nowadays?
how is the bluetooth on it and what port is the charging cable? I have a MBP with thunderbolt 3 and want to get all bluetooth accessories and get rid of the dongle life for the most part
Graham Jimerson Not bad when going wireless- not bad at all, but it’s not quite as responsive as being wired. There is a certain instantaneous response when hard wired. However, you can easily work with it not wired and have no problem. It just has a littler higher latency.
Do you still have it? Is it long lasting?
Hi! Your Video is excellent, Thank you so much for your help and recommendations. It has made choosing a first tablet much easier . I was SO close to buying an Intuos Pro but i bought a cheaper XP-Pen Deco Pro instead… ITS BIGGER AND ITS AMAZING!!!!!! Thank you SOOO much! I almost spent my hard earned money on this tablet!
Should I upgrade my Bamboo Touch to 2018's Intuos Pro , Or should I just invest in ipad pro 2018 for the portability? hmm
Good question- hard to answer lol. Really depends on how you want to work. iPad Pro is definitely a favorite for me. If possible I'd say get the cheaper new regular Intuos pro and maybe also an iPad Pro. I like to have multiple setup styles so I do like having a pen tablet around- but if you invest in the iPad Pro it's an art tool that will go a long way for you. Have some good info in the 2018 iPad Pro review on the channel here.
Can you confirm that this uses a USB-C connection? I can't find confirmation of this anywhere.
and it seems like the older models, possibly from 2017, do not have this type of connectivity. Hence my confusion.
James Lueken It uses USB C to USB 3 so the actual port on the Intuos is usb c but the connector that comes with it is USB C to USB 3. If you have a machine with a type C port you’d need to connect it wireless via Bluetooth or with a USB C to USB 3 converter dongle.
Thanks!
Excuse short question, “One by Wacom” not better decision for digital drawing?
I'm sure the One is good, but the Intuos has more options. Like built in hot key controllers and Wacoms best pen 8K pressure pen technology.
I'm considering getting one, but was wondering, how long do these intuos pro devices last you for after purchase usually?
Skyra Leon They last a long time. At least 5 years +
@@CladioJulianoArt wow, sounds great! Thanks!
Hi, my Dell Inspiron is over 3+year and i noticed my Wacom pro skipped and dragged, I finally sent fot a new computer coming with gen9 and a nividia graphics card with 32gigs . Will this help with the dragging?
Depends on what software you are using.
Thks
Where can i find linux driver for this wacom ??
What is it's price
I bought a used one and i'm not having that experience at all with the pen. I'm having inconsistencies with various brushes. Sometimes it's amazing, and other times it's not catching.
I think they updated it after so many complained because my small, which I got more recently, doesn't file the tip down anywhere near like how it did when I first reviewed this one. Inconstances with brushes would be a software issue most likely.
@@CladioJulianoArt u mean they updated the hardware or the driver for the tablet? I'm using photoshop for my software and I don't have any problems if I use my mouse, it's only on the tablet. 🤷♀️
guys i have 31" monitor and i do editing photo in photoshop, wgich size is better? M or L?
homan heidari khayat The medium is quite big, and the large is really large. I would say if you want portability it would be better to get the medium. If you plan on setting it up at a workstation and don’t plan to use it anywhere other than that workstation the large. They also now make a small version too.
@@CladioJulianoArt thanks cladio, i am worry about my screen resolution,i afraid my 31" screen is big for Medium size!
homan heidari khayat Screen size has no effect. The pen tablet is mapped to the entirety of the display. Doesn’t matter what screen size you are working with.
@@CladioJulianoArt thanks a milion
I am new with tablets so can you tell me which programs are best to use for drawing? Is photoshop ok or should i get some other program? Thank you
For Windows or Mac I reccomend Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and Paintatorm. Each are fully featured and I prefer them over PS. In fact I don't do any drawing or Painting in PS. Krita is free, and the other two are very cheap. All have great brush engines and are full pro level software's.
Hello! I'm just planning to buy wacom intuos pro soon if I have earn a enough money. I just have a question, does it have a csp with it and how long is its license? And if it can be connect to a laptop? If it can, do I need to download some software or something for it in the laptop to work?
no free software with the intuos pro, the one i have came with 2 month license for Adobe Photo apps
what model number it this?
Paint storm desktop and iOS have big difference I saw your video tutorial on paint storm on iPad pro. Got me interested.
Is there" magic ward" and" select similar" in paint storm?
Btw I got to agree with you I really love my intuos pro an upgrade from my intuos4 and I prefer intuos over cintiq
kelvin lee Which big differences? Because it’s same code line for line for each platform. Yes there is magic wand- select similar I’m not positive. The selection tool options pop up on the top menu bar when you use one of them.
Cladio Juliano sorry typo error a I mean is there big difference between pc and iOS iPad version between paint storm?
Oh damn that's the reason why I cant color my art work in procreate I used magic wand - select similar alot...
Still considering whether to purchase it to replace both my pc photoshop and iPad procreate but there is no trial which sucks
kelvin lee Ohhh yea man it’s exactly the same! Awesome for iPad Pro. There is a trial- search Paintstorm lite that’s the free trial version.
Cladio Juliano thanks 😀 I would try it out myself
How to deselect?
Can you please mention, which software you just used in drawing Toast man..!
ASIF RAHMAN Hi, this was in Paintstorm Studio. I also use Clip Studio Paint.
Hi there, I am an artist and degree graduate that has always done her art work strictly by hand with pen to paper, however i am looking to try out the world of digital art. I feel like such a newborn in terms of digital art and technology ...but i have been looking this tablet online and am tempted to buy it and give it a go. Would you say it is a good investment for a digital art beginner like myself? does my background and confidence in 2d hand drawn illustration, painting, rush technique etc give me any advantage? by that i mean, will it help me flow into things a bit better?. What level of quality works can you create with this device? I work mainly in fashion illustration and animation as well as tattoo design so something that would look effective and give me nice precise quality to send to clients instead of sending them physical artwork via postage etc would help ten fold. Any information or advise would be appreciated thank you kindly in advance.
Hey! Well, I have to be honest. I think as someone just coming in you would be better served with an iPad and Apple pencil. Not only do many of the pros use it, but its just excellent those transitioning into digital because its extremely natural and realistic. Plus, you can work directly on screen. This wouldn't be the right tool for you. The iPad and Apple Pencil would be the best tool for you to get into digital art with. I reccomend the newer iPad Air that has pencil support. Check some of the iPad videos here on the channel.
What are the programs did you use ?
For drawing and sculpting
Paintstorm Studio and Sculptris
Hi! I was wondering, how many and which drawing programs does Wacom Intuos Pro M have?
No bud, these are drawing tablets. They are hardware that you plug into your computer similar to a mouse or keyboard. Its your computer that runs the software (whether thats Photoshop, SAI, or any other thing that's out there. They all work with the tablet
Does this work with a laptop
Yes it does
What s the name of the software or program that him uses on this video? pleasee
meló mano Called Paintstorm Studio.
Could you please tell me what software you are using in this video ?
M. H. Paintstorm studio- but I also use Clip Studio Paint pretty equally.
I just bought a new Intuos Pro Medium, would you know why my corner lights are not lighting up? I have been through the settings and I have the slider all the way up but still nothing. Any help would be appreciated!
Not exactly sure what you mean by corner light
Is the touch sensitivity (when you use it with fingers) lost with the protective layer? Thanks in advance
Not sure what you mean when it comes to the protective layer? If you mean the texture sheet, no not at all. Touch works great.
@@CladioJulianoArt Yes the "texture sheet" thanks.
thanks, been thinking of getting one. What is your opinion on Chinese tablets...like huion etc???
Marcus K I hear some aren’t bad- and I hear others have some drivers problems. I’ve heard mostly good things about the Huion- but I haven’t gotten the chance to test any of them for myself yet. Maybe will check some out soon.
Think ill stick to Wacom. Thank you for your quick response.
Do your brushes work with Photoshop or Illustrator?
Goldie Silberberg Hi- they wouldn’t be compatible w/them.
In comparison, is this one better than the new intuos M ctl 6100?
I don't know if these are the right ones, but it says it's an intuos pro s. I need help to know which is better and which I should buy
alan There is Intuos & Intuos Pro. The
new/latest gen Intuos Pro’s only come in Medium and Large sizes- the small size is the older generation. The intuos pro medium and large have Wacom’s latest technology which is the 8K pen pressure, natural tilt, and rotation. The regular non pro intuos is 4K and I don’t think they offer tilt. The intuos pro medium and large also have a verity of express keys and the touch ring + center button. If you get the Intuos pro medium or large you’ll want to get the smooth texture sheet. The one that comes with the machine is not really unusable for Art because it’s like sand paper and it files down the tips super quick.
@@CladioJulianoArt So in comparison, which wins? ctl-6100 (medium intuos) or intuos pro S? I can afford both but I can't get the medium))
alan Depends on your use case. The new intuos pro medium is bigger than CTL6100 so it’s definitely larger and takes up more space. Both have good pen tech but technically the intuos pro medium will have the CTL6100 beat because it has Wacom’s full 8K pressure pen technology- it also has more express keys. If you need something smaller and more compact the standard intuos would be the way to go. If you want something for a desk the Intuos Pro medium would be the better option.
@@CladioJulianoArt I meant the small intuos, the one that's older. The Intuos pro S. (I need this help as its my first tablet and I don't wanna buy something that couldve been replaced with something better)
alan Oh technically the intuos pro medium would be better. The Pro S has Wacom’s old gen 2K pen tech and less natural tilt. Wacom’s new 8K pen tech has much more natural tilt and rotation - and its a nice design. However like I said the medium is much bigger than the small even in that case.
So is it worth buying?
It is if you get the smooth texture sheet too.
what sculp program was that on the video?
F It’s called Sculptris.
Thank you !
Eric Duchesnes No thank you!
Can i connect this tablet with my imac?
Yup
@@CladioJulianoArt thank you! I'm considering of buying it :)
@@liwixss1012 No prob! Just make sure you keep in mind the smooth texture sheet will give the best experience with it.
