It’s not for the larger high-res paintings I do, but for studies, ideation, and more fun drawings, I think it does the job really well and worthy of the praise it gets as an ideal option for beginner digital artists on a budget who need something standalone.

    Nowadays I use the iPad more often because it's closer to the pencil&paper experience, but I don't feel like the difference between iPad Pro/Air and basic iPad is enough to make up for the price. I'm quite happy this way.

    I know you mention the steeper learning curve with the pen tablets, but I see this as a plus - let me explain: One of the challenges I found in a drawing course was to do blind contour drawing, and the aim is to improve the hand/eye/paper coordination and increase the observation skills. I feel that getting a pen tablet is a challenge for sure, but the progress in skills is greater. I'll probably move to a screen-based tablet at some point in the future but for now I'm still challenging myself to a: learn to draw digitally and b: learn the skills I mentioned above.

    I just bought a cheap huion that can connect to a smart phone. so far it seems pretty cool. I still like my large 19" huion screen best even though it is a ton of years old. My fave was when I had the 12.9 ipad pro with paper like. It worked out well because of its large screen and portability (mainly the largest size because my physical vision sucks). I plan on getting another later on.
    I did move my 7-year-old from the Kindle Fire to the Galaxy tab for using flip-a-clip and she is enjoying the ability to choose whether she draws with her fingers or the pen when making animations on it. (Kids' skills these days are amazing, lol!)
    I definitely like the screen ones a lot more now a days. I remember learning off those weird greyish yellowing ones in the 1980s when I was little (my parents were both in drafting and art so I had access to fun gadgets). Anything with a screen now is super but I still have the flat hand eye ones because sometimes I find it easier since my vision isn't obstructed my my own pen in my face.
    Great video!

    As owner of several iPads and a graphic tablet: The freedom of the iPad with a paperlike screenprotector is incredibly nice to draw upon.
    However, I would always prefer the thinner "glas" I experience with the Pro version rather than my "regular" iPad.
    To me, drawing has to be fun to do, not a task to find fun in there. If you are unsure or inexperienced, try to borrow such a device for a week or try it out at a friends place.
    My iPad has found a lot of additional ways to improve my life. Watching netflix in bed or on a plane / train are such a mobility. I like to play Final Fantasy Tactics and I wrote a lot of my Master Thesis on it, because I could easily type and write by hand. So much more useful to my everyday life.
    The Wacom is surely the better device, but I dedicate to the time that I spent on it not vice versa.

      i have an ipad too, and a non-screen pen tablet, and honestly the iPad is good as a device that has drawing as an extra, because the apple pencil is shaped and works in a way that to me is unintuitive and clunky (the tip is so thick that i can barely see where I'm drawing) and most popular drawing apps on the iPad are either expensive or lack many important features (procreate not having a canvas texture option, c'mon) or the brush engine feels weird and slow (procreate again which tapers and smooths strokes even if you have that turned off)
      a tablet is definitely better if you just wanna draw, the iPad is good if you wanna draw and do other things on it, because it's definitely not made FOR art

      You don't start coloring with caran d'ache's, you start with whatever you have so you can fully utilize and appreciate what that premium product has to offer.
      The ipad has a lot of software quirks that makes your art, say... easier? Just like clip studio kinda blends for you. I've seen my classmates struggle with drawing anything decent without their ipad, because they rely on it as a crutch. They rely on it to fix their lines, to fix their wobbles, to add texture etc, instead of actually acquiring that skill. Im just speaking from what I've observed in my own art class, generally those students are the worst when asked to change their mediums or even their software. I think if you rely too much on a tool to the point where it becomes a crutch, there's a slight problem.

    I couldn't be happier. It's so much fun to draw on, it has so many other uses, and it's just SO portable. No matter where I am I can just pop that thing out and draw, edit photos with Lightroom, draft quick logos and other designs up with illustrator, and just do general tablet stuff. I 100% recommend it for anyone looking for a drawing tablet.
    On top of all that it easily has the best resale value and would be the easiest to sell if I ever wanted/needed to.

      I'm leaning towards the tab s8 since it looks more versatile than the ipad, along with the free s pen and expandable storage. But due to how popular procreate is on the internet, with a dozen videos of it in every corner I turn, I still find myself contemplating ipad for it.

    I've been using the XP-PEN artist 15.6 similar to the Kamvas for 4 years and It's really been a blessing for me as it still works perfectly. It fits in my case logic backpack and I only need to power it with USB cable. The only thing that bothers me nowadays is that working almost everyday with it makes my upper back tired so I'm thinking about getting a large intuos or getting a remote control as it will help with my shoulder/wrist. Do you think you can work almost exclusively with a remote control or will I have to keep reaching for the keyboard?

    I've owned a Kamvas 22 Plus for the past half a year and I think its the best bang for your buck "budget" Display tablet(around $500) all because of the 21.5" free real estate you got and 140% sRGB color gamut which is the highest of its price point and an Etched glass to come along with it. Other than that it has Vesa mount holes and comes with a adjustable stand. Served me pretty well so far, if you're looking to buy a budge display tablet this is the one to get no doubt.

    I like the iPad Air 4 with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, because for me I never learned the drawing tablets which is connected to the computer and the eye / hand coordination. I simply never learned to draw that way, no matter how many years I tried... I think it's because I have bad coordination as it is, so this felt so unnatural for me. I thought that I could never learn digital drawing, but when I got my iPad 6th gen with 1st gen pencil it was a game changer! And later I upgraded it to what I have now. However, there are cool things I want to try out in this video so thanks for all the tips! :)

      In my opinion, the huion one is fine if you have 60-80 bucks to spend on it, because it has 8 buttons and a slider with multimedia buttons, and a very large surface, but for only 40 bucks with the deco tablet, the drawing area isn’t too much smaller, with still 6 buttons. The xp pen one could be used for professional art with the great size and options it has.

  • @graphosxp
    @graphosxp Год назад +19

    one of the reasons that drawing tablets without screens require increase coordination is because the tablet-to-screen mapping is often wrong. Draw a circle using an old style plastic template placed on the tablet and see if the image on the screen is true or oval. If the image is not a true circle then you can understand why it's hard to draw correctly! This is not so much a problem when using a tablet just for photo editing, and some 3D stuff like painting textures on a live 3D model. Out of the box Wacom's Intous 3 mapping used on a modern monitor are ALWAYS wrong, though the mapping can easily be adjusted in the control panel app .

    • @asimian8500
      @asimian8500 Год назад +13

      In the driver, you can and should change the tablet’s aspect ratio to match your screen. Then you won’t be drawing distorted circles. The bigger issue for many is the disconnect between drawing on the tablet and watching the image appear on the monitor. It takes practice and most people can adjust in little time.

    • @squidward3333
      @squidward3333 Год назад +1

      @@asimian8500 correct. You can map the aspect ratio so at least there is not distortion to the *aspect* ratio- but its still upscaling your movements, so I personally still consider the pen tablet to be a problem because of *scaling* ratio. The mindset change of not watching your hand, while looking at a screen with no hand/pen reference, and making movements that then translate to a different scaling ratio, is not just a hurdle, but a learned distortion. So the individual must make a decision to learn this distortion, or wait to save for a display tablet. I spent a month with a pen tablet and realized I didn’t want to train my brain to change what it’s always done with using a pen. Although pen tablets can be honed, I decided to get a display- I have enough training to do besides distorting how I’ve always used a pen. It’s definitely a preference the artist must decide upon.

I got mine because a lady's daughter opened hers and used it like two or three times and eventually got another, smaller one.

    Currently using huion hs611, it is definitely a great drawing tablet that provides more than enough shortcut keys. However keep in mind that even though it has a big enough workspace considering its price, it can still feel small for taller artists. That doesn't seem like much of an issue but in my experience it forces me to use my wrist more than my elbow and we all know how much issues that can cause on your hands.
    So if you're someone who is a bit on the bigger side, please invest in a bigger drawing tablet.

    I always come to your videos for these things to stay current, and esp when I'm looking to buy. Just wanted to say another thing to factor in is 3D work. Zbrush, 3D Coat, Blender, Substance and so on, which rules out the iPad. The cintiq alternatives are great, esp. if you are just starting with digital sculpting and a 3D pipeline. Eventually, you are going to have to learn about proper geometry and retopologising, or may even wnat to animate. As well as painting materials in Substance.... as much as I hate Adobe. While there may be options for iOS, you really need access to full blown desktop software to get serious.
    The wacom alternatives make this side of the 3D pipline FAR more accessable. Even if it's just a hobby.
