Parallax? Check the drivers to see if you can calibrate your screen. That shit never goes completely away, it's barely noticeable in mid-high high tier screen tablet but those costs way more than 50 euros. Yeah you constantly fight against the monitor with digital, you just have to live with it.

>>7864459
Yea I did calibrate it few times but still looks a bit off in certain positions

>side buttons on tablet pens
do you actually use these? if you use a lefthand device or a cheap macro pad or something these buttons seem redundant

>>7864476
when you calibrate it, hold it the way you want to and in the position/angle you use it in and it will be slightly better
but older/cheaper tablets are always a bit off, especially towards the edges of the display. on some you can hardly click on UI elements in the corners
>>7864532
mine has two buttons so I use one for right clicking, helpful for UI/menus. second is alt+right click, then you can drag to change brush size/softness in photoshop

>>7864532
I abuse the undo button.

>>7864551
It is kinda annoying, but I guess I can work around it by focusing on a cursor' point instead of pen's

Same. I'm considering upgrading from a 2017 Wacom One but I don't have enough space because I still use the same desk my parents got me when I was like 12, I'd have to also get a new adjustable height desk with one of those fancy robo arms for drawing tablets but... is it really worth it to drop 1k on just the desk setup? Eh.

Professional artist here. I've been using a Huion Kanvas Pro 24(4k) for a few years now, no problems so far. I really like how the pen feels, and both pen tips types feel good imo. I usually use the plastic one for whenever I'm using Zbrush, or painting, and use the other for whenever I'm drawing or sketching.
Would recommend it, better than any of my previous Wacom tablets, but I have never tried the Cintiq, but from what I have seen, I don't think it would be worth the extra money.

OP, this is the Chinese century. Get used to it, faggot.

I have pic rel and it was good on my 1080p monitor, but now Im using 1440p monitor and when I slowly draw I can see wobbles (especially in adobe animate), so I want to buy new tablet.
Small size is cool because I don't have enough space and I don't like to move hand but idk if it does matter? Does tablet size matter more or LPI? Is getting same size tablet with more LPI fix the issue?

>>7865603
Surprisingly, I really enjoy my large intuos pro 3, I believe is the generation. It's a comfort thing, and at first it can be exhausting to move your arm so much. After a while, I got used to moving my shoulder more, while made my lines much more consistent. I was lucky, and I got mine for 50 usd and a compatible pro pen for 30, so 80 usd total, plus a 2 dollar micro USB cable I had lying around. If you can, I'd definitely advice going for the the largest size you can manage, and if that's a medium, then get that.
Also, don't buy a screenless wacom as new. If I were to buy a brand new screenless tablet, and it's not wacom, I would consider buying an XPPEN's Deco Pro Gen 2. In my case, I'd buy the largest option, but you'll probably want the medium, if space is a priority. It's seems really good, and the pen looks very comfortable, which a lot of not-wacom tablets struggle a lot with.
The smallest one is slightly larger than the Wacom One you're using, but I'd try to make space for something bigger. Your wrists will thank you in the long run.

>>7865638
>XPPEN's Deco Pro Gen 2

They are, which is why I bought a used one, but a lot of people online swear by the Deco 2 series, so take it with what you will. Reddit seems to like it, and they are notoriously obnoxious. I'm getting one soon, if that's a consideration, though I'm still saving up for one in my hobby budget.

I use a (then) roughly 400-500 usd intuos pro tablet. It's a workhorse, while every single display tablet I've had has had input lag, no mater the brand. It's like comparison a computer mouse to touchscreens. For me, minimal input lag is everything.

What's your opinion on Wacom One Creative Pen Display (13.3")? Does it have driver issues? I like that you don't have to charge the pen and it's cheaper than cintiq 16, at least where I'm at.

Xp Pen Deco 1 v3 good?

>>7866145
Sure. It seems good enough from what reviews I can see online. The pen looks fine, which is the only thing I really care about. My previous Gaomon tablet had a slim pen, and it was completely shit. The Deco 1 v3 generally seems much better.

>>7865790
>>7865788
The Kanvas Pro 24(4k) display tablet is actually both. If you turn it off and disconnect and reconnect the cable you activate its secret function of acting like a pen tablet instead, to turn it back into a display tablet you only need to press the power button again.
Pretty neat.

someone asked but I need to know too,
wacom intuos small or xp pen deco 1 v3?

>>7866984
The Wacom tablets feel closer to using mice, in terms of latency. I used to own a Bamboo tablet, and I've used a few non Wacom tablets. All other makers of screenless tablets have had a small amount of latency. Not much, but some. I can't speak of newer tablets, though my Gaomon MK10 pro was just plain bad, a relatively new-ish tablet. I'd bet that +100 USD tablets are closer in feel to the general Wacom tablets, but my old used Intuos Pro feels as zippy as ever.
I'm biased, though. I don't like screen tablets, mostly because of latency, even a miniscule amount is unacceptable for me. It feels like I'm guiding the brush using a rubber band or a string and it's trying to catch up, instead of the brush following my 1:1 with my input, if that makes sense. Even on my m1 iPad Air 4, it's unbearable after a while, and my Cintiq 13HD had the same feel. I sold the latter after a week of use.
I'd also go for a medium, but that's notably more expensive. Also, Wacom tablets are much cheaper used, and unless it has large amount of scratches, you won't notice it.

Newfag here; I got a HUION Inspiroy H640P and I'm trying to learn how to use it.
The issue I'm having is whenever I put pressure down to draw something it opens up this circular menu and it's so fucking annoying since I can't make small details without it opening.
Do I need to change the pen tip or something? Do I need to disable a setting or something?

That's the drivers being a bitch. Go the HuionTablet program then find the Software Diagnosis button. Click on both repairs then try again.

>>7867232
That's my only complain with Huion, the drivers sometimes simply stop working, for not reason, and you need to reinstall them.
But other than that, everything is smooth sailing.

It's a problem with Windows, it thinks you're using a touch tablet and trying to right click.
On windows 11 go to Bluetooth and Devices in the settings thing, Pen & Windows Ink, then make sure "Enable press and hold to perform a right-click equivalent" is not checked.

similar setting should exist for win 10 if ur on it

>>7877056
If by goypad you mean ipad, it's alright. Don't fall for the marketing about it being an insane device though. It's good but nothing that doesnt exist on the market elsewhere.
Procreate is really comfy and i find the pencil nice, but you will get skinned alive on accessories unless you manage to find sales on those. Also, why do you want the pro model in particular?

How do I get my ipad pro to stop randomly changing the brightness? I have true tone and night shift disabled but it still randomly dims the screen. I also just lowered the brightness manually and literally watched the bar move itself back up in the settings app.

>>7878059

>>7878081
oh my god thank you anon i use an ipad mini as a left handed person, the camera is placed in a portrait manner as opposed to landscape and presumably brightness sensors being in/near the camera combined with being left handed fucked my shit up until today. i think ipad front cameras being in a landscape orientation is a recent development so if you are left handed like me and your hand covers your camera/left side additional psa

>>7878352

ok for ipad mini 6/7 the sensor is apparently at the top left landscape and top right portrait, criteria being your apple pencil has to be attached at the top (landscape) or right(portrait), visible by a flashlight

>take case off ipad
>suddenly way more comfortable to draw on
It's so much lighter and now there's no annoying ridge around the screen. Might keep it like this and reserve the case for when I take it out of the house.

>>7864031
Is there any pen/drawing tablet that has pen rotation aside from apple stuff?

>>7878727
Only the Wacom Art Pen, but they don't make it anymore.

>>7879116
How is this even possible? Rotation is one of the fundamental properties of any pen, it's like not having tilt.

Question to anyone that has used both a screenless and a screen tablet:
is there any difference in feel? I have a xp pen artist pro 13.3, I've been using it for some time now but it very obviously lacks a feeling at least compared to actually drawing using charcoal or pastel (tilt is also broken and pressure seems unreliable, no matter how much I tweak the curves). Is this better with a screenless tablet? Feel is quite important to me.

>>7865786
they're superior if you can manage to git gud at them which is an uphill climb to put it lightly, need to basically relearn all the major motor movement involved in drawing.
>>7865777
this is the ideal position to be in so don't feel bad about it.

not planning to buy anything but I ended up on the wacom website today, and they now sell a 14inch screen tablet for $300?
god damn kids these days have it good, when I started we had one size of cintiq for $2k and that was it

still can't draw properly with my intuos pro medium... I always end up drawing with my wrist so it's taxing to constantly remind myself to draw with the shoulder

debating if I should try harder to git gud with it or just buy a pen display. I could buy a Kamvas Pro 24 (4K model) at 1000€ or Xp-Pen Artist Pro 22 2nd Gen at 720€.I have the money for the Cintiq 2025 24" (the one at 1400€ without touch) but not sure if it's worth it to get this at double the price of the artist pro 22.
Anyone that has any of these pen displays?

>>7864034
Just spent 135 bux on a used kamvas pro 13 because I was in a shit mood. The cursor thing is the worst problem; at least my shitty old XP-Pen did what I wanted it to do. But for now it's worth it to actually draw instead of wasting more time looking for the prefect tablet. It'll make me appreciate better quality stuff later on :-/

The 4-6 inch tablets are useless, aren't they?
I only have $30 but all the 10" tablets here cost $50 and upwards.
I did measurements on a piece of paper and the 4" and 6" working area sizes seem too small for drawing, especially if I'm going to draw a lot and maybe draw professionally.
What do you guys think?

>>7880491
do NOT get a small tablet man trust me it's worth saving up, it just makes it so much more comfortable. small is just too small and you're going to mainly be drawing with your wrist which will cause problems with stamina/arthritis. you can still draw good shit but you will basically be forced into drawing japanese style with tons of small short strokes

>>7879406
I like it but there's little use for tilt, barrel rotation etc unless you airbrush a lot.

>>7879452
Screenless tablets are less slippery feeling if that's what you're asking. Also you can put some quality soft paper for extra resistance. There's stuff like that for screens but it costs more.

>>7883464
Sorry for the late reply, I forgot I had posted in this thread.
My only other experiences with tablets have been screenless Huions and Wacoms, as well as my current iPad pro. I haven't used samsung tablets, so I cannot say if its as good or not. My main gripe with the one 13 is the awkward size of the active area (its really wide but not that tall). Past that, it is pretty limited in terms of angles due to having a pair of kickstands but no real mounting arm support. You can probably remedy this with aftermarket solutions, but then you're paying even more. If I were to compare it to my ipad, which is not really a fair comparison considering they're completely different devices and with wildly different budget ranges, it's awful. I'd much rather just draw on a screenless again over it desu.

BUT if you're really desperate for a screen display and you dont mind the things I just mentioned, 80 dollars is NOT a bad deal for it considering it retails for hundreds more.

>>7869871
I'll be honest most of those things are kind of a scam, you can just set up a game controller or remote with your most used functions and save money unless you need a 20 knobs.

Are XP Pen tablets REALLY that bad? I bought a DECO01 5 years ago and only now I am thinking of replacing it because I fucked up the connection due to bad care, but the tablet itself works just fine and its very comfortable for me.

are paper like screen protectors even worth using or do they just make everything worse

>>7883829
yeah it doesn't affect drawing for me but it's definitely there

>>7884156
are u sure you own gen2 i thought they get rid of it

>>7884148
I think it depends. If you dislike a slippery surface, they're not bad. Read reviews for the ones you're looking at to see if they affect image quality / damage nibs.
My only experience is using the newer paperlikes on an ipad, and I like them. But apparently in the past they caused nib wear so ymmv.

16 IS TOO SMALL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Can you guys answer me this question.
I have this Intuos Pro I got from my sister, pretty much the only tablet I ever touched. I installed new brushes that are supposed to rotate (in Photoshop).
But how does it work with the pen cause the only way I managed to make the brushes rotate is by tilting/flattening the pen against the tablet. And it's not very intuitive, the rotation feels off and I have to try the same stroke several times to reach the goal.
Is this the normal behavior?

>>7879406
They don't make it anymore because they lost the factory that made parts of it or something, they're working on making a new pen with different components.
>>7884423
Long shot but you might have to enable or disable windows ink at the tablet/OS level or in your software

>>7884423
>>7884556
Also rotation only works with the art pen.

that fucking sucks, was wacom schizo right all along?

just get ipad so you can draw on bed with a headrest, no problems with a back.

Hey, I'm looking at some used tablets in my area. Found an xppen deco gen2 xlw for 100 bucks, would that be a good deal or is the tablet shit? i cant find affordable used wacoms here. looking for screenless btw.

Anyone use the wacom felt/flex/stroke nibs? How do they all feel?

I just bought a Cintiq 16 after using a Surface Pro 7 for years wow I can never go back to that piece of shit ever again

no you didn't

I bought a Deco 01 V2 a while ago and it served me fine. It's got its downsides compared to the Wacom tablets I have, but it also got the job done for whenever I needed to use a tablet.

I'd figure it's about what you need from a tablet, what your price range is, and how well you adapt to the physical layout of your tablet.

Ive been looking for display tablets with specifically etched glass screens for that rough paper feel for sketching, so far the only affordable one I managed to spot is the Cintiq 16 from last year, everything else with etched glass from Wacom cost retarded money and I dont have any hedge fund managers in my family
Any other options from different brands I should know of?

>But pencil is missing
>Apparently all the compatible replacements are out of stock by now
For a hot minute i tought i could avoid buying a new one

Read that as 10yo sister for a second then got disappointed.

Hi anons, i have a wacom Intuos and i want to start some projects drawing "normal stuff", drawing pixels and animating...i don't have to be a great artist to achieve my goals
Is krita and gimp a good choice?

>>7889822
krita is good but you could also just buy the cheap version of clip studio paint for 15 bucks and save headaches, also you will run into random mildly annoying issues with krita maybe because it's FOSS
>gimp
absolutely not

Not him, but fuck, i've been using that lately. What is wrong with it and what is a good alternative?

>>7890220
If you're open-source minded, not a whole lot, besides Krita. If not, then check out the Affinity suite. It's closer to Photoshop in feel, but it's pretty decent. The brush engine for drawing, though, is not the most advanced, but it's serviceable.

Sup, ive an intuos3 a4, i need something bigger for my 4k monitor. Is there any benefit to buy a newer model? Intuos 4 or 5?
There much less to choose from right now on the second hand market than it used to. SO im not sure if i should go for a newer model or just choose any model thats in a good condition.

I use a lenovo m11, bought it for note making and studying but it up drawing , u can use it as drawing tab with ur pc or laptop with virtual tablet lite app , u have to setup using reddit or yt, always use usb feature to connect , wifi connection isnt worthit , overall I can say it's the best of beginners

Hmm thanks anon

I’ve been having trouble with how vivid my cintiq is.

I’m told the colour is the most accurate, but on other screens and in print the art always ends up looking so much worse. I really don’t know how to change my workflow knowing this.

You have to buy a 300$ colorimeter and recalibrate your screen

>>7891221
change it to sRGB mode
