Got the Huion H610 Pro recently, great reviews and tried it myself before buying.

Tablet itself is great, but after installing the drivers and charging the pen for well over an hour, the pen still won't work on the tablet unless it's plugged in. Not a common issue from what I've researched. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from their website, but no luck.

Anyone else had issues with this model?

Drawing from the shoulder on a tablet that small is a complete waste of time, and fucking idiotic. Drawing from the shoulder is for painting large pieces on canvas, or drawing on large paper. For smaller work, you draw from the elbow, and the wrist.
If you have carpal tunnel, see a fucking doctor, that shit won't go away on it's own, or buying a different table. IF it's carpal tunnel.

I recently bought an intuos pro small to use on win10 (forced to upgrade from my beloved graphire 4 CTE-640 which was serving me well on Win7) and found the bare drawing face very uncomfortable to use. I don't like the feeling of it at all.
I found out the medium and large size models have texture sheets available for them, but not the small.

Does anyone think buying a medium sheet to macgyver it onto the small model would be fine?
I don't use the buttons or the ring so if those got covered I won't really care.

At the moment I have taped a large ziploc bag over the tablet which is nice and smooth and feels so much nicer, but, it's a fuckin ziploc bag.

Those sheets are super overpriced. Theoretically, if the holes fit over the buttons, the rest could be cut into the right measurements. But no idea really.

I fucking hate Wacom for becoming such incredible Jews. I still use my Intuos2 from almost 15 years ago with the same stock nib it came with. (!!!) And it works great. Forward to today and they sell cheaply produced, flimsy iterations for which you NEED to buy an extra smooth sheet and even then the nibs disintegrate like a wet cookie + all the horror stories with their drivers I hear all the time.

If the surface is too smooth, sand it. It's just plastic. Tape off the drawing area, and start with a really smooth grit, and work your way courser until it feels right. I did the opposite to my old pad, it got scratched and worn from years of use, so i resanded it flat and got the scratches out. I think I stopped at 200 grit, as I liked that surface.
That, or just buy a film protector for an iPad/tablet, that's larger than the drawing size, and cut it down. They also sell sheets of film with adhesive, for other applications. It's like window tint film, but clear, and a lot thinner.

I don't disagree about them being overpriced, but in the end $30 isn't going to dent my wallet.
My graphire 4 came with a hard, super smooth plastic shell that I drew on top of. I never changed my stock nib pen either, it never wore down. It was great. So the smoother the smooth sheet is, the better.
But yeah I was thinking about other solutions, but I wasn't sure if film protectors would be good because they're so much thinner. I wouldn't want my pen to accidentally grind a tear into it or something.
Hmm... thank you for responding though!

Not planning to do any serious work on it, I already have a graphics tablet at home, I just need to get some basic illustrations done at school and the like. Not really up for the task of getting a Cintiq or the like just yet.
I have about $700 CAD to play with, don't mind going into the used or Chinese market.

Gonna be using Photoshop CC and illustrator CC, maybe Lightroom in the future, so no shitty Atom or Celeron CPU's.

I got a Wacom feel (not sure if that's the correct name) compatible tablet (penable). Cube Mix Plus. I use it with a Samsung note pen, but it's very in-accurate and every calibration makes it even worse. Is there any solution or a download-able calibration to reset things to factory defaults or any other solution? Neither samsung or wacom devices are supported in my country so I'd like to avoid buying a new pen if that's possible.

There's a literal almost 1cm wide dead zone near its borders; 1cm away from borders the pointer is already so much away from the pens tip.

I'm not sure but I think it's called "offset";
The biggest issue is that its somewhat random even if it's on spot near the center, but around the with of start menu from the edges it's almost 1cm.

I'd really would like to reset to the factory calibration it was much better.

You can find them as cheap as 270€ and the Youtube reviews seem to be alright. I don't think there is anything else like it for the price.

Honestly I just can't get my head around drawing on a pad without a display. Plus, analog is still my favourite method, I just want something to try out and experiment with colors and pretend to paint with cause I can't actually afford paints.

It took me a few days to learn how to use a graphics tablet. After that, it became second nature. I think you should give the pad another chance. Like with any other skill, learning the hand-eye coordination with a tablet takes time. I personally have a "Huion New 1060 Plus" (Yes that really is the model name).

As for the 1910B tablet monitor. I convinced one of my college professors to buy this exact model at full price and he's been very satisfied. He puts onionskin on it to make it feel more natural while drawing his comics. If it means anything, he's a Mac user in his 60's. Just remember to download the drivers directly from their website. And that the 1910B doesn't use DisplayPort or HDMI.

Yes, the Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch, although I think this one is the large as I have the small one of this exact model.

Got an older model intuos pro medium. Noticed the new ones are like 50-100 euros more expensive, what gives?

Is a tablet with screen a must have if you're serious about drawing digital? It feels like it to me because I've owned a normal tablet for quite a while but I still can't get good results from it. And overall it seems like a waste of time, having to adapt to a screenless tablet when you could just get one with a screen and get started right away

A lot of people in /ic/ recommend it but outside of this board everyone seems to prefer screened tablets like it's obvious and logical. I don't get ic personally.

The main benefit of a nonscreen tablet is unobstructed vision and proper posture. Even if you have an easel, a monitor at eye level causes much less posture strain (especially if you're "serious" about drawing, meaning you're sitting there for 6-8 hours a day). The main drawback is it takes longer to get used to, and some retards never get the hang of it.

I once brought a new monitor which turned out to be of a different ratio than the tablet itself during the 4:3 to 16:9 shift. What's to say it wouldn't happen again? I went back to paper after my tablet broke then every thing I drew felt bloated as hell. Took time to unlearn that bad habit.

Had an intuos 3 who broke on me after 1 year, wacom's support isn't the best either so I wouldn't count on them that much. Eating their shit up isn't going to solve their atrocious support. With the amount of competition wacom received the last few years, it wouldn't be surprising if affordable display tablets were to come. The technology plateaued already, but the price haven't due to the lack of competition. A lower floor is always welcome for the healthy customers. I for one welcome our new overlords.

I have an wacom Intuos CTL-490 and keep getting the dreaded "tablet driver is not responding" problem.
I googled a fix for it and found the "restart the wacom services" solution.
It worked...until recently.
Now the driver is not detected at all unless I completely uninstall and reinstall the driver. And it always suddenly becomes not found eventually anyways.
How do I permanently fix this? Just buy a different tablet not from wacom?

Anon, buy your self some crafts carboard! The thinnest you can find of the kind that has one kind of shiny white surface and one slightly more paper-feeling surface on the other side. Cut them up to the size of the tablets active area and use masking tape to tape it to the tablet with the most matte/papery side up (leave the bottom edge of the cardboard un-taped, so the paper can expand in that direction if it needs to cause of humidity changes in the air... or hand sweat)

I've tried many different papers and cardboards and this cheap crafts paper is the best stuff. Good surface that's not so gritty it will wear your nibs down fast and thick enough to not expand and "bubble" from the sweat of your hand. You need to change it now and then, but it's so cheap it's not an issue.

they put a texture or smth and the nib wears off really fast
i recommend you to use a skin protector , that way the tablet will work and the nib won't wear off that fast.
You can replace the nibs with thick wire so you don't have to buy new ones. Search on google.

I bought one from gear best, it was my first screened tablet. But for whatever reason, there was jitter in the lines that I would draw, in some cases it was really bad. I could not fix it and I even got some people who own tablets like it (though not the same make or model) and they couldn't figure it out either.
I sent it back and managed to get a full refund after the return period was over and decided not to test my luck and just learn a simple $100 tablet.

If it helps, a few designers at my college would tape paper to the tablet to get a paper feeling.

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but it depends on what you mean by "large" and it depends on what you mean by "computer". How large? By computer do you mean having parity with a desktop or laptop or just being a standalone device? By tablet do you mean something like an ipad or a 2-in-1?

as someone who started off using a intuos then moving to off brand on screen tablet , using an on screen tablet is a world of difference.

Using a on screen tablet with parallax is like using a pencil with a bent tip, annoying but perfectly usable once you get used to it. Using an intuos feels like your drawing with a piece of soap compared to it.

That said some people like intuos tablets better than cintiqs , I don't understand these people but they exist.

If you´re willing to take the risk of getting broke stuff, then I would advice you to look for used Wacom tablets on eBay. For example: You can get an Intuos3 in good condition for around 30 euros and sometimes even cheaper in an auction.

If it has to be something new and you can wait a bit, try to look at rice-sites like Fasttech or Gearbest and look for their Huions and Ugees and whatever else stuff. Be sure to look at reviews somewhere else first before ordering and never trust the reviews on the shopping sites.

If it has to be new and a bit quicker, order what you found on the chink pages on eBay or Amazon. Maybe 10-20 bucks more then, but faster at your home.

Anyway, try to get an used Wacom, if possible, try it before buying. They´re nearly indestructible and if a bit newer, they´ll get supported softwarewise.

Fucked that up, meant to write product design, which is what I do.
That includes Solidworks, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, illustrator and sometimes Photoshop, so I figured a tablet would help. I sketch a lot, and I like designing with ink and paper before 3D modeling stuff, I'm hoping digital sketching will become a part of my design method/enriches it, figured a pen like interface will feel more natural to me.

I've never used a tablet before in my life and have always relied on traditional media, but I've come to a point where I'm starting to realise that there are simply some things I can't accomplish in traditional mediums as well as you can with digital.

Does anybody happen to have any recommendations for a decent tablet within the price range of £119 (which I think is about $155?)?

I also wanted to ask, what are the primary components/aspects of a tablet I should be looking for when searching? Like, is there a kind of "must have" or "highly recommended" specs/addons? I saw that something come with digital erasers on the bottom of the pen which sounds neat, but idk if that's considered a meme tool or not.

Picture unrelated.

Pressure is massively overrated.

You're probably using a brush that's less than 100px, so the difference between two pressure levels on a 2048 tablet is in the decimals.

Pressure sensitivity is a very "diminishing returns" kind of spec, where anything above 512 barely makes a difference.

I just got one of those, definitely the line width control is much better, it's more noticeable when you're an illustrator who uses line variation. But I don't think it's due to the levels, I feel that it's because the tip retracts more than the previous ones, it gets in almost completely inside if you push hard, this gives a much more controllable range of pressure than the hard tips of past pen models.

Cintiqs are usually the most reliable. You can try a microsoft surface book but they fall apart at the seams after a while. Yiynova also has a MSP19U that is similar to a cintiq, cheaper, some people like it others don't. Ugee 2150 comes to mind as well, probably better than a yiynova but again still not as reliable as wacom.

If you're looking for one with a screen it will run you anywhere from $300 to $2500, easy. If you are very tech savvy you can make your own cintiq, I believe there's an instructable for that if you google for it.

Honestly because of your budget you should probably get a regular tablet, wacom intuos pro medium is what I have, they're solid and last a long time. If you can't afford it online you can look on facebook tablet selling pages, craigslist or ebay and see if anyone is selling theirs for cheap.

yeah but your're missing the point here. its not the monitors thats gonna barely do anything for you. like pic related your ears are too high, the eye socket is wrong especially with the direction of the eye brow it looks like she has a dent on her face. the lips are too low , ect ect i mean what even is that hair brah

to me it looks like u dont understand the first few things about digital painting, because for one you're painting with a brush you have no idea how to use. you need a basic opacity on pressure(no flow) with 8% spacing and a manual brush(no pen pressure) with possible 50% opacity, that way you can control your edges. get your basics first before you start worrying about equipment

the only way youre gonna use flow correctly like youre trying to on ur drawing is by know how to control it correctly like ruan jia does. look at how meaningful his brush strokes are

pic related is a really old piece but he knows what he is doing.

i think the stuff you're talking about is too advanced for me. i have no idea what most of the things you said mean. im just a beginner that started learning in july and i didn't do ctrl paint or any digital tutorials yet. those two were the only things i painted longer than an hour.
progress here:
https://gs95.tumblr.com/

i just want a bigger tablet so i can actually draw comfortably, and i need a second monitor anyway if i want to do studies and stuff. i think a display tablet would be good in that case since it could solve both my problems. i know another beginner has the huion display one, so maybe i'll get that or something.

The guy you're talking to is an asshole and you're probably way better than him desu.

You do need to learn more about edge control and digital brushes, I'd recommend watching videos of artists you like and want to learn from, and focus on what brushes they're using and why. It's just a matter of time before you grasp much of it.

Monitors will definitely have an effect on things as well, especially when it comes to color and chroma. The saturation on my display tablet is higher than my monitor, no matter how much fiddling I do with the settings, so I end up doing most of the sketching and layout on the tablet. Then combine the screens and paint while looking at the monitor.

As far as tablets in general go, I'd say having a good size is most important. Small tablets like the bamboo are absolutely awful for your wrist and for solid brushwork and lines. Wacom will have the most reliable and quality stuff albeit a much higher price, whereas some of the Chinese brands are generally pretty good when they work but sometimes you run into trouble with software and drivers, and just all around a lower reliability.

Protip: Get a screen protector for a touch screen, put it on the active area, and voila. Problem solved. Nibs don't wear down as quickly and if you ever scratch into the screen protector from hamfisted drawing, you can just change it out.

The most important thing is that it is for a touch screen, though. Other screen protectors will mess with your pen pressure and accuracy sometimes.

That makes total sense, I had the same issue with seeing values on my last laptop (the contrast ratio was atrocious, black showed as a mid-grey on that thing) but since I already had a tablet I just got an IPS monitor that was on sale. Black friday is coming up, keep an eye out on amazon if you're going for a new monitor.

>>3194512
I don't know of any tablet stores where they let you try them out. I'd suggest staying away from best buy if you can, they're very overpriced. If you find someone to buy from in person, they should be willing to let you try a tablet out and see if you like it before you buy it from them.

I understand the pain in the ass a bamboo fun is. You probably want something similar to wacom's medium sized intuos pro tablets, or one of the knock-off cintiqs that actually works. Those should be around the same price anyways.

A lot of people have been reporting that their Surface Pros are falling apart at the seams, coming unglued, and are FUBAR after about a year or two. If you want something that will last you a long time, that's probably not the best option. Also if you work on big canvases make sure you get the i7 version because it will fucking lag.

Wacom Mobile Studio Pro is at least better than the surface in terms of durability, but battery life sucks (you will be stuck near an outlet anyways for long drawing sessions) and it's expensive as fuck.

I haven't heard anything about the HP zBook X2 yet.

Other options to research could be: Galaxy Tab, Ipad Pro (with Apple Pencil), Lenovo Yoga 14

It is a bad idea to start with digital, since digital art mimics traditional. You need to train your hand-eye coordination, muscle memory, and pressure control with pencil and paper first. Drawing digitally just exacerbates beginner issues like focusing too hard on rendering one small area instead of the entire picture progressing at once, and can reinforce bad habits like scratchy/bad draftsmanship.

Please actually heed this advice and learn with traditional first before you jump into digital...

guy who posted the blog and portraits here, i started out with pencil on paper and did a bunch of portraits traditionally first and some still life after. moving to digital after that felt kinda weird but the results are alright considering. line grinding and that kind of stuff is probably best done traditionally. messing around in digital is a lot of fun though, so i think it's ok to own a tablet as a beginner. just don't neglect to study what you're weak on and stuff.

I don't know of any tablet that is decent or that I'd even feel comfortable recommending in that price range.

Things to look for in a tablet:

>Pressure Sensitivity
Pressure level refers to the sensitivity to pressure on the surface of the tablet. Most tablets have either 256, 512, or 1024 pressure levels. The pressure-sensitivity can control line thickness, transparency, and/or color.

512 levels is just fine for most, but I find myself most comfortable with 2048 levels of pen pressure for some reason. I am personally very light-handed, so 512 just felt like I was being forced to push too hard on the surface and I didn't like it. Anything higher just feels the same though so don't think that just because it's ultra sensitive it's automatically better.

>Active Area Size
The active area is the part of the tablet that you'll be drawing on with the stylus. I'm going to use wacom tablet sizes for reference as that's what I'm familiar with.

Small size tends to be very restrictive and are a pain in the ass especially if you are a traditional artist used to moving more with your shoulder and elbow. It forces you to draw small and move your wrist too much, and can lead to carpal tunnel. Some people like them, though.

Medium seems to be the average that people go for. It's usually around the size of a piece of paper, so you have the room to maneuver with your shoulder and elbow, and they don't take up too much desk space.

Large to extra large... It's alright if you are used to working on huge pads of paper or canvases, but most people find that these take up way too much desk space, and that they really only use a small portion of the tablet in the first place. However if you like to sling your arm around like a madman and have a big 4k screen to work on, go for it.

>Interface
How does the tablet connect to your computer?
Is it a USB cable? Is it hard-wired in to the tablet or does it have ports for a cable? How sturdy are they? Do you want wireless?

>Drivers
Make sure that the drivers are going to work with your computer, and that they are updated regularly. This is going to be a main issue with any kind of off-brand tablets. If they haven't updated their drivers in a long time then don't trust it.

>Responsiveness
How responsive is the tablet? Is there a slight lag behind where you're drawing or is the cursor moving precisely wih your stylus? This will happen with any wireless models, so be aware of that. Some people get used to it, others hate it. Wired models are less likely to have that issue. Some knock-off brands are wired but are still laggy so look into them as much as you can if that's what you're aiming for.

>Stylus
Wacom has a patent on battery-free styluses with eraser. They are light and responsive, and never require charging. Other tablets may have a battery inside the stylus which adds weight to it and must be changed out when it dies. Some have a rechargable stylus, but watch out for these as they can die on you and fail to recharge after a while if it's poorly made. Try to find a stylus that is ergonomically made or you can alternatively put a pencil grip on it if it doesn't feel right.

>Tilt/Rotation
Wacom tablets are the only ones I know of that can detect this (again they hold the patent), but in photoshop there are brushes that change with the way you tilt or rotate the stylus. This means you can use a brush that mimics a stick of charcoal or paint brush and draw on the tip or the side, as well as rotate it without having to fuck with the brush menu in photoshop. Most people don't use it, it's really not necessary but can be a nice feature if you find yourself wanting to draw that way.

>Programmable Features
Some tablets will give you the ability to customize the two side buttons on the pen, as well as any shortcut keys on the tablet itself if present. It's up to you whether these are a necessity or not. You can always use a gaming mini keyboard for the same purpose.

ok, you keep going in circles bud. if you want to come up with a good rebuttal you need to tell me exactly why having a small tablet and 1 monitor is not preferable to a bigger tablet and 2 monitors.

a small tablet is the best way to start digital drawing why? because it weeds out the ones who have potential and those who just want to fail. it starts with how you control your pressure of not your pen, but your wrist.with such a small space you are forced to control your wrist for fine lines, stabilizers are shit. keep it =< 3 this is the part that takes the most to train. because youre developing muscles. if you start with a bigger tablet you have no define space and too big a canvas that you are forced to draw with your entire arm practically. line control doesnt come from that, it comes from wrists. ultimately it shows how you take care of your tablet with your nibs, if you go thru even one nib in a year, youre doing some wrong. chill the fuck out and apply reasonable pressure, learn control.

as for one monitor, it keeps you in check. if you need two to do work, then your more than likely going to procrastinate, "ill just play a game on this second monitor while i draw" definetely being productive. focus on one thing, and YOU WILL PROGRESS.

Not that anon. I have two monitors and work just fine, however that's because I was trained in an atelier and am used to looking at the reference next to or in front of me, rather than on the same screen. Having all your reference on a second monitor also gives you your entire first screen for your canvas, which is great.

But then again, when I work I sit down and work until time's up. If you're prone to fucking around and procrastinating, or never use reference (or a whole monitor full of reference) then stick to one monitor until you learn some self control and discipline.

27QHD review from yaboy

Now I can say that I've used pretty much everything worth using so I can be 100% sure-and I can pass that on to you. This is the Cintiq 27QHD. I set up earlier this morning and I've been using it all day since. So it's no longer about what I think, but what I know about how it is to work directly on the screen, from the very worst models to the very best-I've seen things you moulinyans wouldn't believe.

In the past I'd suggested that perhaps a Cintiq was worthwhile at the highest levels, but I'm here to tell you that I was mostly wrong.

First off I'm having a wonderful time with the drivers. Typically I use Photoshop CS 5, but almost immediately I received the same errors I had with the Cintiq 12WX (pretty impressive considering it was separated by 3 or 4 computer upgrades and at least 2 operating systems): random pressure sensitivity spikes. Chalking it up to outdated software I went to Adobe's page and downloaded CC instead thinking that would solve the issue, but that wasn't happening. Using Photoshop CC the sensitivity was jacked no matter what settings I had enabled or what brush I was using (even the aptly-named "Hard Round Pressure Size") brush. I would get no sensitivity feedback at all.

(1/2)

Okay, so eventually I moved on to ToonBoom where I'll be doing most of my work anyways, it wouldn't be fair for me to write it off on driver issues alone. Thankfully there was no pressure sensitivity problem, but in the end having worked with it a bit the fact is there's no mystique about drawing on a screen and you should stop entertaining the idea that there is. Apart from losing the ergonomic comfort of the traditional tablet one way or another, because of the need for calibration and the distance between the glass shell and the touchscreen itself you are actually less accurate than you'd be otherwise, and yes, not having your hand obscuring what you draw is nice regardless of how it works with traditional media.

>the "Good"

If you lay it flat on your desk it is accurate and more comfortable for your arm than it is if you leave it vertical like you're doing some Sight-Size shit at an Atelier or whatever, but your neck won't be too happy with you after a while. It is kind of cool to be right up in whatever you're working on's ass just like you were drawing on traditional media, but it's not the revolutionary way to work that some (Wacom especially) would have you believe, especially when it's burning your eyes out of their sockets.

By the way, erasers at the back of the pen aren't necessary, most people don't even use them. Just switch between eraser and pen with your keyboard shortcuts, tablet buttons, or pen buttons. The pen nib is more accurate than the eraser ends anyways. So, not a meme tool but definitely not 100% necessary.

(not sure where the fuck that picture for ants came from but w/e)

Verdict:

Something like this won't make you draw faster
Something like this won't make you draw better
Something like this definitely won't make drawing for an extended period of time more comfortable
Something like this isn't worth having, and neither are any of the smaller models, or the Huion/Monoprice/etc. knock offs. Period.

This tablet's distinguishing features are that it's a big ass monitor, and that it's better than a Bamboo or something like that. That's it. Save your money. Upgrade your computer. Buy a second or third monitor. Whatever you do don't buy this, and don't buy anything like it excluding perhaps the Mobile Studio or an Ipad with the Apple Pencil.

Get an Intuos Large, get a Huion Giano, or get fucked one way or another. It's as simple as that. With the Medium-sized tablets and lower you're wasting your time, with the screen tablets you're wasting your money.

I'm here to tell you once and for all, conclusively, that you will never buy your way out of not being able to draw, so stop falling for the marketing bullshit or the people that don't know any better because there's a hell of a lot of them. Probably 95+% of the people on the closed review sites either aren't artists at all or aren't very experienced ones-and even if they are they probably haven't done what I've done as far as this kind of research goes.

Almost. Depending on the tablet and the angle you are viewing at, as well as how it's calibrated, there will always be some distance between the screen and the glass drawing surface. That means your cursor on the screen and stylus will be offset slightly. This takes some getting used to, and depending on the model of tablet (and how thick the glass is, how well the drivers play with your computer) can be ignored for the most part or will drive you absolutely insane.

Aside from that yes it feels about the same as drawing traditionally. There is not the total feeling of disconnect and re-training of hand-eye coordination that comes with tablets without screens.

Wacom did a name-change with the brands, so an Intuos is now the equivalent of a Bamboo, and Intuos Pro is the new name for the Intuos line.

So the new Intuos tablets are going to not have shortcut buttons (or not have very many), they are smaller, and have less pressure sensitivity. Generally they're your basic beginners tablets, I guess. Intuos pro has all the bells and whistles and whatnot - higher pressure sensitivity, bigger size, shortcut buttons and dials, wireless, capacative touch screen, etc.

Not him but it's not entirely uncommon to use a relatively small portion of it. Personally I draw from the shoulder more often than not so I do make pretty good use of a good portion of the surface area. However, the accuracy of the larger tablets comes from the space that's there, not the space you use. With any tablet like that you're compressing your monitor's screen onto your tablet's drawing surface, so relative size is paramount. You might use most of the drawing surface of your Medium but it will still feel quite slippery and often require many "restatements" to get an accurate line depending on how large your monitor is in relation to it.

If you're using a Medium in conjunction with something like a Microsoft Surface or something else with like a 10-12 inch screen it's actually pretty pleasant and fairly comparable to what you get with a Large on a screen that's between 15-20 inches.

To the anons that have non-Wacom tablets:

What model tablet do you have and how long have you used it for? Is it unusable, acceptable, or stellar, and why? Have any parts of your tablet broken yet, or is it still in one piece?

I have a hard time trusting the reviews I'm seeing, they seem like shills or people who review the tablet after an hour of using it, and never update when they have a major issue. So any experiences you've had are appreciated.

Get the Huion Giano. Huion's drivers are no more troublesome than Wacom's are, in my experience. See: My review above of a $2000 Wacom Cintiq with a $500 ergo-stand.

This <$200 tablet is nearly as good as my $400~ Intuos Large. I'd still say the extra money is worth it for the Large if you can hoof it, though.

Seeing as it hasn't been out a year I don't think guess I'm not sure. I haven't had any problems though. The surface feels identical to the Wacom Intuos 3 surface which is, in my opinion, great. The only shortcoming of the Giano in my experience is the stylus which has marginally worse pressure sensitivity than its Wacom equivalents, no eraser, can't have a button and pen input at the same time and needs to be charged from time to time. All forgivable flaws if you really don't want to spend an extra couple hundred dollars, but I personally think the extra cost for the Intuos Large is worth it, begrudgingly.

OH one thing I do remember is that my Giano got fucked up by being left out in the cold; bubbles had formed on its drawing surface. However with exposure to room temperature for a while they disappeared and it continued to function as normal.

One problem I had heard was people having stylus pens with bad batteries. While I think if you buy one and have that problem they'd probably send you a new one for free, luckily they're only $20 so it's not a huge loss in either case, unlike the Wacom stylus which I think is 70 or 80.

I don't think one exists that's better than mine to be honest. This $50 Ikea table makes an awesome desk, and its adjustable feet are pretty much essential in case your floors are a little uneven (I wouldn't use a folding table or something like that). I've got a stand so the top of my monitor is about eye level and a little folded towel I can rest my elbow on.

>>3195004
I had a hard time finding one on the QHD. I tried it completely vertical atelier-style, angled and flat like those shown in the pic. Laying it flat was by far the most accurate because your arm and elbow aren't working against gravity-but you won't be comfortable doing that either because of your neck.

Because of the parallax between the glass protector screen and the actual monitor you really have to get directly over your drawing and right up in its corn hole to see what you're doing. When you get there it's kind of cool but it's also uncomfortable as hell. It's actually not as similar to drawing on paper as I'd have thought previously from the outside. When drawing in pencil I can maintain a pretty high angle with my shoulders and just kind of look downwards and still draw fairly well. I didn't feel I could do that with the Cintiq because there's like a solid centimeter's difference between your pen and the drawing surface when you look at it from anywhere other than straight on.

Do Huion drivers play nice with Mac? I recently got a New 1060 and it works fine on my Win7 desktop but the input is terrible. It goes to 100% intensity every few inches and registers the brush much after I've picked it off the tablet. I've downloaded the newest drivers, installed and reinstalled the drivers, removed old Wacom drivers, and still can't get it to work how it does on my desktop.

I've done exactly as Wacom suggested on their start page.

It didn't recognize it at all, didn't work as a mouse or anything.

I tried it out with a different computer and the tablet worked fine.

I decided to remove all the drives, everything related to the tablet, and then ran through Windows Updates.

After Windows updated enough times, I tried again and the tablet works fine now.

Thought I'd post that in case anyone else has any problems with Wacom Intuos Pro. My problem stems from skipping out on Windows Upate one too many times.

Any of you have any experience with Wacom Cintiq Pro 13? I recently bought one and I can't get it to display anything. Otherwise it works fine and recognizes the pen and touch, Only NO SIGNAL box hovers on the screen.
This is a first drawing tablet for me and I just afterwards discovered the bad reputation it has with connection and cable difficulties.
I of course updated my drivers (Nvidia GTX950) and any drivers and updates what the Cintiq itself needed.

So I think the issue for me is this new USB-C and mini DisplayPort what the Cintiq Pro has. I have never encountered these two until now.
My PC is somewhere from 2015 so it doesn't have either of these ports, only HDMI (2x) and regular DisplayPort (3x).
These USB-C and mini DisplayPorts are something what Macs use?

First I got my hands on mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable but surprisingly it didn't have any effect. Still my PC couldn't recognize the Cintiq as second screen.
After this I discovered that there are special manufacturers whose products are compatible with Pro 13 (and recommended by Wacom) but I thought that it can't be that retarded. Does it really count that much who made the damn cable?

After that I tried USB-c to USB cable but it didn't work either. I figured as much since it was something designed for mobile phones but why not.
Last thing I had was Mini DisplayPort to HDMI converter which I hooked from Wacom Link to the PC via HDMI cable. No luck.

Only now I went through every nook of the interned related to this thing and it seems many other customer has similar kind of issues, although I didn't find any universal solution to these problems.
Lastly I ordered DisplayPort to mini DisplayPort converter (what was recommended in some Youtube video) and that can be the final push I am willing to do. If that doesn't work, I will send the fucker back to depths of hell where it came from.

Thanks for reading.

You posted the same thing yesterday, told you those adapters are shit and the tablet is kinda fucked by Wacom's stupid choices. Good luck with your new adapter, there's not much you could do in that situation - Wacom aren't willing to help much for people who carelessly buy their products without checking connections beforehand (this is also mentioned over and over in Amazon reviews as well). I still don't understand how you bought something so expensive without checking the most basic things first.

If it doesn't work I recommend you get the older models, again. They will work perfectly - they only need HDMI + USB.

If it's anything in comparison to the difference between the regular Wacom and Huion tablets it would be that the stylus for the Huion is worse when it comes to both its overall feel and pressure sensitivity recognition.

Is the difference in the stylus worth considering when comparing the $160 Giano vs a <$400 Intuos Large? Maybe. Is it worth spending an extra $1200 or whatever between a QHD and Huion's display tablet offerings? Probably not, but I don't think display tablets are worth investing in regardless so I'll leave that to someone else's discretion while I throw this 27 QHD in the garbage where it belongs lmoa

Don't take their advertised pressure levels too seriously. In realistic terms you can only make consistent use of around a dozen. As an example the Huion Giano has the same number of pressure levels as an Intuos Pro (2048) but it feels completely different to draw with-worse I might add-the Huion reaching its peak pressure with a fairly light touch. Perhaps their newer models have better pens though, hell if I know.

Drawing from the shoulder, on a tablet? Is this fucking meme still a thing?

Drawing from the shoulder is ONE way to draw, not the only way. Drawing from the shoulder is only applicable for large drawing/painting surfaces. Drawing from the elbow and wrist is fine for smaller areas. And, before some neckbeard starts mooing about carpal tunnel, I've been painting from the wrist longer than most of you have been alive, and I have no issues whatsoever.

You pick an appropriate method of drawing, determined by what you're working on. Drawing detail is from the wrist. Drawing long flowing lines and filling large canvases is from the shoulder. You don't paint a wall from the wrist, and you don't write a sentence from the shoulder.

I've been having constant issues with my Ugee 1910b ever since I got it over a year ago, to the point where I've hardly used it and it's basically just a 400$ secondary monitor.

Constantly after a restart the tablet settings won't show up in the system tray, which also means the pen isn't detected on the tablet. There's no shortcut anywhere, opening PLaunch.exe from the tablet folder in program files (x86) does nothing- even if I try "run as administrator"- same with WTClient from both System32 and SysWOW64. Wintab Service is running according to my settings under administrative tools. According to Ugee’s troubleshooting page everything is working, but clearly it’s not (yes, the pens are charged).

It works after uninstalling the driver, deleting wintab.dll, and reinstalling the driver (I do have the latest version from the Ugee site), but then the process repeats after a couple more restarts or waking my computer from Sleep mode. If this can’t be fixed, I’m fine with the constant uninstall -> reinstall process, but then there’s another issue.

Almost every time I reinstall the driver, there's new pen issues. It was working fine last month, but after a restart whenever I brought the pen to the screen the cursor would always go to the far edge and move horizontally but not vertically. I repeated the process of wiping everything and getting the latest driver update, and now the X Y offset is off. I’ve messed around in the Pen Tablet controls’ Monitor Setting and my monitor Display Settings and tried multiple options. So far the only thing that seems to work is restarting my computer with only the tablet monitor connected and keeping it that way until I’m done drawing. As you can see in the picture, the X and Y offset doesn’t match the monitor dimensions, but I can’t click the arrows to manually change that.

So any help on either of these issues would be appreciated. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 64bit.

When you look at all of the great art that couldn't have been made with anything greater than 2048 or even 1024 pressure levels what do you think?

the Intuos 3 imho is the best tablet Wacom ever made and it had a limit of 1024 pressure levels. It's an arbitrary number and marketing gimmick that doesn't reflect the reality of our own limitations to consciously apply pressure.

I love my Surface Pro 2 for everything other than drawing, but the parallax on the Wacom Feel pen is really, really bad. I tried SP3s and 4s in store and thought they were alright- the pen uses a different technology with much reduced parallax.

Bought a refurbished old model Intuos Pen and Touch recently. Anyone else have it? What's your experience? I miss my Intuos 3 ;~;

I have a galaxy tab a 10.1 right now but I'm thinking of switching to an iPad pro 10.5 with pencil. The thing is I want to be able to use the iPad as a graphics tablet for my desktop as well. I don't have a Mac so astropad isn't an option for me and I read that duet pro still has some tapering/wobble issues with windows. Should I upgrade from the tab a or just keep rocking it and save for a graphics tablet for the desktop?

Take it with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity meant something completely different today then it did back then. I honestly don't remember there being a functional difference between the Intuos 3 stylus and the 2048 level stylii that came later as far as drawing is concerned, but I have heard others in threads like these imply that the more recent Bamboo/Intuos models with 1024 have relatively inconsistent pressure when I'd brought up similar problems I'd had with the 2048 Huion. Without having the two tablets right next to one another I couldn't say for sure though.

>>3199730
This $2500 Wacom paperweight sitting on the ground to my right might have good "build quality" but it also failed to register pressure sensitivity correctly across two generations of photoshop with several driver reinstalls-and arrived without its colors calibrated in order to coerce people into buying an expensive ass hardware accessory. At this point I'm not sure if I should resell it or wait for another driver release and try again. Either way I don't really trust Wacom and their build quality worth a damn at this point personally. It seems like they were better when they maintained a veritable monopoly than now when their competition is bringing itself up.

I haven't drawn in years
I used to use an Intuos 3, now I have a Huion Giano, I was always let's say "advanced beginner" but I got used to the tablet pretty well
Is it a good idea ease myself back in by going back to the Intuos? Or should I just go for the new one?

>>3199879
If you already have the Giano it should be adequate, frankly you're better off than most of the people in this thread. There isn't much setting the Intuos 3 apart (even the surface feel is similar) other than the pressure sensitivity which despite the lower number of "pressure levels" remains an x-factor.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 9 04:43:10 2017 No.3199931 >>3199930 >There isn't much setting the Intuos 3 apart it's much, much smaller.

>>3199931
Nah man. The 3 came in several different models, and the 9 x 12 version is roughly the same size as its contemporaries in the Large category, maybe an inch smaller than the Giano in either direction. I'm tempted to buy one once I sell the 27QHD to see how it stacks up to newer Intuos and the Giano. I suspect it might be just as good or better than either. Everything apart from the supposed pressure levels are essentially identical.

Man fuck that thing, get a used Intuos Large n*gga.

There's no such thing as a "beginner" tablet or a "first" tablet or whatever-there's only screwing yourself over long term to save an inconsequential amount of money. Even if you bought one of Wacom's latest models now new at $400 or whatever you could sell it for $250-300 easily at any time years later if you take care of it, or pretty much exactly what you paid for it if you buy it used. Don't shit on your drawing accuracy for years because you don't want to spend a couple more days' worth of pay. Gnomesaiyan?

a huion is not going to shit on his drawing accuracy. back in the day people used to work on these shits with gimp, and still steadily improved. As a complete beginner, your tools don't really matter at this point. a hion new 1060 plus is a perfect "first tablet".

>a huion is not going to shit on his drawing accuracy.

If it didn't do exactly that then the larger models and Cintiqs wouldn't exist. Tablets like that are on the cusp of being good but they're not, that's why people go right from them to a overpriced and overrated Cintiq of one sort or another all the damn time.

>back in the day people used to work on these shits with gimp, and still steadily improved

They would have improved faster with better software and better hardware, which leads to my next point.

>As a complete beginner, your tools don't really matter at this point

Absolutely disagree. A beginner has every incentive to get the best equipment they can conceivably afford even if they have to save up for it-and I'm definitely not talking about a Cintiq. Intuos Medium-sized tablets like the 1060 are slippery enough on typical computer monitors that the extra couple hundred dollars are well worth it for a Large, or a Giano at the bare minimum. There's basically no reason for the others to exist at this point.

Why you'd commit yourself to drawing hours every day and ever relegate yourself to anything but the best equipment you can get is a mystery to me. Accuracy is time, and time is money-whether in the figurative or literal sense. Gnomesaiyan dawg? Real talk tbhfam.

>>3200163
Probably the 22HD. Just make sure you buy a $250.00 Wacom® Color Manager (sold separately) so you can correctly calibrate it yourself

...so I've earned the right to say that. I probably have more experience with tablets than many noteworthy artists do at this point. The screen is a meme. You're still better off with a Cintiq than something like a Intuos Medium, Small or equivalent model though. It's better to waste your money than waste your time (having to zoom in 300% or undo 47 times whenever you decide to lay a mark down). Spend the money now or really pay the price later bro.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 9 16:17:42 2017 No.3200214 Is a (barely) used Intuos Pro Medium Paper Ed. for €200 a good deal? I assume you can use it like the normal versions as well? Just asking because the Paper Ed. is cheaper than other models, otherwise I assume it's a bit of a gimmick.

Sorry that kind of came off as douchey unintentionally. I don't think there's too many people with that tablet here, man. You should call or email Ugee and see if they're able to help.

If it's any consolation, when I bought my 12WX years ago that quickly became a $1,200 paperweight because it had problems similar to what I'm experiencing with the 27 QHD rn. I've spent about $4,000 on paperweights so far.

Hey, so I'm an aspiring professional concept artist. I still have about $2,000 in Graduation cash to use on a cintiq. For the past five years I used a medium Wacom Intuos pro.

Anybody have recommendation for which cintiq to get? I've been looking at the Wacom 16 inch one, anyone have any experience?

>Anyone else had issues with this model?
I have one, the stylus skates across the drawing surface like a duck on ice but I think that may be an issue with all tablets, personally I really enjoy it.
What program are you trying to use the tablet with?
