Screenless tablets are outdated crap. Change my mind.

[Anonymous No.3935298]

The only reason we have screen less tablets at all is because they are cheaper to Wacom’s overpriced products and poorfags needed a way to start drawing their waifus without paying 1k+.

Everyone prefers to draw the natural way by looking directly at your drawing.

I mean yeah most Artists eventually adapted to their tablets. But it sucks ass. It’s sure as hell not ideal.

Nowadays you can get cheap screen tablets with apple’s iPad, Huion and Xp pen not to mention the surface and Samsung galaxy’s spen tablets. Screenless tablets are getting way cheaper.

Heck you can get a cintiq for $650 or an iPad for $300 +$ 99 for the pen.

Money is becoming less of an excuse and it will only get cheaper once the tech gets better.Theres no reason to bother with
screenless tablets in this day an age.

I'd say no for a simple reason.

Drawing "normally" you'd be looking at your drawing as its hung vertically, e.g. on an easel, when drawing with a screen tablet though, you're rarely having it sitting vertically in front of you. Almost 95% of the time it will be on a table, this causes you to view it at an odd angle and make the motions for drawing feel awkward.
With a screenless tablet, while you're still drawing awkwardly, your view of the drawing is "normal" which makes the actual visualization easier. Plus it opens up more options for using your keyboard and hot keys,

It's not about the tool, it's about the artist. Someone can make better art with a mouse on MS Paint than someone with Photoshop and a $3k tablet with a screen. The artist matters more than the tools.

So no, you're completely wrong. Like most art teachers trying to say your expression of art isn't art just because its not in their particular style or subjective viewpoint. While it may lack certain critical techniques it doesn't stop it from being creative expression or art. You're just wrong OP.

Congratulations you are a compete retard.

I am not blaming tools for bad art. If you had read the Op you would know I admitted screenless tablets produce good art. Yeah a cheap pencil can make good art. No shit Sherlock.

My point is that screen tablets aren’t standard because they were expensive as fuck but they are superior to screenless ones.

[Anonymous No.3936069]

>>3936061
And yet nothing I said is wrong in any way, if you want to argue about being comfortable, then a screenless tablet is still better as its easier on the neck/spine in terms of posture. Even so the ability to adjust between looking at your drawing and not looking at your drawing is almost virtually worthless as it takes a matter of about 20-30 minutes to get used to not looking down as your brain automatically adjusts thanks to a cursor on the screen matching up with your hand positioning.

With all that said, one of his arguments was affordability as well, which while they are becoming cheaper, they still aren't quite the same affordability as a screenless tablet, which can be bought for a mere $50-100 and work the exact same way for a worse posture and only so much pressure sensitivity differences. So instead of assuming everyone who doesn't agree with you is doing a straw man argument, why don't you actually try forming an opinion for yourself and actually discussing it rather than fling buzzwords around.

Superiority is a matter of subjectivity, while yes, it is generally better to look at something, it's not inherently better for everyone and causes posture issues. While yes they aren't standard because of their price, there is honestly zero difference between the two beyond specs. Your brain will adjust extremely quickly to not having to look and you'll save yourself tons of issues when it comes to neck/spine muscles.

Now would you like to keep arguing semantics between having a screen or not?

Yes, that is exactly how it works, your brain adjusts. I drew with a mouse for years, the moment I bought a tablet it took a matter of about 20 minutes to adjust for something I feared would be hard since I couldn't look at what I was doing,also yes, MS paint can do good art as well, maybe not all the things you need it to do, but it can do good art just fine.

Also nice avoiding the posture argument and comfortability entirely, which I believe was your and OP's point in the first place?

>>3936089
>If superiority was subjetive people wouldn't practice to improve themselves.
People improve because they subjectively view their skills as not being superior to someone else's or their own standards of superiority. If you had a screen tablet and a screenless tablet at exactly the same specs, then it comes down to pure subjectivity on which you prefer, and this calls back to your argument of whichever is more comfortable, which as we've seen in this thread is debatable, ie: subjective.
>You wouldn't need to be even more stupid than you are if you didn't ditch your shitty $30 monoprice tablets for a wacom $1 Kcintiq. Because, guess what? They ARE OBJETIVELY SUPERIOR
Again, we're arguing over comfortability are we not? That was your original point, correct? Yes, it was. if the two are identical then it comes down to personal subjective preference, and even then, having a screen generally increases the chances of poor posture because of the way you have to draw on it, whether with a stand or not by comparison, and again, that is still subjective, because everyone is comfortable in different ways. If the two tablets are identical beyond having a screen, then yes, its entirely subjective.
>Also I don't think you know what "semantics" means.

I'm starting to dislike my screenless, but I'm pretty sure it's a size problem, not a screen problem.
The active area on my screenless is about 6 inches. After taking away the UI of the drawing program, taskbar, etc., the active area is smaller than that. I sometimes struggle to get good lines because I can only use my fingers and wrist with such a small area. It works, but it's not ideal.
I feel like one of these 16in tablets would make sketching feel a lot more natural and smooth for me. And if it has a screen I don't have to get used to a different calibration with the screenless, along with all the other perks.
