Best Drawing Tablets for Beginners - What I Recommend

Why can't anyone pronounce ibis properly?

Ibez? 🤦‍♂️

You should test the lenovo tab p11 gen 2. OLED 144hz display. optional fairly cheap pen (lenovo precision pen 3), i am very happy with it. i also bought a screenprotector with a rough finish for paper feel.

What about Veikk Studio VK1200? Love to hear your thoughts on it!

I hate when the guy says "The products will be on links down below" or something like that and you look and there is nothing about the products.

I don't know when they made it available on windows but Adobe Fresco IS available on windows I had to check because you say its not aviable repeatedly in this video.

Couldn't just simply put product links in description?

I just got a IPad 10th generation 10.9 screen😍do I need the second generation I pencil? Which app? Procreate? I’m not a professional just using for personal use and entertainment 😍thank you in advance

Good god his "beginner" recs are so expensive, I'd recommend trying another video to save you some time.

Reminder that wacom have an official driver in the mainline linux kernel, so on every distro its literally plug and play.

Which iPad Air

I don’t see the point of the iPads for starting off when you could just get a high-end one for practically the same price

Brad, I'm looking for my 13 old who wants to get into animation. Should I go big with the iPad Air for the apps or start with s6/8. We use Android but I don't want him to be limited by apps. Planning on getting him your course as well.

I would be using gimp, mostly for photo editing. Do the huion products basically function as a 2nd screen?

can u buy me one sir

Should I get ipad pro 2021 or huion kanvas 12?

So is HUION 13 good too?

I have iPad mini and I can do anything like I draw in procreate. I have the Apple Pencil so

I don’t know if anyone told you this but you should get into voice acting

Which drawing tablet works with cellphones? Which cellphone would work with drawing tablet?

iPad is Drawing on glass for me even with a paper like protector I can’t do it

Are these in order of preference?
For example, do you recommend the Samsung tablets before the Huion Kamvas 16?

Which generation of the iPad air is better to use? Or does it not matter?

Basically all I want to do is to be able to draw on that screen. It needs to work independently, means without being attatched to a computer or so. It needs to be able to draw without resolution restrictions, aka when I pinch zoom into the drawing I don't want to be limited by pixels getting larger, aka the resolution gets defined when exporting the drawing to an actual image like png or jpg. (But I guess that is less a tablet question and more a drawing program question.) Colors have to be displayed accuratly. Means no oversaturated colors, no warmwhite or coldwhite display and so on. Sadly this one little detail is so extremly hard to find. ANY tablet I tried (in stores, haven't bought one yet for that very reason) had this issue. For some reason theyr whites are tinted and theyr colors are oversaturated and their displays are even too bright. Surprisingly even apple has all these problems.
So far I couldn't find any tablet at all which was good at displaying colors, you could say. (but tbf even a monitor without any other tech behind it what so ever and is made to just accuratly display colors already costs 300 and more.) oh, and screen resolution should also be at least 1920x1080.

Would the normal iPad 10th gen also work

Can you use the iPad Air to draw onto thel laptop? I often use procreate but throwing it around into some other animation apps on laptop

Hi there

I was honestly waiting for a Pen and Paper to be in this list... lol

Are there no good options for a stand a lone windows tablet out there? Im a adobe user so I have access to Fresco but really dont want an apple as Im pretty invested in the windows/android ecosystem. Im not a total beginner I did a lot if digital art many years ago I have an old wacom intuos tablet from well over 20 years ago when displays were more square. I also have one of their original cintiq pen displays which was incredible buggy and frustrating to use and may have turned me off to digital art. Anyway I'm dipping my toes back in is there a windows product comparable to the mac air? I dont mind spending a little more money to get a product that fits my needs.

Which ipad air?

If you’re JUST getting into digital art for the first time, I would not recommend getting a dedicated pen display/pad tablet, they’re so nice to work with but they run for so much money and if you’re just not into digital they just sit around and collect dust. That’s why the iPad is so nice, because it barely has a learning curve, and if you’re just not into digital you can still use the iPad for other things

I went from a huion hs611 (great little tablet kinda like the xp-pen deco but with one usb C cable and some neat buttons and a slider) to a huion kamvas 16 pro which really is amazing but a bit annoying having to regulary recalibrate the pen as it offsets just a tiny bit almost every time...

i am considering an ipad air for more drawing on the go... being able to also have those sweet retrosupply brushes and textures both on procreate and photoshop is also to me a big bonus... so im really just praying for a ipad sale this black friday

hey, just quick question: you say you typically don’t recommend wacom to beginners due to price which is completely fair. does that still apply to the non-screen tablets as well?

My older brother got a wacom intuos 4 tablet years ago... like really years ago, probably around 10-12 years ago lol. He barely used it though and I'm pretty sure its still in the box somewhere. Has the technology changed that much that I need to consider a new one, or is it worth me digging through boxes to look for his old one? I'm a beginner!

Is one by wacom medium worth it?

Do you recommend the Xiaomi Pad 6 for beginners???

The one tablet I loved to used was the wacom bamboo. Lost the pen. No longer have the tablet but I never owned another one of those types of tablets again. Screen tablets yes. Ugee, a lot of flaws but they no longer make those. Now Kanvas Pro 16. I love it. Just requires to be hooked to a laptop and an outlet. Need one like the iPad pro. But now I don't trust it as much. Needs more RAM

iPads are the price of rent nowadays. Mine is dying and I’m living paycheck to paycheck so buying a new one is out of the question.. 😢

You know, I had no issues with drawing on a tablet while watching the screen. Because I can see the cursor, and therefore know where on the screen I'm drawing or whatever, it was pretty easy to get used to for me.

In Australia an iPad 8th gen is around $530 plus a 1st gen stylus is around $160. Apple are not interested in customers "on a budget".

Me: i am on a budget. Yes I’m 12 don’t judge 😎




Art is the best

My strategy is to buy a tablet solely for drawing and never connecting it to the internet after i downloaded all i need...
I'll just leave it stock and keep it like that... My last device lasted a long time because of that.

i wanna know what you think about the huion inspiroy ink, im using it rn to draw and its pretty good and afordable, so what do you think?

hey brad, what about pen displays like GAMON PD 2200 or XP PEN ARTIST 24 PRO?

I need a teaching tool that will allow me to draw on a PDF or a DOCX in the background. Will these drawing tablets do that?

What about the Picasatab XL

fam i am nearly 20 and i have zero experience at drawing.
But i have an ipad and an apple pencil. Is there a chance i can learn drawing now or is it too late?

I'm a traditional visual artist and I've always wanted to have a drawing tablet to explore digital arts but I didn't have the tools yet. Hoping to get mine soon, gonna earn for it. Thanks for the video.

Hi. I was here last year, wanting to know a budget tablet for us poor folks. My sister bought me a Wacom One, thinking it's the best tablet, but already I'm needing a new pen or even a new screen. It feels like the lamination is fading. I draw on it and it becomes all sqeaky or scratchy, as I'm drawing. I even changed out the nib in case it was that, and it didn't fix the problem. My sister is wanting to get me a replacement Lenova and I told her Lenova 2 in 1 laptop/tablet which is like 1,000 to 2,000 because we love Lenovas. My current Lenova touch still works, despite falling apart after falling off the bed by accident. Is it worth it just waiting on that 2-in-1 laptop, or just continue or even buy a new cheap display tablet while I wait? I'm afraid of destroying the lamination on the Wacom One if I continue using this. 🤔
