Looking to buy a new Graphic Drawing Tablet, Need Advice

ningshan

Hello,

I have been looking around for a good drawing tablet that wont break the bank. I have used a wacom intuos draw before and liked it but would really like a screen to draw on. I do a lot of vector work and but also enjoy drawing on photoshop.

Wacom Cintiq Screen Tablets are too expensive for me, so I was looking at the other brands , After all the research I have come to xp-pen artist 15.6 pro ( xp-pen.com/product/65.html ) that I have heard good things about. I want to stay under the $500 range.

If you can recommend something different or share your experience with artist 15.6 pro it would help out tremendously.

Thank you in advanced.

Going by the info in your post, it looks like you are USA based.
This is a UK forum so any advice or suggestions given may not be of use as the items recommended may well not be available in the States or if they are, the prices will probably be totally different.

The Wacom Cintiq 16 Full HD Display looks good but is just over£500 prob same in US. But I believe it requires a PC to be connected to it. There are cheaper Chinese alternatives on Amazon, just read the reviews.

Are you okay with using a tablet, stylus and mobile apps? I think iPad and Apple Pencil would be a good combination. I would suggest getting the 128 GB model and a refurbished Apple Pencil. You can also look into refurbished/used iPad Pro models. Regarding apps I heard good things about ProCreate

This has all the hallmarks of a spam post, but I'm going to assume it isn't, and say that if you'll be using it for something you earn your livelihood with, get a Wacom.


Otherwise get a cheaper Chinese model that gets 4+ stars from enough genuine looking reviewers on Amazon.

Get a used Cintiq 12wx. A few hundred will get you one.
