r/drawingtablet

Looking for a large tablet for home use only. I'm using Linux as my OS on my work station desk (Krita, GIMP) and also have an Android Tablet (HiPaint, Krita) which I like to use when sitting at a free standing table. Wireless connectivity would be a big plus but from all the reviews I've consumed there's often a lack of drivers for Linux/Android specifically.

Well, I've narrowed it down to 2 candidates from sevenpen's recommendation list but am also open to other suggestions:

• Xppen Deco Pro XLW
• Huion Inspiroy Giano 930

These come around to the same price if I also order the order the recommended pen upgrade for the Giano (Slim Pen PW550S). I value initial activation force a lot. My favorite traditional tool are brush pens actually for that exact reason. I've been also eyeing the flagship Wacom Intuos Pro L which seems to be about the best pen tablet on the market (with the lowest activation force too) but the price is quite steep and part of it seems to be brand recognition and the bundled (trial) software. Neither of which is of use to me; still I value customer service and build quality a lot which seems to be high with Wacom.

The Deco Pro also comes with an extra remote but drivers will be an issue and at best I'm expecting restricted functionality. I don't mind tinkering with the initial set up and know how to use the command line but I'm not a programmer.

Currently swaying towards the Deco Pro but open to all suggestions. If you have first hand experience with a large tablet and how convenient the experience is on Linux/Android that is doubly appreciated. For my Android tablet (12 inch display) specifically it would be great if there's an option to reduce the active area of the drawing pad to the screen dimensions so that there's a 1:1 scaling.

I have a problem with the pen when I try to tap on any icon it starts glitching and doesn’t respond, as if it has become overly sensitive. However, I can draw normally plz help
I tried resetting the settings, like the ink icon, and I also tried turning the device off and restarting it, but it didn’t work.

Hey guys, just found this subreddit and wanted to ask, what budget friendly tablet do you guys recommend for note taking? I'm not planning on doing anything art related, I just want to be able to write down my notes without having to carry notebooks around anymore. If it matters, I have a hp Victus 16 laptop that runs on Windows 11.

Hello,
I'm very interested in the movink pad, but i've seen an old thread on /wacom that got me worried a bit.

I have a Macbook pro for work, and a Windows as a personal computer.
I'd use the movink for my personal work (i'm a 2d artist) and as a pen display on the Mac. I would also probably occasionally use it as a pen display on my Windows PC.

However, i read in the old thread that it's not possible to use it in pen display mode on both a Mac and a PC, that you have to choose just one (??????). Is that still the case? it sounds so incredibly anti-consumer that it's absurd to me, but i also know that the pen display mode is still in beta, so maybe it's a (hopefully temporary) limitation?

And since i'm already here, how is the Movink pad 14 in display mode? I'm a 2D artist and i use photoshop 99% of my time (the other 1% is after effects).

cheers

I know this is SUCH a long post but I REALLY need help with this. it’d mean so much if a few of you helped me out 😭🙏

Hello! first post in here. I currently have an IPad Pro with the gen 2 Apple Pencil but ive always dreamed of having a bigger surface to draw on: a drawing tablet!! however, it’s a lot of research, dedication and commitment in order to find one that fits my needs and I’ve only just got into looking at them! I’m so confused by it all.

I understand 2 brands rn and that’s it. Xpen and Huion or something similar however I don’t know what they do, I only know the brand names and that most people choose them.

I am a procreate user, but understand having to switch non-iOS os’s like csp for a tablet. Honestly, my ONLY concern is the touchscreen!! When it comes to drawing on PC with my older Wacom tablet (you have to look at the screen and draw, the Wacom itself is just a pad, not a screen) it’s really difficult because I’m not used to not being able to use my fingers to rotate the screen and draw.

im asking for some help. what tablets include features similar to the ones below or include most of them? Lmk if they don’t work like that as well. Just listing what I’m looking for.

- touchscreen OR a slider on the side to EASILY and QUICKLY rotate the drawing.

- zoom! an easy quick way to zoom (touchscreen, slider, or button) without any complex keybinds or having to click something in app to zoom.

- comes WITH a pen! And includes incredible pen pressure options and stabilization almost similar to how IPad does it.

- comes with an entire drawing app without me needing to pay extra for it (ex: i dont wanna buy a tablet and then have to get a $200 csp program, I need it to come with it) OR allows me to display my iPad to it and draw from there (may not be possible I understand!).

- high quality screen, PERFECT colors! what you see on screen is how it’ll look when I post it on social media.

- Comes with a tablet stand (a way to prop it up)

- CHEAP OPTIONS! Not a requirement. if there’s something better for more expensive I want to know! But if there’s a cheaper option that does the same also let me know 👀

that’s all for now! I may realize things I want as I get suggestions. Please teach me the cool stuff your suggested tablets include too! That’d be super helpful :) or I can just do my research lol.

Also, is there anything that lets you test out tablets before making a purchase?
Thank you so much!!

I currently use a Huion HS611. While I enjoy the size of the tablet I would enjoy something more portable. I have been looking into actual tablets so I can work on art while on the go and away from my desktop computer.

I use clip studio paint on my computer and would prefer to use it on my tablet as well so I've tried narrowing down some options.

I would love any opinions on which would be best for my needs! Since I can't link outside links I'll list what I'm currently debating down below. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

• TCL NXTPAPER 11 Gen 2 Android Tablet

• Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ 12.4”

I am looking for some good drawing tablets that are standalone, I have a Wacom tablet right now which is a non-display tablet which functions well but I really hate having to take my computer with me wherever I go.

This same issue seems to be prominent for display tablets. I am looking for quite a large screen, that has access to Clip studio paint because that is my app of choice. I had originally looked at the Artist pro 24 (Gen 2) but after finding out you have to plug it up as well I no longer have a clue, If anyone has any suggestions or input I would love to hear it so please don’t feel shy to reply!
