Buy the biggest/newest in your budget. Medium-Large pen tablets or 16-24" display tablets are considered the sweet spot by most artists.- If you don't see a tablet you're interested in listed, ask about it. This isn't a definitive list, just one to give you an idea where to start looking.-Tape paper over your pen tablet if you want a more traditional drawing feel- Wacom is still the industry standard, but they're overpriced and a lot of pros and studios are switching. Chinese brands have caught up in the past few years and will provide a near identical user experience for a fraction of the price.>Recommended Software:Clip Studio PaintPhotoshopProcreateInfinite PainterRebelleKrita or hipaint if you're poor>Display Calibration tools:https://www.eizo.be/monitor-test/http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profileshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avJTz1JhkR4 (Use this guide to roughly calibrate your display if you don't want to invest hundreds into a colorimeter you'll only use a few times)
guzzlerbros...
>>7350131You can rent colorometers from photography shops
>>7350141unless you're doing prints I think it's kind of a waste of money, but how much are they typically rented out for?
>>7350133may day may day
>>7350131I exclusively work with the Scribblen Play Red tablet in my psych ward
>>7350238What software?
screenless tablet bros which size is your tablet s/m/L?
>>7350284Medium size. Non negotiable.
>>7350284medium is goated, but some people prefer large because they're psychopaths
Nth for the XP Deco Pro is amazing value and a great option if you are using screenless.
>>7350284small for painting
>The wacom schizo's thread go nukedrip bozo
Can someone give me a QRD on the lore from this general? How can a tablet thread have such consistent posting activity? Is this a sort of /DAD/ trash general spin off?
>>7350374TLDR: every general has AT LEAST one insane person, this general's local retard is some very angry wacom fanboy who is trying to derail any discussion of tablets they suspect to be Chinese spyware so we have a lot of spam
>>7350144$10-$50 per day depending on how nice of a colorometer you rent, the higher price ones are overkill. You cant rent software for them but you can install color profiling software thats free.I think its worth it to calibrate the tablet the first time you set it up. I own a spyder and I just set up new monitors and tablets, make a profile for day and one for night and then dont really touch the thing again for probably 3 to 6 months, if that.If youre doing things for print or are using your equipment for photo editing then its actually useful to own one and keep it plugged in so it can adjust with the ambient light.
>>7350374>How can a tablet thread have such consistent posting activity?it can't. like 70% of the posts are one psychotic freak that got raped by a chinaman 10 years ago and now jacks off to chinese femboys while cursing their tablets. the rare times he's been banned, these threads die with like 40 posts, because there's really not that much to discuss anymore. every tablet made today is basically the same and you should just get the best one in your budget.
>>7350374>>7350381Yeah we have a guy who was banned from /g/ years ago and migrated here that hates Lenovo and loves ipads and wacom only. He posts pictures of tablets, calls everyone chang, argues with himself, and does q&a with himself to keep the thread looking active. It's really sad.The one time he posted a verifiable screenshot from himself there was a page full of (you)s from him talking to himself, and a window with 7 or 8 different tabs of gay camboys, which he was actively chatting and donating to.Im not joking about that shit, it was out of nowhere and its the only thing he wont respond to because he doesnt want anyone digging up the archive of that moment.
>>7350389>>7350395>>7350381Thanks for the history lesson anons.
I'll repost my question here since the other thread got nukedif my desk is about the length of 2 and a half Intuos Pro Mediums, should I get a Cintiq 16 Pro or a 24 Pro refurb? I'm worried the 24 pro might be too big for my space
>>7350410I'd just use an ergo arm but I dont think wacom has vesa holes, you need a special adapter
>>7350413there's an official VESA mount by Wacom 24 and 32 so I would assume it worksmy concern is my desk is made of that flimsy fake-wood shit, I got it from an office depot like 7 years ago, and I'm wondering if the desk could even support the weight of the arm
I swear I saw procreate announce they were making a windows version but I cant find anything about it. Am I crazy or did they?
>>7350131PREVIOUS THREAD >>7337560
>>735043224 is fucking yuge. It has a 31" diagonal because it has a massive fucking bezel. You do need a fairly large desk for it to fit. Also if you go the ergotron route, note that the fucker is like 17lbs or something, so you'd need a pretty stout arm.
>>7350381>Chinese spywareYou mean like your garbage spyware app you keep shilling, ching?
im a manlet, should I get the 22 inch xppen or the 19 inch one? I know I should get it as big as possible but I can't choose.
>>7350662XP-Pen is low quality garbage.
>>7350451They didn't announce anything, they were musing about it in a twitter reply but apple has their balls in a vice so I doubt it's ever happening
Never buy Huion or XP-Pen.They are low-quality garbage and the companies are notorious for not honoring warranties.
>>7350284large , gonna sell it next year and buy a medium one
>>7350670I've had both and never had an issue with their warranty service. Theyve replaced entire tablets for me when needed.Doesnt wacom have a bad track record with the red pixels of death and shit?Anyways how many camboys are you at
The schizo already spamming the same old ass video from 2015.
>>7350682>I've had both aBecause you're a chinese shill, I know.Shillbots like you can be safely discarded.
>>7350670
>>7350725>>7350731We don't care about your marketing, shill moron. We already know XP Pen and Huion are low quality garbage.
>>7350770Who are "we"? You are the only one complaining this hard about chinese tablets, just look at the rest of the thread. I would love to see the screenshot that >>7350395 is talking about.
>>7350782Chang, you're too transparent. You've been seething here for years now, we know your game, you're a laughable, pathetic samefagging shillbot.XP Pen and Huion are still garbage. Stop making low quality crap and trying to shill it here. Then when people make honest reviews criticizing your crap you hurl abuse at them like the pathetic piece of trash you are.
Is this what they call projection?
>>7350666Aww damn oh well
>>7350687his thread got nuked so now he's seething
Is there a good desktop art program that can do the edit line type thing that procreate can do?
>>7350965I know this general means everything to you, but nobody else cares nearly as much, sorry chong.The real problem is that your XP Pens and Huions are total garbage and a waste of money.
>>7350982>I know this general means everything to you>wacum guzzler is projecting again
>>7350432They make wall mountable gas arms. Theres a way that people put table mount gas arms on glass desks by adding wood to the clamp or something that could work for your desk but idk.

my dad works for the ccp and they're tracking down the guzzler as i'm making this post, they're gonna find him and execute him for being a threat to national security and single-handedly lowering china's GDP by over 13%
>>7350131buying a "better" and more expensive drawing tablet really did help your drawing results?
>>7351132the only time this can happen is if your brain doesn't like screenless drawing and you switch to a display tablet
>>7351132If you go from a s reenless tablet to a dispkay tablet, yeah you'll improve as your hand-eye cordination level needs to be less.
>>7351132no, but it's more fun to draw in a better tablet
>>7351132It did, It definitely made the whole experience smoother and my work more neat. Its not gonna turn you into a mangaka because of course an expensive tablet wont make you a better artist, but it will definitely help you tidy up things. Better tools means better control over what you do. Rotating the canvas with a dial helped me a lot but I wish it was actual analog rotation.t. got a wireless Deco pro.
>>7351190>t. got a wireless Deco pro.So you got garbage? Ok.
Why is it so much harder to move your hand from point A to B when you use a screenless tablet? How to get a better flow?
Does anyone here actually recommend surface pro? It seems like it would be too clunky to be useful
I would get a Galaxy tab if clip studio wouldn't be a subscription service
>>7351558infinite painter is alright
>>7351558Use Krita instead.
>>7351558Just wait out until one of their sales and get a perpetual license, its at a reasonable price.
>>7351561I would absolutely buy another perpetual license but that's not a thing on android
>>7351558https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DivtyKrDyIA
>>7351560>>7351570I don't like kritas ui
>>7351559>>7351560>>7351572oh, is the schizo really spamming this hard? lmfao
>>7351559Are there any anime style artists that draw in it?
>>7351578I'm not the guzzler, I use it with my MDPit's not perfect software either, I find it kinda buggy/less stable compared to CSPbut I refuse to pay for subscription jewery>>7351579not that I know ofipads/procreate is the mainstream, tbqh
My house caught on fire and I lost everything my computer and my tablet along with my art books. Good news is I got reimbursed for the value which means I can get a new tablet. What would you recommend for a budget of 1300?
>>7351672screenless medium wacom. Put the rest of the money in a good PC
guys is it weird that I masturbate to my wacom?
>>7351700What model wacbro?
>>7351684ntabut is the one branch any good? I've seen some mixed reviews around
>>7351578>Hating Krita makes you a schizoStay mad no one likes your shitty pajeet software Ranjeet
>>7351776Adobe is made by Pajeets at the orders of shekel masters. Krita is made by scandies and ruskies.Jeets hates ruskies now. Ruskies enemies of kikes now.>Adobe-malware VS Krita. >EVIL-kikerie VS Wholesome and free anti-kikerie.That's why Krita is under paid mercenary smear campaign attack 24/7 in this psyop battleground.
>>7351603Do I watch procreate tutorials then?
>>7350609>31">17 poundsjesuswould it just be better for me to go with a 16 pro then? it has to be no different than just drawing on a piece of paper in terms of size, right?
>>7351903>it has to be no different than just drawing on a piece of paper in terms of size, right?Note that with most desktop drawing software you lose 1/3 of your screen realestate, but 16s are pretty comfy. I still like my 22 a lot though
Oh wow the new thread is already up sorry guys, I wasn't fast enough. I just finished most of the rentry for the exodus to /g/ so I guess when we hit bump limit here I'll make the thread and we can hopefully leave this schizo behind
>>7351918lol, this retarded schizo banter is fun. Not gonna lie.
>>7350662The 22 inch is 1080p if you're talking about the 22 Plus and the 19 should be 4k so I would go with 19. At that size 1080p's pixelation gets pretty noticeable
>>7351923Yeah but people who come get poisoned info and get tired of the thread drama when they want real advice. Don't want that happening because of a literal freak even if it is amusing
>>7351918>when we hit bump limit hereI can say with near certainty he's going to make the new thread at like 250-270 then spam shitposts like he's already done.
>>7351970Oh yeah right. I guess if he goes first I'll just go ahead and make the /g/ thread too. However it goes the next thread will have a crosslink to the /g/ one.
>>7351970So his game's out. Then what? Start the new thread at 230?
>>7351981You're one nasty mother fucker. Geez, schizos in this board don't fuck around.
>>7350131My Huion Inspiroy H610PRO V2's gone unresponsive. Tried it in different USB ports, nothing. Not sure if the USB cable's fucked or the whole thing is since I don't have a spare mini USB cable to test with. Wat do?
>>7351672screenless medium xp pen.much cheaper than wacom with more features.
>>7351793>ESL ramblingPeak schizo Ranjeet
>>7352003Your own fault for buying poor quality garbage, good job retard.
>>7352045>chinese shillbot still trying to scam people into buying worthless landfill trash>>7351672Do not listen to the chinese scammer here: >>7352045You would be wasting your money.
>>7351603Nobody cares what a chinese shill like you has to say. You are worthless junk.
>>7351941This is a board for posting and sharing art, not for shilling your crappy low quality tablets, worthless moron.
