Product Information

Artists and designers working full-time may wish to stretch to something a little more screen real estate but for beginners and those on a budget, the XP-Pen Artist 10 (2nd Gen) is a solid choice. The Wacom Intuos Pro is a graphic drawing tablet, which means it doesn’t have a screen. It connects to your Mac or Windows PC via USB, or wirelessly over Bluetooth. Its multi-touch functionality lets you easily scroll, zoom, and navigate your art via the tablet. (You can also turn touch-based gestures off if they mess with your flow.) Unlike graphics tablets, which we'll talk about in a moment, drawing tablets are mostly autonomous devices. While some tablets connect to computers, most don't fall into this category, making them ideal for digital artists on the go. Considering how much technology is inside these devices, they're usually more expensive than graphics tablets, too.

As you can see, the way a drawing tablet works is pretty simple and doesn't require any special skills. Inspiroy Ink LCD Writing clear screen button Inspiroy Ink LCD Drawing Tablet (Clear LCD Screen) The pros and cons of LCD drawing tablets

The pros and cons of LCD drawing tablets

Pen sensitivity is measured in pressure levels. In most tablets, they can range from 1024 up to 8096 pressure levels. But as a beginner, you’re unlikely to notice the difference between 4096 and 8096 levels. Anything above 2000 pressure levels will already be very sensitive.

Huion H420X: The best budget graphics tablet A lot of people focus on the tablet but forget the pen, which is a big mistake when you’re spending a lot of time working on your art. Lightweight pens often feel less natural and are harder to work with than a heavier, chunkier pen, and what’s fine to use for an hour or so could cause you some major discomfort over a long working day.

A drawing tablet will allow you to get creative with digital art. You can use drawing apps to paint, draw, and design, then upload to social media for others to see! Graphics tablets are the more affordable option, being more hardware-lite. They generally respond with great accuracy – if, of course, you can get used to looking up at a screen while drawing. Since they don’t arrive with a built-in display, they’re more robust, too. As such, graphics tablets are the perfect choice for frequent travellers, so long as you have access to external monitors or laptops to which you can connect them. Before you buy this tablet, make sure that your computer has HDMI and USB ports. Otherwise, you’ll need to buy an extra adapter for your tablet to work. There are many affordable LCD drawing tablets in the market: One of the best things about LCD drawing tablets is that there are many different variants to suit various budgets. While more expensive tablets may have high-end features, a basic LCD drawing tablet is usually enough for most people. The XP-Pen Artist12 earns our top spot because of its compatibility, customization, and reasonably affordable price point. The touchscreen display—a 1920 x 1080 HD IPS display—isn't the highest resolution available. Still, with 72% NTSC Color Gamut accuracy, it focuses on reproducing your work with as much precision as possible.The Surface Pro 8 is the closest Microsoft has come to contending Apple in the tablet space; but it might leave creatives wanting when compared to the iPad Pro. However, it’s a huge jump up from the Surface Pro 7; on test, we found it was nearly 50% faster. Where Wacom’s Cintiq range is aimed at creative professionals, the Wacom One is designed for hobbyists and artists. There are signs of this in the lower resolution of the drawing surface and a drop in the pressure sensitivity of the pen but, frankly, this pen display is good enough for anyone to use. The 13.3in screen size hits the perfect balance between giving you enough screen to see what you’re doing and not occupying half your desk and it’s also a good match for the full HD display resolution. When it comes to specs, you get 2540 LPI and 4096 pressure levels. That’s lower than the Pro, but to be honest, you’ll hardly notice the difference. Now that we've covered the basics of drawing and graphics tablets let's take a more in-depth look at how they work.
