If your getting an XP-Pen display, I highly recommend the ones with the wheel. Sure, I love my 22e Pro, though I am kinda bummed that I missed its successor with the wheel by a few months. I recommend the Artist 13.3 to my mom for image manipulation, and having used the wheel myself I fell in love with it.

You can still do those action with shortcuts, but with a wheel you can essentially program both the increase and decrease value functions to a single input rather than programing them to two separate keys. XP-pen also supports changing one of the shortcut keys to switch the knob from zoom mode to brush size mode. Though I find this kind of clunky. I like using it for my brush size and use my z key to control the zoom with my mouse (at least in adobe programs)

Did u buy the 15.6? Cuz I can get the 15.6 for 250$ and this from video at 250$ too, but I can get the pro 16(1st gen) for 270$, what u think it would be good for me to pick?
To be honest, it doesn't even matter, it will be similar experience. I realized, that even non screen tablets are good too and more portable. Bigger the better, newer = better. All of these display tablets cost way too much just for a drawing screen so it depends on the deal. Main thing is your skill in drawing app for work you do.
Is it good for left hand artists? I always see these drawing tablets made for right hand artists, so I'm too scared to spend the money.(I've tried looking for the answer online but I went unanswered.) If so I want to go ahead and buy this as it's everything I am looking for.
please review light brush, it's a free web painting tool, I think people need to know about it. it's fully featured with layers, masks, custom brushes, color blending with any brush, and has a few special things, like spree - which allows to retouch recently laid color without affecting whats underneath, among other things.
I wish I could find someone reliable review this for 3D stuff, like sculpting in Maya or even Blender because that is what I would mostly use it for. I'm not sure how the wave issue thing interacts with sculpting at all, would love to see that sort of thing.
I use my old Xp-Pen 15.6 (before the pro version) with ZBrush with no problems at all. Had some calibration issues in the past, but they got fixed (software updates).
Hi all! I'm new to the field of digital sculpture and I'm looking to get started. I've come across two versions, the XP-Pen Artist 16 (2nd Gen) & the Huion Kamvas pro 16 (Full HD - Not 4k). I'm uncertain which one would be better. I've tried researching their features and even their release years, but I couldn't find much information. Which one would you guys recomend?
Honestly I’ve fallen too much in love with scroll wheels. If it doesn’t have a wheel it doesn’t really clock in for me. I know it sounds weird but I like having that dial to adjust to exactly what I want for zoom/brush size every time without clicking buttons repeatedly.
Yes! My gaomon tablet also has the bottom shortcut key set so my scroll wheel can switch between three different settings, it’s made my workflow so much faster
I have the 15.6 (First Gen) and never plug the second USB (red one) On my computer. I plugged it once, but unplugged after, and stills working as expected. Don't know about other models. It's nice to have the option to use just one usb-c cable.
I've used it before and it's good but I couldn't figure out the bucket tool and then it crashed and deleted my progress so I got mad and deleted it lol
First of all I use your reviews before I buy anything on the assumption they are going to work but I think it significant that the problems of DRIVERS with XP Pen Artist account for more than 4 out of 5 issues. This together with the fact that they ignore any request for help if the issue is beyond their competence. All the best to you and when you do the little dance and incantations ensure you have one for XP tablets that do not work.
Hi! Thank you very much for your videos. I watched several already. I have been trying to learn about these articles to have a christmas present for my wife (she is a digital animator and I know she really want a drawing tablet that she does not need to connect to the laptop). After my not even amateur research during the last days, I came to the conclusion that the Artist 16 could be a good choice, nevertheless, I would like, if possible, your recommendation on getting the artist 16 2nd gen or the artist 16 pro? Could you please help me with this choice? Which one do you think could be more convenient for her?
Yea, I got mine just after they placed it live on their official website... I regret the purchase, I should have just gotten the Xp Pen Artist Pro 16 (with the x3 pen with eraser thing) and yea... I'm annoyed with the line wobble. i regret my purchase.
Decided to get one of these or the Pro (not TP) version. How much does the display itself weigh? Can't find the weight of both anywhere. Since I want take it with me to locations it would be great to know how light or heavy they are.
Hi. Im planning to buy a tablet and I'm torn between The Artist 15.6 pro and the Artist 16 2nd gen . They are almost the same price . The pro has a stand and a pen case? and I'm considering it but it is getting old now. But, Which is better for the long run? Are the new features on the 2nd gen worth more than the free accessories from the pro?
Hello! Can you help me on choosing the right pen display, I watched your review in the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro and this (XP-Pen Artist 16 2nd Gen). For you, which device is better? Thanks a lot!
Brad *I won't rest until I've reviewed every graphic tablet in existance* Srsly. You are the only person where I watch even similar seeming videos, cause you know how to present :p
Brad! I have a question! Can something like this work as a second monitor on an iPad with stage manager? Curious if there’s a tablet display that will work with stage manager cause that could be a game changer! Thanks!
Interesting idea, though I would assume that the pen would be come blunt in use, like any mouse you connect to the iPad. It wouldn’t have the drivers to support working like the apple pencil. Doubt it could be powered by a single usb cable to the iPad. You would probably need a split usb cable to deliver power by another means like a battery bank. I see no reason why it shouldn’t work as a second display as long as you take the previous concessions into account. I can see it being useful in the context of using the tablet for drawing on a computer at home and as more screen real-estate on the go on the ipad. These are only slightly more than most IPS portable monitors I’ve seen online.
@@cheesycheese8451 No the external tempered glass screen protector adds the wobble. So it's either wobble with screen protection or micro scratches with smooth lines.
It's not a tablet with its own OS, it needs to connect via cable to something like a PC/Laptop in order to mirror the screen. If you want a standalone device for drawing iPad etc. is your best bet.
A video using a screen less drawing surface like the "one by Wacom" connected to an Apple Silicon Mac drawing in procreate would be an interesting video. To see the One by Wacom drawing work in Procreate like on an ipad but on the mac and looking at the monitor instead of drawing on the touch screen of an ipad
Yeah recently I bought their Graphic Tablet (in pink!) And I found out that I do not like this new 3x chip pen! I had to raise my stabilization more! So I got their previous model, the Deco Fun Small! I think its perfect for me since I draw in a small space and don't need express keys! If I were to go back to Display Tablets, I think I'm jumping ship to Huion! (Sorry, Wacom too pricy for me!)
@@penholder7765 The 24 seems brighter and obviously it’s bigger. But other than that, you can’t tell the difference. And the answer to my question is yes. The one driver works on both.
Hey Brad. been a big fan of your reviews as well as getting to see your artwork for a while! finally biting the bullet and getting a display tablet for the girlfriend for Xmas. I know this is the newest of the 16" tablets from XP-pen, but do you recommend it over the Artist 15.6 Pro or the Artist Pro 16? I'm having a tough time trying to decide. Thx in advance!!
Look up at the wobbly lines at 07:04 . Seems like the new 2nd gen line ups have this wobbly mechanical lines (i watch the 10, 12 and 16 2nd gen from Brad videos, all have these wobbly lines). A bit turn off. The previous models dont have that obviously pretty bad wobbly lines.
Hey I have a question does this have social media like UA-cam and editing apps cause I would like to upload my animations on UA-cam and also does this have flipaclip it's another animation app please and thank you
I just got this tablet and I’m having a hard time getting it to work with my brand new MacBook Air. The tablet won’t show what’s actually on my computer screen but the mouse will still have some function. When went to instal the driver it said to make sure I was on Mac OS Big Sur but I’m currently running Mac OS Monterey and I think that’s screwing it up but I’m not to sure. Anyone have any ideas? This is my first time setting up a drawing tablet so any help would be very helpful!
Hmm, the USB C wouldn't be any kind of trouble for me, I got that lying around anyway since my cell phone uses one. I'd be more interested in knowing if I could give a 180 turn, so I can use it properly ^^' I'm nowhere near using any type of pro artist tools, I still love drawing offline most and use drawing programs for photo manipulation and to clean up stuff and I actually got a Wacom One for that, but find that kinda impractical - I'd really rather try to find a pen display, ideally one that fits into the bag with my laptop, I don't need one that's the size of my desk ^^'
Sorry for my unknowledge... This tablet-pad, needs pc or monitor to work? Can i take it on the beach or in the car to draw? I want it as a present for my daughter...!
I hate the world "Budget" I use pen tablets professionally and prefer the smaller size as a professional choice. Budget doesn't mean cheap or crappy..spending more doesn't make your skills better, we need a new word.
I'm very dissatisfied with this tablet, I've requested a refund before but they just sent me a replacement pen... Wobble still there... Your line of work is the same as mine... I hate this... I just wasted 400$ and I get stressed...
If your budget is $200 for a Drawing Screen Tablet. Just Don't. You're just wasting money. Buy a Screen-less tablet instead. I would suggest Wacom Intous pro S to M. They would last a life-time and have better pen sensitivity than most of these Non-Wacom Screen tablets brands.

@@cheesycheese8451 No the external tempered glass screen protector adds the wobble. So it's either wobble with screen protection or micro scratches with smooth lines.
What kind of a usb-C-usbC cable to you recommend getting additionally? Are they all standard?
Would I be able to use my Wacom Pro Pen 2 with the tablet and if so, how well does it work?
Is a pc/laptop necessary to use it or can u just use it by itself without connecting it to anything?
It's not a tablet with its own OS, it needs to connect via cable to something like a PC/Laptop in order to mirror the screen. If you want a standalone device for drawing iPad etc. is your best bet.
A video using a screen less drawing surface like the "one by Wacom" connected to an Apple Silicon Mac drawing in procreate would be an interesting video. To see the One by Wacom drawing work in Procreate like on an ipad but on the mac and looking at the monitor instead of drawing on the touch screen of an ipad
I have the first version. One year and the monitor is having a problem. Not gonna updgrade, I’m considering huion or even wacom now.
I have two friends who have huion and there are problems too
Yeah recently I bought their Graphic Tablet (in pink!) And I found out that I do not like this new 3x chip pen! I had to raise my stabilization more! So I got their previous model, the Deco Fun Small! I think its perfect for me since I draw in a small space and don't need express keys! If I were to go back to Display Tablets, I think I'm jumping ship to Huion! (Sorry, Wacom too pricy for me!)
I have the 24 Pro and this one. Is it possible to use both on the same computer? One for home and one on the road if your aware?
How' big is the difference (drawing performance) between the 24 pro and the 16 2nd gen?
@@penholder7765 The 24 seems brighter and obviously it’s bigger. But other than that, you can’t tell the difference. And the answer to my question is yes. The one driver works on both.
Hey! Love your videos
Hey Brad. been a big fan of your reviews as well as getting to see your artwork for a while! finally biting the bullet and getting a display tablet for the girlfriend for Xmas. I know this is the newest of the 16" tablets from XP-pen, but do you recommend it over the Artist 15.6 Pro or the Artist Pro 16? I'm having a tough time trying to decide. Thx in advance!!
Look up at the wobbly lines at 07:04 . Seems like the new 2nd gen line ups have this wobbly mechanical lines (i watch the 10, 12 and 16 2nd gen from Brad videos, all have these wobbly lines). A bit turn off. The previous models dont have that obviously pretty bad wobbly lines.
Hey I have a question does this have social media like UA-cam and editing apps cause I would like to upload my animations on UA-cam and also does this have flipaclip it's another animation app please and thank you
Wdym its just displaying your pc screen its not like an tablet you need an pc or Laptop for it
Which stand for the Artist 16 gen 2? / Which one are you using in the Video?
what laptop did you use this with Brad?
I used it on my Macbook Pro and also on a Dell XPS
@@thebradcolbow what dell xps are currently rocking and did you use just the usb c Cable for connecting?
I just got this tablet and I’m having a hard time getting it to work with my brand new MacBook Air. The tablet won’t show what’s actually on my computer screen but the mouse will still have some function. When went to instal the driver it said to make sure I was on Mac OS Big Sur but I’m currently running Mac OS Monterey and I think that’s screwing it up but I’m not to sure. Anyone have any ideas? This is my first time setting up a drawing tablet so any help would be very helpful!
Are you sure you have the version that works with it?
Can you let me know the pens compatible with xp artist 16 1st gen
Does the pen has right left click middle mouse simulation ?
Would be great if you could review the Artisul SP1603
Hmm, the USB C wouldn't be any kind of trouble for me, I got that lying around anyway since my cell phone uses one. I'd be more interested in knowing if I could give a 180 turn, so I can use it properly ^^' I'm nowhere near using any type of pro artist tools, I still love drawing offline most and use drawing programs for photo manipulation and to clean up stuff and I actually got a Wacom One for that, but find that kinda impractical - I'd really rather try to find a pen display, ideally one that fits into the bag with my laptop, I don't need one that's the size of my desk ^^'
I think (haven't checked on this model but another one) the cable has to be USB-C THUNDERBOLT... Not all computers have that
got the 13 2nd gen, horrible jitter there too. returning it fast.
I was wondering what is better, Ipad pro or this thing for drawing? I mean pen experience.
Ipad pro
still waiting for asus rog flow z13 artist review 🙏
What's the best tablet for digital art?
Sorry for my unknowledge... This tablet-pad, needs pc or monitor to work? Can i take it on the beach or in the car to draw? I want it as a present for my daughter...!
Needs to be connected to a device.
I hate the world "Budget" I use pen tablets professionally and prefer the smaller size as a professional choice. Budget doesn't mean cheap or crappy..spending more doesn't make your skills better, we need a new word.
Only here for the glove dance, sorry Brad. :-P (but glove dance = like)
"Get it up to a slight angle..." just got me But very good presentation I am debating between XP-Pen and Huion Kamva 16
What is music name glove dance?
3:52 out of context this sounds bad. Anyway good review Brad!
I'm very dissatisfied with this tablet, I've requested a refund before but they just sent me a replacement pen... Wobble still there... Your line of work is the same as mine... I hate this... I just wasted 400$ and I get stressed...
4:55 Sorry, it's 8,192 levels of pressure.
And a super-duper pro model, and a double extra super-duper pro model
Touch?

Color GAMUT, not color gambit. You say it wrong every time. You know your stuff otherwise. It hurts my brain to hear you say it wrong. 0:59
400 pounds is budget range 😂 more like 200
If you want a piece of junk. Inflation is real buddy $400 is $200.
$200 screen tablet is trash not budget
200 dollars you might as well buy a graphics tablet at that point. Price point is too low to get something that won't be a waste of money.
If your budget is $200 for a Drawing Screen Tablet. Just Don't. You're just wasting money. Buy a Screen-less tablet instead. I would suggest Wacom Intous pro S to M. They would last a life-time and have better pen sensitivity than most of these Non-Wacom Screen tablets brands.

Has anyone used this with Blender on a Macbook Pro? Looking into 3-D modeling for future toy/action figure design and Nomad is limited. Thanks!
