The XP-Pen astist 10 is the smallest and cheapest screen based drawing tablet you can buy at $170. But even at that great price is it worth it or does it cut to many corners?

I have this Artist 10. And comparing it with all the screenless stuff I've used, it's a good tablet and worth the extra price. The size does impose some limits that make it not ideal for fine inking, but as a tool for fullscreen sketching and painting it's basically the equivalent of A5 sketchbooks, which I think are just great. I found that I want to use traditional for inking anyway, so my process has gradually become "plan and rough out the illustration digitally, transfer it to paper, finish in ink, scan, color digitally".
I got this tablet in blue for my birthday and it's been two months and I love it. As my first drawing tablet, it's nice, wasn't too expensive, the size is nice for my workspace, I would recommend this to beginner. Its a good purchase.
I ended up replacing my not so gracefully aging Wacom Cintiq 13HD with this EXACT same tablet and I honestly with the XP Pen Artist 10 existed years ago. The performance of this new little tablet works just as good as a tablet from Wacom that cost quadruple more a few years back. Now the tablet is pretty dang small... That might bother some folks, me? Not so much, my hands are pretty small so the screen's size isn't too bad. Another good thing to mention about the screen is that the satin surface is a screem protector that can be replaced. As far as I know Wacom does not sell screen protectors. As for the tablet's pen? I do wish it was just a tad thicker, I am grateful that the stylus doesn't have one of those useless eraser buttons. Oh, I should mention that XP Pen as offers felt nibs. I HIGHLY recommend that EVERYONE should use them, they'll extend the life of your screen a hundred times over. I used them for years with my Wacom tablet. Hmm... That's about all that I can really think of. I totally agree that the tablet should have come with thw type-c cable, along with a wall outlet power brick... But! Other than that and the tablet's obvious size I can't really find any downsides for this little tablet, especially for the price.
Does your tablet have wobble/jitter when drawing slowly, like in Brad’s video?
@@lillycastitatis6807 I'm really happy to say that I haven't! Then again I do use allot of stabilization on certain brushes/tools, such as my inking pens. But! I haven't noticed at wobble/jitter on my other brushes/tools. It's just my personal opinion but I really think folks should get the tablet and try it out for themselves.
@@spectralcanvasimages Thank you so much for your input!
@@lillycastitatis6807 Np! I'm happy to help out. ^^
Little late, Just wanted to say xp pen is great when compared to wacom. Just realized that xp pens stylus sensitive is a little worster compared to wacoms, but to me xp pen is actually close to actually beating wacom like holy the weight of the pen and the weight of the tablet is so much better, xp pen just needs to fix there stylus sensitivity and boom!
I remember when they stopped making the Artist 10 in 2018 in favor of the Artist 12. The demand for cheaper tablets will always exist, so we see a triumphant return (though I'd just save for a galaxy tab s6 lite from 2019. You can find them open box for under 250)
yea! but I guess if you already have a nice and portable PC the artist 10 is a cheap way to get a nice enough portable drawing screen with the versatility of Windows, i'd look for an Android tablet or an ipad only after I had that drawing screen or if I didn't need to draw on a windows at all, but of course that priority changes with the creative process of each artist, but I've been admiring the tab S6 from afar for a while now, actually I'm pretty interested in some kind of galaxy book 360 since it's as portable as a 2 in 1 can be with all the functionalities I need for drawing and cheaper than the surface book dream lol
The other thing to point out with rather going for the Tab S6 lite in this scenario is that you can still use it with your computer as a pen display as well. So with some extra savings, you can have the best of both worlds with standalone portability and desktop drawing on a screen of roughtly the same size.
@@EyekooDrawsStuff but it work with every windows pc or only Samsung's?
@@soupslicer136 every windows PC. I'm using an Asus laptop with Win10
S6 lite is the way to go. Except I cant use blender or ue5 with it.
A very nice little option for when I want to transition from the screenless Deco v2. Thank you for covering it Brad.
Go for the Artist 12. Same price, better pen 🤷🏾♂️
@@theinktician Oh!
Additional information, if you want to use USB Type-C, make sure that USB-C port on your PC/Laptop/Android is supporting visual/video delivery.
Usually on PC and Laptop, there's an icon next to the port that tells what variant and features the port have.
For video delivery, make sure that there's a DisplayPort logo next to the icon or just a Thunderbolt symbol next to the port.
Please don't ask me how I know this. I learned the hard way...
It's wild that you can buy one of those for 170$ with a minimum wage of 7,50$ an hour, in Brazil it's 2000 reais (~400$) in the official xp pen store and that's almost 2 whole months of minimum wage, and that's the cheaper one we can get, that one huion studio PC for example is around 12 monthly minimum wages round here
I sure hope the rest scales, that minimum wage is kinda sad
@@repeekyraidcero it's fucked up and everything is overtaxxed
I already have an iPad, but if I did not have an iPad I would definitely buy this for the price and it having a visual monitor drawing screen
The XP-PEN Artist13.3 Pro 13.3 is on sale on Amazon right now for $189.
Since my family and me live paycheck to paycheck this is the only tablet with a screen from a well known company that i can afford, so Im so happy this is an option for me.
u guys dont understand the grief i am currently going through, i BOUGHT the artist 12 1st gen BEFORE this came out like I COULDVE JUST WAITED A WHILE AND GOTTEN THIS CUTE THING THAT IS SO PORTABLE LIKE IM LITERALLY SOBBING SO HARD RIGHT NOW I WISH I JUST BOUGHT THIS
I was gifted a 24" drawing Xp-Pen screen and I love it, but it is large and can not be on my dask all the time, and to set it up is not easy and it need like 3 wires, HDMI, USB-C and power, so a small dwvice had been great for me, so that is something I will look into now. I am rather new to this, I been using a Samsung Tab 3 before but after a horrible accident involving coffee I been penless.
I am still baffled there is no companion app to allow use for hot keys or orientation adjustments in Android for these tablets. Seems like a pretty small addition that would massively improve the utility of these tablets.
would only work if android apps you use themselves have sortcuts. as long as those arent there no shortcut app will send them to the drawing app
@@sadev101 if you have the drawing app Sketchbook you can edit it with that
@@seastarlit4134 sketchbook is a drawing app. like many on android. a good one btw. but its not what the original comment is about.
the commenter pointed out he is baffled if your display tabet has shortcut buttons there is no way to use them in all android drawing apps
In my honest opinion, the original Artist 12 that was mentioned in the video is a better tablet at the same price. The drawing performance is better and the pen has an eraser. All that's missing is a laminated screen
How do you compare? do you try both?
A large screen always a big plus, besides we have great 10" android tabs likes S6 lite which requires no PC connection and gives you a better drawing experience
The a droids wont work witH windows 7 though, right? Or is there a way to connect it to 7?

So, I have recieved 3 defective 16 inch models from XP-Pen over the last year. The customer service could barely communicate the issues and also couldnt speak very good english (Not the main issue) But, when i first ordered the innovator 16 last year, I thought it was great! But then after a while, the screen defects came about. Flashing, strobe-light like flickering, and cable port issues. I recieved, after hassle, another replacement, which was also defective. I then asked for a different model, which, was also defective in a slightly different way.
XP pen has slowly lost my trust sadly. The customer support and long-term quality is terrible in my experience.
at that price you cant really complain as long as it works and i prefer the smaller pens lol hate the big ones😛
8:16 just use krita or clip studio paint.
Help please i can't decide should i go for s6 lite or xp pen,i need for mostly short animation and illustration.
On my wishlist now 😁👍
I want to know which one should I buy for XP Pen Artist 13 2nd Gen or Kamvas 13? I want to hear everyone opion and also Brad
You are a great presenter but we need more tech info, for example: can any computer with a usb-c connector be connected with a single cable even if doesn't support displayport protocol (XP Pen drivers may be doing their own video signal thing with it via usb c protocol, like chromecast is doing over wifi)
Excellent video. Suggestion - ditch the up-front cutesy, which is also loud...
I hear ya, it's not for everybody... but the metrics don't lie, it dramatically helps retention and overall video performance.
Does the USB-C single cord option also take care of the power problem?
So the size of the tablet is about the size of my phone. (Zfold4 unfolded) that's a pretty nifty device especially for the price.
Nice review! Could you review the espresso display from an artist's point of view? I've seen other reviews of it but more from the tech side, not the art side. Thanks!
I would love to see this too
i wish my xp pen 13 pro could use a type c to type c connection and also had an eraser im surpeised they dont bother with that anymore or atleast give the option as an upgrade
Honestly less pressure but more accurate slow lines would be better. 4000 pressure sensitivity is good don't think you need more, even 2000 might be good.
Since I want to start drawing, and it sounds like a decent value, I want to purchase this one. But even though I haven't learned how to draw yet, should I buy or invest in this one (or any other pen displays for that matter?) (Also, what sizes are suggested for a beginner's good pen display?)
People usually say 13 or 12 inches, and xppen also offers this model in 12 and 13 inches, but with this model of xppen, there is no stand included in the box, you might wanna check out the others 12 inches tablets from xppen or huion tablets
I think you can start with just some sketching pencils and a sketchbook and learn that way first. Figure out if you even like it before investing in a tablet. But also! A sketchpad and pencil is more portable (don't need to be connected to anything). So you can literally take it anywhere and start sketching random things you see. That's how I learned to draw! I have an iPad now and love using procreate because it's just as portable as a sketchpad and pencil. That is all I use and I really love it. When I first started drawing in middle school and high school I never even knew digital mediums were an option lol. But I am glad I learned the way I did, because those skills you learn with physical mediums can be translated to the digital realm too. It just takes a little bit to get use to, because with digital work you cannot physically feel the texture or thickness etc of what you are working with. SO with brushes, It took me a little while to learn which brush would give me my desired effect but once you get into a routine you get use to it!
Start out with actual pencil and paper. Even if you go pro it's still the best drawing experience you'll have. All these creative displays are literally trying to mimic the real pen and paper experience as much as they can. They might not admit it, but most artists' primary reason for going digital is only because of the undo button no cap
I agree with the comments above, if you are just starting to draw, try sketching with pencils. Then when you acquire basic drawing skills and maybe learn some fundamentals, you could try give a digital drawing a shot (This would be the safe way).
Regarding the screen size, I would suggest getting at least 12 inches pen display for a beginner. Yes, you could draw with this 10 inch display, but the size might become a problem in the future, in case you decide to learn further, the small screen could be really uncomfortable in the drawing programs.
Start with basic pencil and paper. Once you know how to draw then maybe you can move to digital.
Otherwise, you need to learn to draw and learn how to use drawing software simultaneously, which will make your learning a bit challenging.
From my experience, when i started drawing on iPad, my drawing was bad. It took me months to get use to it. Or maybe it just me, im not a fast learner.
Why not reviewing the 13 inch?
because he reviews the 10 here
Please review a web painting tool called "Light Brush". It's very capable. Would appreciate you taking a look at it. thanks.
Does it have left handed mode? Like can I rotate the tablet so the buttons are on the right?
Wait it needs a Type A to type C cable right?
I would get a screen tablet this size if it could connect wirelessly to the computer. I'm still waiting for the day where we can get wireless screen tablets that connect to pcs and macs.
the visual updating of the screen would be too slow.
however both samsungs and apples tablet include this feature. and its laggy wirelesslessly but does work
*My Fav Arttech Channel...* ✌🏻🙂
Im from deco v1 is it a good upgrade? I want artist 15.6 but too expensive for me .. But i like the size
quick question so my neck gets tired using a screen tablet therefore I was thinking of getting a screen less tablet to look at my computer screen and not down at a screen but can this tablet be used as a screen less tablet?
Love your art!
What's the biggest portable display tablet for a pc? I'd love to have a 16 inch with physical bezel buttons with a single cord to connect to a laptop for mobile use. I dont know if any exist
Is it enough??
Hey Brad! Quick question : My laptop only has USB-A ports, so can I use a USB-A to USB-C adapter to use the cable mentioned at 4:03 ?
No, you can’t. The USB-C cable has built-in Data, Power and Video. You need to connect the HDMI plug to its respective port. If you have all Type-As, it’s best if you use the 3-in-1 cable
@@JackBandicootsBunker Ok. Thanks for the answer :)
Will you, by chance, review the XPS 2in1? I'm waiting for an artist's review of it to make up my mind.
Have xp pen deco lw, good so far.
Thank you
Can I use the xppen in adobe premiere for video editing
Good afternoon, I would like to ask you for advice. I am now choosing a surface pro for myself and I can’t decide what would be better for me as an illustrator. Is my budget enough for either surface pro 7 (i7 16gb+ surface pen 1) or surface pro 8 (i5 8gb+ surface pen 2) so that in your opinion it is more relevant and comfortable for drawing?
And the second question. I did not find detailed information on the Internet. How comfortable is the work on surface pro 7 + surface pen 2, and is it possible?
Don't have any, but I think the Pro 8 is better, the pen is much better and, well, the pen is better. It might be less powerful, but I think the 7+ wasn't made compatible with the Surface Slim Pen, so it won't take advantage of it.
do you know lazy nezumi? Can it be used to that xp pen 10?
Review the surface pro 9 review please
Hi- would this device be good for a 6 year old who likes to draw?
Does graphics tablet stylus Lag feel same as samsung spen?
How do you get to the drawing part?
Hi Brad i'm hamza an freelance motion designer and illustrator. I have a powerful laptop zephyrus g15 2021 specs out and I would like to ask if I should by a pen display tablet or change my laptop and buy a MacBook pro m1 max and an iPad pro and use it as a pen display. thank you so much your response
8:11 why don't u try krita, clip studio or medibang?
So, they don't work separately? Right?
Right. You need to plug it in a PC, Laptop, tablet or mobile device. It only Shows the screen and provides the input for any drawing with the pen. But itself has not any computing power to standalone
Can it plug up to android tablet
Could anybody say if this works successfully with ChromeOS?
what system do you use on the tablet?
Ipad or Artist 10 (2nd Gen
I think it would be freat for people who are starting out in how to draw and
can someone recomment me a vector app on android?
kool
have you tried asus z13?
Hi , i was looking for a drawing tablet for my daughter , is there one that we can use without connecting it to a laptop or computer ? Kinda liked this one ... thx for the help
The Artist 10 2nd can connect to androids. They do have a list on XpPen of compatible phones.
If you get one plese be advised:
I find it can be finicky but take the red usb and plug it into an wall adapter. Then plug in the little L shape usb-c. If connecting to a phone and u bought the extra usb-c plug that into the tablet then into the phone. (Please note: you MUST buy their usb-c specifically, regular usb-c from just anywhere, will not work).
Just remember the tablet needs a power source to be able to turn on, the black usb is NOT a power source when plugging into a computer, the red usb is meant to be plugged into a power source (an adapter). Does not have to be a fancy expensive one, just one that is strong enough to power the tablet itself
Get the samsung Tablet s6 lite it is cheap and doesn’t need to be connected to a computer
Can a left handed artist like me use this
Of Course! It Will Be Easy For Sure. Trust Me.
If it works on Windows, Mac, and Android then might it work on a Raspberry Pi? Pi computers use a Linux OS which is akin to both Mac and Android.
It does work on Linux so in theory yes if you are down to tinker a bit. I've been trying to get this to work on the Steam Deck for a future video and that Linux.
thinking the same thing, if it's work, well, there would be pc on the go with drawing display. that would be soooo great!
@@mukagedek4010 well it might not be pc on the go but hook it up to android... power it with 16000 mah powerbank and you have your drawing station for on the go.
thats what im doing with kamvas 13
I think its kind of a game of luck... because I don't have that wobbliness with my pen. I got the artist 16 2nd gen though... But the pen should technically be mostly the same...
can it connect to phones ?
android who has desktopmode
I'm a person who prefers small gestures and overcome the hell called carpal tunnel syndrome, and I think this tablet is good for me :)
If it's to go below 13 inches ... just get a simpler model without screen
I wish there was a display tablet without a power socket, so this is the only option.
I believe they are ok and I might be wrong but do you remember one of your drawings that was like a werewolf.....🤔?
I'm just saying 😅.
What’s the recommended bare minimum options of both screen tablets and no display? aka best value option. Been having the itch to get into digital drawing, but don’t know where to start.
I really like my huion hs611. Good middle of the road size and plenty of programmable shortcut buttons. I like the wheel thing too for zooming in and out and rotating my canvas. $60-80 depending on the sale
Hard to say. Huion is the best cheap option right now, because xp-pen makes wobbly lines. You can choose the 13 inch version for really cheap, but if you are a traditional artist who wants to go digital, I would recommend the 16 inch one. 13 inch is managable, pretty good, but the 16 inch is the sweet spot between size and price.
@@ajtatosmano2 are XP pen really that bad? I read many positive reviews but now I'm doubtful
@@InTwilight Only their newer stuff has the wobble that Brad mentioned in this video as well. You can decide for yourself. I only like to use a very light stabilizer, but if you are fine with a little stronger, then it's okay. Or if you do vector art mainly it's perfectly fine. Also, their customer support is said to be a little better than Huion's.
For screenless, most people started with small ones (6.0 x 3.7 inch) like the Intuos Small or Huion HS64 but imo I highly recommend paying a bit more for a medium size (usually 10 x 6.25 inch) like the Huion HS610 or H610X (among many others, Huion makes a LOT under the "medium" size) since those cause less strain for your wrist + is much more ergonomic, plus it's much more natural as its the closest size to an A4 paper.
