This hit all points I've been wondering between the brands. Love how you just go right into the details and be entertaining with that great editing. Excellent review, happily subbed! :)
I know this is months later, but you should set your display settings on any 4k tablet that is less than 27" to 200% "text, app size". World of a difference and you keep the 4k :D
Subscribed! This is one of the better videos showcasing the 2 products but I like that you took the time and energy to cut to close ups of the part you're talking about which a lot of reviewers don't care to do, even with an awesome camera/lighting rig but they just stay stuck to one or two tripod shots with the occasional stock product showcase. Subscribed just for that and the great comparison point! Thanks and keep em coming!
Thanks so much for this, and I appreciate the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for my next videos. It takes a little longer to shoot, but I think it's worth it and I'm glad you agree!
Hey Taylor, thanks for yr review. I have the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (4k) Plus version and I'm only a beginner in this area and so far I am very happy with it, but like you mentioned I haven't used a Wacom, in NZ we can't get the Wacom 16 4k, but the Wacom Pro 24, 4k is $4600, so the Kamvas Pro 16 4k is a great starting point. For me, learning to paint digitally has really opened my eyes to the possibilities, I wish I had done it a lot earlier. I am using it to learn to paint Landscapes, the colours are really nice, it's well built, no gaps, or squeaks etc, it's very thin and it has the IPS Fully Laminated screen with etching for anti-glare and works well in my area. The Pen feels great and the response is fast and I can not see any Parallax at all, and Pen Pressure feels and looks consistent. I use the USB-C cable from Display into my Video card USB-C. One thing is strange to me and that is it came with HDCP turned off, and I thought that was compulsory, and the weird thing is that there is no way to enable it that I can find, either on the Kamvas or on my Nvidia RTX video card that I can find, and nvidia support are looking at that. So overall I am really happy with it as my first Pen Display. Thanks, Cheers Kev
Wow $4,600?? That is some crazy mark up! It's good to hear you also enjoy the Kamvas Pro 16, it really is an awesome tablet for the price. The colors on the Plus version are probably really helpful for digital painting (I'm starting to get into this too, and I can see how having a really good color range is important). That's interesting about the HDCP, I didn't realize that and had to look it up to learn more. One thing I wonder is if the type of cable you're using supports it -- I've found that it's almost completely dumb luck how successful USB-C cables are when it comes to transmitting video data. I've used cables that are supposed to be able to carry 4k signal, but for some reason only gave me 1080p 🤷. Thanks for watching!
watched a couple of your vids now, making insomniac decisions of which tablet to buy. it’s 2:44 am.. just subbed. here’s to a weird timed notifications and your internet fame 👑
I knew having that baby would pay off some day 😁. Thanks so much, you won't regret it. They're really my main reason for doing anything in life, so I figured it would be good to include them.
This was very helpful! Thank you. I'm a scientist trying to do illustrations to communicate research results - not an official card-carrying artist, but someone who is trying to develop my computer drawing skills. Your analysis helps me with the decision on my leap from mouse to drawing screen. Your 3-D drawings are fantastic! Watching you work on those is inspirational (I'm a geologist/geochemist, so 3-D visualization is huge for me). I'll watch your Draw Along videos next. Thank you!
Please release the 24" vs 16" video immediatly. This is indeed my next question. Great videos by the way! I enjoy your storytelling, and honestly these are some of the best reviews on the subject, and I've more or less seen them all at this point.
Okay I was really hoping to finish that video so that it would seem like magic when I commented with a link to it, but after a week has passed I feel bad about not responding. So when I add that comment, just pretend like you didn't see this and the magic happened 🧙♂️
@@TaylorStine Not to add to your woes, but in that week I actually managed to buy the XP Pen Artist 24 Pro, and it's now installed and sitting on my desk 😬 Looking forward to your video still though. So far I feel like the size is awesome if I can just figure out how to arrange my monitors (I have 2 + the tablet). I could definetly have survived with a smaller one, but I still think 16" would be too small.
@@chrisrakkestad I'm glad you pulled the trigger! It's okay I'll just pretend like my figure video played a big role 😃. The bigger size is really nice, especially if you're working for hours at a time. I support your choice 👍
@@TaylorStine Today I reorganised my office to do some music production, and I put the display flat and put all the faders on it. Looked sick, and my office suddenly felt like a real studio, hehe
I must say ..... i never thought that a review of such expensive products could look this just and objective. Maybe it is the direct comparison between them in a single video , or the "no brand deal" .. splendid work thanks a lot. ( Also wish you the beat with your family )
Thanks for the pen taste test! It's a part that's always overlooked in other reviews. My cats want to sincerely thank your very professional taste tester for the input!
@@TaylorStine Exactly! And you should not be afraid to bring in the experts if you don't know how to evaluate a variable! Of course keeping all the necessary safety precautions, because those professional taste testers are sometimes too eager to do their job! My cats and I will be waiting for more of your thorough reviews! 👍
Man, i'am on youtube about.. maybe 10 years? And your videos really different. Yes, there is a Brad Colbow and his rewievs, but its nothing compere to your few videos where u actually buy tech fir your own money and compere them side by side as the professional (yes i think u are professional). Its very good to have you on youtube!
This meant a lot to me, thanks so much for saying this. I made it so people would enjoy it, and I'm so glad you did. More to come! (but now that my little girl can physically outmaneuver me, not as frequently as I would like :P )
Love the discussion of these new tablet. I have the Cintiq 24 HD (2014) and, while pretty good, it's MASSIVE! It's actually *32* inches across despite the screen being 24. It's heavy too. I've been thinking of the Wacom 22 as a replacement but your last video def changed my tune quickly! Was curious on the Huion 16 4K ver but your XP-Pen 24 thoughts have also got me intrigued. I hope you make more tablet discussion videos that feel real and genuine like these, they are very helpful and really straight to the point.
So happy I helped! It's a tough choice between the Huion/XP Pen. I will say this- I absolutely loved the fact that I could keep the 16" Kamvas on my desk without it taking up the whole thing. The 24 inch Cintiq pro really isn't practical for the size desk I have, and while I'm doing my "real" job it's just unused space.
@@Gojira439 oh wow I didn't know that tablet had the etched glass. Looking at the website it looks really high quality. That's interesting, I might need to do a review to see if it rivals the Cintiq pro. Good tip!💙
I've been stuck for so long trying to navigate the reviews of these brands and cut through the fluff! The grounded perspective of wanting to pay for quality but not to OVERPAY for a brand name is really helpful. +1 Subscriber :D
You read my mind (or the comments of other people who saw your previous video before me, whatevs)! I have heard pretty mixed things about the Huion drivers but you didn't seem to have any problems which is good. I guess it will be down to which tablet is the best price at the time if/when I eventually make the jump to a display tablet. Thanks again!
Great review. Any tablet that doesn't have one of those dreadful capacitive touch command bars (or any superfluous buttons) is already a winner in my book. By the way, XP-Pen just released a very similar 4K tablet (the Artist Pro 16TP,) so I'd be interested in seeing your take on that.
Happy to help! I agree I just never use those buttons (and don't even get me started on touch based buttons 🙄. Oh wow I didn't even see that, great tip! I'll check it out.
Hi to your happy family! Thank you for the videos! I keep watching your videos but still can't decide. But your baby's so cute and enjoy watching them just so.
I'm happy you're enjoying them! I have a review coming out for the Kamvas 24" 4k -- you might want to consider that tablet. I really like it and it saves you a little money from the Cintiq Pro. I know it's tough! And thank you 👶, she's quite the firecracker.
I love so much that picking between huion and xp pen at this point has become "I mean, which one do you think /looks better/? cause they're practically the same :^"
It is pretty great to have more options out there than just Wacom -- I'm looking forward to see what new tablets these companies release to see if one edges ahead of the other.
Hi, thanks for this review :) I was wondering about the latency. On other review, it looks pretty high. As you didn't mentioned it, I assumed it didn't bother you. But in my experience, latency play a big part on comfort and "real drawing on paper" feel.
I just double checked, and didn't experience any latency. But I'm wondering if this is a result of the system that the tablet is being used on -- if I use a huge canvas size or sculpt on a model with a ton of verts I do notice that there is a little lag. The chainsaw model in this video started to get really big by the end, but I still didn't see any lag.
Glad to hear that bro! I am not even an artist but I support you! I just recently bought an XP-Pen Deco 01 V2 to annotate easily PDF and other documents. Hope you and your family are doing fine. Looking forward to all future cool stuff in your channel! :)
Much appreciated! That's funny you say that -- I've actually been doing something similar with the Kamvas Pro. I did a hand drawn diagram and everyone at work lost their minds they couldn't fathom how I did it. I like that use case! The Deco 01 V2 would be great for that.
Love the way you give the pertinent info for comparison. My Cintiq 24" just died and I was dreading spending $2000 to replace it. It was too big on my desktop anyway.
Glad you enjoyed! I've seen enough terrible corporate power points to know that giving the right info up front is key 😄. The desk real estate is a real concern. Right now I'm typing this leaning over my 24" tablet and it's such a pain. With the 16" all of that magically disappears. I'd love to know what you end up with!
Very interesting review with creative ideas, i especially like the part comparing the price with real bucks, already subscribed，looking forward to your more videos.
Ciao, I disagree with you only about one thing you said in a previous video...In my opinion you are a great ARTIST! I love your attention in creating all conceptual solid modeling before going deep in details and I believe you will be soon one of the Best. Love your super informative Videos!
I have only watched three videos in this channel but I really love your voice and your side of view, your daughter(right?) and the smile of you beautiful wife. Happy to see happy family! Hope you always have good lucks with your work and your fam! Greetings from Korea
Thank you so much for saying that! And thanks for watching 😊. Yes, that's our little girl, and she's quite a handful but we love it. There's more good stuff to come, but I can't promise she won't be grown up all of a sudden 😅.
First time on your channel, like how you soft sell at the end instead of those blogger asks you to like before even watching the video! I have Huion Kamvas 22 plus, like it so far! The color is important to me since I digital paint on it! I would suggest to indicate why pay more since some of the tablet out there, the colors are off!
Thank you!! Glad you stopped by (and I agree with the up front sells 😋). That's a great point and something I really should have addressed (I don't do as much digital painting right now but plan to in the future). I'm wondering if the Kamavs Pro Plus would be worth it for the extra color gamut for a digital painter. I'd also love to do some painting on the iPad to see how the colors compare. Great point!
@@TaylorStine yes, I would definitely do a test. I return one of the cheaper model from Huion claim to have high percent on color but it was way off! For those don’t care is fine but hours of painting and finding the color way off, definitely will be waste of time and money on product mean to be productive!
My software library is quite limited, but I did get my xp-pen software to assign different shortcuts to both CSP and MSPaint. I just added another program to the list and it instantly worked. Hardware wise I'm using the 15.6, but it should be all the same. Either way, excellent review/comparison. Absolutely loved the way in which you presented information and showed that, unless you were directly comparing specs, you would never really notice some details. I figure it can be a little too easy to get lost trying to balance out and quantify each and every feature something offers when those numbers might not really translate to any tangible difference. And thank you for elaborating on the 4k resolution. I was in doubt whether to get a 16'' 4k for the extra space with the reduced UI elements or a 22'' 1080 for the increased physical real state, and your take helped me out. I hope a 22'' 1440p display comes out soon.
Oh awesome! Being able to map different shortcuts between programs is so helpful, I'm glad to get a definitive answer that XP-Pen allows this. I've actually had a little trouble with the Wacom software not recognizing some programs (namely ZBrush) but I'm hoping that's just a temporary bug. I'm so happy you enjoyed the format of the review! I work at a place where everyone talks about simple things in a complex way that I can't understand, so I try to avoid giving my viewers the same experience 😁. Glad I could be a helpful part of your decision making!
through out the video i was smiling watching the baby and i couldn't concentrate on what you were saying at all i had to watch the whole video again XD lol . your baby is adorable 😭😭
It worked! 😁 Thanks so much. Now that she's starting to get mobile, we take videos of her and overlay them with Ocarina of Time music, and it's hilarious.
Liked and subbed, so please tell your wife your new life as an internet celebrity is about to start. Regarding the comparison to the Artist Display Pro, I think what is most important to me is that the Kamvas Pro has an etched glass screen vs an anti-glare film. From what I've read about the anti-glare film on the XP-Pen products, it doesn't hold up quite as well over time. I'm leaning toward the Kamvas Pro for that reason. Thanks for making these great comparison videos! Digging the artwork too 👌
Thanks so much! She said "I'm in a meeting with a client" which is her way of saying she's excited. You can definitely feel the difference in the screens too -- I would call the Kamvas Pro more "sturdy" if that makes sense and I liked the way the pen felt better. Happy I could help! I'm glad you enjoy the artwork, because it's getting darker in the next video :) .
Liked and subbed, just curious are u gonna make this a review oriented channel or an artist's channel? (i see u got some gaming stuff too?) Anyways i think that u got some real potential on this platform. Cool vibes, nice voice etc. Hope i see some 5 digit numbers on that sub count next time 😁
I really appreciate that! Good question 😁 I love reviewing things but it's not what I plan to do long term. I mostly work on game related art and assets, so I have some content coming up I'm really excited about that's going to be a mix of art, game development, and play-throughs. And of course the occasional review ☺️. How does that sound? Glad your along for the ride and I appreciate your kind words!
@@TaylorStine Haha that’s awesome, hope you get more of these notifications 👍. I got a Cintiq 22 I use at the office, and planning on getting a new one for myself, to upgrade my old 13HD. Looking for a 16 due to limited desk space, so this review of yours helped. Thanks!
Figure Drawing and Invention by Michael Hampton. I really like the book, but you should definitely check out his UA-cam channel for more context. I also usually have Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist on my desk too.
I do hope you like that notification on your phone. you really helped me being open to more than the overpriced cintyq tablets. this way I am able to save moeny and get a better drawing experience. thank you.
I own an older version of 16’’ Xp-pen drawing monitor. I don’t have much to complain until recent windows update. It worked fine beside the 1080p resolution and all the ui took too much space on 1080p 16’’ screen. The driver hadn’t updated at all after 1 year of my purchasing, and I bought it brand new. The recent windows update kill the driver and customer service told me there is nothing they can do besides ask me to undo the windows update and stop windows update from now on.
Ugh that's so typical -- Windows Updates have trashed my system several times (though I haven't experienced this issue directly). Are you plugging in to your motherboard or directly into your GPU? If the latter maybe a GPU driver update... I've actually had a similar issue when my display wasn't as high res as I thought it should be, and it turned out that the cable I was using wasn't capable of delivering video at that resolution (I think it was a usb-c cable). Once got over my disbelief and switched out the cable for a more expensive one, everything worked 🤷
@@TaylorStine By undo the windows update, I manage to get my drawing monitor back. I am thinking upgrade my drawing screen to a bigger one, because the UI took too much space. I am scared that xp-pen driver might stop working again in short period of time again.
Just started looking again to upgrade my tablet as I've been using a Kamvas 13 for a few years and I appreciate the sincere review! I render my animations in 4k for my channel, but I only have 1080p monitors right now so that upgrade would be great. I also end up putting my pen in my mouth as I fidget so the taste review Is good to hear lol
Glad you enjoyed it! Very interesting, I just checked out a bunch of your animations and they're phenomenal. I can see how the extra level of detail contributes to that style you're going for. Haha you know I do the same thing and I have to say, she knows what she's talking about when it comes to pen flavor 😂
I have a Kamvas 13 myself. I switch between my win 16" laptop and a 13" macbook pro for Sketchbook Pro and Blender. I was recently gifted a simple 47" desk which I probably wouldn't have bought as my space is pretty limited. I can fit most everything on there but it makes me consider getting a proper monitor setup for more screen real estate for game and software dev. I am conflicted between getting an Ultra wide monitor vs upgrading to a much larger pen display to save space. I would love to get a full sized keyboard on there with my mouse, with my 3D spacenav mouse (highly recommend btw), and a drawing pen display. Just wondered how well things worked out in your situation given all the options you were exposed too? Huion now offers two 24" pen displays choices (QHD/4K). Maybe the 4K 16" pro is all that I need but I know I am selling myself short without a bigger screen in combo.
I have a video coming out (once my baby decides to start napping again) that may answer some of these questions. Spoiler alert: I think you'd probably be fine with the 16", depending on how much digital art you do on a daily basis. But if you want a bigger size, there's nothing wrong with going that route. I just got out the tape measure and my desk is 54", so not much bigger than yours (I'm actually a fan of smaller desks so they don't accumulate things). The 24" Cintiq pro takes up a lot of space on the desk, but I don't have a problem moving it to the side when I want to write code. My desk is 33" deep so that's helpful to have the extra space. I also use monitor arms from Amazon so I don't actually have the monitor base sitting on my desk which frees up a ton of room. Also, I've had a full sized mechanical keyboard for most of my life, but I recently switched to a 65% layout and I have to say I love it. I've heard great things about the 3D spacenav mouse, I think you might have pushed me over the edge to get one. Especially now that ZBrush added support with their latest release.
Hi, I really like your review videos. I am also learning digital art and I will buy an Ipad to draw but I have three questions for you. 1. In this video at 3:48 minutes I saw an art book which you were using that seems to be teaching you how to draw the head could you tell me the name of the book so that I can buy it? 2. Is the stand that the drawing tablet comes with comfortable? 3. I want to learn 3D art what programs, books, and computer setup do you recommend?
I'm glad you enjoy them! That's a great choice, I plan on getting an iPad to do just that 😁. 1. The book is called Figure Drawing Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. Phenomenal book, and he has some even better UA-cam content. I've been working though it for almost 3 months now and I still have more to go. 2. Yes it's comfortable. It's simple and it does it's job, I didn't really notice it after a while which is ideal. Plus it's really hand to take on the go. 3. That's a great question -- I'll just come out and say you should use Blender if you're brand new. It's free, feature rich, and there's a ton of quality UA-cam tutorials. If you want to work in industry and are willing to spend money, consider using a combination of ZBrush and Maya, which is what I use. To learn, just start having fun and making "bad" art -- that's how you find your style and learn the software. I've found drawing in 2d is a really good foundation for 3d art (but not at all necessary, since I learned 3d then supplemented with 2d). I haven't actually read any 3d specific books, I've only used online tutorials. Computer setup, I would say just start making art and see how your system handles it, then upgrade as needed. But you'll definitely want a tablet, with or without a screen. You maybe have just motivated my next video, because 3d software is a topic I could discuss for pages 😁.
The plus version costs $70 more and has a much better color gamut, and has a quantum dot display, probably the best display inside of any pen display under $1500 that i'v seen, idk about pen quality tho
@@TaylorStine take it with a grain of salt that iv never actually owned a pen display yet, its just the best advertised color gamut iv seen between huion, xp pen, and wacom. I am currently in the market for a pen display as I am going to be making a game by myself, it will most likely be pixel art style to be more manageable, but I will also use it for enthusiast level art and studying/reading/notetaking. I know 4k is overkill for a pixelart game but I'm more interested in the color gamut.
Edit: I said it has slightly better brightness when I ment contrast (20% better contrast on the plus version to be accurate) and also the plus version (200 nits) is about 10% dimmer than the regular version. (220 nits)
What doesn't feel right to me about 16 inch displays is the cramped vertical space. It's less than on an A4 paper, the medium which I'm used to. I think something like a 19-20 inch tablet would be large enough, without taking too much space on your desk like the 22-24 inch displays My favorite display so far has to be the ipad pro. While it's not as big as I would prefer, it kinda makes up for that in a few significant ways. It's not tied to a computer, and there's no lag or gap between screen and pentip. Also the touch is way more responsive than on any pen monitor. I kinda get this feel that if the folks at Apple put their mind to it, they could easily produce the definitive digital drawing experience in the near future
This is a great point -- the range of motion isn't as comfortable on the 16 inch. If I'm not paying attention, I can end up with "hairier" lines because I tend to favor using my wrist instead of my shoulder. The iPad is on my list to get 😁. I tried one out at the Apple store, and I was surprised how good the quality was. Usually I'm skeptical of Apple -- they make amazing products that last long but obviously come with a premium price -- but the iPad was a delight to use. You may have just convinced me...
I have the Plus version. I really like it. I do not know if it is applicable to all drawing programs, but you can fx scale Rebelle 5, so the tools become a little bigger and make it much easier to use on the the Kamvas 16 pro. The 4K is really good in Rebelle, since the resolution makes it possible to see the nano pixels of the program.
I have noticed something similar with ZBrush -- the UI takes up so much of the screen that using the 4K gives me a lot more space (once I got used to it).
Hi, I loved your review on this tablet! I just wanted to say that I've had the Huion kamvas pro 22 2019 version and the only things I had trouble with was the cables staying in the tablet and the customer service. Would you say this tablet holds up pretty well in terms of the cables staying in the tablet? Did you come across any other problems when you used this tablet after reviewing it? I'm choosing between this one and the artist 16 tp 4k from XP-PEN to buy but don't know which one will do better in the long run..... decisions decisions 🤔
💜 So happy you enjoyed it! Actually this is a good thing to bring up, it wasn't something I mentioned. The connection to the USB-C port isn't the most solid. I wouldn't call it flimsy, but there definitely wasn't a satisfying "click" when I pushed the cable into the port on the tablet. That being said, I haven't had an issue with it falling out, but it doesn't feel like it's the most solid thing in the world (it's actually been yanked while I was moving my desk and stayed attached). I'm racking my brain, but really can't think of anything -- I've really enjoyed using this tablet (check out my newly released video on size suggestion, but other than that this tablet has been amazing). If I'm reaching, I guess the only complaint I might have is I wish the cable was a little longer, but you can just get an extender so it's really not a big deal. That's a really tough call (especially since I haven't directly used the XP-Pen tablet). I will say that I have no second thoughts about buying the Kamvas. And when I was trying out the XP-Pen software and the Huion software, I liked the interface of the Huion software better, especially because it allowed me to easily remap the pen buttons per program (which as I mentioned is huge for me). Honestly, you're probably good either way, but I'd love to know what you go with in the end!
@@TaylorStine Okay, I'll keep that in mind then! I really like the interface of the Huion better than the XP-PEN to be quite honest. Haha yeah, I actually watched and liked the video! the second I saw it was uploaded! I already knew which size I was going to get but the size comparison video is very helpful information for future reference! :D With that being said I'm going to get the XP-PEN and try that out for a week. If I don't like it then it's good to know that I have a second option to fall back on! Thank you for your very helpful feedback! I believe you just gained another friendly follower! :]
Oh yeah 100% I have a video coming out complaining about that actually. The fact that the Huion has a variable tilt stand is really helpful, but when I look straight down at the Cintiq Pro I have it gets rough. I will switch my desk to standing mode, which helps.
I had a XP pen 12 I unfortunately had to sell for rent last year but considering the new 2022 HUION Kamvas Pro 16 2.5K When my tax return comes in. Do you do any giveaways? Im a new sub (single father) and love the content!
Iam confused whether to buy Huion 16" Tablet or Huion 16 pro 2.5k or go for 22" Huion. What difference does it make while working. As I have been using Wacom cintiq 13" HD for the last 12 yrs. I usually work on adobe illustrator and Photoshop. Pls need you expertise. Thanks for the video and your true review
Thanks man that really helps. Any thoughts about having the Huion for now 6 months plus? Any issues? I can't decide between the three you mentioned (in their 16 inch versions). Saw some very nasty reviews on Amazon on the cintic pro 16 about very bad bugs and issues that really made me wonder if I want to take the risk for this price tag. Also your work is incredible and very versatile - Subbed :)
Thanks so much!! So far, so good, nothing too big to report. I've had the drivers freak out sometimes, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I switch with the Cintiq Pro and the drivers hate each other. Amazon reviews are so tough -- whenever I read even one bad one it sours my mood on the product (especially if it's expensive). All I can say is, I haven't had any major issues with the tablets I've tried. I think Wacom has a pretty good return policy, so it may be worth giving that a try if your nervous about it.
@@TaylorStine Thanks for that input. Meanwhile I ended up getting the new Huion Kamvas Pro 13 2.5K. Had some issues with the driver not playing well with Wacom installed drive. But after that got solved, I cant stop crying from happiness. Its my first display tablet and 13Inch is exactly what I needed, because I draw a lot on A4's and in A5 sketchbook so felt right at home with this one. And the whole thing is so thin! And the screen is beautiful, and the pen is a joy. First time im actually enjoying drawing digitally. Another side note, I ran on a 2015 macbook pro and I saw a review of 16inch 4K tablet (cant remember if it was Cintiq or Huin) that shared that weaker machines would struggle with 4K. On my Kamvas 2.5K starts to be a bit laggy and fast circles get a bit of polygon shape. So I use mostly HD res then its smooth as butter. Anyway, just want to share my experience :)
Thanks for sharing! This is good to know, I'm glad everything worked out. It is really refreshing to use the smaller size -- I've been trying to do more traditional media so I've been using my A5 sketchbook more. After a few sessions with that, the smaller tablets just feel right.
I think your review are better compare to other… because you review it not just from technical spesification, but based on the feel of the tablet when you use it for work…
you have a lot of experience with tablets. maybe in the future you will be able to tell in your videos about two things: 1 - pen height and which tablets have the best. 2 - which tablet can completely replace the monitor and mouse, excluding drawing. I am researching the question of how to completely replace the mouse with a graphics tablet and I see several problems: - the pen height is very small and often the cursor just disappears, which is very inconvenient. - wacom's prices are too high, but there are often reviews that say the Chinese alternatives are too low-quality. I would like more reviews with an emphasis not on drawing, but on everyday computer use.
Great feedback! I'd love to answer, but I'm not totally sure what pen height means -- do you mean the the distance the pen needs to be from the screen in order to move the cursor? If so, I haven't really been able to tell a difference between the tablets, it's roughly the same. I do think that Wacom does make the best feeling tablets, but I think they are overpriced. In my experience you get more for your money with an alternative company, but some viewers have left comments that they've experienced technical issues after using the alternatives for a couple of months. If you want to use the tablet as a monitor and the touch pad, you actually might have more luck with a non display tablet like the Wacom Intuous Pro and a separate monitor. Usually the non display tablets function like a big trackpad for mouse movement, and are still really great to use with a pen. I hope that helps!
Haha oh don't worry, there is PLENTY more of that to follow! Who would have thought a 10 month old would be able to cause such chaos 😏. And now that she has teeth... *shivers*.
I'm really having a hard time here. I think a 16inch display would be best for me as I'm just starting to get into digital art and don't want to overwhelm myself (very easy to do as I'm intimidated by lots of things) and don't plan on doing more than 5 hours a day of art like you mentioned in your "What display size should you get" video. I had a huion TABLET (probably Inspiroy H950P or something similar to that) and that was fun except it the cables broke a while back (it was 80$ then so I won't complain too much) and to be honest I want something I can draw directly onto rather than draw on and look at the monitor. ANYWAYS. You mentioned that on this display you can't really see the 4k difference on a 16 inch screen but I don't really care about that. Although it does make me think about the xpen artist pro being 24 inches only being 2k, so that's something to keep in mind incase I decide to upgrade in the future. I don't see the point in buying a 24 inch display if it's not 4k. The other thing that the Inspiroy H950P had is KEYS!!! (favorites were crtl z, b, e, [, ] and zooming in and out) It had express keys and so I'm surprised that pen displays don't have attached keys??? And have a remote?? Or if they do have express keys it's a 24 inch 2k display which doesn't feel like a good compromise to me. I'd rather have 4k and a better drawing experience overall than some keys that I can quit complaining over and just use my keyboard for. I can't find a 16 inch that has keys so I might have to make a compromise and buy this tablet and use my keyboard shortcuts, but it just kind of blows considering I'm spending 800+ for something I personally feel like has something missing to it. Beggar's can't be choosers though, I suppose. I've been doing research and watching a ton of videos (yours included) and think I've settled on this particular display but I'm kind of grumbling that it doesn't have express keys and I KNOW I can just buy the external remote but..... grrrrrrr. Stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen! Why can't there be a 16 inch display that has express keys that is great quality! Okay, okay. I will stop using you as my therapist but I'm sick of companies in general removing aspects that used to come with a product just to sell it separately for a separate price. However, I don't think me gripping in your comments is going to change that. Anyways, thanks for buying all of these tablets and honestly reviewing them and being blunt about what works and what doesn't AND how they compare to one another. Most the time reviewers will be like "It's great!" and don't go into detail about xyz but you did! So thanks again, king! Much respect and hope all goes well for you and yours :)
Laughed at "stop trying to make 'fetch' happen" 🤣. Thanks so much for this comment -- I smiled while reading it because it sounds like my own internal dialog when I was trying to figure this out. I absolutely HATE feeling like I "settled" for something when it's expensive (which is why I have so many Amazon returns..). I felt the same way actually -- I loved having a tablet with express keys on the side (like my original Wacom Intuos), and the first time I saw a video suggesting that you could do without them it blew my mind. One thing that really helped me (and that might help you) is getting a smaller keyboard. I have a Keytron K2 (with cheap PBT keycaps). The smaller size makes it SO much easier to use it while I use my tablet. Plus it works well enough to use as a regular keyboard for work (I'm a software engineer so I'm typing constantly). I'm starting to come around on remotes now that I've taken the time to map out all the key bindings. But they aren't my favorite -- I hate that you have to set up all the bindings and sometimes they have issues (specifically I've had trouble remapping keys for ZBrush with the Wacom tablets, but maybe they'll fix that in the future). Baring that, a lot of the XP-Pen tablets have express keys on the side and they're not too intrusive. That might be what you're looking for.
I was torn between this and the XP-Pen 24... coming from a Cintiq pro which I no longer have access to. The XP Pen was discounted over $300 bucks for no-rush shipping on Amazon... FYI if anyone is shopping (and maybe the Kamvas will be too). Mine ended up costing $585 I'm excited to try it in comparison to the Cintiq... I was ready to pull the trigger on the Wacom again but it was just too painful....
Wow that's a great deal for that tablet, let me know what you think. I had a great experience with both tablets, so I'm eager to see how it feels coming off of using the Cintiq pro.
@@CASMANWHAT much appreciated, made my day! 😅 Thanks for that, I've been saying it "Hoy-on" lately, so now in my next video I'll look like I know what I'm talking about.
@@TaylorStine Black & Yellow!! 😁 The video really did help me decide on what pen display I should get, I’ve been split on it for awhile! Thanks for that!! 👍🏾
Some will take the baby out before they start recording the video and set it up to look neat. But you didn't do that. I love it so much..! that your family members come in. Great, I've subscribed to your channel. :-)
Phew, that is a tough one. If money isn't an object (and just to be clear we're talking about the regular Cintiq not the Cintiq Pro) I would say it depends on what you're using it for. If you're going to be digitally sculpting in Blender or ZBrush, having the extra 4K real-estate would be really helpful to fit all of the UI on the screen. But if you're just drawing, you might be okay with the Cintiq. I have heard rumors of longevity issues with the Huion tablets (but I haven't personally experienced any so it's hard to comment on them). I would probably say go with the Kamvas Pro 16" 4K, or go for the upgrade Cintiq Pro 16, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Cintiq 22 I tried in another video.
Decisions decisions! That's a tough one, I actually have a video coming that should help you decide between a 16 and 22 inch tablet (as soon as my daughter decides to start napping again 😁). If you're considering 4k, if you have the money to spend, it's probably not a bad investment if you get the bigger screen.
I actually haven't tried yet, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible to do. This would be just a software/driver fix for XP-Pen, so if they don't have it implemented now I would be surprised if it isn't fixed in the near future.
@@TaylorStine I ended up getting the Artist 24 Pro and it turns out you can map express keys per application. For my money it feels pretty similar to my older work Cintiq 22HD.
@@sarmy3d oh that's awesome, I have that tablet sitting right behind me in the box that I plan on reviewing. I'm glad you think it's on par with the Cintiq, my hope is that it's even better than the Cintiq Pro 24 😁
Huion is almost perfect to me, the screen is already on par with Wacom or better on some low end tablet display by wacom. The only thing that Huion need to improve is the pen design, I wish Huion make their pen look like Apple Pencil or pointy like wacom... Huion current pen design felt like holding marker pen with big tip.
I want to buy Huion kamvas 16 pro plus 4K but when i Try is with my Laptop Zbrush lags on that When i hot stroke brush load first then start sculpting. My laptop spec (GTX 1050, 16GB RAM, 7th Gen) Although Zbrush works perfectly fine on laptop itself Its has HDMI 1x (4K @ 30Hz) HDMI Can any expert explain me what would be the reason ? Thanks
If you sculpt with the mouse, is there lag in the stroke? How many points are you using on your model? The only thing I've noticed that is sort of weird is if I have Photoshop open and Zbrush open, Zbrush has issues with pressure sensitivity on the tablet. So maybe try closing all other programs first.
Should be noted, especially for those that hold their tablet while using it; this tablet has no shortcut buttons, only an option to get an awkward wireless keyboard chunk with it (for 75$ extra), that is mostly useless, since if you can reach out to touch that thing, you can prob just use your computer keyboard.
@@TaylorStine nope, that'd be awkward, lol.. Just like a large drawing pad. Mostly hold it with my left arm in 'landscape' mode while drawing with my right.
For sure! I'll do a studio tour type thing in the future. Really, I don't do anything fancy -- all I do is put the mic pretty close to my mouth, put on the pop filter and try to speak at my normal voice level. You're not the first person to tell me my mic sounds good, so I need to check to see if there's some setting I have on that I'm not aware of. At one point I bought a really expensive audio set up and I found that it didn't really sound any better than the Blue Yeti, so I sent it back.
Yes, they must have fixed this. I'm able to press the pen buttons while dragging and the modifier key I have the button mapped to will be pressed during the stroke (I can even toggle it on/off in the same stroke). I don't notice any lag when doing this (or anything else), so unless I haven't run into it this must be the case.
@@TaylorStine awesome, because using the kamvas 22 plus with buttons of the pen is a mess. Lags every few strokes. Good to hear you got a healthy tablet. Tried 3 models and two extra pens. This bug is in all of them.
Oh wow really? I wonder if it's a hardware issue that maybe they're fixed in the newer tablets. I'll definitely keep my eyes open to see if I start to notice this.
I got a question regarding the Huion. I own a mobile studio pro 16 prior and typically drew in Clip Studio. When I finally got to using my Huion, I noticed that my stabilizer for my brushes to not really be... Well, stabilized. The strokes felt too quick and I couldn't notice too much of a difference between 0 percent stabilization and 100 percent. Is this an issue for anyone? Is it my windows or my pen pressure setting for the tablet? Some help would be appreciated.
I was always a Clip Studio user, but I switched to Photoshop because for some reason I couldn't explain the brushes felt a little bit off in Clip Studio (sort of hard to put my finger on it). I had this problem with the Cintiq Pro too, so I'm not sure it's tablet specific 🤷♂️
When I turn 4k mode on the 16" it looks so small to me. Some people have pointed out in the comments that using 4k with a scaled up UI works well, but I'm still not sure how that's different from just using a lower resolution display (I assume the scaled 4k gives better pixel interpolation though). I can't be sure since I haven't tested it, but I would assume at the 16" size, the non 4k is still a great tablet.
@@romantia8327 I also have an iPad, and I like it. If you're on the go a lot an iPad is definitely a good call, but I can't do much 3d sculpting with it.
Ohhhh yeahhh big problems. It's hidden behind the movie magic, but when I switch between devices the pressure sensitivity almost never works. Sometimes a restart fixes the problem, but usually I have to unplug one device and reinstalled the drivers which is a total pain. So sometimes filming can take a while 😁.
This hit all points I've been wondering between the brands. Love how you just go right into the details and be entertaining with that great editing. Excellent review, happily subbed! :)
I'm so happy to you liked it! There will be more good stuff to come 😁
your kid is so adorable! I'm so glad we got a taste test, it baffles me how no one's reviewed that yet.
She thought it was vital to include 🤣 thank you!
I know this is months later, but you should set your display settings on any 4k tablet that is less than 27" to 200% "text, app size".
World of a difference and you keep the 4k :D
I've been looking for an advice like this to help me decide with 16 to get
Subscribed! This is one of the better videos showcasing the 2 products but I like that you took the time and energy to cut to close ups of the part you're talking about which a lot of reviewers don't care to do, even with an awesome camera/lighting rig but they just stay stuck to one or two tripod shots with the occasional stock product showcase. Subscribed just for that and the great comparison point!
Thanks and keep em coming!
Thanks so much for this, and I appreciate the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for my next videos. It takes a little longer to shoot, but I think it's worth it and I'm glad you agree!
Okay brother, I'll be your 160th subscriber!!! Hope you guys having a really good day 😊
🥰🥰 thank you!! I'll make sure you don't regret it. My wife loved being woken up early to hear the news 😂
Hey Taylor, thanks for yr review. I have the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (4k) Plus version and I'm only a beginner in this area and so far I am very happy with it, but like you mentioned I haven't used a Wacom, in NZ we can't get the Wacom 16 4k, but the Wacom Pro 24, 4k is $4600, so the Kamvas Pro 16 4k is a great starting point. For me, learning to paint digitally has really opened my eyes to the possibilities, I wish I had done it a lot earlier. I am using it to learn to paint Landscapes, the colours are really nice, it's well built, no gaps, or squeaks etc, it's very thin and it has the IPS Fully Laminated screen with etching for anti-glare and works well in my area. The Pen feels great and the response is fast and I can not see any Parallax at all, and Pen Pressure feels and looks consistent. I use the USB-C cable from Display into my Video card USB-C.
One thing is strange to me and that is it came with HDCP turned off, and I thought that was compulsory, and the weird thing is that there is no way to enable it that I can find, either on the Kamvas or on my Nvidia RTX video card that I can find, and nvidia support are looking at that. So overall I am really happy with it as my first Pen Display. Thanks, Cheers Kev
Wow $4,600?? That is some crazy mark up! It's good to hear you also enjoy the Kamvas Pro 16, it really is an awesome tablet for the price. The colors on the Plus version are probably really helpful for digital painting (I'm starting to get into this too, and I can see how having a really good color range is important).
That's interesting about the HDCP, I didn't realize that and had to look it up to learn more. One thing I wonder is if the type of cable you're using supports it -- I've found that it's almost completely dumb luck how successful USB-C cables are when it comes to transmitting video data. I've used cables that are supposed to be able to carry 4k signal, but for some reason only gave me 1080p 🤷.
Thanks for watching!
watched a couple of your vids now, making insomniac decisions of which tablet to buy. it’s 2:44 am.. just subbed. here’s to a weird timed notifications and your internet fame 👑
Well that makes 2 insomniacs (3:05am). Glad I could help out! Thanks so much 💜
Loved the way you addresed everything! I was dubting wheter subscribing or not, but your wife and child just made my day haha. Kep up the god work
I knew having that baby would pay off some day 😁. Thanks so much, you won't regret it. They're really my main reason for doing anything in life, so I figured it would be good to include them.
I love how wholesome and honest you are. You say it like it is which I very much appreciate. I'm glad you're getting some attention.
This made my day, thanks so much for saying this! 😀 I really appreciate that.
This was very helpful! Thank you. I'm a scientist trying to do illustrations to communicate research results - not an official card-carrying artist, but someone who is trying to develop my computer drawing skills. Your analysis helps me with the decision on my leap from mouse to drawing screen. Your 3-D drawings are fantastic! Watching you work on those is inspirational (I'm a geologist/geochemist, so 3-D visualization is huge for me). I'll watch your Draw Along videos next. Thank you!
Please release the 24" vs 16" video immediatly. This is indeed my next question.
Great videos by the way! I enjoy your storytelling, and honestly these are some of the best reviews on the subject, and I've more or less seen them all at this point.
Okay I was really hoping to finish that video so that it would seem like magic when I commented with a link to it, but after a week has passed I feel bad about not responding. So when I add that comment, just pretend like you didn't see this and the magic happened 🧙♂️
@@TaylorStine Not to add to your woes, but in that week I actually managed to buy the XP Pen Artist 24 Pro, and it's now installed and sitting on my desk 😬 Looking forward to your video still though. So far I feel like the size is awesome if I can just figure out how to arrange my monitors (I have 2 + the tablet). I could definetly have survived with a smaller one, but I still think 16" would be too small.
@@chrisrakkestad I'm glad you pulled the trigger! It's okay I'll just pretend like my figure video played a big role 😃. The bigger size is really nice, especially if you're working for hours at a time. I support your choice 👍
@@TaylorStine Today I reorganised my office to do some music production, and I put the display flat and put all the faders on it. Looked sick, and my office suddenly felt like a real studio, hehe
I must say ..... i never thought that a review of such expensive products could look this just and objective. Maybe it is the direct comparison between them in a single video , or the "no brand deal" .. splendid work thanks a lot. ( Also wish you the beat with your family )
Wow I really appreciate that! I'll make sure all of my videos have that level of quality. Glad you enjoyed it. My family says thanks 😊
Thanks for the pen taste test! It's a part that's always overlooked in other reviews. My cats want to sincerely thank your very professional taste tester for the input!
😹😹😹 you have to really consider all the important variables!
@@TaylorStine Exactly! And you should not be afraid to bring in the experts if you don't know how to evaluate a variable! Of course keeping all the necessary safety precautions, because those professional taste testers are sometimes too eager to do their job! My cats and I will be waiting for more of your thorough reviews! 👍
Man, i'am on youtube about.. maybe 10 years? And your videos really different. Yes, there is a Brad Colbow and his rewievs, but its nothing compere to your few videos where u actually buy tech fir your own money and compere them side by side as the professional (yes i think u are professional). Its very good to have you on youtube!
This meant a lot to me, thanks so much for saying this. I made it so people would enjoy it, and I'm so glad you did. More to come! (but now that my little girl can physically outmaneuver me, not as frequently as I would like :P )
man gotta say i love the way you are g. appreciate how genuine your videos are. subbed
Thank you so much! Glad to have you along.
Great review. What's the name of the anatomy book around 2:54?
Appreciate the review big dogg...ordered the Huion 16 4k plus after my cintiq had that infamous cable issue. Anyways, thanks for the honesty...
🐕🦺
Really love this tablet review series by you ~ keep it up dude ! hopefully you got endorsed by one of them one day !
Love the discussion of these new tablet. I have the Cintiq 24 HD (2014) and, while pretty good, it's MASSIVE! It's actually *32* inches across despite the screen being 24. It's heavy too. I've been thinking of the Wacom 22 as a replacement but your last video def changed my tune quickly! Was curious on the Huion 16 4K ver but your XP-Pen 24 thoughts have also got me intrigued. I hope you make more tablet discussion videos that feel real and genuine like these, they are very helpful and really straight to the point.
So happy I helped! It's a tough choice between the Huion/XP Pen. I will say this- I absolutely loved the fact that I could keep the 16" Kamvas on my desk without it taking up the whole thing. The 24 inch Cintiq pro really isn't practical for the size desk I have, and while I'm doing my "real" job it's just unused space.
@@TaylorStine Nice! Are you considering reviewing the Huion 24 Pro? It seems to be closer to the Cintiq pro 24 due to the etched screen!
@@Gojira439 oh wow I didn't know that tablet had the etched glass. Looking at the website it looks really high quality. That's interesting, I might need to do a review to see if it rivals the Cintiq pro. Good tip!💙
I've been stuck for so long trying to navigate the reviews of these brands and cut through the fluff! The grounded perspective of wanting to pay for quality but not to OVERPAY for a brand name is really helpful. +1 Subscriber :D
Made my day, thank you so much! 😁
came for the review, will be back for the laughs and crispy presentation and excellent speaking voice :)
great job sir
You read my mind (or the comments of other people who saw your previous video before me, whatevs)! I have heard pretty mixed things about the Huion drivers but you didn't seem to have any problems which is good. I guess it will be down to which tablet is the best price at the time if/when I eventually make the jump to a display tablet. Thanks again!
The dedication you put in these videos is amazing
Thank you! Your kind words are much appreciated 😊😊😊
Great review. Any tablet that doesn't have one of those dreadful capacitive touch command bars (or any superfluous buttons) is already a winner in my book. By the way, XP-Pen just released a very similar 4K tablet (the Artist Pro 16TP,) so I'd be interested in seeing your take on that.
Happy to help! I agree I just never use those buttons (and don't even get me started on touch based buttons 🙄. Oh wow I didn't even see that, great tip! I'll check it out.
Don’t even need a new tablet right now but the unboxing with your kid was adorable!!
Thank you! We like her, I think we'll keep her around 😁
Hi to your happy family! Thank you for the videos! I keep watching your videos but still can't decide. But your baby's so cute and enjoy watching them just so.
I'm happy you're enjoying them! I have a review coming out for the Kamvas 24" 4k -- you might want to consider that tablet. I really like it and it saves you a little money from the Cintiq Pro. I know it's tough!
And thank you 👶, she's quite the firecracker.
I love so much that picking between huion and xp pen at this point has become "I mean, which one do you think /looks better/? cause they're practically the same :^"
It is pretty great to have more options out there than just Wacom -- I'm looking forward to see what new tablets these companies release to see if one edges ahead of the other.
Hi, thanks for this review :)
I was wondering about the latency. On other review, it looks pretty high. As you didn't mentioned it, I assumed it didn't bother you. But in my experience, latency play a big part on comfort and "real drawing on paper" feel.
I just double checked, and didn't experience any latency. But I'm wondering if this is a result of the system that the tablet is being used on -- if I use a huge canvas size or sculpt on a model with a ton of verts I do notice that there is a little lag. The chainsaw model in this video started to get really big by the end, but I still didn't see any lag.
@@TaylorStine thanks for taking the time 🙂
I am your 196th subscriber bro!
Keep it up!
It was a long day and I needed to see this 🥰 thanks so much! Got some pretty cool stuff coming soon.
Glad to hear that bro!
I am not even an artist but I support you!
I just recently bought an XP-Pen Deco 01 V2 to annotate easily PDF and other documents.
Hope you and your family are doing fine.
Looking forward to all future cool stuff in your channel! :)
Much appreciated! That's funny you say that -- I've actually been doing something similar with the Kamvas Pro. I did a hand drawn diagram and everyone at work lost their minds they couldn't fathom how I did it. I like that use case! The Deco 01 V2 would be great for that.
Love the way you give the pertinent info for comparison. My Cintiq 24" just died and I was dreading spending $2000 to replace it. It was too big on my desktop anyway.
Glad you enjoyed! I've seen enough terrible corporate power points to know that giving the right info up front is key 😄. The desk real estate is a real concern. Right now I'm typing this leaning over my 24" tablet and it's such a pain. With the 16" all of that magically disappears. I'd love to know what you end up with!
FINALLY! a fair sincere review of drawing tablets for us the non-professional mortals.
😁😁 I'm happy you liked it!

Very interesting review with creative ideas, i especially like the part comparing the price with real bucks, already subscribed，looking forward to your more videos.
Thank you ☺️! It's too easy for me to see numbers on a credit card bill and not realize they translate into actually dollars 💰
Ciao, I disagree with you only about one thing you said in a previous video...In my opinion you are a great ARTIST! I love your attention in creating all conceptual solid modeling before going deep in details and I believe you will be soon one of the Best. Love your super informative Videos!
You’re awesome dude! Another great video.
New fan😃 Kind regards from Norway🇳🇴 and Thanks for the review ✌️
Much appreciated! Norway is on my list of places to visit, I'd love to climb there! Someday....
I have only watched three videos in this channel but I really love your voice and your side of view, your daughter(right?) and the smile of you beautiful wife. Happy to see happy family! Hope you always have good lucks with your work and your fam! Greetings from Korea
Thank you so much for saying that! And thanks for watching 😊. Yes, that's our little girl, and she's quite a handful but we love it. There's more good stuff to come, but I can't promise she won't be grown up all of a sudden 😅.
First time on your channel, like how you soft sell at the end instead of those blogger asks you to like before even watching the video! I have Huion Kamvas 22 plus, like it so far! The color is important to me since I digital paint on it! I would suggest to indicate why pay more since some of the tablet out there, the colors are off!
Thank you!! Glad you stopped by (and I agree with the up front sells 😋). That's a great point and something I really should have addressed (I don't do as much digital painting right now but plan to in the future). I'm wondering if the Kamavs Pro Plus would be worth it for the extra color gamut for a digital painter. I'd also love to do some painting on the iPad to see how the colors compare. Great point!
@@TaylorStine yes, I would definitely do a test. I return one of the cheaper model from Huion claim to have high percent on color but it was way off! For those don’t care is fine but hours of painting and finding the color way off, definitely will be waste of time and money on product mean to be productive!
My software library is quite limited, but I did get my xp-pen software to assign different shortcuts to both CSP and MSPaint. I just added another program to the list and it instantly worked. Hardware wise I'm using the 15.6, but it should be all the same.
Either way, excellent review/comparison. Absolutely loved the way in which you presented information and showed that, unless you were directly comparing specs, you would never really notice some details. I figure it can be a little too easy to get lost trying to balance out and quantify each and every feature something offers when those numbers might not really translate to any tangible difference.
And thank you for elaborating on the 4k resolution. I was in doubt whether to get a 16'' 4k for the extra space with the reduced UI elements or a 22'' 1080 for the increased physical real state, and your take helped me out. I hope a 22'' 1440p display comes out soon.
Oh awesome! Being able to map different shortcuts between programs is so helpful, I'm glad to get a definitive answer that XP-Pen allows this. I've actually had a little trouble with the Wacom software not recognizing some programs (namely ZBrush) but I'm hoping that's just a temporary bug.
I'm so happy you enjoyed the format of the review! I work at a place where everyone talks about simple things in a complex way that I can't understand, so I try to avoid giving my viewers the same experience 😁.
Glad I could be a helpful part of your decision making!
@@TaylorStine Hi please what is the book to used it on the video to drawing?
Thank You

Sir, no need to apologise. You pronounced it correctly. It IS huuiion.
Haha okay good, I nailed it then!
through out the video i was smiling watching the baby and i couldn't concentrate on what you were saying at all i had to watch the whole video again XD lol . your baby is adorable 😭😭
It worked! 😁 Thanks so much. Now that she's starting to get mobile, we take videos of her and overlay them with Ocarina of Time music, and it's hilarious.
Aaaaannnnd subscribed - you should definitely review the new 24 inch huion (4k) that just got announced! I need expert opinions on it!
Yay, thank you! I think I'm going to have to 😁, I'm also so curious after looking at the specs how it performs.
Subscribed and like video! Fantastic content. Greetings from Spain. Thanks 😊
👋👋 Happy to have you along!
Liked and subbed, so please tell your wife your new life as an internet celebrity is about to start.
Regarding the comparison to the Artist Display Pro, I think what is most important to me is that the Kamvas Pro has an etched glass screen vs an anti-glare film. From what I've read about the anti-glare film on the XP-Pen products, it doesn't hold up quite as well over time. I'm leaning toward the Kamvas Pro for that reason.
Thanks for making these great comparison videos! Digging the artwork too 👌
Thanks so much! She said "I'm in a meeting with a client" which is her way of saying she's excited.
You can definitely feel the difference in the screens too -- I would call the Kamvas Pro more "sturdy" if that makes sense and I liked the way the pen felt better. Happy I could help! I'm glad you enjoy the artwork, because it's getting darker in the next video :) .
I really enjoy your videos and I am still a little confused on what would be great for me, though. But your videos have helped a lot .
Happy I could help! It's a tough purchase to make, I've been there 😔
Nice video. I am a cintiq 16 pro user and I am switching to huion 24 pro 4k due to bigger screen size. I hope it is as good as my cintiq.
Liked and subbed, just curious are u gonna make this a review oriented channel or an artist's channel? (i see u got some gaming stuff too?) Anyways i think that u got some real potential on this platform. Cool vibes, nice voice etc. Hope i see some 5 digit numbers on that sub count next time 😁
I really appreciate that! Good question 😁 I love reviewing things but it's not what I plan to do long term. I mostly work on game related art and assets, so I have some content coming up I'm really excited about that's going to be a mix of art, game development, and play-throughs. And of course the occasional review ☺️. How does that sound?
Glad your along for the ride and I appreciate your kind words!
Great video man really appreciate the info
Subscribed to get that bright spot up. Excellent review!
Is this better than the Cintiq 22?
😁😁 my wife was on a video call when I saw the notification, so now everyone at her work knows you subscribed too
@@jeebishak yes definitely, I thought the Cintiq 22 felt cheap by comparison and the display wasn't as good (on the Cintiq).
@@TaylorStine Haha that’s awesome, hope you get more of these notifications 👍. I got a Cintiq 22 I use at the office, and planning on getting a new one for myself, to upgrade my old 13HD. Looking for a 16 due to limited desk space, so this review of yours helped. Thanks!
Hey great video, thanks.
But what is that for a book at 3:51 ? Looks like I would also want to have one. :D
Figure Drawing and Invention by Michael Hampton. I really like the book, but you should definitely check out his UA-cam channel for more context. I also usually have Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist on my desk too.
@@TaylorStine Thank you very much!
Thank you for the well created video (not a time waster)
Oh and tell your daughter that i'm the new fan
I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊. Haha I'll let her know, being a child star is difficult but she's handling the fame well. Thanks!
Very informative and wholesome. New subscriber :)
❤️
I do hope you like that notification on your phone. you really helped me being open to more than the overpriced cintyq tablets. this way I am able to save moeny and get a better drawing experience. thank you.
This makes me happy to hear. Loved the notification 😁
Well. This was informative and felt wholesome! Going back to school and I want to purchase a decent pen display without getting into more debt.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🤠! Buying new gear for school is always fun. I'd love to know what you end up with 🙂
I own an older version of 16’’ Xp-pen drawing monitor. I don’t have much to complain until recent windows update. It worked fine beside the 1080p resolution and all the ui took too much space on 1080p 16’’ screen. The driver hadn’t updated at all after 1 year of my purchasing, and I bought it brand new. The recent windows update kill the driver and customer service told me there is nothing they can do besides ask me to undo the windows update and stop windows update from now on.
Ugh that's so typical -- Windows Updates have trashed my system several times (though I haven't experienced this issue directly). Are you plugging in to your motherboard or directly into your GPU? If the latter maybe a GPU driver update...
I've actually had a similar issue when my display wasn't as high res as I thought it should be, and it turned out that the cable I was using wasn't capable of delivering video at that resolution (I think it was a usb-c cable). Once got over my disbelief and switched out the cable for a more expensive one, everything worked 🤷
@@TaylorStine By undo the windows update, I manage to get my drawing monitor back. I am thinking upgrade my drawing screen to a bigger one, because the UI took too much space. I am scared that xp-pen driver might stop working again in short period of time again.
thank you for this video, really helped thank you
Just started looking again to upgrade my tablet as I've been using a Kamvas 13 for a few years and I appreciate the sincere review!
I render my animations in 4k for my channel, but I only have 1080p monitors right now so that upgrade would be great.
I also end up putting my pen in my mouth as I fidget so the taste review Is good to hear lol
Glad you enjoyed it! Very interesting, I just checked out a bunch of your animations and they're phenomenal. I can see how the extra level of detail contributes to that style you're going for.
Haha you know I do the same thing and I have to say, she knows what she's talking about when it comes to pen flavor 😂
Stayed for the end and it was worth it
I have a Kamvas 13 myself. I switch between my win 16" laptop and a 13" macbook pro for Sketchbook Pro and Blender. I was recently gifted a simple 47" desk which I probably wouldn't have bought as my space is pretty limited. I can fit most everything on there but it makes me consider getting a proper monitor setup for more screen real estate for game and software dev. I am conflicted between getting an Ultra wide monitor vs upgrading to a much larger pen display to save space. I would love to get a full sized keyboard on there with my mouse, with my 3D spacenav mouse (highly recommend btw), and a drawing pen display. Just wondered how well things worked out in your situation given all the options you were exposed too? Huion now offers two 24" pen displays choices (QHD/4K). Maybe the 4K 16" pro is all that I need but I know I am selling myself short without a bigger screen in combo.
I have a video coming out (once my baby decides to start napping again) that may answer some of these questions. Spoiler alert: I think you'd probably be fine with the 16", depending on how much digital art you do on a daily basis. But if you want a bigger size, there's nothing wrong with going that route.
I just got out the tape measure and my desk is 54", so not much bigger than yours (I'm actually a fan of smaller desks so they don't accumulate things). The 24" Cintiq pro takes up a lot of space on the desk, but I don't have a problem moving it to the side when I want to write code. My desk is 33" deep so that's helpful to have the extra space.
I also use monitor arms from Amazon so I don't actually have the monitor base sitting on my desk which frees up a ton of room. Also, I've had a full sized mechanical keyboard for most of my life, but I recently switched to a 65% layout and I have to say I love it.
I've heard great things about the 3D spacenav mouse, I think you might have pushed me over the edge to get one. Especially now that ZBrush added support with their latest release.
Hi, I really like your review videos. I am also learning digital art and I will buy an Ipad to draw but I have three questions for you.
1. In this video at 3:48 minutes I saw an art book which you were using that seems to be teaching you how to draw the head could you tell me the name of the book so that I can buy it?
2. Is the stand that the drawing tablet comes with comfortable?
3. I want to learn 3D art what programs, books, and computer setup do you recommend?
I'm glad you enjoy them! That's a great choice, I plan on getting an iPad to do just that 😁.
1. The book is called Figure Drawing Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. Phenomenal book, and he has some even better UA-cam content. I've been working though it for almost 3 months now and I still have more to go.
2. Yes it's comfortable. It's simple and it does it's job, I didn't really notice it after a while which is ideal. Plus it's really hand to take on the go.
3. That's a great question -- I'll just come out and say you should use Blender if you're brand new. It's free, feature rich, and there's a ton of quality UA-cam tutorials. If you want to work in industry and are willing to spend money, consider using a combination of ZBrush and Maya, which is what I use. To learn, just start having fun and making "bad" art -- that's how you find your style and learn the software. I've found drawing in 2d is a really good foundation for 3d art (but not at all necessary, since I learned 3d then supplemented with 2d). I haven't actually read any 3d specific books, I've only used online tutorials. Computer setup, I would say just start making art and see how your system handles it, then upgrade as needed. But you'll definitely want a tablet, with or without a screen.
You maybe have just motivated my next video, because 3d software is a topic I could discuss for pages 😁.
The plus version costs $70 more and has a much better color gamut, and has a quantum dot display, probably the best display inside of any pen display under $1500 that i'v seen, idk about pen quality tho
Wow good tip, maybe I'll have to try that one out next. Sounds like it's worth the extra upgrade!
@@TaylorStine take it with a grain of salt that iv never actually owned a pen display yet, its just the best advertised color gamut iv seen between huion, xp pen, and wacom. I am currently in the market for a pen display as I am going to be making a game by myself, it will most likely be pixel art style to be more manageable, but I will also use it for enthusiast level art and studying/reading/notetaking. I know 4k is overkill for a pixelart game but I'm more interested in the color gamut.
Edit: I said it has slightly better brightness when I ment contrast (20% better contrast on the plus version to be accurate) and also the plus version (200 nits) is about 10% dimmer than the regular version. (220 nits)
What doesn't feel right to me about 16 inch displays is the cramped vertical space. It's less than on an A4 paper, the medium which I'm used to. I think something like a 19-20 inch tablet would be large enough, without taking too much space on your desk like the 22-24 inch displays
My favorite display so far has to be the ipad pro. While it's not as big as I would prefer, it kinda makes up for that in a few significant ways. It's not tied to a computer, and there's no lag or gap between screen and pentip. Also the touch is way more responsive than on any pen monitor. I kinda get this feel that if the folks at Apple put their mind to it, they could easily produce the definitive digital drawing experience in the near future
This is a great point -- the range of motion isn't as comfortable on the 16 inch. If I'm not paying attention, I can end up with "hairier" lines because I tend to favor using my wrist instead of my shoulder.
The iPad is on my list to get 😁. I tried one out at the Apple store, and I was surprised how good the quality was. Usually I'm skeptical of Apple -- they make amazing products that last long but obviously come with a premium price -- but the iPad was a delight to use. You may have just convinced me...
I have the Plus version. I really like it. I do not know if it is applicable to all drawing programs, but you can fx scale Rebelle 5, so the tools become a little bigger and make it much easier to use on the the Kamvas 16 pro. The 4K is really good in Rebelle, since the resolution makes it possible to see the nano pixels of the program.
I have noticed something similar with ZBrush -- the UI takes up so much of the screen that using the 4K gives me a lot more space (once I got used to it).
Hi, I loved your review on this tablet!
I just wanted to say that I've had the Huion kamvas pro 22 2019 version and the only things I had trouble with was the cables staying in the tablet and the customer service. Would you say this tablet holds up pretty well in terms of the cables staying in the tablet?
Did you come across any other problems when you used this tablet after reviewing it?
I'm choosing between this one and the artist 16 tp 4k from XP-PEN to buy but don't know which one will do better in the long run..... decisions decisions 🤔
💜 So happy you enjoyed it! Actually this is a good thing to bring up, it wasn't something I mentioned. The connection to the USB-C port isn't the most solid. I wouldn't call it flimsy, but there definitely wasn't a satisfying "click" when I pushed the cable into the port on the tablet. That being said, I haven't had an issue with it falling out, but it doesn't feel like it's the most solid thing in the world (it's actually been yanked while I was moving my desk and stayed attached).
I'm racking my brain, but really can't think of anything -- I've really enjoyed using this tablet (check out my newly released video on size suggestion, but other than that this tablet has been amazing). If I'm reaching, I guess the only complaint I might have is I wish the cable was a little longer, but you can just get an extender so it's really not a big deal.
That's a really tough call (especially since I haven't directly used the XP-Pen tablet). I will say that I have no second thoughts about buying the Kamvas. And when I was trying out the XP-Pen software and the Huion software, I liked the interface of the Huion software better, especially because it allowed me to easily remap the pen buttons per program (which as I mentioned is huge for me).
Honestly, you're probably good either way, but I'd love to know what you go with in the end!
@@TaylorStine
Okay, I'll keep that in mind then!
I really like the interface of the Huion better than the XP-PEN to be quite honest. Haha yeah, I actually watched and liked the video! the second I saw it was uploaded! I already knew which size I was going to get but the size comparison video is very helpful information for future reference! :D
With that being said I'm going to get the XP-PEN and try that out for a week. If I don't like it then it's good to know that I have a second option to fall back on!
Thank you for your very helpful feedback! I believe you just gained another friendly follower! :]
@@justGrem000 I think that's a great call. Thanks for your support, so happy to have you along! 😁
Completely off topic, but do you ever run into neck issues when you draw looking down at your display?
Oh yeah 100% I have a video coming out complaining about that actually. The fact that the Huion has a variable tilt stand is really helpful, but when I look straight down at the Cintiq Pro I have it gets rough. I will switch my desk to standing mode, which helps.
Came for the review, stayed for the kid cuteness.
Maybe I’m biased, but I have to agree, she’s really something 😁. Thanks for stopping by!
You should definitely try out some of huions new felt nibs, they add a bit more texture and feel alot better imo
Okay ordered 🙂. Thanks for the tip!
@@TaylorStine No prob!
I had a XP pen 12 I unfortunately had to sell for rent last year but considering the new 2022 HUION Kamvas Pro 16 2.5K When my tax return comes in. Do you do any giveaways? Im a new sub (single father) and love the content!
Very usefull review.Thanks!Grtz Belgium
Glad it was helpful!
Digging the ten keyless keyboard!
😁😁😁
Would there be a problem with the Full HD one? Just the base model I guess? I'm not an artist, I just don't know about getting a screenless one.
Iam confused whether to buy Huion 16" Tablet or Huion 16 pro 2.5k or go for 22" Huion. What difference does it make while working. As I have been using Wacom cintiq 13" HD for the last 12 yrs. I usually work on adobe illustrator and Photoshop. Pls need you expertise. Thanks for the video and your true review
Nice vídeo broh. Congrulations
Thanks man that really helps. Any thoughts about having the Huion for now 6 months plus? Any issues?
I can't decide between the three you mentioned (in their 16 inch versions). Saw some very nasty reviews
on Amazon on the cintic pro 16 about very bad bugs and issues that really made me wonder if I want to take the
risk for this price tag.
Also your work is incredible and very versatile - Subbed :)
Thanks so much!! So far, so good, nothing too big to report. I've had the drivers freak out sometimes, but I think that has more to do with the fact that I switch with the Cintiq Pro and the drivers hate each other.
Amazon reviews are so tough -- whenever I read even one bad one it sours my mood on the product (especially if it's expensive). All I can say is, I haven't had any major issues with the tablets I've tried. I think Wacom has a pretty good return policy, so it may be worth giving that a try if your nervous about it.
@@TaylorStine Thanks for that input. Meanwhile I ended up getting the new Huion Kamvas Pro 13 2.5K.
Had some issues with the driver not playing well with Wacom installed drive.
But after that got solved, I cant stop crying from happiness. Its my first display tablet and 13Inch is exactly what I needed, because I draw a lot on A4's and in A5 sketchbook so felt right at home with this one.
And the whole thing is so thin! And the screen is beautiful, and the pen is a joy.
First time im actually enjoying drawing digitally.
Another side note, I ran on a 2015 macbook pro and I saw a review of 16inch 4K tablet (cant remember if it was Cintiq or Huin) that shared that weaker machines would struggle with 4K. On my Kamvas 2.5K starts to be a bit laggy and fast circles get a bit of polygon shape.
So I use mostly HD res then its smooth as butter.
Anyway, just want to share my experience :)
Thanks for sharing! This is good to know, I'm glad everything worked out. It is really refreshing to use the smaller size -- I've been trying to do more traditional media so I've been using my A5 sketchbook more. After a few sessions with that, the smaller tablets just feel right.
@@TaylorStine yep, and if you hold yourself from zooming or moving the canvas its basically traditional
I think your review are better compare to other… because you review it not just from technical spesification, but based on the feel of the tablet when you use it for work…
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
you have a lot of experience with tablets.
maybe in the future you will be able to tell in your videos about two things:
1 - pen height and which tablets have the best.
2 - which tablet can completely replace the monitor and mouse, excluding drawing.
I am researching the question of how to completely replace the mouse with a graphics tablet and I see several problems:
- the pen height is very small and often the cursor just disappears, which is very inconvenient.
- wacom's prices are too high, but there are often reviews that say the Chinese alternatives are too low-quality.
I would like more reviews with an emphasis not on drawing, but on everyday computer use.
Great feedback! I'd love to answer, but I'm not totally sure what pen height means -- do you mean the the distance the pen needs to be from the screen in order to move the cursor? If so, I haven't really been able to tell a difference between the tablets, it's roughly the same.
I do think that Wacom does make the best feeling tablets, but I think they are overpriced. In my experience you get more for your money with an alternative company, but some viewers have left comments that they've experienced technical issues after using the alternatives for a couple of months.
If you want to use the tablet as a monitor and the touch pad, you actually might have more luck with a non display tablet like the Wacom Intuous Pro and a separate monitor. Usually the non display tablets function like a big trackpad for mouse movement, and are still really great to use with a pen.
I hope that helps!
May I ask a question? Is there a noise texture( "pixilation")on the screen? I heard, that it can be caused by the glass
Not that I've been able to see, the display is pretty crisp.
@@TaylorStine oh, thanks, glad to hear
He's videos are really nice but lets be honest. We all subbed just to see the baby sabotage the videos. 😂❤️
Haha oh don't worry, there is PLENTY more of that to follow! Who would have thought a 10 month old would be able to cause such chaos 😏. And now that she has teeth... *shivers*.
I'm really having a hard time here. I think a 16inch display would be best for me as I'm just starting to get into digital art and don't want to overwhelm myself (very easy to do as I'm intimidated by lots of things) and don't plan on doing more than 5 hours a day of art like you mentioned in your "What display size should you get" video. I had a huion TABLET (probably Inspiroy H950P or something similar to that) and that was fun except it the cables broke a while back (it was 80$ then so I won't complain too much) and to be honest I want something I can draw directly onto rather than draw on and look at the monitor. ANYWAYS. You mentioned that on this display you can't really see the 4k difference on a 16 inch screen but I don't really care about that. Although it does make me think about the xpen artist pro being 24 inches only being 2k, so that's something to keep in mind incase I decide to upgrade in the future. I don't see the point in buying a 24 inch display if it's not 4k. The other thing that the Inspiroy H950P had is KEYS!!! (favorites were crtl z, b, e, [, ] and zooming in and out) It had express keys and so I'm surprised that pen displays don't have attached keys??? And have a remote?? Or if they do have express keys it's a 24 inch 2k display which doesn't feel like a good compromise to me. I'd rather have 4k and a better drawing experience overall than some keys that I can quit complaining over and just use my keyboard for. I can't find a 16 inch that has keys so I might have to make a compromise and buy this tablet and use my keyboard shortcuts, but it just kind of blows considering I'm spending 800+ for something I personally feel like has something missing to it. Beggar's can't be choosers though, I suppose. I've been doing research and watching a ton of videos (yours included) and think I've settled on this particular display but I'm kind of grumbling that it doesn't have express keys and I KNOW I can just buy the external remote but..... grrrrrrr. Stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen! Why can't there be a 16 inch display that has express keys that is great quality! Okay, okay. I will stop using you as my therapist but I'm sick of companies in general removing aspects that used to come with a product just to sell it separately for a separate price. However, I don't think me gripping in your comments is going to change that.
Anyways, thanks for buying all of these tablets and honestly reviewing them and being blunt about what works and what doesn't AND how they compare to one another. Most the time reviewers will be like "It's great!" and don't go into detail about xyz but you did! So thanks again, king! Much respect and hope all goes well for you and yours :)
Laughed at "stop trying to make 'fetch' happen" 🤣. Thanks so much for this comment -- I smiled while reading it because it sounds like my own internal dialog when I was trying to figure this out. I absolutely HATE feeling like I "settled" for something when it's expensive (which is why I have so many Amazon returns..).
I felt the same way actually -- I loved having a tablet with express keys on the side (like my original Wacom Intuos), and the first time I saw a video suggesting that you could do without them it blew my mind.
One thing that really helped me (and that might help you) is getting a smaller keyboard. I have a Keytron K2 (with cheap PBT keycaps). The smaller size makes it SO much easier to use it while I use my tablet. Plus it works well enough to use as a regular keyboard for work (I'm a software engineer so I'm typing constantly).
I'm starting to come around on remotes now that I've taken the time to map out all the key bindings. But they aren't my favorite -- I hate that you have to set up all the bindings and sometimes they have issues (specifically I've had trouble remapping keys for ZBrush with the Wacom tablets, but maybe they'll fix that in the future).
Baring that, a lot of the XP-Pen tablets have express keys on the side and they're not too intrusive. That might be what you're looking for.
I was torn between this and the XP-Pen 24... coming from a Cintiq pro which I no longer have access to. The XP Pen was discounted over $300 bucks for no-rush shipping on Amazon... FYI if anyone is shopping (and maybe the Kamvas will be too). Mine ended up costing $585
I'm excited to try it in comparison to the Cintiq... I was ready to pull the trigger on the Wacom again but it was just too painful....
Wow that's a great deal for that tablet, let me know what you think. I had a great experience with both tablets, so I'm eager to see how it feels coming off of using the Cintiq pro.
SUBBED. thanks for the very helpful vid.

Thanks for your support! They make it all worth while ☺️. Plus I can't wrangle that baby even if I try to, she's an escape artist!
money aside - would you recommend the cintiq 16 (thats 1080p) or the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (but its 4k) ?
Phew, that is a tough one. If money isn't an object (and just to be clear we're talking about the regular Cintiq not the Cintiq Pro) I would say it depends on what you're using it for.
If you're going to be digitally sculpting in Blender or ZBrush, having the extra 4K real-estate would be really helpful to fit all of the UI on the screen. But if you're just drawing, you might be okay with the Cintiq. I have heard rumors of longevity issues with the Huion tablets (but I haven't personally experienced any so it's hard to comment on them).
I would probably say go with the Kamvas Pro 16" 4K, or go for the upgrade Cintiq Pro 16, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Cintiq 22 I tried in another video.
Which would you recommend between the huion 4k and the cintiq non pro?
Huion 4k, easy.
Oh no. Now i torn between buying the kamvas 22 plus and this one. I still can't figure out if i want/need 4k display or not.
Decisions decisions! That's a tough one, I actually have a video coming that should help you decide between a 16 and 22 inch tablet (as soon as my daughter decides to start napping again 😁). If you're considering 4k, if you have the money to spend, it's probably not a bad investment if you get the bigger screen.
Had you ever figured out if you can remap the xp pen buttons per application? I thought you could do that.....or is just with the ones on the bezel?
I actually haven't tried yet, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible to do. This would be just a software/driver fix for XP-Pen, so if they don't have it implemented now I would be surprised if it isn't fixed in the near future.
@@TaylorStine I ended up getting the Artist 24 Pro and it turns out you can map express keys per application. For my money it feels pretty similar to my older work Cintiq 22HD.
@@sarmy3d oh that's awesome, I have that tablet sitting right behind me in the box that I plan on reviewing. I'm glad you think it's on par with the Cintiq, my hope is that it's even better than the Cintiq Pro 24 😁
Huion is almost perfect to me, the screen is already on par with Wacom or better on some low end tablet display by wacom. The only thing that Huion need to improve is the pen design, I wish Huion make their pen look like Apple Pencil or pointy like wacom... Huion current pen design felt like holding marker pen with big tip.
I agree, I don't know why they don't make a "pro" pen and charge a bunch of money for it, I would totally buy it.
I want to buy Huion kamvas 16 pro plus 4K but when i Try is with my Laptop Zbrush lags on that When i hot stroke brush load first then start sculpting. My laptop spec (GTX 1050, 16GB RAM, 7th Gen) Although Zbrush works perfectly fine on laptop itself Its has HDMI 1x (4K @ 30Hz) HDMI Can any expert explain me what would be the reason ? Thanks
If you sculpt with the mouse, is there lag in the stroke? How many points are you using on your model?
The only thing I've noticed that is sort of weird is if I have Photoshop open and Zbrush open, Zbrush has issues with pressure sensitivity on the tablet. So maybe try closing all other programs first.
Should be noted, especially for those that hold their tablet while using it; this tablet has no shortcut buttons, only an option to get an awkward wireless keyboard chunk with it (for 75$ extra), that is mostly useless, since if you can reach out to touch that thing, you can prob just use your computer keyboard.
Great call out! Out of curiosity, how are you holding the tablet? Are you standing up while using it?
@@TaylorStine nope, that'd be awkward, lol.. Just like a large drawing pad. Mostly hold it with my left arm in 'landscape' mode while drawing with my right.
@@sizlax haha okay that's what I thought! But you never know, maybe there was a cool technique I was missing out on.
@@TaylorStine yea. I used to stand on one leg while hovering my tablet over my head, and drawing upside down, but then i realised that was dumb.
Like your videos! Your natural 🤟🏻🎼
Thank you!
Can you make a video on how you set up your audio? I have a blue yeti like you and my audio sounds nothing like yours
For sure! I'll do a studio tour type thing in the future. Really, I don't do anything fancy -- all I do is put the mic pretty close to my mouth, put on the pop filter and try to speak at my normal voice level. You're not the first person to tell me my mic sounds good, so I need to check to see if there's some setting I have on that I'm not aware of. At one point I bought a really expensive audio set up and I found that it didn't really sound any better than the Blue Yeti, so I sent it back.
@@TaylorStine Thank you also I looked at your setup list did you really record this video on a webcam?
@@stephon972 yes! Logitech Brio, it's pricey but is pretty high quality.
Did they removed the bug of using shortcuts on pemn buttons at the same time while dragging the pen? They removed the lag?
Yes, they must have fixed this. I'm able to press the pen buttons while dragging and the modifier key I have the button mapped to will be pressed during the stroke (I can even toggle it on/off in the same stroke). I don't notice any lag when doing this (or anything else), so unless I haven't run into it this must be the case.
@@TaylorStine awesome, because using the kamvas 22 plus with buttons of the pen is a mess. Lags every few strokes. Good to hear you got a healthy tablet. Tried 3 models and two extra pens. This bug is in all of them.
Oh wow really? I wonder if it's a hardware issue that maybe they're fixed in the newer tablets. I'll definitely keep my eyes open to see if I start to notice this.
Can you mention your Sketch Guide book?
The book I'm referencing here is Figure Drawing Design and Invention.
I got a question regarding the Huion. I own a mobile studio pro 16 prior and typically drew in Clip Studio.
When I finally got to using my Huion, I noticed that my stabilizer for my brushes to not really be... Well, stabilized. The strokes felt too quick and I couldn't notice too much of a difference between 0 percent stabilization and 100 percent.
Is this an issue for anyone? Is it my windows or my pen pressure setting for the tablet? Some help would be appreciated.
I was always a Clip Studio user, but I switched to Photoshop because for some reason I couldn't explain the brushes felt a little bit off in Clip Studio (sort of hard to put my finger on it). I had this problem with the Cintiq Pro too, so I'm not sure it's tablet specific 🤷♂️
what do you think with the one with no 4k in it?
When I turn 4k mode on the 16" it looks so small to me. Some people have pointed out in the comments that using 4k with a scaled up UI works well, but I'm still not sure how that's different from just using a lower resolution display (I assume the scaled 4k gives better pixel interpolation though). I can't be sure since I haven't tested it, but I would assume at the 16" size, the non 4k is still a great tablet.
@@TaylorStine thanks for the response. Hopefully this will help with my decision. I am still deciding between this and an ipad
@@romantia8327 I also have an iPad, and I like it. If you're on the go a lot an iPad is definitely a good call, but I can't do much 3d sculpting with it.
@@TaylorStine now you making it harder again. Lol
Do you have all brand drivers installed on one computer? I was wondering if that causes any problems
Ohhhh yeahhh big problems. It's hidden behind the movie magic, but when I switch between devices the pressure sensitivity almost never works. Sometimes a restart fixes the problem, but usually I have to unplug one device and reinstalled the drivers which is a total pain.
So sometimes filming can take a while 😁.
@@TaylorStine oh boy, you just made me appreciate these comparison videos of yours way more! thanks for all the information
@@Anheric7 no problem, hopefully it saves you a headache.
