Damn dude Autodesk!? I’m jelly
Bro pls do matebook e review drawing
it should be a name. Usual in the industry
Would you say the Inspiryon Giano ios a lot better than the WH1409(8192)? As I can get the WH1409(8192) for forty dollars.
I remember when regular graphics tablets were for beginners, and pen displays were for "pros" because of how expensive it was. It's good to have options!
What you’re getting is a pro…. Problem on your back.
Also. Totally agree with you, even I’m his own words, the pen tablets were for beginners. Now he suddenly changed and giving nonsensical suggestions just to promote his sponsorships where he gets the bucks. Telling beginners to better buy a tablet display instead of a pen tablet is really not it.
It's still expensive for beginners 🥲
Some people misunderstood his recommendations in this video, I don’t mean you, just to clarify.
I think what he really mean is that, The product he was reviewing which is Huion Giano cost at 200$, the price is close to the most affordable screen display tablets such as Huion Kamvas and Xp-Pen Artist at size 11” and 13” which he mentioned in the video. Just spend about 25$-50$ more, people can get a pen display tablet at size 11” or 13”. Beginners, will likely search for pen display tablet if their budget is around the price of Huion Giano. If people new to digital arts really on tight budget, they will seek for cheaper regular graphic tablet at small to medium size.
@@zect556 true true. went with an android tablet with pen instead (lenovo tab p11 plus with precision pen 2). more mobile because it is its own computer
There's this really big, buff guy in Doraemon his name is Gian or Jian something
Yeah, I thought of him too when I saw the title.
Jian is a pretty good singer as well 😉(buff guy in Doraemon)
Lmao inthought the exact same thing
@@mahmud1019 yeah he started The Voice
Maybe it's Japanese because doremon is an anime
I always love your takes on drawing tablets, Brad. I wanted to clarify one thing . At about 0:44 you mention that the Giano is comparable to Intuos [Pro] Medium which you say "has a slightly smaller drawing area". This understates the difference. The Giano's has 2x the amount of active area of the Intuos Pro Medium and actually has slightly more than the Wacom Intuos Pro Large. Spec below:
Wacom Intuos Pro Medium PTH-660
- Active Area: 51.04 sq in
- Cost: $380
Wacom Intuos Pro Large PTH 860
- Active Area: 103.7 sq in
- Cost: $500
Huion Giano G930L
- Active Area: 115.6 sq in
- Cost: $200
For anyone looking to try a large tablet and want a detailed walkthrough of using one, I recently published a video about my experience with the Wacom Intuos Pro Large that you may find useful in making a purchase decision: ua-cam.com/video/YCmVugc3w_g/v-deo.html
I just want to add that you can go ebay, pick a intuos 4/5 large for 100 bucks today. destroys any fancy pants 32'' 4k cintiq or whatever brand you want to compare. always. Ergonomics are king because your back and neck health matters more, heck, you can even soft the blow on drawing from the arm due to posture if you lay it flat, using minimum effort to draw.
drawing for 6-8 hours 7 days a week, without ended up destroyed. thats what the good ergonomic posture of screenless tablets have. And a Large model allows you to use the arm a lot more than a medium size. The small ones are guaranted 100% wrist killers, those are all bad and carpal tunel makers.
im just gonna say that brad did a terrible job explaining why this device at 200 bucks matters. is not for people who draw casually 2 hours on a saturday, is for those that spend A LOT of time drawing and are at risk of damaging their body overworking.
if you are on a notebook screen, medium size 10x6 is perfect. If you are on a 24'' or bigger, you need large.
I moved from a pen display to a graphic tablet and i don’t regret! Also my back feels a lot better using tablets like these
Which in did you get? I did the same thing, I use my cintiq just for fun when inking sometimes but for actual pieces I use the tablet.
Why your pen tablet is on the table and you look in front of you the screen. There shouldn't be any back pain. Now instead you look little or more, down your graphic tablet.
Giano is Janus in italian, both the roman mythology God and the Saturn´s moon. Besides, Giano is the same name that John in english or Juan in spanish.
I think you would have done the product more justice if you reviewed it with a bigger monitor, where drawing with tiny tablets is just annoying.
How i envision it is that this is probably mostly bought by companies, where they just leave these things on a desk setup, as this doesn't look travel friendly
I remember seeing someone comment on a pen display review who claimed to be a storyboard artist on Rick and Morty and they were saying these large tablets are what industry professionals use; I assumed that meant that the work/in-office setups for most companies was something like this
Correct. I do some IT purchasing and just buy our designers the biggest drawing tablet that they want. It's staying on their desk which has two 27" monitors, via a drawing tablet stand, so who cares how big it is? Their keyboards and mice are Bluetooth, so they can easily move them out of the way when needing to use the tablet. If they need a portable surface, they all have personal iPads with an Apple pencil, and I'm happy if they ask to be reimbursed x dollars for Duet Display or something which enables their iPad to be a touch screen monitor. If we hired one who didn't have an iPad, and they needed a portable display, I'd happily offer a cheap, smaller drawing tablet for on the go use
@@whenhen Whoa, cool! I didn't know all that. Thanks for replying, nice to know more about it!
This tablet is definitely meant for those who *know* they prefer spending on a screenless tablet and want something big/have a large monitor. Probably not an easy recommendation for beginners but it's definitely meant to fill that specific niche for veterans since I know some professionals just stick with screenless tablets because it's what they're comfortable with.
(I know a large reason people still stick to screenless tablets is mainly for the ergonomics and to avoid constant eyestrains from directly at a screen for too long.)
is it me or... if i draw on my screenless tablet im not looking at my hand or the tablet im still looking at the screen
I agree, I thought pen to screen would be better but being able to look straight than down is so much better and easier to see.
another note is that if you have a small table you can't really fit two monitors and a keyboard in front of you and if sometimes your keyboard is always below the pen display and you just keep guessing which button you are pressing, at least that is my experience and will switch back into a screenless tablet.
@@sadev101 Late reply but thats how its supposed to work, its as if youre browsing the net with a mouse and its better for your posture since youre not hunching down like you would with a Cintiq and the likes haha
@@pawpotsRS Good point! I also have a small desk myself and hence why I don't use a screen tablet but I didn't realize a larger screenless tablet def can help in this case!
I have the intuos medium and the cintiq 16 and, I like drawing on the cintiq but I just cant for long periods of time, the intuos allows me for a more comfortable position, and I can work on my nice 27 inch monitor, besides less clutter on my desk. I’ll check this against my intuos, looks really good.
I also use the same one and I just love it. I can go on it for hours and not feel as tired as when I use the cintiq. Also, the quality is just so good and the buttery feeling that makes you feel your drawing on butter is just amazing.
I think having bigger ones is good while being screenless because some have bigger monitors and prefer to look straight ahead, this also means they get to keep the same display quality when upgrading their pen tablet.
While it gets more accurate the closer it gets to the screen size , it also makes you move your arm more so keep that in mind , i use H1060P and i think its better for me no matter how big the monitor gets , because moving my arm too much is tiring.
I think that A4 paper size is perfect for a sole reason: when you draw with muscle memory, if you carry that to a normal sketchbook, everything looks the same. contrary to what happens when yo do the same with a tablet medium size. i end up drawing tiny drawings on my sketchbooks, so i really think that for anyone that still like to draw with pen and paper, large screenless tablets offer the best of 2 worlds: digital and traditional sketching feels the same and you can do both without feeling any difference.
I use a large tablet connected to a computer which is paired with a 49 inch TV. This is useful for sitting back on the sofa 12 feet away from the screen and doing blocking\perspective setups. it also works well with gesture figure drawing and that is where the longer pen travel comes in useful. I don't think a tablet should be bigger than the screen it is paired with. smaller than the screen is probably the right way to go.
Hey Brad - this isn't a criticism of your drawing style but I don't believe this tablet or any large tablet would be just for pros. I think anyone who likes to use large sweeping gestures to draw would benefit - one thing I always hated small dead tablets or even screen tablets like the iPad for was the small drawing gestures you have to use. I trained originally working on A1 in Art School and going from A1 to an A5 surface is really hard - whether you're a pro or a student at college.
My favourite screen tablet so far ever is still my old Dell Canvas - 27 inches was just fabulous for drawing on.
Just a casual artist myself, so very different experience, but i never quite got used to using full arm for drawing. Since most of my drawing is done one a printer page sized medium, it wasn’t really needed and ended with wrist drawing habbit. So even on my screen-less drawing tablet, i have it set to NOT use such large motions. Rather than its default setting, i have set it to “mouse” so it acts exactly like a mouse. If i lift pen of tablet, it stays on that spot and continues from there wherever i set back the pen. This method also eliminated learning curve of screen-less tablets for me.
All you who do the hand/arm dancing every time Brad rocks that Techno Glove Dance, raise a drawing glove hand! 🖐
Brad I think there is something you are missing in your reviews and something people should be aware of generally about Huion.
Most of the screenless tablets they have been releasing over the past couple of years are in no way designed for left handed people,
on this exact model the screen is upside down and the charging port would be on the bottom right hand corner for left handers,
On the HUION Inspiroy Dial Q620M the dial would be at the bottom of the quick keys and the charging port near the bottom but not quite so bad,
the HS611 has a whole row of touch media keys that would be upside down and on the bottom and the Keydial KD200 has a half a keyboard on the wrong side because they don't offer a left handed version.
I will not buy from Huion again and just bought the XP Pen deco pro wireless medium instead of Huion who would have been my go to brand.
Is it posible that you could mention any potential issues for left handers in future reviews? Cheers!
Giano was a roman god that had two faces, and he inspires the name January, because one face watched over the old year, while the other faces the upcoming one.
He is basically the god of passing time
Interesting.
Actually its latin/italian/comes from greek mythology, Giano was a doublefaced giant and actually a big figure in Roman Religion at the same time period Christianity first started to appear, do not actually remember what he rappresented but many romans were particularly devoted to him, probably searching Giano god/mythology or Janus God/mythology something will show up
$200 for the pro offering seems super fair
I guess the game changed with the screen ones
I used a large Wacom for about 10 years and always had sore shoulders from having to bend over so far, recently switched to an XP Pen Deco Pro M and wow, which I had made the change years ago. Bigger is not always better.
I just wish Huion had a dial on it, it's so handy for scrubbing the timeline.
I kind of don't agree with purchasing screen display tablets if you're just starting out with digital art, since those can get pretty expensive. I think these graphic tablets (at least ones that are smaller and cheaper than the Giano) are a good place to start at
Exactly. Everyone on the comments agrees and even him used to agree, now he’s just promoting nonsense to get the bucks from sponsorships must be. Plain nonsensical to say displays are best for beginners.
Except he’s not. He literally said that the price of this particular tablet is almost the same price as some more affordable pen displays, so it’s tougher to recommend this specific tablet, but it’s good to have options.
@@Rickardt0 have you watch other recent videos? Plus you’re missing the whole point. It’s not pen displays.
@@yesyes9698 If it’s not about pen displays, then what’s your point?
@@Rickardt0 bruh don’t waste People’s time. I got both Wacom pen and pen display and pen are usually recommended for beginners, mostly price and portability. As a beginner you DO NOT need to start with pen display tablets. Unless is a personal preference and you can afford it. He’s now recommending pen displays for beginners, which is not the reality and he himself has said that. And many people will think it is necessary because it’s “easier to see what your drawing” far from reality. You can adapt just fine.
I TAPPED SO FAST JUST TO WATCH THIS 👁️👁️
I like the large working area. I mainly use my tablets for retouching photos and the extra real estate will give me a little more freedom. Nice review
I came back to this review because I've been changing my perspective on graphic tablets vs displays again.
The trick is that I've been doing a lot of blind contours in my sketchbook, and this method of practicing drawing encourages you to only think about lines in terms of what they physically feel like to execute. Sometimes I will hold the sketchbook at different angles to build more awareness of how the motion changes and what feels good. Translating those motions onto a graphic tablet is completely natural and means your brain isn't actually "thinking" in relationship to the screen cursor, it uses the screen to find the starting point and the scale, and the rest is muscle memory.
The screen does help when making little choppy movements where you're actively looking at the tip of the pen to find the mark, but that's the kind of drawing that most instruction actively tries to train you out of. John Singer Sargent: *always draw the longest line you can remember.* I still get choppy when I'm doing thumbnails, but I'm doing that on paper and then taking a snapshot on my phone to give the sketch a starting point. So, given the option, now I'd rather go with "large graphics tablet and large high refresh rate screen" over "large display tablet". Higher refresh does still allow me to react to my drawing, but if I'm fully engaging with Sargent's advice, I could have the screen not update at all while I make the mark and still get a decent result.
hey Brad ibix paint is now available for windows . please make a review on it 🙏
Interesting, I'll have to check that out.
@@thebradcolbow Just noting that the developers for Ibis openly tweeted that they wanted ibis on PC to be free but they couldn't or else it'll "end" their company/brand. I think this is important to preface because people are giving negative reviews for it not being free despite its only 20 bucks :(
Laptops usually have magnets integrated near their keyboard or the trackpad for the sensors to know if the laptop lid is closed or not. These magnets interfere with the functions on some of the graphics tablets out there depending on the technology used for their pen tracking. I have used an XP-Pen Deco 03 before, and this was also the case. However, most Wacom graphics tablets are not susceptible to this kind of problem because the design of technologies used for pen tracking is different. So if you are having a problem with the pen tracking of your graphic tablet going haywire once you set it on top of the laptop keyboard, then this is probably why.
Yeah mine h640p always do this and the solution is putting a plastic cover under the tablet
You can get Kamvas 13 for 200 usd with discounts, I think it would be a better start for a newbie and if you want, you can use it like a screenless one too.
I agree, for that price range the average person should start looking at display tablets, instead of drawing tablets. I mean my XP Pen Artist 22R Pro is $20 less than that and the 13.3" is $250!
I prefer the large tablet. I use the Wacom Large over my Cintiq due to long days spent working. Much better for the neck and shoulders. The larger workspace allows for less pen acceleration and helps you use your arm to draw and not from your wrist. Paired with at least a 27" monitor a large tablet works really nice.
i feel like blender is way better than maya because blender comes with a lot of features including 2d animation and video editing and its free on top of that
Brad, you do so many tablet reviews, could you please check out a recent painting web tool called Light Brush? It has interesting features and totally free. It has the things like layers, masks, selections etc. and then also some new things going for it, as well as blending paint with a brush.
Considering the price I would have liked a comparison to the other new Pen Tablet darling, the Xencelabs Medium.
I see a lot of mixed thoughts on Pen Tablets vs Pen Displays and honestly you all have good points though! Its mostly personal preference on what will be the best for you and you shouldn't feel to think otherwise.
Personally i prefer Pen Tablets for being easier on the arm and my back and because I already have a nice screen that quite honestly would be a chore to calibrate along with another device. Again though its mostly preference and as long as you are comfortable with it any device can be used to make your work.
I have the old version of this tablet and it's perfect for my 30in monitor. Have the active area set a bit smaller on it though, set to match my old intuos pro large active area
Is not having screen really bad?
@@adityadivine9750 I don't like screen tablets, it hurts my next to look down for 8 hours a day
@@TitusW do you know the best graphics tab under 100$ ?
I'm afraid about how will i draw when I can't see where I'm drawing
@@adityadivine9750 you will get used to it. I personally prefer no display tablet since it helps your posture.
@@bimajuantara is xp pen deco 01 v2 good? Or there's any better in same price range
Awesome work man! What laptop do you use here?
I have Kamvas 13. I just use it as a graphic tablet, looking at my benq monitor. It is large to draw
Yeh Brad sure the display tablet is so better. You can enjoy the pain of your arm or your back. Display tablets are the PRO tools, perfect for a long drawing session. Covering drawing with your hand gives you amazing and mysterious enjoyment. If you have MONEY you should surely buy one.
This is around the same hieght as the Intuos Pro Large but 16:9 wide instead of 16:10. I'd like to see a tablet company make a modern XL size.
Although a large with some precision mode use or zooming works very well.
Giano or Janus is the Roman god of time, passage, movement and transition (change). I presume this product marked a significant point in the company history where change had occurred, but you would have to ask Huion. If you read Cisero, he makes some good comments on the role of Janus. I suspect this was due to lockdown and pressures facing Huion. Alternatively, being the god of movements does tie in fairly well to the function of a tablet. It is not a corruption of "giant" like you suggest, you need to read more classics Brad.
5:18 that happens on other models too, my hs611 used to do that when I set my phone down on the tablet. Stopped doing but it weird that it does that
Nice review. I have used these pen tablets in the past because they work, just plug them in and go. As much as I would love to use a pen display, I have yet to be successful with using one on a desktop after downloading, installing drivers, uninstalling drivers, and troubleshooting, I can never get them to work on my Windows desktop. I notice just about everyone who reviews these uses them on laptops but I'm on a desktop so I end up having to send them back.
From inspiroy series i have only smallest h420x. It's nice to use it with android phone, makin' some flipaclip things; and from "meh" to "okay" when you connect it to pc - with all this glorious specs smallest tablet is still slightly uncomfortable in combo with normal sized monitor
Meaning of Giano. Giano means “archway” or “gateway” (from Latin “ianus”) and “Yahweh is gracious”
big tablet, great if you didnt want to use a pen display or just for some reason didnt like a pen display
My man that is a c u t t i n g b o a r d
🤣🤣🤣
Ahhh I would love to know if these larger tablets have some sort of measure of how many sensors they have like per inch or something in that vein. If it was high enough compared to my current pen tablet, I would absolutely LOVE something like this to use with more than one monitor.
Petition for brad to start welcoming us in every video as the brad cowboys
Haha that’s absolutely wild you’re getting sponsored by maya!? People don’t just download maya if they don’t know how to use it! You only really use maya if that’s what you learned to use from college or if your workplace uses it I truly can’t imagine why autodesk would sponsor ads. Besides that, it’s definitely the best 3d animation software out there lol.
Finally found a replacement for my intuos 4L !
If you search for Giano, it shows up as a place in Italy.
Have Huion reused USB ID's for this like they have done in the past (which makes writing driver's a nightmare)?
The design of this tablet kind of reminds me of the old Wacom bamboo
Review would make more sense if you show, maybe, how bit it is? And you are using small monitor on top of that.
Love this option 👌👌
Over to another topic, the Samsung S-pen Pro, is it worth purchasing compared to the regular S-pen that comes with the tabs7+?
i think this tablet is for people like wlop, cuz she have a giant monitor and that tablet is the perfect tool for
Giano in Latin is "Gateway"
Oh I like that!
what if they meant to type giant but it became a typo and the just went with giano
What laptop is that in the video?
Review the new inspiroy dial!
can I use it on my pc without bluetooth so I don't need to charge it?
Why can't I find a review made by you on neither the wacom cintiq 13 HD or 13 pro? I'm thinking of buying one second-hand but there's only like 3 reviews on the entirety of UA-cam on the HD one. And they don't show much of the actual drawing process mostly talking. Would be nice if you could review these.
I saw in another review that you have to use Bluetooth and not USB. Is this true? I have the 1409 v2 and this looks like an awesome upgrade, minus losing 6 buttons.
Good review. Also, in the first part of this review, were you drawing Jazza?
Can i have it?
Ibis paint is for windows now could you do a review on it
I need screen based design (iPad). How the heck do you find the spot where you left off on a blank tablet? Too confusing.
Wacom intuos 4 xtra large is the biggest tablet I know of
Bro my 1st tablet is Huion H430P non screen graphics tablet
Seems little bit too large to work confortably - for me, as far as graphics tablet is concerned, the medium size is the sweet spot. Also the left shortcut and info area could better used with extra buttons, a dial or a bigger LCD but, probably, would have increased the price. You didn't mentioned it but if you use the info panel wouldn't it restrict it only to right hand users? Does this model support touch or hand gestures?...
Brad you are near 1 million 😏😏😁
I was surprised to discover... that all i need is a Duo 2 phone and a laptop (surface). the duo is better to draw on that most tablets :O despite its small real-estate. This is a super sleeper tablet (which people are probably not thinking about when looking at duo)
oh dear.. looks like ive become a microsoft product fanboy..... how'd this happen lololol
no tilt function ?
Hi brad, iam buying huion hs611 tablet for my 3d work, i use c4d,maya and after effects is it good for me ?
Any word on Linux compatibility? Last I heard, Wacom was still the only truly reliable option for that
Nice review
intuos pro large has a slightly smaller active area than this
Hey Brad, can I know what laptop you're using in this review?
Its probably just english mashup meaning giant because its a big tablet.
Kind of weird sponsor. Good video, but I'm glad I don't have to work on these anymore and am enjoying a pen display for some years now.
if i don.t now how to use soft pNice tutorialsical
I love the glove dance
Did you just draw Jazza's avatar? Also, didn't you just recently do a Blender video? What did the dark side offer you that you fell so quickly? :P
In Polish huion SOUNDS like word used do describe pp tho
Janus is an ancient god, the moon god
The drawing tablet glitches on the laptop surface because laptops today use magnets which affect the drawing surface.
Good to know and makes perfect sense.
Please teach me how to draw cartoon
Ooooooh I had my eyes on this tablet
Cool

Kamvas pro 13 or this?
Really depends on your preference, really. Yeah a screen tablet at 300$ gives more value in a more objective sense, but that doesn't matter if someone simply doesn't like drawing on a screen because of reasons like the ergonomics or eyestrain caused by drawing a screen tablet setup.
Giant translate on italian GIGANTE
I searched a bit on this word giano , I am from India and I know three languages English hindi and Punjabi but it only has a real meaning in Hebrew it means God is gracious as Hebrew. But it doesn't have have any meaning in my regional language 🙃😅 why these companies do these things anyway 😂😂
Gotta love you some Janus 😂
That's what she said
Glove dance! 🥳
Gian is Giant in latin.
Bhut vadda in Punjabi
I think it costs a bit too much.
150 $ is the price I'd give it.
But anyway.
Huion have the older model around this Giano size, should be cheaper, I don't remember
