  • Welcome to XP Pen Deco 01 V2 Honest Review! Is this the best beginner drawing tablet on a budget? Well in this video, I discuss whether or not it's worth investing in!
    I was looking for a drawing tablet to use for my design work and while researching, I came across the XP Pen Deco 01 V2. Compared to Wacom tablets, this brand is significantly cheaper (especially if you're on a tight budget) and so I thought, why not check it out? I'm used to drawing on paper, but obviously, that's a whole different experience compared to drawing on a tablet!
    In this video, I'll give you an honest review and show you examples of how the XP Pen Deco 01 V2 works and share with you my initial thoughts regarding the drawing tablet in terms of first impressions, affordability, dimensions, and overall functionality!
    Enjoy the video!

      Oh yea btw , the tablet dimension 13.82 x 8.54 inch , the one you mention was the active area for the stylus anyways , good review

    • @ammarkhan9105
      @ammarkhan9105 3 роки тому

      Btw the buttons on the stylus are customizable, and it really useful for expert professional artists, and some even wish there should be more buttons on the stylus. Because you are not an artist, u wont really need them, and they are mainly used for undo or/and erase. :]

  • @AmyLionheartArtistry
    @AmyLionheartArtistry 3 роки тому +51

    The buttons on the side of the Pen are programmable hot keys to promote efficiency. You can assign it to “eraser” or “Undo” mode. If you don’t want it programmed, you go to the tablet settings & make sure it’s not assigned to anything. I’m sure the tablet has a menu for the settings/properties.

    Awesome review! Just one thing I noticed at 2:05 that the dimensions are actually 13.82" x 8.54" (351mm x 217mm), not 10" x 6.25". It's the working area that is 10" x 6.25" (254mm x 159mm). So the dimension lines are off a little in the video. The thickness is correct at 8mm (0.31"). I got this information from the Amazon listing, I couldn't find the actual tablet size in the XP Pen website for some odd reason (maybe I didn't look hard enough)... But apart from that, I enjoyed watching. Thanks for the effort you put into your review.

    Naisuuu! I think one way you can use those pen buttons is in the settings, you can add the shortcut key function for those. For me with photoshop, I set them as ‘i’ and ‘b ‘. ‘i’ is color picker and ‘b’ is brush tool so it easy to go back and forth picking colors on the canvas and then returning to brush tool when I paint. That’s for photoshop but for other programs probably you will have to see what tools you use often and add those shortcut key functions instead. :D

      I had read that many people face sensitivity issues on upper half of the tablet where it moves in increments of 2 or 4 pixels with smallest movements but is fine when working on lower half. Have you noticed such issues ?
      Also, is shoelace effect problematic on this tablet?
      Shoelacing means that line suddenly becomes thick while it should be linear increase.
      As I am thinking to be involved in 3D modelling, it matters a lot to me so please find some time to reply.

      You see your cursor on the screen as you hover over the surface of the tablet. To draw, you lower the pen so the tip touches the surface. After a while you get a feel for how much you should move your hand/arm around to get to a certain part of the screen. It's called hand-eye coordination.
