My left ear enjoyed this video.
Sorry about the trouble. I didn't notice that.
😂
@Abeer Chati Sorry about that :)
@Abeer Chati yeah it's small. If you have a huge monitor then you might wanna buy something a little bigger. If you use a laptop then this should work well.
Wacom 4100 is better. You will get higher pen pressure level, express keys and also you can use it on Android. It will cost more though.
@Abeer Chati You are welcome
Humans should only have one ear.
Sorry about that
Ah yes my left ear's daily dose of an Indian accent ASMR
That's ain't an Indian accent sir!
someone was whispering in my right ear.
hahaha... sorry about that :)
I was left I guess...
Didn't expect that bombass drawing in the end
I am glad that I found your video and my confusion get clear, what should I buy the medium size tablet or the small one. And finally got my answer 😁🤘
glad that it helped :)
Thanks for sharing! I want to buy a Wacom CTL-472 for studying and drawing!
Ps: I love Deku, your drawing is amazing! :DD
I'm glad that you like it :D
I ordered it. so I am searching a tutorial in the whole youtube. And I found yours. nice video
glad that you like it :)
Do you need to sign in cause I read smth like "you need to register the product" when looking for instructions to set up my wacom
Could you tell me where can I buy additional nibs for CTL 472?? Please provide the link.
Thank you, TheDesignersLaw. Just bought the Wacom Intuos Medium from Amazon. Kudos to them, came at 5:45 am. Anyways, the extra Nibs (tips) package has a ring in it. The poor instructions show to push the pen through the ring. It's very loose. What is the ring used for and also am I suppose to squeeze it closed? Thank you in advance, and great video.
I bought this CTL 472, Thanks for guidelines using on Ps, Ai .....
You are welcome
@@TheDesignersLaw can we use it with phone?
@@e.7989 No not this one
@@TheDesignersLaw ok thanks 😊
this is a very helpful and educational video about the One by Wacom.
thanks. glad that it helped
Thanks a lot great review. I was looking for the orientation options everywhere. 4:24 clearly shows it. I just want to be sure there is reversed landscape mode. My current setup is not suitable for a cable from the left side of the tablet. I think Landscape flipped mode may solve this issue.
Yes of course you can do that. In fact I do that as well. Right handed persons place their tab at the right side. So sometimes it gets annoying placing the keyboard side by side because of the cable.
And also I use a mini keyboard while using a tablet. It gets harder to reach the keys of your keyboard if you use a gaming keyboard.
Now am using veik tab, so my system have its drive.
My question is that is there any problem with one system with two drive?
Coz I have ordered this one
No it shouldn't create any problems.
Unable to install required net package ye error aara windows 7 m kya kru
Sir I need to buy only that nibs what shall i do
Awesome video!
Also yay a MHA fan hello!
Deku is a cool character and I love your drawing of him! :)
Yeah, hope you are enjoying season 5.
@@TheDesignersLaw Oh season 5 is amazing! The animation has really improved and I’m obsessing over the Kami scenes rn lol He’s one of my favourites actually because I relate so much to him 😂

Is it compatible for chromebook?
This was really helpful. Thank youuu!!!
you are welcome :)

Should I install a pen app to my device or does the pen automaticly work when i set up the tablet?
It will work but not properly. You need to install wacom driver.
How do you apply pen pressure with it in paint tool SAI? I've tried a lot of methods but it somehow doesn't work
Not Sure. Never used SAI :(
It's a very helpful video ❤️ , Covered almost everything i need to know about this tablet
Glad that it helped :)
Can i know if i were to use got ppt, google classroom and pdf for taking notes or designing ppt, should i get this or wacom intuos small ?
Yes you can.
Wacom Intuos may be a better option but for power point or taking notes CTL-472 will work just fine.
Please reply. Can I use it for sculpting? In zbrush or blender
Yes you can. You should use pen for sculpting.
Im new to these, when youre drawing, your palm isnt detected as input right? Only the pen? Because that has been a problem with regular tablet drawing
This tablet is not touch sensitive. you can not use it with your fingers like smartphones. You need to use the pen.
@@TheDesignersLaw thats amazing, im definitely buying it!
I'm subscribing for your accent. It's GOODDAMN GOOD 😍
Also does it work with autodesk sketchbook?
Thank you so much for your support :)
Yes it will work on Autodesk sketchbook.
How to change the one note software background and how long the nib works. Nd if nibs r over where can we purchase the nibs?
You can go to view and select page color.
Or you can click the three dots menu from the top right and go to option and select different color themes .
How long the nib lasts that depends on how much you use it. For me it's around 8-10 months since most of the time I use mouse. There are many online stores. You should be able to find it there. I usually buy things from local shops.
by any chance do you have a link to a trusted website or seller for replacement nibs that i can buy besides the wacom website because they're currently having issues with it right now?
I think its available on amazon. You can also try your local shops.
My laptop version windows 7. but that device drive is not working properly. plz help me.
Did you try some older versions ?
Can you tell me which one should I buy between veikk s640 and wacom ctl 472
As veikk has higher pressure sensitivity but wacom has better software low smoothning and very low latency please help me out.
Thank you for your comment.
I think both Wacom CTL 472 and Veikk S640 are pretty good for beginners. It's true that you can get some extra features in S640 with the same price level but I personally think you should go for Wacom. Because software really matters in this case. Also Wacom tablets are long lasting.
@@TheDesignersLaw thank you very much
@@Lonelemon You are welcome
Is ctl 600 good?
Thanks for sharing.. This is very helpful... Is 2048 pressure levels sufficient for beginners?
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, to me 2048 pressure level is OK.
If you are using it for drawing (like I use for Anime drawing), then it's perfect.
Thanks for creating the video👍
welcome
Hello! Can you please tell me how long does one nib last?
That depends on how you use it. Generally you can say its 5-6 months.
I have an issue. I recently purchased the CTL 472 and was loving it. It had zero problems and it was good for small art projects. One day, it just stopped powering on. I swapped out the cord, I checked/reinstalled the drivers, I tried it with other computers, nothing. The light wont come on. I checked it for damage and there was zero. Is there a way I can fix this?
its hard to tell from here why its not powering on. Does it still have warranty? and even if the warranty expired I think you should send it to the repair.
@@TheDesignersLaw It does not have a warranty. It didn't come with one, but I was considering sending it to the repair. Thanks for the help!
do you know what type the usb cable is as i need to buy a bigger one
You can buy a Micro USB (Type B) to USB (Type A) cable. This is similar to the cable which we used to see on old smartphone charger cable before USB Type C. If you have a old smartphone cable, then it should work.
Hello, I just stumbled upon this video and came to ask if the Wacom CTL472 supports other cables apart from the original one it came with or does it not work with other cables than the one in the box.
It should work. You can try.
@@Ralstro I'm just wondering if I had another cable that's the same as the one the wacom came with if it would work or only the original cable does
I have a problem. I have downloaded the driver following the shown process but problem while installing saying platform not supported although I have windows 7 and my tablet is One by Wacom (Wacom CTL-472). Any wayout??
Is the windows 7 updated to the latest version?
@@TheDesignersLaw Thank you so much...actually my Microsoft.net was not updated
@@roumyajithazra2937 Ok. please update it and let me know if that works or not
I have a corporate laptop (windows 10) which doesnt allow me to install anything. Will the one wacom work just plus and play. Dont need advance settingd which come after drivers...
Without the driver you can only move the cursor. You cannot use the pen pressure or buttons.
@@TheDesignersLaw can you draw like the mouse using the pen
@@nitayg1326 if the touch area works then you can draw. then you might not need to install the driver.
Hey I was wondering where do buy this product because I found it on amazon and it looked like the correct model but it didn’t list the name of it. It just said “One by Wacom Student drawing tablet for Windows, etc.”
Yeah that's CTL-472. You can check more product info at the bottom of the page.
@@TheDesignersLaw thanks so much! Just ordered along with a tablet cover
Is it possible to calibrate the tablet? I can't find the instructions anywhere
you will find two options PEN & MAPPING when you open the wacom tablet properties. Are you facing any trouble using the pen?
Preparing Automatic Repair?
How long pen nibs last? And where I can buy nibs if needed? In Amazon the price of nibs are showing very high
That depends on how you use it. Generally 6 or 7 months may be. To buy new nibs try local shops. Nibs aren't expensive. You should be able to find it with lower price.
Please I'm just starting off and I really want to no if it can work with adoble animate software
Yes it will work on adobe animate
@@TheDesignersLaw thanks
How can you get a more smooth stroke like procreate
Actually that is practice. Move your hand fast. this will give you smoother lines. or you can increase smoothing in PS.
Can this tab support zbrush, substance painter and mudbox? And if yes then is this tab worth it?
I have tested it Photoshop, illustrator, SketchBook and I never faced any issues. So you should be able to use it in those programmes, that you mentioned without any issues. And yes I think this tab is pretty great.
Since u can't buy extra nibs for this specific model , so are the replacement nibs enough and how long does 1 nib last according to your usage? Plz
You can buy extra nibs. When I bought this tablet I asked the guy from the shop about buying extra nibs. He said it's available and very cheap, around $1 for 4/3 nibs. It should be available in your country too.
And you can use a nib for around 6 months. Depending how frequently you use it this may vary. For me per nib goes around 10 months or longer. Most of the time I use mouse.
@@TheDesignersLaw Thanks
@@harshsharma203 You are welcome
@@TheDesignersLaw are you from India? if yes then which shop in India can i buy nibs? cause on amazon(india) the nibs isn't available. And I'm not sure which shop can i buy nibs. Cause I've purchased this product(from Amazon) but want to buy more nibs.
when i go left the pen goes right when i go up it goes down how do i fix it?
Looks like you flipped it. Open Wacom tablet properties, then select mapping. Here you can change the orientation.
Can I use it in Adobe animate for 2d animation?
Yes of course you can
Hey, is the small one fine.
Or would you rather get the medium one for the few more bucks? I bought the small one and I never used a tablet before
Hey Naruto, if you are using a laptop with 14 to 17 inch then the small one is ok. but if you use a 32 inch monitor then I would suggest to get a big one.
@@TheDesignersLaw I've got a 24inch one. You think the small one will be okay?
@@lihpws It depends on what you do. For drawing I think larger tablet works great.
Thank you for this video
You are welcome
Thanks for this informative video. I had a small question. Is this tablet good for teaching online?
Or would you refer another one?
Yeah I think it will work fine for online
@@TheDesignersLaw Thanks for the info
Thank you BROOO!
You are welcome :)
Hii plz tell me will wacom ctl472 will work on window 11 hp laptop??
yes it will.
@@TheDesignersLaw thanku
hello, anyone know if i can connect this to Android Smartphone using an otg ?
No this model doesn't work on smartphones.
@@TheDesignersLaw Really thank you, I think i will go with the Intuos them.
How long do all the given nibs last?
That depends on how you use it. But for normal use you should be able to go a long time with all these 4 nibs.
Thank you so much it cleared my doubts but I have one doubt .Can it be used on Android .I wouldn't want to change my pins frequently so I would like to use it without pressure sensitivity
No but you can try Intuos CTL4100 or CTL 6100.
They are supported on android.
@@TheDesignersLaw oh thank you very much
@@abhijeetnalam716 You are welcome
You could always buy a usb 2.0 to USB adapter for android I’d imagine those exist somewhere good luck tho!
@@Darklovesto oooh oki but idts it would be compatible as its software cant recognize android.
Is it a good idea to buy this for using alias studio?
I do not use that program but it should work in Alias Studio.
Hello brother, I'm thinking to buy this for taking notes and a lil bit illustration as a hobby. I use a 22inch monitor. Do you think I will be okay? I'm confused because the active area seems so small. Please reply me faster because there is a discount going on in a shop and I have to make a quick decision.
Yes it should be fine. I'm using it on a 22 inch monitor. Works great.
@@TheDesignersLaw Thank you man!! You replied in a year old video that fast!! Honestly I wasn't expecting a reply. Thank you Brodie you earned a sub and a fan
@@Darkul. Thank you
Bro can these tablet be used for 3d animations,sculpting etc plz tell 🙏
yes why not
how can i disable it when u move the mouse above the tablett
not sure what you are trying to say. What you want to disable ?
@@TheDesignersLaw nvw
Does it have a touch mode? Thanks
No. It works only with the pen.
@@TheDesignersLaw Thanks for the quick response. :) All the best!
Is there a way I can use pen buttons without my pen being directly over the pad?
No I don't think so
@@TheDesignersLaw ah ok, thanks for the reply
Will this drawing tablet work on adobe after effect?
Yes it will work but for after effects, a mouse is enough I guess. You are not painting or drawing in After effects, right? But you can use it in after effects. no problem with that :D
How do you disable the buttons
Go to Wacom tablet properties. Here you will see the disable option.
Which version its work properly windows 7 or windows 10
I installed it on Windows 10 and it's working perfectly.
Does it also works as a mouse?.. Like if I connect it and then using the pen as a cursor..will it work ?
Yes of course. There are people who only use pen. Once you get use to it, you don't want to use a mouse.
@@TheDesignersLaw that's true, I hardly use my mouse after I bought this :) one by wacom medium is literally most comfortable mouse I veer used xDDD
@@menopriezvisko94 Exactly :)
do you ever miss the buttons? which is a better option medium without buttons or small intuos with buttons?
my goal is for drawing
Intuos S would be better.
You get the buttons and higher pen pressure.
@@TheDesignersLaw but it's small? I already bought the medium one by wacom , what to do please? should I replace it from the store?
@@morty7542 For drawing this should work pretty well.
does it have tilt support?
Probably not
hi, just check with you that I was wondering this driver can change the language into Chinese version? Or can you teach me how to download Chinese version?
I'm not sure. I don't think you can change the language.
@@TheDesignersLaw even download the Chinese version also cannot?
@@user-fi9qe2tx6q I don't think you cannot change the language inside the driver.
I am planning to buy it but I'm worried if it's going to be too small. Is the dimension of the active area enough to do detailed drawings?
If you are using a large monitor then you should go for a bigger tablet. I think for complex illustration its better to use a bigger tablet. Display tablet would be a better option.
@@TheDesignersLaw Thank you!
@@mehranhaider1127 You are welcome
QUESTION: where do i draw exactly? I mean... What app, button, etc. to start drawing? Because all i see are people showing "HOW TO DRAW" tutorials! But i can't draw on a blank screen now can i?
I use Adobe Photoshop. You can try Autodesk SketchBook. Its good and free.
You can also try medibang paint pro , plus its free and if u want a paid good one try clip studio i heard it has a lot of good stuff :))
@@nvrrungji thanks
@AllOfYou No... Thank YOU
Is this size good for notetalking?
yeah it is.
Hi, is the one you are reviewing the small one?
Yes this one is the small one. You can find the medium version CTRL-672
How do you rotate the art board ?
Hold R and click and drag to rotate. When you release R, you will get back to the previous tool. If you just press R then the rotate tool will be selected. Now if you want to go back to another tool, just press that tool (for example, the brush too). So what I do when I use the brush tool, I just hold R and rotate it and then release R, so I can get back to the brush tool again. I don't need to press B to select the brush tool again.
Hi desinger law, what do you think about XP Deco 01v2. I want to buy that.
XP-Pen Deco 01 V2 is good. You will get higher pen pressure levels and express keys.
@@TheDesignersLaw thank you so much
@@ni9912 You are Welcome :)
But what if i buy that glove usually used for a graphic tablet? Will that solve the problem?
Thanks for your comment. Can you please tell me what type of problem you are talking about?
@@TheDesignersLaw in this video u said that there is a problem with the tablet that if i keep my hand on the tablet it will read that right? But can i solve this problem by buying a glove for graphic tablet?
@@mustansir8337 I'm sorry. I still didn't get your question. If you are talking about the touch sensitivity, then glove won't do anything.
It would be great if you mention the time in next comment.
@@mustansir8337 I think it will only register the pen
What do you think of huion inspiroy h640p and veikk s640. They have higher pressure lvl and same price. I am planning to buy one
Huion Inspiroy H640P is really good. It has higher pen pressure level and also you can have those express keys.
I don't know much about the veikk s640. If you buy this for playing osu game, then it will work fine.
But to me I personally think Wacom is more durable. At the same time, if you use Photoshop, then you might face same issues in these devises. I heard some people facing some sort of issues but I'm sure that can be fixed.
my huion only lasted for a year :( maybe it depends on how we use it but for me the sensitivity isn't working really well anymore. it worked just fine on first year but now it presses all keys even without the nib touches the tab 😔 im planning to get wacom now
@@cupcake2164 Yes, Wacom would be a good choice.
@@cupcake2164 >.< I hope your wacom last longg
Help my wacom tablet's connection is lose if I just move it a little bit it just turns off :(
there could a issue in the cable. Did you try changing the cable ?
@@TheDesignersLaw yes I did I tried with 4 different cables it still didnt work
Ohh... then it's probably a internal issue. may be you should send it to repair.
Bro how you rotated the canvas
Press and hold R then left click and drag to rotate.
How can i connect this to my phone?
You can't.
This model doesn't support mobile devises.
how do we get that pen setup thingy?? i dont understand
Install the driver first and then you can follow the procedure that I showed in the video.
@@TheDesignersLaw It's ok, I'll ask one of my dad's freinds to help me. But thank you anyways, I try doing it again(hopefully it will work - or not)
Is the tablet still working good after 2 years of usage? Also how do you turn of the tablet? Do you just unpluge it?
Yes, I'm still using it. Never faced any problem. There is no turn off button. You can just unplug the cable from your pc when you don't use it.
@@TheDesignersLaw thank you! That was a fast response!
are there buttons...
Can you connect smart phone to it
No not this one. I would suggest you to use a stylus pen for smart phone. Its more convenient.
I have lost stylus how to buy it?
Did you try amazon ?
Can i know how to change its sensitive
You can find all the settings in Wacom Tablet Properties. After installing the driver, open Wacom tablet properties then click Customize Pen Pressure. There you can change it.
how to change the sensitivity?
Open Wacom tablet properties and change the tip feel. Soft means more sensitive. If you set up any application, make sure you change the tip feel inside that particular application.
What size did you order your tablet? Small or medium?
This one is the small one
can it be connected to the cell phone?
no. not this one.
Can I use it for online maths teaching classes. Because I'm a teacher
Yes of course
quick question can I connect this tablet to my phone??
no you cant
I’ve just started osu do you think this is still a good tablet to this day to buy
I don't play osu but it should work great on it. and yes it's still good.
Can I use it in android mobile instead of computer?
No not this one.
Does it works for even autodesk sketchbook?
Yes of course.
If the tablet is constantly blinking, what's the source of the problem? The wire? Or the tablet?
Hard to say. Did you try changing the cable?
@@TheDesignersLaw I did, but it seems, the cable that comes in the box is the only usable thing for the tablet. Oh and don't mimd this comment, I fixed it earlier
