The XP-Pen artist 13.3 Pro and the Artist 12 Pro are the latest are smaller versions of the 16 Pro I reviewed earlier this year. It's great to see XP continue to improve and bring the quality of their larger devices to the smaller tablets too.

Am I the only one who feels bad when Brad says "Today's sponsor is ME!"
Haha, it's not a bad thing, when I went two months with sponsors my affiliate revenue and course revenue dropped, I kind of like having a couple weeks without sponsors so I can pimp my own stuff.
@@thebradcolbow That makes me feel better XD. Keep up the good work!
I assumed he ran the numbers and figured out he makes more advertising his own material. I was proud and happy for him!
@@thebradcolbow Hey Brad, I want a child from you. Since this will be hard since we are both male and you would have to gift me one (I've heard that they are a lot of work though), I will check out your courses. :-)
Could you make an Animation Course, ideally with a program that does not demand that you pay monthly but you can still animate seriously with?
Yes. There are a lots of tutorials for that. But once you found entertaining but teaching tutorials you dont want to go back to ... school-like tutorials :(
@@tatedottech That makes more sense now that i think about it
Bought this because of your review and I love it so far. It’s my first screen tablet and I notice a huge difference over my old screenless tablet. I could never get used to my small screenless tablet but this is amazing in comparison.
Thinking about buying this tablet. You use this on Mac or windows? I use on mac
Nice

hello i have a question. I wanna buy pen display tablet but idk. Wacom one or xppen artist 12 pro? Pls help...
@@Nero-fv4hk artist pro 12 the Wacom one is not great but either one is good I just think you’d be happy with the artist
I bought the Artist 12 after a lot of research and because Brad recommended it. I have no regrets. I thought the size would be too small but it turned out to be perfect for me.The only negative for me is that once it is on the table you do have to hover lower and it will put a strain on your neck and back but I fixed that by putting it on top of something to make it more eye level.
I've used it to play games, draw, watch movies, etc. The glare can get in the way sometimes when a light source is behind you but you can just adjust it. The wires can get a little annoying but it's not too much different from other wired technologies.
It may or may not be for you but for me, no regrets. The only negative reviews I've seen were by people angry that it wasn't like an iPad lol Use Brad's links to get one if you want. Kick him a lil sum-sum for all of the hard work he's done. :) Thanks Brad.
hey, haven't bought a drawing tablet in over a decade, now I can get something like this for what an Intuous used to cost? nuts! thanks for the review, it was really helpful.
I didn't know drawing tablet has been around that long,I thought it pop up around 2014

Just got one for my daughter, for her birthday, Thankyou for this video, this had made us feel a lot better on our choice, hopefully she enjoys this next step in her artwork.
I bought my artist pro 12 during their anniversary sale for $175 and since it's my first pen display, I don't have anything compare it to, but I absolutely love it and have no complaints other than the buttons on the pen are a little sensitive and easy to push. Definitely great for a beginner and/or someone on a tight budget.
Will they ever make another discount?
@@caz8135 they actually had one not too long ago bc the newer one came out everything was on sale for a bit.
I’m sure they will have more sales in the future :D

Thank you for these videos. It was your review of the XP-Pen 16 pro that made me finalize my purchase. Its been great so far!
Just wanted to say I really appreciate your reviews, was having a lot of issues figuring out what best fit my needs on a budget.
Hi! I found your channel today and I loooove your videos (especially the reviews). They're to the point, well explained, and thank you for being one of those sensible people that don't put obnoxious music over everything.
This was posted at the best time!
I was just busy looking for a display tablet that's a bit smaller than my huion
XP-pen store just had a sale that ended like a week ago, the 12" tablet was $175 US. and the 15" was $300 I think. Very good deals.
Yeah get it! I have an xp pen and I am very happy with it!
Great review! This is the only one that I could find that had realtime time drawing so I could see the pen lag. Looks like a great tablet for the money! Thank you for such a thorough review.
Here I'm looking forward to seeing XP-Pen's version of a MobileStudio.
Has it been announced?
@@Gleamiarts I asked them on their FB page and they told me they're working on it but it takes time.

Hi Brad! Just wanted to say thank you for what you do. Ive been looking into upgrading to a newer drawing tablet since mine is already 10+ years old (it also.. only has ~500 pressure sensitivity, haha). All your videos have been really informative! I like that your opinions sound very genuine and unbias. Thanks again
Thank you! I was waiting for your review on those
2:42 Brad has three hands confirmed.
Wait wut
@@DerMBen beuh
hah yeah
Woah!
def hax
Thanks for all the reviews! Just got the 12 inch one as a starter tablet for digital art. Even used your link on your site. Keep up the great work!
How was it?
I like my XP Pen 13. I had to buy a separate lightbox stand to get it in a comfortable position for art, but it's wonderful value for the price and I much prefer this stylus to the spongy feel of Huion.
ive been so excited for these
6:50 for anyone interested in this tablet for the tilt support it only works on the inner 70% of the screen something like two finger widths all the way around the screen it'll just not update the angle and sometimes it even fails to update for a while after that too so not sure if it's really super useful or not since it'll just randomly stop working if you go outside its bounds
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, THANK YOU
Cool! yeah, I got a little backlogged and fit a vacation early this month so I've been sitting on these for a few weeks.
I'm using the 15.6 pro currently, love it!
Thank you for the great review, bought it on sale for the $189 from the original $300 price. Can't wait to get my hands on it, so excited!
This was the exact video I was searching for!
One who talked about both 12 and 13.3 version.
Very good reviews from Brad, probably the best on UA-cam.
I have one small suggestion. I think it's also worth mentioning if a drawing tablet has a touch screen panel or not.
Good suggestion. Also, this one is not a touch screen.
Looks like XP Pen tablets are still relevant, your video helped me choose the XP-PEN Artist 15.6 pro for my 11 year old. Wanted something that she could grow into since she is good illustrator. Thanks again for the video review!
Well, I know what I'm getting at the end of this month!! :D This review could NOT have been timed better! :) Going for the 13.3 Pro ;)
Hey Brad! New subscriber and thankful for your (actual) reviews. I'm an Art Teacher in Florida and I'm looking for a tablet I can use in my classroom. This video helped make my decision on the Pro 12. Keep them coming and thanks for your help!
I've been thinking about upgrading from my wacom intuos for a bit now. The wacom cintiq is way outta my price range, although it would be nice to have. So I've been trying to decide between Huion and XP Pen. So far leaning towards XP pen. I really appreciate the honest reviews.
I've been meaning to move up from my intuos as well, and similarly I can't afford a wacom cintiq and am looking into huion and XP-pen. You bought one yet? If so what do you reccomend??
@@jadersonie I ended up buying the XP Pen Artist Pro 12. For the price, it's pretty damn good for a display tablet. I actually just got a desktop set up last week and realized that the tablet needs a HDMI to usb adapter (which came today). But other than that, it works great. I would recommend the artist pro over the artist just because it has more buttons and a scroll wheel which us really handy. And a size 12 is honestly decent to upgrade from an intuos small.
@@nverted-dynamo thanks dude! I'll keep it in mind then.
Yo I have an intuos small too so when I can hopefully make enough money from my yt channel should I get artist 12 pro bcz my friend told me too get it too.
If u bought it yet does it have touch i cant find if it does or no
I have the 12 and absolutely love it!
I just ordered the Artist 13.3 Pro and I'm super excited thanks for reviewing it. I'm a beginner with all of this, but you explained it well and it was easy to process all these information :)
I really really confused which one i better should buy between Huion Kamvas 13 and Artist 13.3 Pro, after months of usage how is the durability of Artist 13.3 Pro btw??
And the build quality??is it back panel made with metal or plastic?
@@jakakelana410 it's still in good quality but it's so frustrating using it with my Mac book mini but that seems more like my macs fault! I scratched the screen a little bit but that's because I tend to be careless at times. The screen still works perfectly.
One thing I found from the 15.6 pro is Windows 10 scaling really messes with the pen for some reason, it was wobbling on slow lines and not registering fast strokes during cross hatching. Once I set it to default 100% text and icon scale it worked perfectly, its definitely sensitive enough to do professional work on. These things are bargains for artists and animators.
Nice seeing the "ring of death" got a job now
Excellent review brad, thanks!
This is the tablet I'm getting myself along with the new laptop I plan to buy. Thanks for the review Brad! ✌️
Thank you for the clear and concise review! I wasnt sure if i should splurge for this tablet, as even thought its cheap for screen tablet prices its still a lot of money if it turns out to be no good, but now im pretty convinced im gonna get it :)
Mannn i really enjoyed this video, it is unlike your other ones. I am seeing you're trying something different, and it's really really good!
Keep it up ^^
The lack of express keys have deterred me from getting the new wacom tablets.
The expresskey remote is pretty good. It could do with a USB C port though (microUSB is just too fragile) and bluetooth for when you don't want to use the adapter. The only other option is an XP-Pen remote, but it's bigger, has fewer controls and frankly looks ugly.
@@tams805 Yeah, I love spending $100 on a remote for a tablet that's already $2000
@@RoyaltoonzHD The express key usually comes in the box with the higher end cintiq products. Although, it is still overpriced AF.
@@tams805 I tried the xp-pen remote for a while. Until they redesign it completely, it full-on sucks. I have an express remote now. Better than ok. Totally worth the extra $60 (the xp-pen remote was $40).
I saw a comic advertising this and it was PERFECT because I've been doing commissions and saving up for a screen tablet. My current tablet is an XP Pen G430 (the smallest and cheapest tablet) and it's REALLY good, the working area is really small but it gets the work done. I feel the need to upgrade and I just might get an XP-Pen 12 Pro. Thanks for the review!!
Been waiting for that almost catched up to wacom. I think its a good time now to buy them
i really appreciated this video i wanted to get into digital design and these are very helpful!
With XP-Pen getting so good, I can't wait till they drop a new version of their 22E Pro with a laminated display and red wheel.
Out in Nov '19! (so they say)
yes, it is out there. now
hiya I have been looking into a drawing tablet with a screen for a while now and have looked into a ton of reviews. But after looking through your videos I feel you're very trustworthy. I have a involuntary movement disorder and I often drop or throw things when I have episodes. I am wondering how durable is the screen? I have always wanted to have a tablet with a screen but I am afraid of breaking it if I put too much pen pressure when I have a muscle spasm or shake. Do you know if this tablet or another you might recommend that might be more durable or have some sort of casing for protection in case I damage it. I get these spasm daily and thy vary in terms of intensity. Please and thank you.
You dont know how much i needed this video
Thank yoouuuuuuu
Brad! I just got a Huron kamvas pro 13 on Amazon thanks to YOU!!! I’m so glad I saw your channel if I didn’t see it I would not get it thanks again!!!
Is it okay...?? Huion tablet
Waiting for Artist 22R pro review.
Thanks for the review, very good as usual ! So ultimately, the pen is the same as the one on the 15.6 pro ? I read a while ago that XP-PEN was going to upgrade the pen on these devices, I wonder if they've already changed it.
the review is Really Informative! Man, plus entertaining man. I’m learned and happy. glad i saw this
Brad: This video is sponsored by me
Me: Ofcourse it is...
Hey Brad, at this point, could you recommend which you would choose to go with between the Kamvas Pro 13 or this new XP Pen Artist 13 Pro?
my parent just bought me the xp pen 13.3 drawing tablet and it was GOOD, thanks for the vid brad!
Thanks for this wonderful video!
Answer please:
What program do you draw in?
And what programs could you recommend for beginners?
Watching this on my Artist 12 Pro. The scroll wheel and the size is awesome. The only complaint is that sometimes it detects a single click as a double click, but you can disable that feature. it's a step up from my old XP Pen 10S. Also protip: buy an adjustable ergo laptop cooler to prop it up (and cool it at the same time). Hunching down is bad for posture, tilt the thing so you won't have to.
I'm considering either the 12 or 13.3, and since black friday is coming around with the sales, I want to grab this opportunity and get one! That said, is the size difference between the 12 and the 13.3 that significant? If not, then I'll go for the 12. (considering that I'm used to drawing on an iPad pro 9.7, which is already a tiny screen)
Brad, I have a question. There's the P05 stylus, that is supported to the artist 15.6 (which I have) and it's similar to the P05R/PA2 stylus that they have (just that the red circle is black, and doesn't have tilt support). Some days ago the plastic that is around the two buttons of the pen was suddenly lifting up from it's place. The buttons still work perfectly and I can place the plastic back to where it belongs but eventually it lifts up again from time to time.
Can it be the rubber grip that makes it lift (cause the rubber moves a little against the buttons) or maybe it just going out of it's place on it own?
this review really helped me! I'm looking to upgrade from my mouse to a proper tablet (I have extremely bad hand eye coordination so a display is a must for me) and I wasn't sure if the Artist 12 Pro was good or not for the ridiculously cheap price (at least compared to other display tabs)
Any updates on how you've progressed? I'm also looking to move from my mouse to possibly this tablet here but I'm afraid it won't be for me as I'm on a tight budget.
Thanks!! This is very helpful. Fantastic job! 👊
Excellent review Brad! Curious how the XP-Pen works with controlling the mouse on other displays. Works like a charm on my Cintiq - how does XP pen handle switching the cursor over to other monitors?
me: *watches this in my 12 artist pro*
Is it big enough? i am torn between 12, 13.3 and 15.6...
@@thepillowmancer same
Dorifey Try the 15.6 inch, you will love yourself for getting the larger size!
@@ayaneagano6059 do you prefer 15.6 pro over 13.3 pro?
@@RS-ld2sz yeah
When you draw at a tilted degree, does the calibration offset a little bit? (Like the cursor moves away from the pen a bit) This happens with Huion tablets so I was wondering if xp pen had it too
Can you recommend the color adjustment for the drawing display, would really help me a lot...please?
The displays come extreamly well calibrated out of the box. Perhaps a little tiny bit blue leaning but it's hardly noticeable probaly one of the most well calibrated tablets, yes, including cintiqs, right out front
Wait, what is the red ring on the left for again and what are those multiple buttons for ????
Just stumbled upon this review a few days back after looking around on a screen tablet upgrade option over my Wacom Intuos Draw (saving up for these). I was considering to get the Wacom One (would cost me a Malaysian equivalent of $400) or the 7th gen iPad (about $460), but I find them way too expensive for my liking. After asking a couple people online, I felt that the XP Pen Artist 12 Pro would be my next thing to get. It's way more affordable compared to the two options by at least $100 and coupling the price and the features make it looks like a good deal.
One question though: is this tablet touchscreen? I didn't see touchscreen mentioned anywhere, so I just wanted to verify if the screen is touch-enabled.
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to the Wacom One review for comparison.
no, you can use mouse tho
Trademark that dance brad and are the colors good out of the box or did u calibrate it, also is the pen nib springy when you press down on it?
What if I plug it to any USB C smartphone capable of handling output image or android dex?
2 people are jealous of the glove dancing skills. Great video, Brad!
Just about to get this now. Thanks
hey brad im back here cause i just got my xp pen artist 13.3 pro thank u
When I connected my artist 12 pro to my mac and turned it on it doesn't display my folders and stuff and I can't draw on it. (it functions just like a pad without screen if you understand)
what do I do now? How do I actually draw on my tablet?
Awesome to see the jitter is gone! I have one of the first XP Pen 13.3 tablets and I thought I just wasn't steady enough with my hand but... turned out the tablet jitters like crazy.
I have a question, though; my tablet has quite a bit of parallax. How is the parallax on these newer tablets?
i ordered it right after watching your vid. My dad asked me what I want this Xmas so I sent it to him. I would call him to make sure he is expecting the parcel but you know my dad... he's probably sleeping right now, hope he won't get too surprised next morning xD
Brad, while testing these XP-Pen products have you run into any issues on MacOS with regards to unresponsive pressure sensitivity and jiggly lines? I just picked up a 15.6 model and on my windows machine it works perfectly (apart from the cursor position accuracy being pretty bad), but on my MacBook Pro (2019 model) the pressure is all over the place (in the xp pen app the pressure bar moves in fits and starts unless your are actively moving the cursor) and it cant draw lines straight at all.
Any ideas? anyone?
Absolutely LOVED the glove dance! This should be a standalone video, I think.
Considering getting this or a version of this. I’m literally so picky with screen tablets and this one ticks all my boxes. Anyone in the comments with this tablet have any thoughts?
I have a question, can you put a photo on the screen and trace over it with an alternative layer and then erase the photo later? Is this the one you would recommend for the most part for a pro artist that doesn't want to spend much? Thanks for answering. What would be the best tablet between 1 and 300 dollars. Using to make a kids coloring book. I need straight sensitive (very thin to slightly wider) lines if possible. Thanks. Lastly does this tablet have more of a paper feel?
you sir, made me check the back of my drawing pen for spare nibs, i did infact have them and you saved me money from buying more ! thank you :)
Can you switch it to a left handed display (have the buttons on the right side?)
Hi! Does it heat up/have hotspots like them Huion 13.3?
Hi Brad, can you do a review after using it heavily for more than 2mos without the screen protector, because my protector is too scratched already from heavy usage and practice. I was wondering how the screen will scratch withou the protector.
nice review man. the little bit of comedy about the glove was funny haha.
Picked up the Artist 12 Pro a couple weeks ago during the XP-pen store sale for $175. My only complaints are that I wish I had gone for a bigger display and secondly, the red dial on the display was very slippery and hard to turn because I couldn't get a decent grip on it with my thumb but it seems to be getting easier. Otherwise, it's a great display and haven't had any problems with it. One more thing, I wish they had added a button or touch sensor inside the dial though it may have made the cost go up so whatever.
if price was identical would you recommend this xp pen 13.3 pro or the huion kamvas 13 pro?
Hi Brad, I have the XP-Pen 15.6 Artist and was thinking of getting the XP-Pen 12 Pro. Will both work depending upon which location I am at. That is - will I need extra drivers? Will it be able to switch easily from one location to another or will there be issues? Thanks.
Old video, but hopefully I can get a quick response. Which tablet is better, this, or a huion kamvas pro 13? They are the same price and I'm having trouble deciding
Some tablets do have a USB-C connector, does it mean that the usb-c will be enough to send power to it(like some other devices)or it only sends data ?
yes and yes
Brad please help me. Is it worth to switch to this than the Huion 13 pro? Because I bought a Huion and didn't know I needed to connect it to an outlet
Nice review. Thanks! I wish to ask that is there any lag while drawing on the tablet?
So guys i need some help, i'm so confuse it to choose between Xp pen artist 13 pro or huion kamvas 13 pro wich is both of them have same price in my country. So what do you think? should i go with Xp pen or Huion?
PS: btw i have xp pen deco 1 before, i've got it like a year ago i think and it's good enough. But i want to move with display drawing tablet.

He says he thinks you should go for xp pen but if you have already got one both are good
Just ordered 💪🏾
Hey, anyone know how we can evaluate display ? I bought 13.3 Pro but when I draw under the pen, feels that the structure of the screen is somewhat different and rough in some places. It is a issue ? or its normal ? This is my first graphic tablet
Yay! Finally, have been waiting for this!
I have a weird question can i plug the hardware on it so it could work ? Or just get a computer and this will be the monitor ?
I'm curious, does XP-Pen artist 16 pro's stylus work with this model? (or the other way around!) Are they compatible?
Loved the review! I actually bought the XP-pen artist 12 pro a few weeks ago because of your reviews about the other models of the brand. I am still waiting mine so is good to know you liked this one too. =D
What was ur opinion on it was it as good as it seems in the video??
@@cinthiago8916 Yes! The colors are a bit confusing and tend to magenta, but my main monitor is more color accurate so I just keep a navigator windows in PS opened in it so I can check from time to time. I pen broke after 1 year but a new one was ridiculous cheap. I recommend it.
I just purchased a XP PEN 12 pro and i am having some issues configuring it for Clip Studio Paint, also, my pen nibs get easily detached from the pen is that normal?
Im going to subscribe to you. You have helped me out a lot on what tablet to buy. I bought the xp-pen artist 12.. we had to send it back as the pen wasnt working for us.. I'm thinking of the xp-pen 12 pro.. or the huion kamvas pro 12. I just want one that works 🤣
This video is gonna help me start out.
