      Sir Wade Neistadt I think you could do videos on both! Definitely animation is where you are unique and have really interesting ideas and experience to share. But you are very fun to watch and I think you could do tech videos as well! Thanks for all your hard work. Have a great day!

      I found this to be very informative. I'm on my second WACOM tablet (no screen), and while I'm used to the challenge of drawing while looking at a separate monitor, I'm interested in trying something new. Money is a HUGE issue, so this is a good option.

  • @tadpoleontheweb
    @tadpoleontheweb 6 років тому +43

    Very well done. Only quibble is that not everyone might be aware that there are two classes of in-display drawing tablets. The XP-Pen series are actually computer accessories or interactive displays, meaning you will need a separate desktop or laptop running drawing or painting software.
    Then there are tablets that are actual computers, like the Wacom MobileStudio Pro, the Microsoft Surface or the Apple iPad Pro which do not require a separate computer. But these are of course much more expensive than pen displays.

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  6 років тому +17

      Very true! I hadn't considered that people may not know which type of tablet this is so good info!

    • @tadpoleontheweb
      @tadpoleontheweb 6 років тому +1

      Thanks. I’ve used an Wacom Intuos 3 and a Bamboo with my Mac until Apple released their iPad Pro. That has been a huge game changer for me. Being able to directly draw on a screen in a light and thin device that you can just throw in a knapsack has really freed up my creativity and allowed to do pro-grade illustration anywhere.

      I saw it pretty much too, even if it's easy to see and understand here and anywhere else that they are screen or not screen-tablets, there are still people that don't understand it or just don't want to look the video till the end or inform by themselves. For my opinon I wouldn't recommand an Ipad for art... for me a tablet is a tablet not a graphic tablet, it has not the same pen pressure and all. What do you think about it, you really can do everything with an Ipad like on a graphic tablet ? 🤔

  • @MaxPenguine
    @MaxPenguine 6 років тому +10

    I use it half year now.... very good item for the price. Express keys are ok, but when you try XP-Pen shortcut remote (9 keys+jog wheel), dont use them any more. Downside some paralax in corners, but dont use the monitor there so not big problem... and pen nibs are wearing fast. All other things are good. Can recommend it for the price... better than no monitor.

  • @dustnut1
    @dustnut1 5 років тому +28

    I own an xp pen artist 16 pro, and for a headsup to anyone whos looking to purchase an xp pen display tablet.
    The screen cover is questionable. The "matte" texture is all well and good, but it burns your nib to a cinder. The friction will erode it within weeks with heavy use. The texture on the cover also gets worn down, and most importantly, it washes out the colour on the display and xp pen dont sell replacements.
    I personally highly recommend taking it right off when you begin. Youll see the true colours (which are actually very good) and as long as you arent an idiot, you wont damage the glass surface(the nib is made from a softer material).

    • @JC-ov8ko
      @JC-ov8ko 5 років тому +1

      dustnut1 Hi there, did the 16 come with the screen protector? Also, does removing the protector (other than improving colors) impact your drawing any way, negatively or positively?

    • @dustnut1
      @dustnut1 5 років тому +2

      @@JC-ov8ko Hi, the tablet arrived with a matte cover. The cover did naturally protect the screen, but the texture burned down the nib and the texture also washed out the displays colours. Removing the cover showed me the true colours, and the plastic nib cannot scratch the glass screen. Removing the cover has positively affected my experience with the device.
      Just make sure ti keep it spotless and make sure nothing hard enough to scratch glass gets near it.

    Thank you for this video. I came very close to buying the XP-Pen 16 via your link until I read one of the questions on Amazon re: Bluetooth/wireless availability. If it had wireless capability I'd buy one in a heartbeat because I don't have enough space on my desk for my laptop and a drawing tablet. But I'll definitely subscribe to you because I want so much to go into animation. You are a very fortunate man to be in the industry.

    I have used xp pen for the last two years, and they are great. I had g430 and upgraded to a g640. On the 640 the port for the cable became very loose, and after a couple of emails, I had a new tablet sent from of charge, and it was actually a refined version of the earlier design, with a better cable and tighter port.

    I'm currently on my senior year of Architecture (actually I deliver my Senior Thesis in just five weeks 😫) but I always loved art and animation and I plan to get at least a minor in Concept Art. I have about a year doing digital art and even if my Intuos Draw works nicely, I'm considering buying a display tablet as a graduation gift for myself. So far the ones I liked the most are those two XP Pen model. I was afraid that maybe the 13.3 would be too small... But thanks to you now I know that it's a great size to take on the go. Not too big, but also not too small.
    So thanks :D Great channel. And it doesn't hurt that you're very cute too.

    Hi. I bought my first digital tablet lately (Artist 15.6) and I was surprised how little protection there was on the screen while using the pen. In fact, I am afraid to scratch it, after trying it a few times. Some use a film to protect it; other just say it's the price of using - and loving - your tablet. What's your opinion?

  • @Starganderfish
    @Starganderfish 5 років тому

    No mention of Parallax on most of these tablet reviews. Is it a laminated screen? Parallax is the distance between the touch screen and the pen nib when drawing. Most tablets have a layer of glass over the touch component so there is a gap of often several millimetres - so when you draw, the line appears several mm's away from the nib. Takes a LOT of getting used to. WACOM tablets are a laminated screen with very low parallax so the line draws exactly where the pen nib is pointing, I believe Huion tablets are also now featuring this benefit. From what I have read both of these tablets have parallax fo 1-1.5mm. May not seem like much but when drawing, if the line appears that far away from where the pen is, it's hard to get details accurate.
    Also, neither tablet supports tilt or rotation, which is valuable for shading, brush work etc.

I really want to further improve my animation skills as I only really started focusing on 3D character animation in september 2017 due to the way the course worked. I was wondering if you had any tips on how to really improve your animation skills as, even though I would absolutely love to apply to animation mentors, I don't currently have the funds. Since watching your videos you have already inspired me so much and have made me less nervous about getting myself out there but I know that my skills need major improving if I ever want to achieve my dream of working at a major company :)

      I just watched Whiz on your channel- I literally Lol'd at the end hahaha really nice work!! You definitely already on a great path, I think the next two things to do are to keep challenging yourself with more projects- small projects to test yourself and build your skills in ways that you enjoy (which is harder to do when you leave school and don't have assignments given to you- now it's on you to assign them to yourself and to give yourself deadlines that you have to stick to and actually finish the projects by).. and the second thing is to join a community of other animators to get feedback from and grow with! AnimatedBuzz is a good animation social network to join, in addition to all the Facebook groups on animation, and hopefully the comments on this channel eventually :) Does that help at all?

Question tho can you draw while your hand is on top of the tablet just like a regular sketch book. Or will it make lines?

    I am a traditional artist and planning to try digital art. I’ve been looking for tablets like these where you can just draw directly on the screen and so far this is the best video I’ve seen. I understand that these tablets need a computer to work. But, does the performance of a tablet depend on the computer specs?

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  6 років тому +1

      Yes and no, the computers sorrrrt of impact tablet performance, but it's more about your computer's ability to handle A) The Software, and B) The additional input from the tablet. So it's less about the computer handling the tablet specifically, and more about the computer's ability to handle and run the software and other peripherals in general. Pretty much any computer or laptop can handle the tablets no problem. The question is which tools are you using, and how heavily will you be using them? Just getting started I think you have very little to worry about :)

  • @Artsy.Journeys
    @Artsy.Journeys 6 років тому +2

    Okay . . . so, questions following the review; is this definitely something you would recommend for someone who is starting school and wants a tablet to start practicing digital art? Is it as comparable to the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro as I would hope? Are there art programs that come pre-installed? Photoshop is quite expensive. The new 16 inch I found on Amazon, could I still use it as a mobile device without it constantly being uplinked to the computer? My computer is a little older. It does use Windows 10 but I don't think it would be a good match to this device and I don't have the moo-la to get a new computer at the moment.
    Maybe it would help to say that my area of study is Visual Arts and Illustration. However I would like to tinker a little with animation and 3D modeling, primarily to expand my interest and practice the field to see if maybe I could broaden my degree. I like the larger screen size even though it would be a little harder to carry. The price point is the best, I think. From what I have seen, this device does have a type of Wacom tablet quality at a good price. But does it still work the same? What is the battery life?
    I am looking at reviews on Amazon to get a good idea of the write tablet for me, but I wanted to ask here, too. Get some feed back from other sources.
    Thank you for the vid, by the way. It's nice to know there are other sources out there that won't put me in bigger debt than I am already in. ^^

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  6 років тому +1

      Hey! Lemme just first clarify the most important thing- this is nothing at all like the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro. That thing is ridiculously cool, but expensive- and I don't think even that beautiful monster is the right choice if you're starting school, getting started with this, or in debt. No way man. I should probably do a video specifically on this topic, but in the meantime: Save your money and get yourself a "starter tablet". Hopefully you already have a laptop that can run the program's you need, at least well enough to get by. You should be focused on buying a tablet that also works well enough for you to get by, so that you can see what you like and try things out before sinking all your money into a tool that you may not use to its full potential this early in your studies and in your creative pursuits. That way, you can test things out and still have the ability to buy something different once you have some experience with any kind of tablet at all- it'll help you decide what's important to you. As for this tablet in the video, think of this as a computer monitor that you can write on as a mouse input. It needs to be plugged in to work, and that's something you should definitely plan on no matter which tablet you buy. Few tablets are standalone with a full operating system, and pretty much all of those will be expensive compared to what you should be spending now. So start small, either with one of the tablets I show in this video, or with one of the non-display Wacom Intuos or Bamboo series tablets

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  6 років тому +1

      Basically I don't want you to spend all your money right now, you just need something to get started and play around with. I used a smaller tablet without a screen for years and did just fine, you upgrade when you need to- and more importantly, when you have some experience to help guide you in making the right purchase for something that's more expensive as an upgrade. I hope this helps! I'll try to make a video about this topic soon

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  6 років тому +1

      @@Artsy.Journeys Depends on your budget! the way I used to decide whether I could afford something in college, was to see if I could buy something twice. If I had enough money in my bank account to buy two of the same thing (not that I actually would have bought two) and still be okay, then I decided I could afford it. But everyone has a different system. Anyways, if you can afford the 13 inch, go for it! If not, either save up for it if you have a job or can get one for a while, or buy something without the screen that's cheaper- like $150 range. But yeah, I think as long as you're spending less than like $300/$350 you're in a good starter budget. Try to invest in the combo of a starter tablet and software like Photoshop :)

    Is it like a own computer and you use it like a normal computer (like you are downloading your programs on it) but it's better to animate with it because it is a drawing tablet at the same time?
    Or is it just a drawing tablet and you have to connect it with your computer to work with it?

    tech Q: I have a new PC build going with an X399 mobo with 8 RAM slots. I originally, months prior to getting all the parts, bought 6 sticks of RAM, (6x4Gb each), for 24 Gb. Now I have the rest of the parts ready to put together. I did not realize you have to use 4 or 8 sticks in the 8 slots on the mobo. Could I actually go with adding 2x16Gb sticks (32Gb) in the remaining two slots for 56Gb of 2400MHz RAM, ( the 24 Gb are 2400MHz, the 2x16Gb are 2400MHz ), instead of only adding 2x4Gb (8Gb) ?
    It's recommended for using Houdini app for doing water sims to have minimum 32Gbs RAM, better with 64Gbs. but I don't want to ditch the 24Gbs I already have just yet (budget). Is doing 56Gbs of all 2400MHz RAM workable? I'm anxious to start using the PC rather than being stuck in building mode much longer. Would this work? Where else could I ask to find the answer?

    • @SirWade
      @SirWade  5 років тому

      I'm fairly certain it's bad practice to combine non-uniform RAM amounts across different sticks of memory.. So I think the best course of action would be to try to sell the RAM you already have and try to buy 8GB or 16GB cards to keep all the sticks consistent. I had the same question once and that's what I was told :)
