XP-Pen Artist Glove: amzn.to/2M9Q3wH
This is a Budget tablet with a lot to offer for that budget. It's easy to do great artwork on a large tablet with a decent stylus that has over 8000 levels of pressure. Sure it's missing a lot of the bells & whistle of the more expensive tablets but if you're at the beginning of your creative journey then this could be a great place to start! Take a look at my 'Draw Tests' in this review and see what you think.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this tablet and my other reviews.
Until next time, keep on creating!
Lawrence.

Hi Lawrence, love your reviews. I was inspired to pick up the 22E from amazon, but that code you've listed doesn't seem to work. This is Amazon AU.
XPEN22EP is the correct code? cheers,
i want to ask do XP-PEN Innovator 16 - Tablet do like this lighting colors that you did in this video because i am thinking to buy one ?..because i really like the lighting drawing effect ore this afecctes only in this tablet 22E Pro?
Idk why, but to finally find an artist thats also a lefty puts a doofy smile on my face.
Sure theres probably many out there but you're the first I've found!
Haha. One of these days I'm gonna make pin badges!!
I know Im abit late but I have to agree, I am also a left handed artist and its funny bcuz now its 2020 and xp now has a 22r pro that also comes with the glove and yet they
didn't make any design changes to the glove for left handed people. A minor thing but still I thought it was interesting. However I do like the fact that the new 22r pro pens no longer require you to charge them.
Also a lefty! Artist and animator. :)
Hi, thanks for the review. Very unbiased and you get to the main points. I have just bought one of these, and been using it for 5 weeks now. I used to own the old Wacom Cintiq 12WX, and have only used Wacom tablets for about 18 years now. So when I was looking around for another wacom, I had to do a lot of research to decide if an alternative would be ok as a professional. One thing I don't agree with is you say that this model is not for a professional. I am one, and I find it quite suitable, even coming from a Wacom only background. But, like you point out, there are some things missing. A few points that I would like to see changed.
1. Parallax. The screen is a bit too thick for my liking. It is however the exact same as the older Wacom Cintiq 22HD. But, as things are progressing so fast with these tablets, it is essential to have the thinnest possible screen!
2. Pen nibs. I had a problem with the set of nibs I received in my setup. For some reason, they where softer than normal, and after using one nib for about 2 weeks, it had worn down to a point already, and ended up scratching the plastic screen guard slightly. Not something you notice when the screen is on, but still, it is there. But XP Pen where very good and sent me a new set of nibs and a new screen protector, if I wanted to install that. The new nibs seem to be made of a harder plastic, like the wacoms, and so far have not been wearing down.
3. Stand. Here I agree with you. They need to come up with something different and new. This one is fine. It's solid when locked into position, and has a good range of tilt settings. I move mine slightly off the desk at the bottom, so that I can have it closer to me. And I find the bottom stand gets in the way.
4. Side buttons. The reason I bought this model, is for the express buttons on the side. Very important for me, as that is how I like to setup my workspace. I hardly use the keyboard, so this was perfect. They have a very good amount of programming options for the keys, 16 different settings in all, so no problem there. But, I find working in a dark room, or at night, that the keys disappear, and I struggle to find the one I am looking for just by feel alone. XP should make the keys a slightly lighter grey, or maybe outline the buttons with a lighter colour, just to make them more recognizable out the corner of your eye. One other point, is I keep bumping some of them on the right hand side (I am right handed) when I go to use the on screen menus. So maybe here they need to set the keys sunk into the tablet more, and not so sticking up as they are now.
5. Pen. Here again, the pen is one reason I got this. Love that it has over 8000 levels of pressure sensitivity! I have a very soft touch, and this pen performs extremely well with light pressure. The only gripe I have is the soft squishy feel built into the pen. The wacom pens are all much "harder", and don't have that much give in the nib travel. I prefer that feeling. As that is what most real pencils and pens feel like. This is a bit like drawing with a soft felt tip pen. Some people prefer this, but for me, I want to harder wacom experience.
So, all in all, a very worthwhile product, especially for the price here in South Africa! As a wacom here is triple the price! So really not and option for most people. I am loving the size screen, and I find myself wanting to draw a lot more now. But, I still have my heart set on a Wacom with that new thin screen! Maybe I will save up for one in the future.
Thanks for sharing your story, that was great to hear Clint! Keep that up fella. Very valuable for the community to read these kinds of things!
I've used more modern tablets as you might have seen on my channel, like the 27QHD Touch and the Dell Canvas - Being a working professional I can only give my opinion about how I fee. Of course a pr' can use anything but it's a matter of if I'd want to use it or if I'd rather spend more and offset it against my earnings because that's worth doing to make more money in the long run - in this case I say yes.
You're coming from the 12WX. I had the 21UX which is from the same range. An older Wacom. What's that? About 8 years? I think that's when I got mine. I didn't have the 12WX so I'll have to compare against the 21UX.
1) Parallax on the 21UX was quite a lot compared to modern Wacom's and other tablets so I'm surprised you were bothered so much by this. Maybe you were just expecting better due to phone and iPad screens, I'm not sure? I didn't have the 22HD either. I skipped that one and waited but I thought the parallax on it was fine. I'll show the Parallax off in the comparison video for anyone else reading this but it wasn't 'world ending' from my point of view. I can't really remember it so it can't of been a massive issue.
2) Nibs. Mine were really hard! I sanded them a bit after the review to get them softer. As I said in the video though I'd like to see rubber nibs, spring nibs, felt nibs etc.
3) Stand. I might show this on the Ergotron arm. Then again, you can just follow one of my other Ergotron videos! I think a good arm will vastly improve this tablet though!! What would you do with the stand? (Other than having it on an arm?
4) Hotkeys. Ooooh... Illuminated hotkeys!! That would be good, wouldn't it!!!
5) Pen. Wacom stylus all the way for me but as I said, they've got 30yrs experience and the patents to make sure nobody can touch their stuff. They've done the R&D and they put the time into the little things. When I've talked to them I've realised how much they concentrate on the materials etc. If brands like XP-Pen can do the same then they will gain a loyal following. It's good to know your experience on the Stylus. What do you think and how the actual tablet feels when you're holding that?
Thanks again for the feedback Clint - Love hearing what people think of tech I'm looking at. Especially people who have used it longer than me. One big question I want to ask... Customer Services! Have you had any experience with them? What were they like?
Hi Lawrence, thanks for the reply.
Yup, the parallax thing is a strange beast. When you do have to live with it, it kinda goes away and you don't really notice it. I think my problem was that I recently had the chance of working on one of the latest Wacom Cintiq Pros, 32inch, and it got my brain noticing parallax more.
Stand, I have never tried an Ergotron arm yet, so can't really say if that's the route I would take. I kinda like having the monitor off the desk a bit, towards my lap. So, if someone could come up with a stand that allows that, I would be interested. I suppose the E arm would allow it, haha!
"What do you think and how the actual tablet feels when you're holding that?" I like it. I think it has a good thickness that you can hold onto sometimes around the edges. I generally keep my left hand up on the side with the keys, so nice to have a bit of space there. I also love the size. When I was using the Cintiq 32. I found it too big. Having to reach over quite far to find the menus etc. So for me, this size is perfect. Would be nice if Wacom did a Cintiq 22 pro version, but don't think they will.
As for customer service, that is one of the reasons I got this model and make. I delt with a local guy, who represents XP pen in SA, and does all the importing and feedback. I have had nothing but awesome service from them and XP themselves. No qualms there! And I think XP are very aware of how creatives want them to make changes. They have done some huge leaps in a very short time!
Something interesting. When I was ordering mine, it was at the same time that the big animation studio, TriggerFish (they did Khumba and Zambezi) here in SA were looking at getting a few for their studio space. They ended up getting 4 put in. Wacoms are the best, but here in SA, are unfortunately incredibly expensive with all the import and tax duties added on!!
If you've been working with older tablets the the 32" seems like a huge difference doesn't it! But it's not too different from a lot of other modern tablets in truth.
You want an arm but you want to have the tablet slightly on your lap too - I do have my Tablet on the Ergotron arm and it comes across the desk and slightly onto my lap. It all depends on which arm you get, how you mount it and how you sit. Just measure up properly and you'll be fine. A lot of people clamp them on the back of the desks and they don't reach as far. Watch my Ergotron install videos and you'll see I have mine in the perfect spot!!
Glad to hear you've had good experiences with XP-Pen. I like hearing customer service stories - good & bad! It's a big part of my recommendation process.
XP-PEN Artist22E Pro vs. Huion Kamvas GT-221 / Pro 22 Review smackdown, please! (actually, a GT221 vs Pro 22 would be awesome too!) :D They all seem very similar :S
lol. Getting a few votes for this! It will happen!!! Oh yes!!
I would love to see that.
Yes! I was about to say the same! After all black friday is coming!
yes please
is he gonna do it? already 8months have passed
You speak slowly and that make me understand your english... YOU'RE GREAT!!!
Glad to hear that helps!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAWi have a question, why you speak slowly?
so that people can understand me. I hate channels where people speak to quickly.
Lawrence Mann haha I set the speed to 1.25, the video wasn’t necessarily drawn out, you just spoke a bit too slow for my taste
Now I think they should totally call tablets "Enterprise" and "Excelsia" these sound epic!!! The dragons look awesome :O :D
But the 2nd version would have to be called Enterprise B and so on... ;D haha!
By far my favorite review you literally went over everything and I live for that
Thanks Monica! Subscribe for more ;)
hi lawrence thanks for replying - tv paint is for animation - bought the xp pen 22e - will post a clip of what the tv paint does next week
Sounds great Anthony - I look forwards to finding out more!
You must be really old? I started designing and drawing digitally in junior high school and am turning 43 and still only squeezed in around 22 professional years? Great review thanks, my 22e is by far one of the most useful and most used pieces of kit in my life, I agree with most of your points although I find the hotkeys to be more than sufficient for my process and style. In terms of price I got mine for about what you would pay for a second-hand iMac which is great, I feel most reviewers make the mistake of saying this thing "should have come with" naming features of the highest-end devices at 6-8 times the price! For my money this thing is much more than I expected, it handles commercial illustration and product design work as well as hobby/personal work, suits my workspace and pen battery life, nib quality is as good as Wacom, functions perfectly with all my software and I am actually preferring it over the studio owned high end device I used to use.
OLD!!!! I'm in my 40s! True but that just means I'm professional and experienced but also very young & awesome at the same time. I still feel like 17 was yesterday. Although true... all modern music sucks and you should turn it down!!!! Especially when you walk past my big expensive house ;)
Hello Mr. Mann! After an almost 30 hiatus from drawing (a career in the military) I have recently picked up the pencil and sketch pad to rekindle my love for drawing. While doing research on what's popular these days I started to see more and more reviews of these crazy drawing tablets things. Yes, I know they've been around for quite some time now but I wanted to just get back to my roots so to speak. Well during that time I seen several videos in which many talented artist said that what you do on paper will take time to carry over on screen. If that's the case, why spend money on more pencils, books, Prismacolor pencils, markers, masking fluid, water colors...you get the idea. I'll just get one of these thingamajigs and begin anew. So with that said, while watching about 20 or so reviews on many other manufactures I believe I'm sold on this one. Thank you for the review, you got a big thumbs up and a new sub.
Glad I could help you PmC. Have fun this and welcome to the community! Drawing on a tablet at least allows you the ability to click undo when you draw something you don't like. Have you got a PC or a Mac?
Try this as a good basic app to get you started: sketchbook.com - It's free and if you like digital art then you can move up to something more substantial like Affinity Photo: affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ It's cheaper than Adobe Photoshop and it'll do a great job but is more complex than Skexbook in the first link.
Thank you for the advice Mr. Mann! I'll be working off of my PC and also wanted to say thanks for the coupon code! I've already been playing around with Krita but I'll check out these two tonight.
Personally I think they are better than Krita but it's all personal opinion. I also like Sketchable. You can check out playlist on that app and see if you like the look of that app!
Haha, I've already downloaded both and my 22E should arrive on Saturday. Seriously, what do I know lol. I'm not ignoring advice from a pro (loved your vid from earlier this week! That lighting on his face was amazing!)! At any rate, I'm super excited to get this next journey in my life started. Thank you for the suggestions!
FINALLY a fellow lefty
There's a lot of us out there! I might post a video and see how many watch it!
I'll let you know how it goes, I just purchased one of these. Waiting on it to arrive.
Tweet some pics at me @LAWRENCEcanDRAW or tag me on Facebook ;)
Can u connect directly to your pc and use as a primary monitor avoid the need of having a 2nd monitor ?
Yes you can!
Great review and awesome dragon! I've been using the last generation Cintiq for quite a while and I've yet to upgrade to a 1440p monitor solution let alone 4K, but I can imagine it being jarring to step down to 1080p again after doing so, especially since you're a professional that works with a lot of premium tools that have already adapted to newer screen resolutions.
I agree with you that these Wacom competitors need to step it up in terms of what they can do on their own (Huion and XP-Pen are trying the hardest, especially with their pad tablets, so we're getting there, I think). However, I'm impressed by how far their technology has gotten. A few years ago I barely knew these companies existed and invested in a smaller Cintiq, now XP-Pen and Huion are everywhere with 8k pressure levels, large working areas, and (at least with Huion, but supposedly XP-Pen are working on it) tilt, and decent screen tablets that are less expensive than Wacom's top-of-the-line pad tablet! I feel kind of cheated. lol
I think given some time, they'll become even bigger to the point where they'll give Wacom a run for their money. As much I love Wacom products, I loathe their inflated prices, so when the day comes where competition makes them seriously consider adjusting their prices to reasonable amounts, I'll be happy. It's like how it used to be standard to rent movie from Blockbuster. Now Blockbuster is dead and we all have Netflix. Standards are always changing, and Wacom's got to do more with their future products than reduce the parallax and raise the pressure levels in order to stay king, at least not at the prices of a used car (+ removing express keys on the Cintiq line + selling necessary accessories like the ugly stand/keyboard/remote separately at ridiculous prices).
It's just so mind-blowing that I could get my little sister a screen digitizer tablet with 8k levels of pressure sensitivity for Christmas at just under $300 (the XP-Pen Artist12), at that age I had to save up to that kind of money on my own just to buy an Intuos pad tablet! Even with a Cintiq, I think I've become a fan of XP-Pen simply because of that... and also how awesome their pad tablets are. At this point I don't even think Wacom's entry-level Intuos tablets are worth it for budget consumers - tilt and rotation are variable needs and aren't going to be what beginners know they'll be paying a premium for anyway, with those functions out of the equation, XP-Pen pad tablets are just as good as the Intuos Pro at a much more easy-to-swallow price.
I think it would be interesting to see a modern 2-in-1 tablet laptop utilize UC Logic digitizers, kind of like how HP and Samsung use Wacom EMR tech for their 2-in-1's i.e. the Zbook x2. UC-Logic pen technology is definitely the closest pen experience to Wacom EMR compared to that N-Trig garbage (which is usable but far from ideal), and if there were a mobile drawing solution that would be a true alternative to the Wacom MobileStudio Pro, THAT might be the competition we were all waiting for. Heck, if XP-Pen or Huion themselves ever decide to jump onto alternatives to the MSP and a more preferable solution for hobby artists than the Surface Pros, I'd be all over that.
I've been hoping for one of the 'Wacom Alt' companies to create a MobileStudio or Surface Book alternative but I think this is still a few years off. We're still waiting on Hi-Res screens. Fingers crossed it won''t take too long!
It seems from my research that there might only be four tablet manufacturers out there and some of them use multiple sub-names so it looks like there are many more. Wacom are the only ones who spend real money on R&D and I understand they spend more on certain components which means their prices are higher. They've also been around for almost 40 years which gives them that massive head start. However, there is other info. I'm gonna do a whole video later on showing why exactly the prices are higher and how the brands work - It's a delicate thing though. The kind of info that will get some likes and some hate but it's all well sourced so is fact.
A really good preview. I'll definitlely go for this one.
Thanks man !
No worries. Sub for more reviews - it really does help :) Cheers Mirano!
Can you still recommend it without reservation? I'm about to buy one and I'm wondering whether it's already out of date
This feel any different than the Huion GT221 pro you used? The numbers seem to be identical but the price is about 1/2... Textured screen?
I'm planning to do a Comparisons video so explain the exact differences between the two tablets. There are a few but are there $400 worth? I think if you're an amateur artists you're probably not going to see them. I'd like to do a little research though and see what users of each brand have found with Customer Service too.
I ordered XP-Pen, I'm looking forward to comparing with Huion, an excellent review)
Yes the screen protector is textured. Aside from the touch bars the two are identical in stats.
would definitely love to see a comparison between this and the huion kamvas GT-221. Also, how's the initial activation force?
planning on getting a large tablet, and wacom is waaayyyy out of my price range
Not too bad. Pretty much the same as the Huion to be fair. I can't believe I didn't film the pen tests on this one :P Bit of an oversite but I'll get that when I do the comparison - Stay subscribed!!
also, not to bug you further, but I only just learned a newer version of the GT-221 just got recently released - the Kamvas pro 22. do you think you might be looking at that anytime soon? apparently its pen doesn't need to be recharged...!
Fingers crossed I will get a look at that too!!!
I bought this about 3 months ago but haven't used it just yet, I've set it up today. Any tips?
Can it be used to draw the Ki-Ellian alphabet?
That is a very specific question my friend. The answer is YES.
Hello, can i know what you use for painting ?
I use Corel Painter, Photoshop and Sketchable as my 3 main applications.
im planning ob buy it but ihave a question ? can I use it as a monitor for ps4 too ?
Haven't tried this one but I have tried similar tablets with a PS4 and they work fine. No reason it shouldn't! End of the day it's just a monitor with a pen! Have fun!!!
You are really good at drawing respect
Thanks Ibrahim :D
Thanks Lawrence 😊 just bought this drawing tablet for zbrush/mudbox
Hope you enjoy it! Do me a favour and Tweet about it - Tag me @LAWRENCEcanDRAW & @XPPen too - it really helps!!
Just ordered the XP-PEN Artist22 Pro (the one without the buttons) for $382 , I'll be back with thoughts when it comes in the mail
Yeah I know everyone has talked about this because it's the 'upgrade' but I kinda prefer a tablet with hotkeys still!! Let me know how you get on. I'd be very interested to here. Did you consider buying this one or was it a done deal for you?
Well for me, I just use a Wiimote and Joy2Key for my express keys, not only is it wireless and more ergonomic, but I also get an extra button.
As for the tablet itself, I'm very impressed with it so far. The only differences are the lack of express keys, the placement of the cable port (on the bottom of the unit), and the lack of an included screen protector. It seems for whatever reason you only get the matte screen protector included if you get the Pro version (I did not know this)
My question to you is did you use the screen protector in this video or not? I can't quite tell from the footage if there is one applied or not.
Because I'm drawing with my right hand, I wouldn't be using he buttons on the right side.
so? how is it? is the XP-PEN treating you good? been able to do any decent work with it?
It's great, I'm still sorta sad I didn't get to try the matte screen protector but I've adapted to the glass surface.
No qualms with the unit so far.
I got the first gen xppen in 2015. It got hit by lightning last year😣 however as a newbie web comic artist it surved me well. This review really solidified my desician to upgrade to th 22e pro. I can't afford to buy a wacom cintiq. I'm a beginner in the biz and haven't made any money off of my art yet. So I believe the 22e pro will do the job in the meantime. Thanks for the review it really helped me out.
Ps new subscriber I love you artwork😊
I love to see that you're left-handed too. I think this is also quite important to see how well it can be used if you use another hand
All the best artists are ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW got that tablet and it works like a charme :3
Glad you're happy! Hope my review helped ;)
Great review man!! And that dragon head is spectacular!
Thanks buddy - always good to hear ;) I'll be releasing that as a separate tutorial soon. And the Dog!!
i picked this up as a starter tablet, i love it and have had the most fantastic time...it is ligit my first tablet...how ever i watched many reviews upon this tablet alone...ive seen yours and a few others to decided which is a good starter one for myself. thanks :D
Good first tablet to go for. Glad I could help ;) #SpreadTheWord Share a video!
@100dayslate i really love it still, works like a charm! i havent had anything bad happen with it. though get some type of screen protector for it, when i got it i was told there was no protector for it. i have a few scratches from the pen.
pens are amazing and last days on a charge
I’m very happy you are reviewing also cheap brands Lawrence. Your point of view can be useful for amateurs and beginners :)
That's it! I wanted to give a fair perspective and help everyone in the community. #SpreadTheWord
Hi. I just discovered the video. I'm a beginner artist (learning photoshop) and want to do digital art. I never used a drawing tablet before. Is this one recommended for a beginner like me?
Thanks.
It's a great tablet for artists who are looking for their first tablet. It'll help you get serious about your craft. A nice big screen and a half-decent stylus like this will really help you move your skills up with enough practice!!! Good luck Marinus. Let me know how you get on @LAWRENCEcanDRAW
I think they literally took every suggestion you made and added it to the 22R
A lot of companies do watch my content and I do also give feedback directly to a lot of top companies too ;)
Funny Guy for 200 more
i just locked it up... the Flash Drive looks to be at most 8gb
Maybe I was wrong or maybe it is different for different people. Thanks for the info! I'll double check that but either way, a free memory stick is better than a CD - I think we can all agree on that!!
Will the Artist22E Pro work without having to install additional software like Storyboard Pro on my computer system? Does it come with its own ready to use software such that I only have to connect it to my 🖥 to use it?
You have to download the drivers and install them.
Hi Lawrence! I really like your review! Thanks a lot! Is this product comes with software - like Corel or similar? I have the Corel Essentials from my Wacom Intuos. Is it possible to use this software/ license on this Xpen, if I achieve it? Best regards.
Not that I know of but yes you can carry on using all your old software without without any problems!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thank you very much, Lawrence! I just bought this masterpiece. From your review, I think it is a really good deal.
No worries - Do me a favour back? Shout me out in a Tweet (or FB) @LAWRENCEcanDRAW & @XPPen - just helps a lot when companies know I have helped ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I will ;-)
Awesome Sause!!! P.S. New video up today ;)
Just got mine, love it but I sculpt with it not draw. Don’t care for the nib. U mention sand paper to make it smoother ? Any other ideas ?
You can get large generic screen protectors on Amazon. But applying them is hard because you can get bubbles - it depends how confident you are.
Would my mum who loves to paint and draw, and is really good at it, be able to get to grips with this, shes 58?
Or is it easy to learn to use
Yeah, it's simple enough to use a drawing tablet. It's the software that can be tricky but some of it like Sketchable is nice and simple to use, especially with UA-cam videos to watch. Just depends if she wants to put the time in! Wish your mum good luck if she decides to take it up Barry!
The pen is 8192 pressure sensitivity, but what about the monitor? is it 8192 or 5080 pressure sensitivity?
Very nice video Lawrence!
I was wondering how is the parallax effect on this tablet, and also if there is any wobbling while drawing slow straight lines?
Maybe I can help answer your question. The parallax is the same as the older Wacom Cintiq 22 HD. There is a bit of distance between the pen and the display. But, it is something you do get used too. Having said that, I have tried out the new Wacom's with almost no parallax, and that is soooooo goooood! I have just seen a post about the new Huion Kamvas Pro 22, and it looks like they have drastically reduced their parallax. I should have waited before buying this one. As for wobbly lines, I only get those with Photoshop. For some reason it is a problem with PS CS6. And I have not yet been able to find a solution online for it. I use Sketchbook Pro for sketching and painting though, and it is perfect. Also very good in Illustrator and Animate. I have heard it works perfectly in all the other major drawing software. I love this XP pen, but, as I pointed out in my earlier post, it does need some changes.
Thanks for the answer! :-)
Nice reply Clint ;) Like having the afternoon off for me. I like it when people jump in on the comments. Awesome teamwork folks!
I use Photoshop CC - latest version and no wobbly lines. The parallax isn't bad on this. A couple of mm. You can watch this whole 30min video and there are no wobbly lines so that's good. If people still expect to great results from older Photoshop when they run it on a new 64bit OS it wasn't designed for then they are gonna hit some snags - that isn't the tablet to blame - just bad reviewers. lol. Some apps like Sketchbook etc have 'line smoothing' which can and can't be a good thing. Photoshop has it now and Sketchable has it as well. I personally don't like it because it ads lag to your stroke but it also trows of the testing of straight lines.
That's my two cents! Clint covered most of it though!
Ive only drawn with markers and pencils on paper, but someone stole my pens, pencils and markers and i cant blow 1700$ for new sets. so im looking into getting one of these. only thing im a little confused on is if i need to buy the software or not.
Yes you need software and you'll need a computer to hook this up to. Think of this as a fancy monitor. You can get pretty good free software such as GIMP to start with. It's obviously not as good as the industry standard Photoshop or Corel Painter but it will get you going! Your computer will obviously need to be up to scratch for whatever software you use!!
Are you still planning on doing the xp-pen 22e vs Huion pro or 16inch??? I’m super curious for that
Hey, thanks for the video, what is the difference between the XP-PEN 22 Pro 1st gen vs 2nd gen? I ordered one 2 handed but new (wrapped in the original plastic) I paid very good price (half) and I wonder if I did good. Is it still working good? I know this is the E version but I think is more or less the same except for the buttons right?
Better quality screen and pen specs. It has been a while so I would so I would say head to the site and double check the spec sheets to be sure.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Ty for the reply
Does it actually have pressure sensitivity in Adobe Illustrator? It seems they had some issues with that in the past as XP-PEN answered at Amazon on March 7, 2017: "Hi, this tablet does not has pressure sensitivity on Illustrator now. We are trying to solve this problem."
Did they fix that?
Thanks!
Adobe just released updates to CC yesterday so I haven't tested it with the latest version yet. Which version are you using though?
72% Color Gamut affects more in end results or not ?, Is that a worrying matter for a digital artist or it is far enough to do digital painting? (also for print designs?)
Hi quick question from ordering how long did you wait for the package to arrive
Depends what country you're in. Also I think the holidays might impact delivery times. How long ago did you order?
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW just today
Haha. Well, Christmas and New Years always slow down delivery. If you don't get it in two weeks then you should chase it then. In the meantime you can ask them for a tracking number which might help ease the anguish. You'll need to provide an order number in order to get that. Not all companies like to provide that information.
It seems pretty obvious that these “budget” tablets are not there yet in terms of build, construction, design and above all, features. Not that i’m defending Wacom but all these chinese brands look like they are not trying hard enough and It’s not just a matter of pricing - we really need a true Wacom competitor.
I too used to refer to them all as 'Chinese' but after a lot of research it seems that the companies are mostly based in Taiwan! and some in Japan. Manufacturing in China but hey, isn't that everyone (including Apple!!). True the build isn't Wacom but you get what you pay for and if you are paying a third or a quarter of the price then you make the sacrifice somewhere. Right now I'm just taking an unbiased look at as many of these tablets as possible and trying not to do the whole 'Wacom comparison' thing - every other review I've seen does that and if you've seen my channel then you know I'm a big Wacom fan - nothing has changed there!! I just want to be a little more educated about the market so I can tell people to 'go jump' when they call me a 'Fanboy' or a 'Wacom Shill'. lol.
Wacom are as good as they are because they have been around since the 80's and they are the only company who put that amount of money into R&D. I welcome competitors because competition breeds innovation which only means better tablets for us artists!! Trouble is... We need another company to put the money into R&D and the manufacturing. That would have to be a big company. Somebody like Dell perhaps. That might work if Dell bought one of the companies like Huion and developed it! They already did their Canvas and that was great!
Lawrence i get your point. The graphic tablets market is a niche market, not everybody uses them, not everybody is ready to part with a substantial amount of money for one of these. If anyone would feel ready to invest seriously in it, the economic return might not be as quick and significant, so the question remains - will we see a true Wacom alternative in a near future? I sincerely hope so - something from Apple would be great, but i'm afraid its just wishful thinking... Keep up the good work!
I want the same thing! Competition in the market place. I'm looking for it! Honestly... I don't know. I think these brands want to occupy the space underneath Wacom - getting the amateur and semi-pro users who don't want to spend the big money. Letting the big spenders buy Wacom! I really don't think we will see a competitor and I don't think there's room in the market for one. Wacom isn't as big as everyone thinks.
I talk to a lot of people in the industry and I'm pretty sure we won't see anyone take on Wacom. At least not for the nest few years. Not unless something major happens. iPad Pro, Surface and these folks are all chipping away at Wacom's profits meaning less room for any competitor too! So the smaller mobile tablets are your only other options really in the future :O
Hi Mr. Man. I have just found your UA-cam channel of painting on different digital tools. It is pretty amazing to watch you doing your art . I was wondering if you ever tried your art on the Lenovo Yoga book, Android version. It is also equipped with a stylus. Also, Lenovo is considering a second version of the tablet, with more power. What are your thoughts about it ? Thanks in advance for any comments on my question.
Hi Rene, Welcome to the community! It's great to meet you. I had a Lenovo Yoga Book for a short while. I was very interesting. I had the Windows version. Unfortunately it has gone now. I enjoyed it immensely while I had it. I would very much like to try the new one when it arrives. I didn't have any Android devices when I had the Yoga Book but now I use Android on my Phone so I think it would be a perfect match by the artwork you can see me doing on the Note 8 videos here on my channel!!
Nice work Lawrence. The number 1 feature I really want in these cheaper tablets is SIZE! Are you getting any whiffs of 27-30 inch modes coming down the pipeline? I cant even get a big wacom these days, with the 27qhd discontinued and no sign of the 32 to be seen (and i imagine it will be obscenely expensive when it does come out)
I completely agree!! I'm really surprised we haven't seen some 27" screens out there. With the 32" Wacom coming out it would be great to see some 32" competitors too. Obviously they wouldn't be a match but I always tell people that screen size is soooo important. Resolution is not as important as size. You don't need 4k but the size is king!!
Thanks for your comment here & welcome to the community ;D I think it will happen. I think it must just be cost issue at the moment that is stopping them. #ShareTheVideo!
thank you sooooo muuuch. Awesome review
Thanks Dobby ;)
I would agree with the tech-specs, they are reasonably good for the price. I also agree with the softer tip mentioned, as that could help longevity of the screen itself. I have seen some pictures of warn out models using the same hard tip. Yet, I do use the 12 model, which is not bad. But, I am going to get this 22 model. Just because it has more room to work with. You never know, maybe under all that hardcore plastic... there might be some secrets to be uncovered XD
I always say the two main things to look for in a tablet are the quality of the pen and the size of the tablet. So your reasons for upgrading are fine. A 12" is good but can feel cramped when you've got the UI of the application taking up room. A 22" will feel a lot better for you.
thanks so much for your honest review and the pros and cons!
My pleasure!
I can't... you seem so wholesome and sweet, i cant keep a straight face while watching this--
I am a sweet pussy cat. It's true :)
Just bought this from Amazon UK, thank you so much for the 10% off code :) Currently I use my iPad Pro 9.7 with the Apple Pencil and the intous 5 Medium on my computer with a pen that barely has a nib left.
Happy to help :D Let me know how you get on with it @LAWRENCEcanDRAW on Twitter!! & Welcome to the community!
Does Photoshop come with this? If not can I use other software like Fire Alpaca, which I already have?
Photoshop is a subscription piece of software now. It doesn't come with any hardware. Drawing tablets are basically monitors for your existing computers so whatever software you already have will work fine! Hope that helps Krista!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW ok, thanks! I did some more reading and it looks like I will be able to use it with FireAlpaca.
Cool, if that's your favourite thing!
Idk should I get this or the artist 15.6 pro
This is the same price on amazon, and from what I can tell is better .-.
Bonjour ce serait possible de savoir quel application de dessin il utilise ?
Il s'agit de Photoshop, mais vous pouvez également voir Sketchable dans beaucoup de mes vidéos. J'espère que ça aide. Passe une bonne journée.
thank fuck for left-handed digital artist reviews lmao . all the others i'd watched had been right-handed and it felt weird to watch them draw skfjslkjsd
Haha. No worries. Those people shouldn't be allowed to draw, let alone review ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW PREACH
Actually I take it back. With everything going on... I don't feel comfortable talking about banning people from anything... especially on social media 😱
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW wait what happened??
Just social media in general - don't worry. Hope you're drawing is going well!
Would you please compare this to their 22R? I'm struggling to understand the difference and have decision paralysis.
I really don't like comparison videos because we are all different and all need different things from tablets. Plus I could spend a livetime comparing everything to everything. I'm a full time artist and not a UA-camr. haha. Honestly they are both very similar. Go with the best pen! That is always the best route!
Thank you, this has very been helpful for me deciding what brand and tablet to get.
Happy to help! Let me know if you make a purchase ;)
I am a beginning artist and I am looking to buy my first digital art tablet. After a lot of research I have narrowed it down to this one or the Huion KAMVAS GT-221 pro HD. As an experienced artist which one would you honestly recommend?
@@MichaeltheRatMan hi I'm stuck on the same dilemma, what did you go with?
I'm going with the Huion GT, I'm just still working on earning the money right now :3
@@MichaeltheRatMan yeah these things may be cheaper than Wacoms but they aren't exactly cheap are they. I am leaning towards the GT as well. All the best.
Hey thanks for this review! I have a question: what do you think about this tablet's anti-glareness? Indeed on the XP-PEN website one can read: "The custom-designed anti-reflective coating reduces glare by 56 percent." So is their anti-reflective feature worth something? Do you think the tablet provides some kind of matte display? Or does it get ruined by its screen (as you mentionned for other devices in your Huion Kamvas GT-221 Pro Review)? I'm about to buy this tablet (maybe in 2 or 3 months) but I'm not sure what kind of screen -display I'm falling for?
Great question! The anti glare is actually very good. No complaints. The best I've seen is the new Wacom Pro 24" & 32" but this is a match for the Cintiq 27QHD I'd say. The texture is different of course but the anti glare is the same. I'm just glad it isn't gloss!!! It's a nice matte with the right amount of grit to it that works well for artists. What kind of work are you doing? What kind of apps?
Thanks for sharing your experience. Actually I've been learning and drawing for only a year. The reason why I started doing art is to make 2D animations. But to animate I have to learn how to draw first. So for a year now I've only been drawing. Definitely, what's great with using a tablet is that I would also be able to animate.
As for the drawing tools to use I don't know yet : I will surely start with Krita on Windows OS. If you have any advice, I'll be glad to hear : doesn't matter if it's animation or drawing related.
I get a lot of animators visit the channel. I love to talk animation. I've done a lot of art direction on animation on animation over the years. It's a skill I can really appreciate. Most animators I know go for a 24" tablet btw. 16" seems a bit small. Have a look at Clip Studio! It's aimed more at animators.
Lawrence Mann I agree: I'm not a pro but I do think a 16" screen is a bit small for animation. That's why I'm aiming for a much wider screen panel. And thanks for the advice; I'll also checkout some UA-cam videos about animation tools.

Hello Lawrence. What is your system GPU for comfort work on xp-pen 22e pro with illustrator CC? Thanks in advance
It's not about your GPU and the tablet. It's basically a monitor. It's about how hard you push that GPU with the type of work you are doing. What programs etc.
does the xp pen artist 22 work with tv paint
great job
I couldn't tell you. Honestly I have never heard of tv paint. But a drawing tablet is basically a fancy monitor so if it works on your computer then it will work with the tablet.
Thanks for putting up this one, you don't look as excited as when you reviewed the huion tablet though and i really wonder why. Also just letting you that you are one of the first reviewing this particular model. It just came out ~1 month ago
My apologies Rémy if I didn't seem as excited this time around. Maybe just a bit tired at the moment perhaps or simply trying to stay focused and on top of my thoughts more than anything of course. Personally I hate tech reviewers who wave their hands around too much and go over the top with the excitement. I know a lot of people like 'enthusiasm' that but it really grinds me because I can just see that it's 99% fake. lol.
I know this version is updated but I wasn't sure how new it was so I didn't want to say too much about that. Also adding that in will only date the video I thought. What do you think of the newer updates. Do you think they make a huge difference?
Also, what tablet are you currently using?
No worries Lawrence, i know it is hard to be true and happy all the time, i hear you. I was just wondering if it was as good as the huion because here in Australia the xp pen is almost half the price of the huion. I was wondering if the drawing on each of these brands felt very different or not (smoothness, parallax etc.)
For the xp pen update of this version, yeah they basically changed everything (pen, panel).
I also saw that huion is releasing a new updated version of the one you reviewed previously next month with a battery free pen and thinner display. They also will release there 1st 13inch tablet with titl support and a new gt 191 v2. It's hard to keep up with them. It seems like new models/versions are coming out every 6 months.
I think it's half the price everywhere! I understand AUS is potentially more expensive than a lot of places though. It looks like you have a lot of strange things like that considering you are thought of as part of the Western world. Your Amazon looks shockingly different!!
There is a difference in the tech but I certainly wouldn't say it's $400 (US) difference (they are $800 Huion & $400 XP-Pen). Really depends on your budget. I have no idea what the after care is like and I'd love to hear some stories from users!
HELP!!!
I just got my 22E pro, installed new drivers after completely updating my pc, but the tablet turns on and off repeatedly and the power light flickers red and green like a rave party. This even happens with hdmi and usb cables removed, only power cord attatched. I'm getting it replaced in a few days but does anyone have any advice? I desperately need this for work. Idk if it's a driver issue, faulty power cord, or if my wall outlets aren't strong enough.. Could it be fixed? I contacted customer service and they don't know. Just want answers before the next one goes down the same road...
DId you have a tablet before? Did you uninstall the drivers for that?
Was this an issue before you installed the drivers?
would you recommend any youtubers @Lawrence Mann that teach you how to draw better and i don't mean like super detailed art like you do cause that takes too much time i'm talking about anime style art like something that would help me draw it very quickly and improve how it looks
I don't know any that do a lot of detail. I started off doing a few videos when I started my channel but the views are not the same as you get on quicker videos or reviews - lol. So it feels like there is no point to putting in the work. It makes more sense to do more short videos which are quicker to do and obviously have less detail.
You might find some good paid tutorials. Something I never got into doing myself. I'm thinking of taking on a few students for one-on-one tuition which I think is better all around. What do you think of that idea and is it something you'd ever consider?
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW i would consider it only because i am super new to photoshop and digital art in general so i really wanna learn techniques that will make my life easier and let me draw more efficiently mostly for the fact that i want to be able to turn this into like a mini job so draw things for people on Fiverr but right now that dream seems pretty far away LOL
Great review and you draw great too Lawrence.
If you have contacts at XP-Pen there is would be great if you coulld ask/suggest they mmake a three dial variation of their AC19 controller , thankuyou
Thanks Shorey. Why the XP-Pen remote? Why not the Wacom remote or the Xencelabs remote? Just price? You know you can programme the dial to switch functions on any of these dials which means you can effectively have your three dials at the touch of a button.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I like teh low profile design of teh XP Pen AC19 you dont need hand over it you can just rest finger on iit and easily turn it a little or a lot. Plus its cheap.
Yes youre right the xence labs with color coding ring to indicate what yourve chosen is coola dn yes its only one step extra but id prefer three diasl already ready to go. Also the Xence labs dial device doenst seem to have text info for dial only the keys which seems to be missed opportinuity .
When i saw you drwaing yu sometimes rest other hand on table . If you could change brushtip or rotate cnvas or zoom with other hand via 3 dialsl it would be handy for you too :)
I don't think there is too much difference in terms of profile. At least not enough to make it a nightmare. Yes it is cheaper but I also think that shows in the construction and more so in the software. Yes there is not screen text for the Xencelabs dial but honestly if you can't remember three stages of your dial settings then you might get picked on by a goldfish! lol. If you're using it everyday then you won't have a problem. If you watch me draw on my regular tablet where I do use the Wacom remote, I still never use the dial. Never liked it myself. I've been using tablets since the early 90's so dials are still a new thing as far as I'm concerned. I use them for video editing. I right click to change my brush settings. Although, I do experiment with the way I work and occasionally change it up - I'm left handed but you might even spot me drawing with my right hand from time to time too.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW
Lol (re the goldfish comment).
Thasnkyou Lawrence for your suggestions and info and advice from a Graphic Artist & Wideo Maker perspective. Good to chat. Take care

Hi, great video im subscribing could i ask you something
would say its still good tablet for drawing in 2021?, im a animation student and im seriously considering buying one

@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thx for your answer
Any time! Spread the word @LAWRENCEcanDRAW
whats the difference between 22e pro and the xp pen artist 15.6 pro?
The size! Hotkeys too. There are a ton of differences but really I'd say check the specs side by side from the websites and see what's most important to you!
What’s the difference in performance compared to the xP pen 16 pro?
Couldn't tell you. Never used the 16 Pro! I don't like to make assumptions on devices I've not personally used. Personally though screen size does make a difference!
Hello Great video. I'm considering getting one of these tablets. Do the hot keys click when pressed and is the sound annoying? or are the silent? Thank you so much!
They are pretty silent. You do feel them so you don't have to look at them like you do on some of the really cheap tablets.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thank you so much for the response.
Happy to help - share a vid ;)
Does it support multi touch like trackpad, so i can rotate and zoom the canvas using fingers.
Nope. I'd of mentioned that for sure! Sorry pal.
Hello, How is the screen in terms of its colors? I ask because I have an ugee HK1650, and the problem I have is that the screen is bright, that makes the colors look brighter than they are ... and when I see the same drawings on another screen (for example when I upload them to instagram, deviant or face) the colors are more opaque ... the screen deceives me about colors. Does this cause the same problem?
If you spend time calibrating it then it's good, but straight out of the box it's not as good as more expensive brands. Obviously 90% of artists don't bother to calibrate their tablets or don't know how to. They also don't check their work on other monitors or don't buy better monitors to check with (obviously). I'm going to be doing a series on colour calibration soon with some luck!
It really would be great a video of how to calibrate ... I thought to calibrate using a monitor or the drawing as it looks in my cell phone.
Using another monitor might be worse unless you knew the monitor was perfect or really, really good. Same with the print. Even then you're just going back and forth with your eye and they'll be mismatch.
What art program is used through this?
That is Photoshop. If you look in the top left corner you can see the little blue 'PS' logo. That way you can recognise it on other videos too. Hope that helps. Remember to subscribe Grimm ;) See you soon!!
Is this fully laminated.?
Yes but it doesn't have exactly the same texture as the Wacom if that is what you might be expecting.
man, damn you are a hard worker! be careful with health pleas! greats review
Thanks SA - Not enough people notice that. haha #SpreadTheWord ;)
Hi, my desk is kinda far from any outlet. Could you help me out and tell me how long the cable is (actually does it even need to be plugged into a wall or just the computer?) Thanks for the help!
All the bigger tablets need an adaptor. You could either get an extension cord or use a smaller tablet that runs only on USB. I will be reviewing a 16" tablet very soon that is USB powered that might be perfect - If you are okay with the smaller size of course!
Lawrence Mann well I might just get an extension table because i will not be traveling much and i just want it on my desk. But, do you know how long the cable is? sorry for all the questions.
Couldn't tell you. I've packed it all away for now while I'm recording other videos. Sorry!
i am looking for a tablet . but because i want a new pc aswell i think im gonna buy smthing cheaper than wacom . maybe ... do u think it will be good for zbrush use ? thanks !!!!
Do you think the resolution of 1920x1080 will be okay with you? I don't see that being an issue but not being a massive 3D artist I don't know for sure if you consider the resolution of the monitor to be top priority? The new Huion has Tilt and while it is twice the price might be a better option perhaps!
yeah i think the 1920x1080 are fine for sculpting and enough for textures , also i should have a monitor 4k calibrated if i would like to look the colors so .. and i think there is no use of tilt at zbrush. correct me if i am mistaken . , i think im going to buy this ^_^ hope to find some better nibs for this product if they are crap . thanks for your video and your answer means a lot !
I am fairly new to Drawing tablets and I was wondering, if this connects to a pc can you still use your pc as a refrence screen or does it mirrior everything(sorry if it sounds stupid)
You simply go into your PC settings and decide if you want it as a separate screen or mirrored. It will work perfectly in Mac or Windows as long as you install the drivers. The same for any decent tablet. If it didn't I would certainly point that out! Thanks for watching and the question. Welcome to the community Kosho :D
I have the same wondering. (Sorry for bad English) do you think you could be more specific on how to make it not mirrior the pc. Like windows not mac
Go to 'Settings' - click on 'Systems' and click on the monitor. Scroll down and there is an option for 'Mirroring' or 'Extend your Desktop'. You want to choose 'Extend your Desktop'.
I know a lot of your tablets are 22in, but I wondered your thoughts on XP-PEN's Artist16 Pro for price vs. features.
It looks good. In fact, It was originally what I thought about reviewing from XP-Pen but then I noticed a lot of other reviews on it.
Reviewing the Artist16 Pro might be a good contrast to Parblo's Coast 16. That said, I thought two styluses with the 22E Pro was a nice touch when I saw it a while back.
We pledged for the Udoo Bolt recently so I can economically run a VR headset. Now it's a case of which XP-Pen tablet would be better value for painting/sculpting.
I did review the Huion Kamvas 16" ;D
which one do like better ? this xp or huion gt 221 pro ?
I'll be doing comparison videos soon! Stay tuned and I'll go over the details.
Can you use this tablet without having to hook it up to a computer?
Nope. Sorry Ausher - think of it as a really cool monitor!!
I'm looking to get into digital art and this was a tablet I was considering getting (I want to draw a comic). My art is not bad on paper, but I want something that is better for me to edit or fix mistakes (which I make a lot of on paper), plus due to an injury I only have full use of one eye and things like proportion can be difficult for me.
Would something like this be difficult for a novice to get used to? Would it benefit someone in my situation?
A lot of people in your position choose this and a copy of Clip Studio. Perfect combination for comic artists!! I could also sugest the New Wacom Cintiq 16 as well.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thank you for the infirmation! Wacom was another name I had been looking into, so I really appreciate the suggestion. I think i have some things to look into after work.
Happy to help! #SpreadTheWord!
How is it with the question of colors? I explain; I have a Ugee, and try to calibrate it and do everything so that the colors look as realistic as possible, but I have the problem that when I see it on several screens the color looks very opaque, but with the blues and yellows, until you see pastries (I saw them on many monitors and smarthphones and they all look just as opaque ... that means it's a tablet thing), instead the colors on the tablet look very bright and beautiful, it's really frustrating !! I want to know your opinion about the Xpen on how the colors look, since I want to buy a new tablet and I'm between lape xpen or huion?
Neither are perfect. I think both have made their newer tablets even better. I've found XP-Pen tend to be a little more high contrast and a bit brighter but the Huion have a nice colour range. If you want better colour correction then you'd simply have to spend more and go with a better screen option like a Wacom Cintiq or the Dell Canvas. Wacom did just release the Wacom Cintiq 16 which is a lot more affordable but obviously its only 16".

Awesome. Thanks lunae :D
can i use tilt or rotation control with this pen?
No tilt on this but XP-Pen have got it on some models if you check on the site and some tablets on my reviews. Wacom still are the only tablets with Rotate.
I like the tablet but honestly I have a lot of issues about the hotkeys sometimes it stay on the color picker instead of go back to the brush and after 2weeks of use the nibs was already deformed and I would love to know if it's only happens to me
Interesting to hear. Was the hotkey physically jamming or did it seem like a software fault? Have you tested the left handed flip issue? If not, can you test that for me and see if the issue is just me please. Thanks for commenting Morgane :D
it's the hot because when i use my kyboard it works perfectly and what's left handed flip is it the shortcut to flip the canvas ?
Yup, for us lefties!!!
Lawrence Mann yes it works but I don't use it that much so maybe if use it more it'll have the same issue I mentioned
what software do you use? ^^
Corel Painter, Photoshop, Sketchable... in the last 20+ yrs I have used everything!
Looks good . Very promising !
Glad you like it. Have you checked out my other Wacom alternative reviews? Let me know what you think!

What are you drawing on at the moment DeJaun?
Lawrence Mann lol I'm using a wacom bamboo splash.
Lawrence Mann By the way, this is an excellent review. Thanks for the insight. 😁
Thanks for your support DeJaun - That means a lot buddy! The Bamboo should certainly keep you creating great work until you can upgrade to something larger. A good artist can make good art on any tablet though and if you can make it work on a smaller standard tablet then when you move over to a large monitor tablet you should have a lot of fun. You might miss the rotate & tilt - but if you're waiting a while then XP-Pen might have them by then!
Lawrence Mann lol😁😁😁It has been fun for time has been working! I have made the most of it. Now it's dead or it works whenever it feels like. I'll get one someday I hope. Prefer the XP-Pen or Huion pen display lines. Thank you for your words of inspiration Lawrence. You should know I love your art and I put your tutorials to practice and it has been marvelous help in my art. Great respects to you.
Hi again. Did you happen to make an art scene video using the Yoga book ? I looked at your video library but can't find anything... Thanks
Actually I did!! I just didn't get around to editing it. There are around 30 videos in editing that need finishing. I'd love to turn UA-cam into a full-time job but unless I can get sponsors.. I just can't do it all myself yet. I'll move that one up the list now though ;)
Hi Lawrence. Thanks for the answer. I'll keep enjoying your videos and hints that you put in to make life easier .
Thanks René - I'll dig out the Lenovo video. I would like to review the updated YogaBook. I'll look into that!

Yeah! It's a pretty nice Ugee brand tablet ;D I thought you'd appreciate that response!
Lawrence Mann lol yes I do.
;D
Can this be good for making comics cause I’m trying to upgrade in quality and I’m thinking about this
This is actually a pretty great tablet for comic & line art when you pair it with the right apps. What applications are you using at the moment?
Lawrence Mann I’ve been publishing my comics through my phone so I’m going to upgrade to a drawing tablet, any app recommendations for making the comics
Clip Studio is probably the thing I'd recommend the most - or at least first!!
Is it laminated?
With the standard matte texture.
What kind of tablet do you use for drawing?
Day to day I use a Wacom 27QHD on my main machine and a Wacom MobileStudio Pro. I also use a Surface Book when I go away when I want a device that I'm gonna need to type on. I am just about to set up the Wacom 32" on my main computer though - stay subscribed for that unboxing! For me it's a 'bigger is better' when it comes to screen size! BUT this is my set-up and it's different for everyone. You probably have different needs to me so you'll need different tablet(s) depending on what you do.
Which photoshop do you use?
Latest version at the time of recording. I'm on the full CC plan.
What is full CC plan. Pls . I just bought 22 e pro for my son and don’t know about photoshop
Question am thinking of getting my first artist tablet and my budget is at 500 $ and I was thinking of getting this one cuz of the big screen and shortcut keys do u recommend this one or is there a better one with big screen around 500$
$500 really doesn't give you much to play with if you want a screen - let alone a big one. There aren't many options at all. As you can see here I can do some pretty decent stuff. It can't compete with the Cintiq but for the price comparison I think it holds up well!
Lawrence Mann thx for reply cheers
No worries. Take a look at some other reviews. See what you think. I've got the Dragon video coming out as a tutorial in the next few days so you can take a more in depth look at that. You can already see the other draw test from this now on my channel as a longer video too if that helps you make up your mind! Welcome to the community Ruby! If you can up your budget a but then you might be able to get something but it's actually quite a big step up in price to get a tablet that shows major improvements - something to consider! Your other option is the Wacom Intuos Pro which is 16" without a screen but does have way more advanced pen tech. A lot of top level pro's use it so don't think you need a screen to do the best work! I have one.
Lawrence Mann quick question when you first connected it how was screen quality clear/crisp or fuzzy/ blurry cuz my is fuzzy not in HD and i have changed the Resolution but still nothing
As crisp as a 1080p display can be, yeah!
What art program did you use?
Think that was just Photoshop. Or I might of used Sketchable!
did you Buy yours from Amazon?
XP-Pen sent me this out direct to review! I am going to do some comparison videos as well as maybe some tutorial videos with it and then it might be a giveaway. We'll see what happens!
I got a question can I use this as main monitor?
Sure. Think of it (or any tablet) as just a fancy monitor!
