New meaning to "talk to the hand". One thing I'd think would be helpful for an artist is arm and hand exercises. ua-cam.com/video/DEf5AGef4yI/v-deo.html
As someone who has been drawing digitally for 6 years: you DON'T need to spend hundreds on a tablet. If you are a beginner (or even if you aren't), you can draw with a cheap 40$ huion or xp-pen non-screen tablet. I always see people encouraging beginners to get an iPad. An iPad, man. That's not cheap for sure. I've been working with my very basic wacom intuos small for 5 years and I would only switch to a display tablet if I had lots of spare money. If you wanna draw on the go, okay, an iPad or stylus tablet might be more comfortable. But if you're looking for a tablet to connect to the computer and draw at home, like most people: you don't need a screen display if you're on a tight budget. Drawing on a non-display tablet is NOT hard. You get used to it very quickly. Once you feel comfortable or have a bigger budget, you can switch to a display tablet. I am just so sad for those hundreds of beginners whose first tablet is an expensive screen display and months later they decide digital/art is not for them. Edit: Okay yes if you dont have a pc of course its a lot cheaper to get a regular tablet/iPad. But I was giving advice to those who have PCs, to get a non screen tablet first Edit 2: someone mentioned a mouse and I remembered lol I also started with a mouse before my first tablet!
SiraGem Art the iPad is good for many people though because people use them for lots more than just art, also, lots of people may not have a computer, and a £300 iPad is cheaper than a decent computer + drawing tablet
I bought a non-display tablet and tried with it for 1 month+ . This is just me but I hated every part of it and could not work at all no matter how hard I tried. I saved up money and bought a huion kamvas and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’m making money (as a side job, but do I hecking love doing art) within my community comfortably. You are very much correct tho, many people do not need to spend a ton of money on screen tablets and will work beautifully on a non-display tablet.
Hey Ergojosh! Could you put subtitles please? It would help me a lot because I am deaf 🙏🏻 I enjoy and learn a lot by watching your videos, thank you so much!
@@i_Made_That That wasn't rude!) Well, I wear headphones that help me hear better, so I am not completely deaf. (But I have a very severe hipoacusia, like more that 90% of hearing lost) I can listen to people and understand when it is in a real life (also I can read lips on Spanish and Russian, but on English not yet) However, when I watch videos without subtitles I find it very difficult to hear what they are talking about. So, I am very pleased when it has subtitles because it makes my life a LOT easier :) . I hope that you understood. Sorry if I have mistakes on English (I am not native)
I have an iPad 6th gen and it works just perfect, no lag, and with a paperlike screen protector it's like a iPad pro, the only limit it's on the layes but since i usually draw on paper i only use 2 layer for my drawigs.
@@spaghetie the only reviews I see are people saying : 1. The 7th gen doesn't have pro-motion 2. Oh no, that crappy non laminated display 3. Did they really keep the same processor 4. There's no difference between this and the 6th gen 5. It's 2019 and they couldn't even put true tone? All they do is complain. Only heard the giy from " Affordable Tech " say anything logical and positive about it.
@@messicomps344 those are drawbacks I hear about it (not usually big complaints though bc it's cheap as hell lol). all of those are in the more expensive versions for a reason, but if you don't need them, it's completely fine.
Recommendations @4:25! I also forgot to mention something in regard to tablet sizes. The biggest factor of picking a size comes down to your desk space, and how big your hands are. So for example, if you have big hands like me, anything less than the 12.9" Ipad pro will be a pain (but you can get use to it, especially if you haven't used the bigger size before) IF you have little desk space, then of course a small stationary tablet will be what you should get as well. HOWEVER, generally, for most artists, the bigger, the better. Its a common known fact that the more you get used to drawing from your elbow and shoulder in combination with your wrist for small details, the better your drawings will be. The bigger the tablet, the more freedom you have with this. This also means that you don't have to zoom in as much, which often times, kills a drawing, at least for me.
Hey man I'm new to your channel and like your style of videos. I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro instead of the 12.9" I don't know if I have big or small hands, but the price difference is a big deal and digital art lets you zoom in and out so bigger screen is kinda luxury imo
for me it's funny how every youtuber talking that ipad mini is just for scatches and small stuff like that. Believe or not, that's not true. It's the size of an A5 paper. I work with it every day, doing graphic design, paintings, music, photo editing and video editing. Without a single problem. So, rather buy iPad mini 5, than an entry level iPad. It's so much faster, stronger and better. For almost the same amount of money.
Definitely! I should have mentioned it, but for me Its just an absolute non option due to the size. It may be the same size as an A5 sheet of paper, but digital tablets don’t come close to the detail that you get out of drawing in real life.
e r g o j o s h that’s a sure thing. I’m drawing, painting and doing graphic design since teachers taught me all of this in high school, so it’s been over 9 years. Nothing is gonna come close to a using oil on canvas in real life. ✌️
@@alanaclose8301 That's not true. Apple Pencil first generation, is for all iPads made from 2019 (I guess). So iPad Mini 5 (latest iPad mini), iPad 10.2' which is the cheapest possibility to use an apple pencil. Also iPad Air 3 (2019) have the compatibility to use the pencil. Only for iPad Pro (those without TouchID) are the second generation of pencils.
For those on a budget, the older iPad Pro models are still extremely capable art tools. I have the original 12.9” Pro and just have had no excuse to upgrade because it can handle anything I want it to with Clip Studio and have gotten quite good results (google my name with art after it and google images will show some examples, done with that old iPad Pro if you’d like to see for confirmation). I do have a matte screen protector on it as I feel like it is a better drawing experience and closer to paper. But the price between those older generation Pros and the new ones is big - you can save a lot and like Josh said, if you don’t end up using it for art then you still have an iPad. Now I use a dedicated drawing monitor for a lot of work but it’s still great to take the iPad anywhere to draw or just chill on the couch (I’ll often do my line art on iPad and then move to pc if I need paint emulation). I would stay away from Gaomon based on my experience and older Huions. The newest Huions are quite good (laminated screen, etched glass for a more paper like texture) though.
from my position- I've been drawing since I was 15 (i'm currently 17), and I've been drawing on an ipad mini 2 w/ a capacitive pen. I still was able to draw pretty well. now I've moved on a pc-tablet hybrid (or 2-in-1, like josh explained). the option of upgrading once you're able to is there.
mich mich I hear you on that. It’s really noticeable with phones I think, however I’ve found iPads to last much longer and in the past few years with ram amounts getting higher longevity will be good. My daughter is using my old iPad Air and it’s like 7 years old now and can still run Procreate just fine. For her uses at least, I wouldn’t want to use it with those limitations but she’s 8 - but the point there is that an 7 year old phone would not be anywhere near as usable. And my first gen iPad Pro is still doing impressively well. Sure the way the new pencil charges is nice, and I’m sure the screen looks nicer as well as the updated design, and it will certainly not last as long as if I bought a new one. For art though I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon unless programs like Corel Painter start coming to iPad (which is very resource heavy but I don’t think they will ever move a full featured app to iPad). It does come down to cost vs. perceived value though so I don’t think I can tell anyone what they should do, just that you can get an older (maybe not even first gen, but one a little newer) iPad Pro for a significant savings over the latest and greatest and most likely not be needing an upgrade for a long time. I wouldnt be surprised if I need a new laptop before a new iPad and I got them both the same year.
Being doing digital art for years. I can draw from semi-realistic, to tattoo art, to anime style, i'm currently a webcomic artist. I think if you can _easily_ affort a display tablet, even as a beginner artist, go for it. But if you can't, buy a friking normal tablet. If you are patient and passionate enough, you'll get used to it. Just remember, no tablet is going to make your art magically better.
I actually found your comment really helpful and since I want to start working on my webcomic as well I wanted to ask you for display tablet recommendations good for webcomic artists. I still have a pad tablet after many years of work but I can't get the colouring quality I would with a display one. Bur there is such a big range and I don't know where to start
Its definitely not something you can just get used to. I cant deal with not being able to see my hands. I dont have good spatial awareness so it was practically impossible for me to even draw on one.
As owner of display, non-display and IPAD pro, I would like to share my opinion. I met lots of people with mindset that non-display tablets are not as good as display ones because it is not the same feeling as traditional media. But just imagine non-display tablets as future which eliminated cons that tradition media has. When you use it you can finally sit with your back and neck straight, not covering your artwork with your hand and make smaller arm/wrist movements to achieve bigger strokes. Which results in seeing artwork clearly, speeding up your process and giving more comfort and health. One week of getting used to this new technlogy sounds good to me. :) P.S. I work at least 3x faster on non-display tablet.
As a beginner looking to start digital art, what size tablet would you recommend? Intuitively the larger sizes seem like they'd make it easier to control strokes, but the price jump between smaller and larger sizes seems really stark to me.
I use Wacom Intuos Pro M size for 27inch 2k monitor. I used to use L size of same model and I have a feeling that I had a liiitle bit more precise lines. But M size takes less space on desk, can be put into backpack and allows me to make smaller strokes to achieve the same result => helps my arm/hand move across the screen faster and is more healthy in the long run. If I were a novice and had enough money I would go for Wacom M. If I didn’t have, I would seek for alternative in HUION store I guess. I don’t think there will be a big difference. P.S. sorry for late answer
i really want to make a comic requiring digital art and want to get more experienced in digital art .. i already have an ipad pro with an apple pencil and procreate, but was wondering if you thought that a non display tablet would be better and maybe some brands . i have a macbook air btw and tysm sorry this is kind of a lot to ask
@@gscgrey hi, IPAD is more like sketchbook. It is great for having fun and relax but very difficult to make money with. I mean you can make commissions there but be prepared to be several times slower in that. I think the best option is to have powerful PC and 2 monitors. I would recommend to have main monitor at least 2k 27inch with good colors (that is what I use), the second one can be worse and used for references, browser, music, discord and w/e else you need for work. But having notebook and non display tablet M size (Wacom Intuos Pro will never dissapoint) is pretty solid way too. You will still be able to carry it in your backpack and paint in cafes. Just make sure to have big good additional monitor on your desk so you can be as productive as possible when working from home. Trust me, you will love it (my gf has this setup and she is angry that she didn’t buy additional monitor earlier).
Im planning on getting the ipad pro 11 inch. You've helped me a lot, when it comes to art and techniqe(sorry for bad english) im 14 and i would love to become an illustraiter or digital artist when i grow up. All the time i draw traditional art everybody "praises" me or something. But i wanna try something new so im gonna try digital art, ive been wanting to try it for years and now when my birthday comes up im gonna get an ipad, i hope i get as good as you when i grow up! Thx for helping me a lot! Youre great❤
Great advice. I personally took your advice to get the iPad pro back when I first started watching you and I did illustrate my own book and many other projects. I am very happy that I listened to your advice. Thanks so much for the time and effort you are putting into all this information for all of us
I recently got the 2nd gen iPad Pro from 2017. $300 on eBay and I'm VERY satisfied with it. It's at least as good as a 2019 iPad Air. Apple releases "new builds" of the iPad every year, but the specs aren't exactly jumping ahead by leaps and bounds. Calling it new is just a sales tactic to make people think that they need to spend a bunch of money on a new tablet(And it works. Especially with the phones).
iPad Pro 2nd Gen 2017 still has ProMotion (120hz, less latency) so it's objectively better than Air 2019 for drawing, both use Apple Pen 1. iPad Pro;'s from 2018 onwards uses Apple Pen 2 already, it's better, just works at all times with no hassle, the tilt/rotation.
my hands are so very small so i decided on an 11 inch ipad pro even though literally everyone says you Have to get a 12.9. im getting it in 3 days! i am very serious with art so the 1.2k price point was good enough for me especially since im using it for school and such as well. the price really racked up to 1.5k because of insurance/applecare/accessories which im planning on buying even more of/and even then i had chosen the cheapest options. the decision really depends on budget/hobbyist or wanting to sell art/hand size/ and what youre planning on doing with it. i could never use a non display tablet or one strictly for drawing because i wouldnt be able to justify the price.
update! ive had it for about a month now. it is Amazing. its the perfect size and i can use it for basically anything. im very happy with the purchase :) (btw procreate is really worth it but if you need a free app autodesk sketchbook is one of the best free drawing apps ive ever used and goodnotes 5 is really good for if youre using your ipad for school/work.)
I just ordered an ipad Pro for the exact reason you mentioned, I am a pretty good artist when it comes to drawing and the idea of being able to draw on a tablet is awesome. While drawing on paper will always be my favorite thing, the convenience of drawing digitally with all the colors, brushes, etc. I can imagine is an awesome thing that I really want to give a shot. But if I end up not liking it too much, hey its okay, cause I still have an ipad pro that I can use for my career as an architect and just for consuming media and playing games. Thanks for this video!
Yeah i feel like a lot of people just hate apple because well its apple but he has a point in how if you decide drawing digital isnt for you then you still have a nice tablet
Thanks Ergo. You really helped me make a big purchase for my daughter. She is an above average artist and I could not find something that fits the power she needs and my budget. I ended up going with the 7th gen iPad with the pencil. Compared to what she has now this is will be amazing. Thank you again for posting this.
For those of you considering an iPad, I urge you to at least consider getting an android just for Krita. Its the full desktop version right on your tablet, and while its UI could use a little optimization, there just isn't anything as feature rich on iOS. Plus the galaxy tab series has wacom technology in the S pen. Both ipad and galaxy tab are very good choices, but please look into both so you pick the right device for you.
I have a decent desktop PC (Ryzen eight-core CPU, 32GB RAM) and I ultimately chose the Wacom One as my first display tablet. I'm not a fan of Apple's walled garden and after an iPhone SE, I didn't want to step into it any further, so an iPad was out of the question for me. I'm really happy with the Wacom One so far, but I also still consider myself as a beginner : )
Quick tip for those who want to work in a professional field: EMPLOYERS WILL NOT HIRE THOSE WITH AN IPAD, OR ANYONE THAT DOESNT HAVE A SCREEN-ONLY FOR-DESKTOP TABLET. there are little widely used pro apps on the iPad, so it would be hard for the employer to work with you
You can get by doing professional FREELANCE work with an ipad + procreate. But yeah if you want to work in a professional field, employers/studios will require knowledge of using Pen-Display tablets (like the Cintiq) and industry software such as Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint. You can get by without knowing how to use a pen-display tablet, but you'll need the software skills to get hired. Procreate most likely won't cut it in a professional studio.
What field of art would you work in (other than freelance) where iPad is an accredited and accepted drawing platform?? Not dossing the iPad, it's great, but from an employers perspective it aint it chief
Don't make it a generality , Photoshop is indeed as for no the most commonly used app in the industry but some studio are starting to shift and use procreate too, I don't know in what field you are specificlly speaking about but in the Video-games , animation industry that's the case. Photoshop is the traditional way but if you bring the good art it doesn't really matter what software you use since lots of artist who work at a company (in the field i talked about) bring their stuff usualy
@@cloudpie3134 lol damn I think thats cheep like someone bought my nephew a $700 tablet for my nephew and I thought that was cheep I thought they went to $1,200
This is the most thorough and straight forward video I've found on this, and on top of that I love your voice and chill tone. Instant subscribe! Thank you so much!!!
@hyuritea underage so can't work, pocket money given to me by parents too small, times are hard especially since I have younger siblings going to school so my parents can't buy me one... So it's not about buying a cheap one, it's just about not having the money to buy one at all
@@anastasial7687 that's exactly what I use ( and I also draw with my fingers) but my phone is really annoying so drawing can be quite stressful P.s : my art isn't worth selling yet 😢.. (Words of an Amateur artist)
honore k most probably an ipad pro. For me a good quality and mobil tablet I can cary around would be easier to use. And, the 12 inch wide screen is big and comfortable enough to draw on.
Tomatoe Fruit yeh that is good if you have money to spend I have an iPad and I just use free app and a cheap stylus I even made an animation on my channel
you just saved me 1400 dollars, you reminded me that I have a wacom one laying around, its so easy to get caught up in the what seems to be fast fashion for technology these days. my wacom one paired up to my 32 inch viewsonic screen is so much better than an 11 inch ipad.
im currently saving up to buy a 7th gen iPad and an Apple pencil, I'm just starting out as an artist and I'm not very good, but i plan to start taking classes and i want to make it into a career because its something i love to do! Videos like this one have really helped me in the decision process so thank you!
I want to invest in making digital art and this is the most comprehensive video I've found online. Thorough, sensible and honest. Might even be a reflection of the type of person he is in real life
This review was fantastic! I love how you kept it within a specific range of products that you can trust, but you also didn’t narrow it down too much where there were only a few recommended options. I’m looking for a tablet that I can use for multiple uses, like art and college work. I was thinking of an iPad Pro, but wanted to see a professional opinion on the matter so I researched a bit and then remembered seeing your video in my feed. I haven’t been a subscriber for a while but I’m glad I am because most of your videos have proved to be really helpful for me and I wanted to say thank you so much!
I have a iPad 7th gen and I got it last year for Christmas. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it and have been making art for almost a year now. I use the free app ibisPaint X and it’s the best. Just putting this out there for fellow beginners
As a traditional artist currently saving up some money, and also someone who has no idea where n how to start w digital art, THANK YOU this was very helpful!!!!!♡♡♡
Another fact but just as important is choosing between a screen tablet (ie cintiq) and a drawing tablet (ie intuos). ask yourself how long you'll be drawing at a time: few mins? long hours? I opted for the intuos pro instead of the cintiq simply because I know my back wouldn't hurt as much if I draw for long periods of time. it's also just personal preference
I've been using the tiny old Wacom Bamboo since I was 14, then I upgraded to the Huion Kamvas, which is lovely and amazing, but I can't help but wonder if I should have gotten an iPad instead, mostly because of Procreate and portability. But having to pay not only for the tablet, but also for the pencil... damn, that's a lot of money to invest just to be able to use one drawing app.
I have an iPad Air 3 and i'm enjoying the experience. It gets the job done and I can draw wherever I go whether it's from home, work, a cafe etc. I use it primarily for artwork using procreate.
Guys i wanna say that you should use a desktop cause you can get more power with less monney comparing with a laptop . Withe a graphic tablet something like xp pen or huion they are affordable and good quality .
You just convinced me to pick an iPad with a pencil. Thank you. I've been struggling something that really fits my needs for days and this video really tipped the edge.
Excellent informative/educational video about tablets for artist. This video is amazing with very good recommendations and very informative, congrats dude.
some people will still use it for other things tho. and wacom is only used for drawing platforms WITH a laptop which costs usually more than an ipad. that's where the usability comes in
Another option, albeit used, would be the 2017 iPad Pro. The display is better than the new air, and would end up to be around the same price with a larger storage option as the air in the end. The performance is very slightly worse than the air, but in my opinion not enough to matter
Its the first video that i’ve see from you dude, but you already have one more subscriber. The way you talk, I don’t know how to explain, you’re just so calm, and explain it clearly, thank you so much, i have an idea of what im gonna do now. Im an artist, but im still in training, im not profissional, and I want to try different things.
Actually, it’s more personal preference. I’m saving up for an ipad since I’m more used to it then a samsung. The ipad pro is for pro’s is also not true since I see a lot of people use it while they are still in school. Also, some apps aren’t available on samsung! Example: procreate is a IOS exclusive as far as I know.
I'd recommend XP Pen Deco V2 (V2 can be pluged into a phone)... and for a program, Clip Studio Paint is amazing. I bought those two last year for a black friday sale, and paid only about 70 euros.
I think it's sad that like 80% of the artists I like switched to procreate and iPad .. you cannot use procreate brushes anywhere else and I feel like people forget about the PC users now :( Having the same art program as your favourite artist makes it easier to follow along/understand speedpaints or tutorials and also BRUSHES ;;
Yeah I also don't understand that xd like computer is so much more superior. Something like the HP Zbook x2 G4 would be amazing tho, similar devices like that
Yeah I’ve been noticing that trend a bit online as well. Don’t get me wrong because I think Procreate is a great art program app, but man I can’t imagine switching from Clip Studio Paint on my computer w/ my Intuos to Procreate on iPad. I’ve messed with many art programs on my computer for a few years and in the end I personally think Clip Studio Paint is absolutely amazing (their brush engine and stabilization is perfect for me) and nothing can compare. Also I’m pretty sure multitasking on the computer is easier than on an iPad (sometimes I put my references on a separate window from CSP and/or I watch a livestream or video while drawing). I think I only know two people I casually follow who use CSP, but I’m honestly okay with that because thankfully the asset community on the Clip Studio website is really active if I ever need to look for a brush.
This is the exact video I was looking for! I haven't really been drawing a lot, but I want to pick it up as a hobby. I wasn't really sure what types of tablet types that existed. Got a 32GB ram & Ryzen 9 5900x Processor, which is pretty good. Being able to see what I am drawing is the main feature I wanted, now I know what I want, thanks!
The hell i was actually looking around the web for best tablets for beginners today and i was about to head out to buy one quickly. Ding ding your video : let me help ya out.
Hey um, just a suggestion... If you'll buy a tablet for digital art, you should probably just opt for the older iPad Pros, even the Gen 1 works fine. Since they are older models, they are cheaper, and they offer a bigger screen size, with more RAM. Currently, the iPad Air has 3gb ram, but the older iPad pros offer 4gb RAM, as well as 6GB. A certain youtuber did a video on this, i think it was BeeJayDel, and he actually recommends the First Gen iPad Pro, and he also uses it for his work. *third gen ipad pros are now @ ≈$500, and @ ≈$450 for student discounts Just a suggestion tho Too bad i cant afford an apple product :(((
@Shin Khant Aung Myint oh okay...right, i forgot about the processors, im sorry.... Im actually planning to purchase and iPad for my digita art too, and this kinda helps, although im torn between the air and the third gen pro....
I’m just watching this for fun (boredom quarantine) bc I already have my ipad pro 11 2018 that i just got this january and as a beginner, i think it’s worth it lol
I always laugh when the iPad pro is marketed as a "laptop replacement", don't get me wrong I love my iPad pro but nothing beats a real operating system. Also as Josh has pointed out, 3D artists have no choice in this matter, 3D apps on iOS suck donkey balls. I'm a 2D and 3D artist, the iPad Pro can mostly replace a 2D workflow but will never be a good device for 3D work, let along rendering.
@@Kenosha01 My setup is pretty old, a quad core AMD processor with hyperthreading, 32 GB of DDR3 Ram and and recently upgraded RTX 2070. Hardware for 3D applications is not a "1 size fits all" situation at least according to this article www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/buying-guides/build-buy-3d-design-workstation/ TL;DR, you want a lot of ram a high clock speed CPU with a lot of cores and a GPU with CUDA cores. Also big harddrives, 3D files get huge fast. To be frank a desktop setup will be much cheaper than a beefed out Mobile workstation or laptop (there is a difference)
It might be good for 3D if apps like Forger keep on getting updated as fast as they are. Maybe Blender could even come over. But it does everything else pretty much at the top level. Editing photos and video, 2D art, an animation app that is getting updated greatly and really good in Callipeg, etc in a small form factor.
I’ve used a wacom 13 HD for about 5 years and it served me really well, but recently it’s started to show it’s age, after 5 years of nearly constantly moving and nonstop use it’s finally on its last legs and looking for a new tablet has been really hard, I find it’s important to weight cost per time used ie, if this is the tablet I’m using for the next X years how much does that work out to per year, I think even if you’re starting out that’s a good way to gauge what makes sense for you, if you’re making money in your art it helps to factor in that to your decision. Sometimes it’s worth getting something more expensive if you KNOW you’re going to be using it for longer than you’d use a cheaper option. Look at reviews to spot build quality and how long it’s lasted people and be honest with how much you’ll be using it over the next few years. I like Wacom because I’ve been using their tablets since I started and I know their quality is good and they’ve lasted for about as long as I’ve needed them. That being said they are more expensive compared to some of the newer brands that I’ve seen in the past few years so look at user reviews to see how they last long term
so I guess it all boils to your "work-lifestyle" if you work most of the time indoors, a desktop tablet is better (either go for a non display(cheaper) or a display ready (expensive) but if your work is on the go / you prefer working outside, go get a ipad (either a mini/air (cheaper) or a pro (expensive) got it. LOLZ

I bought last year's iPad Pro the gen 7 and the colors are driving me up a wall. Everything is tinted orange. I turned off all the night sensitive stuff and messed around with all the settings but it was still orange compared to how the art looked on all my other screens. I contacted apple support and they said to go to a technician and the technician said that the ipad screens are garbage, especially the 7th gen and that I should get a Surface Pro instead. Has anyone else had an experience like this with ipads?
I know this is 6 months old, but I do recommend the Surface Pro. I've never had an iPad, but I currently own the Surface Pro 7 and it works really well with Autodesk Sketchbook. This is a PC, though, so you can't get mobile apps. Another thing to note is that Autodesk Sketchbook has no clipping masks and really limited layer masks all around, and doesn't have screen toning. As a person trying to get into comic art, that kind of sucks for me. I've been looking around at CSP and Samsung tablets too, but I'm a little more unsure about iPads after reading this. Did you end up getting the Surface Pro?
If I'm going to have a mobile tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab s6 lite will be my go-to. It's still just as good as it's more expensive counterparts, yet the price is good enough.

As someone who has been drawing digitally for 6 years: you DON'T need to spend hundreds on a tablet. If you are a beginner (or even if you aren't), you can draw with a cheap 40$ huion or xp-pen non-screen tablet. I always see people encouraging beginners to get an iPad. An iPad, man. That's not cheap for sure. I've been working with my very basic wacom intuos small for 5 years and I would only switch to a display tablet if I had lots of spare money. If you wanna draw on the go, okay, an iPad or stylus tablet might be more comfortable. But if you're looking for a tablet to connect to the computer and draw at home, like most people: you don't need a screen display if you're on a tight budget. Drawing on a non-display tablet is NOT hard. You get used to it very quickly. Once you feel comfortable or have a bigger budget, you can switch to a display tablet.
I am just so sad for those hundreds of beginners whose first tablet is an expensive screen display and months later they decide digital/art is not for them.
Edit: Okay yes if you dont have a pc of course its a lot cheaper to get a regular tablet/iPad. But I was giving advice to those who have PCs, to get a non screen tablet first
Edit 2: someone mentioned a mouse and I remembered lol I also started with a mouse before my first tablet!
SiraGem Art the iPad is good for many people though because people use them for lots more than just art, also, lots of people may not have a computer, and a £300 iPad is cheaper than a decent computer + drawing tablet
I bought a non-display tablet and tried with it for 1 month+ . This is just me but I hated every part of it and could not work at all no matter how hard I tried. I saved up money and bought a huion kamvas and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’m making money (as a side job, but do I hecking love doing art) within my community comfortably. You are very much correct tho, many people do not need to spend a ton of money on screen tablets and will work beautifully on a non-display tablet.
I have had my cheap tablet for 3 years now and I am finally upgrading to an IPad Pro. My tablet litterally broke because I spilled milk on it.

Hey Ergojosh! Could you put subtitles please? It would help me a lot because I am deaf 🙏🏻 I enjoy and learn a lot by watching your videos, thank you so much!
Liza Arts you can turn captions on, not sure if it wasn’t working before for you, but it works for me
I'm on a tablet and the captions work for me!
@@kameirah yes, it does now. Thank you)
I’m not trying to be rude but if you’re deaf how are you learning when there is no subtitles?
@@i_Made_That That wasn't rude!) Well, I wear headphones that help me hear better, so I am not completely deaf. (But I have a very severe hipoacusia, like more that 90% of hearing lost) I can listen to people and understand when it is in a real life (also I can read lips on Spanish and Russian, but on English not yet) However, when I watch videos without subtitles I find it very difficult to hear what they are talking about. So, I am very pleased when it has subtitles because it makes my life a LOT easier :) . I hope that you understood. Sorry if I have mistakes on English (I am not native)
Someone actually recommending an iPad 7th gen while a majority of people are just out there shaming it instead. Thank you Josh 🤧🥺
who's shaming it? i haven't seen anyone do that. most reviewers and tech UA-camrs are saying that it's more than worth its price.
I have an iPad 6th gen and it works just perfect, no lag, and with a paperlike screen protector it's like a iPad pro, the only limit it's on the layes but since i usually draw on paper i only use 2 layer for my drawigs.
@@spaghetie the only reviews I see are people saying :
1. The 7th gen doesn't have pro-motion
2. Oh no, that crappy non laminated display
3. Did they really keep the same processor
4. There's no difference between this and the 6th gen
5. It's 2019 and they couldn't even put true tone?
All they do is complain. Only heard the giy from " Affordable Tech " say anything logical and positive about it.
@@messicomps344 those are drawbacks I hear about it (not usually big complaints though bc it's cheap as hell lol). all of those are in the more expensive versions for a reason, but if you don't need them, it's completely fine.

I also forgot to mention something in regard to tablet sizes. The biggest factor of picking a size comes down to your desk space, and how big your hands are. So for example, if you have big hands like me, anything less than the 12.9" Ipad pro will be a pain (but you can get use to it, especially if you haven't used the bigger size before) IF you have little desk space, then of course a small stationary tablet will be what you should get as well. HOWEVER, generally, for most artists, the bigger, the better. Its a common known fact that the more you get used to drawing from your elbow and shoulder in combination with your wrist for small details, the better your drawings will be. The bigger the tablet, the more freedom you have with this. This also means that you don't have to zoom in as much, which often times, kills a drawing, at least for me.
Hey man I'm new to your channel and like your style of videos. I bought the 11 inch iPad Pro instead of the 12.9" I don't know if I have big or small hands, but the price difference is a big deal and digital art lets you zoom in and out so bigger screen is kinda luxury imo
Adobe is supposedly working on a 'full' illustrator for Ipad
@e r g o j o s h should I be able to run a new cintiq on my MacBook Pro?
how could I ever skip to 4:25 when your voice is so rich and smooth Sir
Maybe a follow-up on ways to mount a tablet? Even if one has the desk space, one may want to put it up out of the way, while still accessible.
for me it's funny how every youtuber talking that ipad mini is just for scatches and small stuff like that. Believe or not, that's not true. It's the size of an A5 paper. I work with it every day, doing graphic design, paintings, music, photo editing and video editing. Without a single problem. So, rather buy iPad mini 5, than an entry level iPad. It's so much faster, stronger and better. For almost the same amount of money.
Definitely! I should have mentioned it, but for me Its just an absolute non option due to the size. It may be the same size as an A5 sheet of paper, but digital tablets don’t come close to the detail that you get out of drawing in real life.
e r g o j o s h that’s a sure thing. I’m drawing, painting and doing graphic design since teachers taught me all of this in high school, so it’s been over 9 years. Nothing is gonna come close to a using oil on canvas in real life. ✌️
@@ergojosh: Pixel art. :-)
What app and stylus do you use with iPad mini? I have an older iPad mini (not sure which gen) but the apple pen says it's only works with iPad pro?
@@alanaclose8301 That's not true. Apple Pencil first generation, is for all iPads made from 2019 (I guess). So iPad Mini 5 (latest iPad mini), iPad 10.2' which is the cheapest possibility to use an apple pencil. Also iPad Air 3 (2019) have the compatibility to use the pencil. Only for iPad Pro (those without TouchID) are the second generation of pencils.
For those on a budget, the older iPad Pro models are still extremely capable art tools. I have the original 12.9” Pro and just have had no excuse to upgrade because it can handle anything I want it to with Clip Studio and have gotten quite good results (google my name with art after it and google images will show some examples, done with that old iPad Pro if you’d like to see for confirmation). I do have a matte screen protector on it as I feel like it is a better drawing experience and closer to paper. But the price between those older generation Pros and the new ones is big - you can save a lot and like Josh said, if you don’t end up using it for art then you still have an iPad. Now I use a dedicated drawing monitor for a lot of work but it’s still great to take the iPad anywhere to draw or just chill on the couch (I’ll often do my line art on iPad and then move to pc if I need paint emulation). I would stay away from Gaomon based on my experience and older Huions. The newest Huions are quite good (laminated screen, etched glass for a more paper like texture) though.
from my position- I've been drawing since I was 15 (i'm currently 17), and I've been drawing on an ipad mini 2 w/ a capacitive pen. I still was able to draw pretty well. now I've moved on a pc-tablet hybrid (or 2-in-1, like josh explained). the option of upgrading once you're able to is there.
I'm thanking of getting the iPad air 2019 would that be good or should get something different and would the iPad air work with the 2nd pen
mich mich I hear you on that. It’s really noticeable with phones I think, however I’ve found iPads to last much longer and in the past few years with ram amounts getting higher longevity will be good. My daughter is using my old iPad Air and it’s like 7 years old now and can still run Procreate just fine. For her uses at least, I wouldn’t want to use it with those limitations but she’s 8 - but the point there is that an 7 year old phone would not be anywhere near as usable. And my first gen iPad Pro is still doing impressively well. Sure the way the new pencil charges is nice, and I’m sure the screen looks nicer as well as the updated design, and it will certainly not last as long as if I bought a new one. For art though I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon unless programs like Corel Painter start coming to iPad (which is very resource heavy but I don’t think they will ever move a full featured app to iPad). It does come down to cost vs. perceived value though so I don’t think I can tell anyone what they should do, just that you can get an older (maybe not even first gen, but one a little newer) iPad Pro for a significant savings over the latest and greatest and most likely not be needing an upgrade for a long time. I wouldnt be surprised if I need a new laptop before a new iPad and I got them both the same year.
Is hioun 950 and 640 good
Do you think I would also work for starting a webtoon?
Being doing digital art for years. I can draw from semi-realistic, to tattoo art, to anime style, i'm currently a webcomic artist.
I think if you can _easily_ affort a display tablet, even as a beginner artist, go for it. But if you can't, buy a friking normal tablet. If you are patient and passionate enough, you'll get used to it.
Just remember, no tablet is going to make your art magically better.
I actually found your comment really helpful and since I want to start working on my webcomic as well I wanted to ask you for display tablet recommendations good for webcomic artists. I still have a pad tablet after many years of work but I can't get the colouring quality I would with a display one. Bur there is such a big range and I don't know where to start
Links to your stuff?
Its definitely not something you can just get used to. I cant deal with not being able to see my hands. I dont have good spatial awareness so it was practically impossible for me to even draw on one.
Do you recommend getting an Apple Pencil or a drawing tablet?

You have that 60 minutes / pbs documentary commentator voice.
His voice got me hooked
As owner of display, non-display and IPAD pro, I would like to share my opinion.
I met lots of people with mindset that non-display tablets are not as good as display ones because it is not the same feeling as traditional media.
But just imagine non-display tablets as future which eliminated cons that tradition media has. When you use it you can finally sit with your back and neck straight, not covering your artwork with your hand and make smaller arm/wrist movements to achieve bigger strokes. Which results in seeing artwork clearly, speeding up your process and giving more comfort and health. One week of getting used to this new technlogy sounds good to me. :)
P.S. I work at least 3x faster on non-display tablet.
As a beginner looking to start digital art, what size tablet would you recommend? Intuitively the larger sizes seem like they'd make it easier to control strokes, but the price jump between smaller and larger sizes seems really stark to me.
Yes can recommend some sizes and companies
I use Wacom Intuos Pro M size for 27inch 2k monitor. I used to use L size of same model and I have a feeling that I had a liiitle bit more precise lines. But M size takes less space on desk, can be put into backpack and allows me to make smaller strokes to achieve the same result => helps my arm/hand move across the screen faster and is more healthy in the long run.
If I were a novice and had enough money I would go for Wacom M. If I didn’t have, I would seek for alternative in HUION store I guess. I don’t think there will be a big difference.
P.S. sorry for late answer
i really want to make a comic requiring digital art and want to get more experienced in digital art .. i already have an ipad pro with an apple pencil and procreate, but was wondering if you thought that a non display tablet would be better and maybe some brands . i have a macbook air btw and tysm sorry this is kind of a lot to ask
@@gscgrey hi, IPAD is more like sketchbook. It is great for having fun and relax but very difficult to make money with. I mean you can make commissions there but be prepared to be several times slower in that. I think the best option is to have powerful PC and 2 monitors. I would recommend to have main monitor at least 2k 27inch with good colors (that is what I use), the second one can be worse and used for references, browser, music, discord and w/e else you need for work.
But having notebook and non display tablet M size (Wacom Intuos Pro will never dissapoint) is pretty solid way too. You will still be able to carry it in your backpack and paint in cafes. Just make sure to have big good additional monitor on your desk so you can be as productive as possible when working from home. Trust me, you will love it (my gf has this setup and she is angry that she didn’t buy additional monitor earlier).
Im planning on getting the ipad pro 11 inch.
You've helped me a lot, when it comes to art and techniqe(sorry for bad english) im 14 and i would love to become an illustraiter or digital artist when i grow up. All the time i draw traditional art everybody "praises" me or something. But i wanna try something new so im gonna try digital art, ive been wanting to try it for years and now when my birthday comes up im gonna get an ipad, i hope i get as good as you when i grow up! Thx for helping me a lot! Youre great❤
good luck! if you post your art in any social media i would gladly follow
Great advice. I personally took your advice to get the iPad pro back when I first started watching you and I did illustrate my own book and many other projects. I am very happy that I listened to your advice.
Thanks so much for the time and effort you are putting into all this information for all of us
I watch Josh's video because: 10% my interest in art, 90% Josh's soothing voice
I recently got the 2nd gen iPad Pro from 2017. $300 on eBay and I'm VERY satisfied with it. It's at least as good as a 2019 iPad Air. Apple releases "new builds" of the iPad every year, but the specs aren't exactly jumping ahead by leaps and bounds. Calling it new is just a sales tactic to make people think that they need to spend a bunch of money on a new tablet(And it works. Especially with the phones).
Would u recommend buying this over the Air? Also, where specifically did u buy the ipad? 😅
iPad Pro 2nd Gen 2017 still has ProMotion (120hz, less latency) so it's objectively better than Air 2019 for drawing, both use Apple Pen 1.
iPad Pro;'s from 2018 onwards uses Apple Pen 2 already, it's better, just works at all times with no hassle, the tilt/rotation.
my hands are so very small so i decided on an 11 inch ipad pro even though literally everyone says you Have to get a 12.9. im getting it in 3 days! i am very serious with art so the 1.2k price point was good enough for me especially since im using it for school and such as well. the price really racked up to 1.5k because of insurance/applecare/accessories which im planning on buying even more of/and even then i had chosen the cheapest options. the decision really depends on budget/hobbyist or wanting to sell art/hand size/ and what youre planning on doing with it. i could never use a non display tablet or one strictly for drawing because i wouldnt be able to justify the price.
update! ive had it for about a month now. it is Amazing. its the perfect size and i can use it for basically anything. im very happy with the purchase :) (btw procreate is really worth it but if you need a free app autodesk sketchbook is one of the best free drawing apps ive ever used and goodnotes 5 is really good for if youre using your ipad for school/work.)
@@uncoolmole i’m planning on getting either the ipad air or ipad pro for drawing, i still haven’t decided
Dude, can you read me bedtime stories
I just ordered an ipad Pro for the exact reason you mentioned, I am a pretty good artist when it comes to drawing and the idea of being able to draw on a tablet is awesome. While drawing on paper will always be my favorite thing, the convenience of drawing digitally with all the colors, brushes, etc. I can imagine is an awesome thing that I really want to give a shot. But if I end up not liking it too much, hey its okay, cause I still have an ipad pro that I can use for my career as an architect and just for consuming media and playing games. Thanks for this video!
you and brad colbow were the two channels who really weighed my decision to purchase an ipad for my drawing. I thank you for all the advice you give!
Yeah i feel like a lot of people just hate apple because well its apple but he has a point in how if you decide drawing digital isnt for you then you still have a nice tablet
Thanks Ergo. You really helped me make a big purchase for my daughter. She is an above average artist and I could not find something that fits the power she needs and my budget. I ended up going with the 7th gen iPad with the pencil. Compared to what she has now this is will be amazing. Thank you again for posting this.
RockKevin28 wow congrats 🎊 how old is she?
For those of you considering an iPad, I urge you to at least consider getting an android just for Krita. Its the full desktop version right on your tablet, and while its UI could use a little optimization, there just isn't anything as feature rich on iOS. Plus the galaxy tab series has wacom technology in the S pen.
Both ipad and galaxy tab are very good choices, but please look into both so you pick the right device for you.
Can you use the tab a 8.0 that doesn’t have a pen support for Krita? What type of stylus would I need? Thanks
@@t.terrell7037 if you don't have pen support you won't get pressure
What android would you recommend?
I have a decent desktop PC (Ryzen eight-core CPU, 32GB RAM) and I ultimately chose the Wacom One as my first display tablet. I'm not a fan of Apple's walled garden and after an iPhone SE, I didn't want to step into it any further, so an iPad was out of the question for me. I'm really happy with the Wacom One so far, but I also still consider myself as a beginner : )
Nice PC! The one will take you a lonnng way for sure
Quick tip for those who want to work in a professional field: EMPLOYERS WILL NOT HIRE THOSE WITH AN IPAD, OR ANYONE THAT DOESNT HAVE A SCREEN-ONLY FOR-DESKTOP TABLET. there are little widely used pro apps on the iPad, so it would be hard for the employer to work with you
Another tip: Use Photoshop, because it will be easier for you to learn image manipulation in general while you draw.
You can get by doing professional FREELANCE work with an ipad + procreate. But yeah if you want to work in a professional field, employers/studios will require knowledge of using Pen-Display tablets (like the Cintiq) and industry software such as Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint. You can get by without knowing how to use a pen-display tablet, but you'll need the software skills to get hired. Procreate most likely won't cut it in a professional studio.
Depends what field of artistry you work in....
What field of art would you work in (other than freelance) where iPad is an accredited and accepted drawing platform?? Not dossing the iPad, it's great, but from an employers perspective it aint it chief
Don't make it a generality , Photoshop is indeed as for no the most commonly used app in the industry but some studio are starting to shift and use procreate too, I don't know in what field you are specificlly speaking about but in the Video-games , animation industry that's the case.
Photoshop is the traditional way but if you bring the good art it doesn't really matter what software you use since lots of artist who work at a company (in the field i talked about) bring their stuff usualy

Another fact but just as important is choosing between a screen tablet (ie cintiq) and a drawing tablet (ie intuos). ask yourself how long you'll be drawing at a time: few mins? long hours? I opted for the intuos pro instead of the cintiq simply because I know my back wouldn't hurt as much if I draw for long periods of time. it's also just personal preference

This might be a bit random but your voice is beautiful
I've been using the tiny old Wacom Bamboo since I was 14, then I upgraded to the Huion Kamvas, which is lovely and amazing, but I can't help but wonder if I should have gotten an iPad instead, mostly because of Procreate and portability. But having to pay not only for the tablet, but also for the pencil... damn, that's a lot of money to invest just to be able to use one drawing app.
I love ur pfp!
No. That is the easy answer. You will not gain anything going to the iPad, when you already have the Kamvas.
That tiny screen kinda sucks, in my opinion. You did the right thing!
His voice is so calming i can listen to it all day
Came for the iPad stayed for your asmr voice 😙
I have an iPad Air 3 and i'm enjoying the experience. It gets the job done and I can draw wherever I go whether it's from home, work, a cafe etc. I use it primarily for artwork using procreate.
I'm thinking of buying a Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite, reviews say it's good overall and I'm just starting drawing as a hobby. Loved your video!
Did you end up buying the Samsung? How do you like it?
Muchisimas gracias por tu recomendaciones, es el primer video que veo ta completo, claro y que realmente ayuda a decidir. Además adoro tu voz.
Guys i wanna say that you should use a desktop cause you can get more power with less monney comparing with a laptop . Withe a graphic tablet something like xp pen or huion they are affordable and good quality .
You just convinced me to pick an iPad with a pencil. Thank you. I've been struggling something that really fits my needs for days and this video really tipped the edge.
Excellent informative/educational video about tablets for artist. This video is amazing with very good recommendations and very informative, congrats dude.
Your voice is amazing. I've had to watch this video way to many time. I fell asleep and just couldn't focus the next few times.
Your voice startled me LOL...Then I felt calm.
i have a 6th gen and just started drawing... im very happy with it. i use it for work, social media, and editing. i hope i could get an ipad pro
ipad pro is much expensive than drawing tablets from entry level wacoms or other brands.
some people will still use it for other things tho. and wacom is only used for drawing platforms WITH a laptop which costs usually more than an ipad. that's where the usability comes in
your voice is so smoothing and calming, is so nice to listen too
Another option, albeit used, would be the 2017 iPad Pro. The display is better than the new air, and would end up to be around the same price with a larger storage option as the air in the end. The performance is very slightly worse than the air, but in my opinion not enough to matter
Its the first video that i’ve see from you dude, but you already have one more subscriber.
The way you talk, I don’t know how to explain, you’re just so calm, and explain it clearly, thank you so much, i have an idea of what im gonna do now. Im an artist, but im still in training, im not profissional, and I want to try different things.
one answer GALAXY TABS
always for beginners
ipads is a no, its still expensive (in latam specially)
ipad pro only for pros lol

Actually, it’s more personal preference. I’m saving up for an ipad since I’m more used to it then a samsung. The ipad pro is for pro’s is also not true since I see a lot of people use it while they are still in school. Also, some apps aren’t available on samsung!

I think it's sad that like 80% of the artists I like switched to procreate and iPad .. you cannot use procreate brushes anywhere else and I feel like people forget about the PC users now :(
Having the same art program as your favourite artist makes it easier to follow along/understand speedpaints or tutorials and also BRUSHES ;;
Yeah I also don't understand that xd like computer is so much more superior. Something like the HP Zbook x2 G4 would be amazing tho, similar devices like that
OMG SOMEONE SAID IT im a fellow PC user as well and i feel like we are forgotten about tbh :/
Well, I’m switching from using procreate to using a pc. Lol
Yeah I’ve been noticing that trend a bit online as well. Don’t get me wrong because I think Procreate is a great art program app, but man I can’t imagine switching from Clip Studio Paint on my computer w/ my Intuos to Procreate on iPad. I’ve messed with many art programs on my computer for a few years and in the end I personally think Clip Studio Paint is absolutely amazing (their brush engine and stabilization is perfect for me) and nothing can compare. Also I’m pretty sure multitasking on the computer is easier than on an iPad (sometimes I put my references on a separate window from CSP and/or I watch a livestream or video while drawing).
I think I only know two people I casually follow who use CSP, but I’m honestly okay with that because thankfully the asset community on the Clip Studio website is really active if I ever need to look for a brush.
Extremely useful I've gone through so many bad videos only for this to remove doubt
this was super duper extra helpful!!
This is the exact video I was looking for! I haven't really been drawing a lot, but I want to pick it up as a hobby. I wasn't really sure what types of tablet types that existed. Got a 32GB ram & Ryzen 9 5900x Processor, which is pretty good. Being able to see what I am drawing is the main feature I wanted, now I know what I want, thanks!
The hell i was actually looking around the web for best tablets for beginners today and i was about to head out to buy one quickly.
Ding ding your video : let me help ya out.
the greatest comparison/advice video I have ever seen. hands down.
I’m getting an iPad Air 2019 very soon for digital art!
Hey um, just a suggestion...
If you'll buy a tablet for digital art, you should probably just opt for the older iPad Pros, even the Gen 1 works fine. Since they are older models, they are cheaper, and they offer a bigger screen size, with more RAM. Currently, the iPad Air has 3gb ram, but the older iPad pros offer 4gb RAM, as well as 6GB. A certain youtuber did a video on this, i think it was BeeJayDel, and he actually recommends the First Gen iPad Pro, and he also uses it for his work.
*third gen ipad pros are now @ ≈$500, and @ ≈$450 for student discounts
Just a suggestion tho
Too bad i cant afford an apple product
:(((
@Shin Khant Aung Myint oh okay...right, i forgot about the processors, im sorry.... Im actually planning to purchase and iPad for my digita art too, and this kinda helps, although im torn between the air and the third gen pro....
Congrats! Its what I use for my work. I use Medibang and Clip Studio for commissions. :)
A clear,common sense primer of current tablets to get, in all ranges.Very informative for newbies,like me,who are tech ignorant.
Me who already has a tablet and draws on it:*watches video anyways*
what do you use?
@@arii_pb Samsung Galaxy Tab A with a screen pen, i use ibispaint
I have an iPad mini 5, 1st gen Apple Pencil, and a paperlike screen protector. I 💕 it!!!!! Works like a charm.
Sitting here with 4 types of my own tablet, watching this like I'm going to find something you miss.
I’m just watching this for fun (boredom quarantine) bc I already have my ipad pro 11 2018 that i just got this january and as a beginner, i think it’s worth it lol
Im buying an ipad air 3rd gen for drawing and school :))
The Coronavirus I’ve got this one and it works perfectly!
The Coronavirus I’m gonna get the iPad mini 5 eeeehhaHHHHHH
I got the 10.2 iPad
You helped me soo much u deserve wayy more ur too underrated
I always laugh when the iPad pro is marketed as a "laptop replacement", don't get me wrong I love my iPad pro but nothing beats a real operating system. Also as Josh has pointed out, 3D artists have no choice in this matter, 3D apps on iOS suck donkey balls. I'm a 2D and 3D artist, the iPad Pro can mostly replace a 2D workflow but will never be a good device for 3D work, let along rendering.
@@Kenosha01 My setup is pretty old, a quad core AMD processor with hyperthreading, 32 GB of DDR3 Ram and and recently upgraded RTX 2070.
Hardware for 3D applications is not a "1 size fits all" situation at least according to this article www.neweggbusiness.com/smartbuyer/buying-guides/build-buy-3d-design-workstation/
TL;DR, you want a lot of ram a high clock speed CPU with a lot of cores and a GPU with CUDA cores. Also big harddrives, 3D files get huge fast.
To be frank a desktop setup will be much cheaper than a beefed out Mobile workstation or laptop (there is a difference)
Hi. Can you tell me the difference between iPad pro and iPad air? I didnt get it when he explained on the video. Thank uu
Absolutely bloody agree with you 3D work needs powerful software and I doubt the ipad will be capable of that any time soon.
It might be good for 3D if apps like Forger keep on getting updated as fast as they are. Maybe Blender could even come over. But it does everything else pretty much at the top level. Editing photos and video, 2D art, an animation app that is getting updated greatly and really good in Callipeg, etc in a small form factor.
@@xaviercopeland2789 it can do small simple animations, but definitely can't do full-fledged 3d/2d animation that need tons of frame work and effects.
I’ve used a wacom 13 HD for about 5 years and it served me really well, but recently it’s started to show it’s age, after 5 years of nearly constantly moving and nonstop use it’s finally on its last legs and looking for a new tablet has been really hard, I find it’s important to weight cost per time used ie, if this is the tablet I’m using for the next X years how much does that work out to per year, I think even if you’re starting out that’s a good way to gauge what makes sense for you, if you’re making money in your art it helps to factor in that to your decision. Sometimes it’s worth getting something more expensive if you KNOW you’re going to be using it for longer than you’d use a cheaper option. Look at reviews to spot build quality and how long it’s lasted people and be honest with how much you’ll be using it over the next few years. I like Wacom because I’ve been using their tablets since I started and I know their quality is good and they’ve lasted for about as long as I’ve needed them. That being said they are more expensive compared to some of the newer brands that I’ve seen in the past few years so look at user reviews to see how they last long term
My birthday is in a week or so I would like to ask my dad for something
I'm gonna choose a iPad mini, hopefully i will made a good choice
How did it go? Did you get it?
so I guess it all boils to your "work-lifestyle"
if you work most of the time indoors, a desktop tablet is better (either go for a non display(cheaper) or a display ready (expensive)
but if your work is on the go / you prefer working outside, go get a ipad (either a mini/air (cheaper) or a pro (expensive)
got it. LOLZ
I just subscribed because you need to be doing guided meditation or reading children’s books with this amazing voice that you have. It’s so soooooothing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ @ergojosh never stop.
I bought last year's iPad Pro the gen 7 and the colors are driving me up a wall. Everything is tinted orange. I turned off all the night sensitive stuff and messed around with all the settings but it was still orange compared to how the art looked on all my other screens. I contacted apple support and they said to go to a technician and the technician said that the ipad screens are garbage, especially the 7th gen and that I should get a Surface Pro instead. Has anyone else had an experience like this with ipads?
I know this is 6 months old, but I do recommend the Surface Pro. I've never had an iPad, but I currently own the Surface Pro 7 and it works really well with Autodesk Sketchbook. This is a PC, though, so you can't get mobile apps. Another thing to note is that Autodesk Sketchbook has no clipping masks and really limited layer masks all around, and doesn't have screen toning. As a person trying to get into comic art, that kind of sucks for me. I've been looking around at CSP and Samsung tablets too, but I'm a little more unsure about iPads after reading this. Did you end up getting the Surface Pro?
I started with an iPad Air 4 now I just go between my two iPad Pro’s 2021 they work so smoothly
i wish to become like you all artists >///
If I'm going to have a mobile tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab s6 lite will be my go-to. It's still just as good as it's more expensive counterparts, yet the price is good enough.
But for now, I'm using a laptop and a Huion 420
I currently use my phone and a Huion HS64 and I'm having a hard time working with details cuz my screen is so small. Or am I just bad?
Nobody I think it’s the size of your screen. Because drawing on a phone professionals struggle with.
Lately whatever art video I am looking for, you have a video about the subject 🤩
Anyone else admire the slim, grey, wireless keyboard that was never used?
You mean the one that’s smaller than his hands lol 😂
Your voice is really soothing and calming...
I only heard "Then buy the iPad pro"😁
This was an amazing watch, thank you for answering so many of my questions on the topic, Josh!
Corpse: I have the deepest voice.
Josh: Hold my apple pencil
I have an iPad Pro Gen 2... I got it second hand and it was one of the best purchases I’ve made since i got it for cheap
For some reason, I thought those hands belonged to MKBHD
