Half asleep, coffee fueled, Artist-Writer, I review pen display tablets and technology from top makers like Wacom and Huion. In addition, I do writing and art tutorials or anything related to tools helping the creative process.
“The artist committing himself to his calling has volunteered for hell, whether he knows it or not. He will be dining for the duration on a diet of isolation, rejection, self-doubt, despair, ridicule, contempt, and humiliation.”

Thanks for stopping by, drop a comment while you're here and remember, just because you are on a different path it doesn't mean it's the wrong one.
ye wacom cost right now 2700 euros the xpen artist pro 24 cost 700 euros lol who to choose ... geez how about f wacom how about that? and seriously whos using a biillion colors lol i only need 24x 4 max ffs lol u know why its named whackem its whackin my economy!
@@CreateNowSleepLater i got lucky last night i found a wacom cintiq pro 16 pro allmost brand new hardly used on marketplace for 500 euros , snagged it and called it a day but i feel wacom is overpriced and so is that leech of a company called adobe, if buying a program isnt owning one , then stealing it isnt piracy. btw have u used Photopea? u think its as good as photoshop? its for free ...im new to the digital game but i just wanna buy a program thats pro and i only need to pay once for ownership.
Look i get it... But what piss me off is not about the subscription...BUT THE DOODLE MODE!!! OF NOT LETTING ME SAVE MY WORK!! OR EXPORT IT!!! ITS SOOO DUMB!!!
Screen recording using what? This display just like any pen display is just a monitor. Your screen recording will be done by whatever laptop or pc its attached to. Its not a computer, its just a display with a pen.
"Perpetual license," these days, means "you will be paying for the license perpetually." A new phrase/term is needed. And, how bad is it that your clear explanation still makes no sense. (But I appreciate you tried.)
Great overview and advice. Thanks for sharing. I currently have a perpetual license but only bought upgrades when they were on sale. Tbh I am seriously thinking of changing to a different app but haven't found one yet.
@@CreateNowSleepLater Currently, I use Affinity Designer and Blender. Once Affinity "sees the light and starts this same dumb subscription B.S., I'm switching over to paper/pence/scanner.
I totally get it. Its a complex and silly model honestly. Its probably a matter of time before they drop the perpetual model anyway. Krita is pretty good (and its free).
Thanks for the cool/funny tone review. How do you compare this tablet with the XpPen 13 2nd Gen ? I Watched the review you made on it, but if you had to pick one between the two, which one would it be and why ? Thanks for your help :)
I think they have lost their way. I don't know who they are making these devices for. Design choices are silly and this entire new line is so expensive. I can't imagine why anyone would pay these prices with so many other choices out there.
Yep. Tablets are just input devices. They don't care about which program you are using but you want to make sure they support pressure sensitivity which Krita does.
ATTENTION FOR LEFT HANDED ARTISTS: This Tablet has NO support for left handed use in phone mode, i contacted HUION about it they basically said "too bad, phone mode only works for right handed artists" not a SINGLE review on youtube mentions this, HUION also doesnt mention this, its so unfair. It is pretty scummy and astonishing they have never thought about left-handed artists who want to draw on their phones/tablet. Guess i have to return the tablet back to them then.
DON'T BUY THIS! I waited THREE YEARS to receive my physical copy of the bundles. Emails back and forth, saying it was delayed. I was patient. Never came. Caved and bought the digital "ebooks" only to find that you can't actually download the PDFs like every other ebook ever, they force you to open them manually in some website, which makes it absolutely a pain in the ass to use and impossible to access Offline.
Does it work on specific drawing programs or i can use whatever i want? I have been really hesitant of buying one because of thr programs since i don't wanna purchase a program 😭
I think it depends on how you draw, wrist vs arm. It also matters how much you value the dials vs the drawing space. The pen performance is the same. If you are using a large display, that might be a factor too.
@@CreateNowSleepLater I have always used a small tablet bt it kind of cramps my hand I draw with wrist bt for creating big shapes I use palm it's just the price difference between them isn't much and I have a 24 inch monitor will upg to 27 inch in future and if we ignore the dials what will be your suggestions then medium size or large?
I totally get it. The prices are mental and the performance to cost ratio between Wacom and the competition just doesn’t justify it. I also think they have taken a step back engineering wise. The Pro’s seem to have a lot of complaints about fan noise. I think Wacom needs to get back to basics.
Hello, how is it? I bought mine 6 months ago, and I actually got mine replaced lately due to some company's fault issues (I received it today), the issue is when every time I tap and press the upper left side of the screen, the entire screen malfunctions and shuts off. Do you have any advice on how to effectively manage this tablet, I'm scared to have that kind of problem again. TwT
@@CreateNowSleepLater I doesn't, but they told me that the cause of this is the use of small stablet stand. The tablet is too slim and heavy that a small tablet stand will bend and twist the tablet's internals over time.
I'm not sure how that would break the tablet but there are plenty of stand alternatives. I use this one which is what was in the video: amzn.to/3ECIKJI
YOU SAVED ME😭😭 Thank you so much!! I tried many different ones but they all took so long and always gave errors but this one didn't! I knew there would be an easier way but I didn't know it is THAT easy lol
I have a youtube account I want to get back but I can't remeber my second google account what's so ever and I am hoping if I can make another account and use it to get my second account back I don't wanna make another youtube account I wanna use my second youtube channel
And finally I'm here too Thanks for the video. Now can't to choose between x-pen 4k 16" and huion 24" 2k, or porbabaly better to choose Apple iPad Air (2022) . 🙃🙈I would choose Wacom, but havne't necessary budget. Basically gonna use for for 2d art and some 2d animation
Budget? The iPad will give you a lot of flexibility. Those are very different sized between the 16" and the 24". If you are choosing the iPad, that kind of makes you an iPad artist. (Not that its bad). A 24" tablet is a huge amount of space. Very different use cases.
Just a heads up for any hypersensitive people out there. I have the cintiq 16 and I have a huge complaint. That is the sound of the pen against the screen. So just be aware of that ✨❤️😊
Yep but thats a Google thing. You are basically commenting as a Brand, not an individual. Thats why if you give someone else the Manager role, they can comment and it looks just like you.
@@ni-wo Really? Thats an odd choice. Maybe the heat that thing puts out makes it impossible to not cool. I had my touch board go on my 24" and got it fixed. I feel like the entire thing was moving around inside. I think heat over time on these are a big problem which likely causes most of the issues people experience. The fact that the new Pro 22/27 have fans that you cant shut off is probably proof of that.
**Guys note that if you buy it digitally, you cant print it, you cant use it like copy something you want, you cant screenshot it(to put it in photoshop for instance as a reference for your drawing). You will just view it. ** >I tried to buy it as an ebook and i waited 24 hours (as they say in their website) to recieve the ebook, but they didn’t send it to me. >I have sent them also an email about a question for the product some days ago but i didnt generate an answer either. >If you want to buy it, pay with paypal because you can easily get a refund with their help if you do not get the digital product.
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤ This video helped me A LOT!! I have lost all my materials and preferences once because my naive ass thought I just needed to copy the whole clip studio folder in the HD and not the one in Appdata, long story short, didn't copy the CELSYS. lost all my stuff. 😭😭😞😞 Great video ❤
I can get to the change to brand account but the spastics at youtube have not put a proceed button so it just says 'this is the account that will be moved' without any button to continue. They should gouge out the eyeballs of the people who created this shit GYUI so they can never code again. Massively annoying
I bought CSP Pro 2.0.6 and it didn't come with most of the default decorations it should have had from previous versions. It's the most stripped-down version I'd ever seen, barely any brushes to speak of. Now I can download all the brushes it's missing! Thank you so much!
Thanks for noticing me.Maybe I asked the wrong question ...No, I'm interested in the Wacom Link adapter itself.. When you connect the tablet to the computer through it ... does the power of the tablet itself increase ? The models have become more complicated and there is not enough power .. And I am very used to it ..., the most precise pressing , lines, everything is straight 💫 💥 full immersion..But in the usual way, just at a distance through the screen .., well, it's very difficult to feel and guide the point. Therefore, the question is whether it is worth buying a Wacom Link adapter, whether it will help when connected to a PC to increase the power of my tablet.I also ask those who have used such an adapter. With respect. Good evening, everyone
Man, if I had the space for a bigger tablet and enough ports for one that needs to be plugged in I’d definitely get this (I have a Wacom intuos Bluetooth but it’s the small version so it’s kinda annoying and also the Wacom drivers fuck themseleves sometimes lol)
