I'm Quitting: Painful Truth About Drawing Tablet Reviews [Scribble Kibble  

Is there any reason we can't ask to be paid to do the review and still do a good job? There is ALWAYS a reason to have a biased opinion and self serve, yet a lot of people like Brad and yourself don't alter the truth even if you're given a tablet or paid by the company. I think we keep trying to protect against the lie that getting paid to do our jobs causes us to lie. It's a reality that people lie, but youtubers that SELL a companies products should be thought of as professionals able to be paid like professionals and still produce honest, trustworthy reviews.

@@ARandomMonitor I absolutely agree that the likelihood of falling into the trap is greater when you think you are "untrappable". My main point is that getting paid to do a review doesn't equal biased untruthful review. I believe we are on the same page on that point, but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm saying that it can be done correctly with intelligent checks and balances without resorting to "reviewers should only review products they personally pay for". I don't think that's a sustainable business and if it is, that's because in some roundabout way the reviewer IS still getting paid for the review even if it's not that company paying them. Which can still cause bias. Here is the long and short of it for me. I've seen countless people never even start attempting to do good things because their motivation wasn't perfect yet. It's likely it never will be perfect or that we will ever actually be unbiased completely. But THAT'S OKAY. That's why we watch multiple reviews from various biases or just find someone who has the same biases as us so we end up with a product we like. 😊 Btw, you didn't come across at all as angry or insulting. you made a lot of good points. Hopefully I also don't come across wrong. Capitalization used to emphasize the words not to text yell. Brad, sorry about highjacking your kind and considerate comment to Crowne Prince. Was kind of hoping you would read my comment and reconsider your position on doing reviews. May be beneficial to get a bunch of us tech reviewers into a conversation somewhere and establish some education and standards to improve the situation for everyone, reviewers and manufacturers.

Tablet Pro Tablet Pro I do agree people need to make money, people have to eat, after all. The place that money comes from can affect the work you do though. When it’s through a group of viewers who you’re providing the reviews for, in general that provides a better environment for unbiased - or at leased consumer biased - reviews. Granted it’s not a guarantee, and I can think of a few examples where following the fans has actually caused it’s own issues, but it’s a better position at least. Totally agree with you on the motivation bit. I’d love to make art but trying to draw anything is very stressful for me because I can see what I want yet feel how utterly awful my own work is, and there’s nothing immediate I can do about it. On a somewhat related note, I wish that was the focus of shows that try to tell you you can do anything. Everyone already knows it takes hard work to get what you want, but if you tell a strong artist to draw with their off-hand, even they aren’t going to last long. They have the exact same almost physical repulsion to their work that I do when I try to draw, it’s crazy. There’s something about that they managed to get over at one time, and that’s the part people like me need help with.

@@TabletPro your comment is out of no where--

to be fair , a good tablet lasts you 10 years , so theres no need for these rweviews anyways , one good review is better than 100´s of advertisement disguised as reviews

Thats some inspirating words, you inspired me to help other! Thanks man and have a good day!

You started this Aaron :). I'm glad that you are finally being vindicated after the garbage you received both from ignorant users, and other reviewers when you first called out how crappy these companies were. I knew from the beginning that you were right because I was screwed up by two of these chinese knockoffs. If only you have released your review a little earlier. :_)

Same damn i would cry my eyes out

@Flooffa its not clickbait... its literally IN the title read it and thats what the video was about

Oof I thought that too qwq

Graphite Tail Grace I know

@Ath Collins I don't have a specific channel because any channel dedicated to reviews are probably biased anyways. Just look for reviews of tablets/products you're interested but make sure the user has actually paid for it that way you'll know they are invested.

I know and it s u c k s ;-;

So is huion good??

@@yuugael4010 it's horrible. it's a 50/50 chance if it will work for you or not based on your computer, and even then the cables are horrible and it's not compatible (it will glitch) with many art programs

@@zviyeri9117 huh i think i will take my chances, i don't think i can afford buying a wacom with my pocket money anyway

@@yuugael4010 That's risky, dude. Try buying cheap wacom models OR secondhand cheap wacom models that's in your budget range. That way, you lose nothing. Edit: I suggest One by Wacom or an old Intuos Model. Saving up for something that will last long is worthwhile imo.

@@yuugael4010 wacom is the way to go, though. my first tablet was huion and it was a pain to use. then I saved up for a wacom and experienced rebirth

i know im was scared

Same

I spit out my Fanta when I read the notification

same!

same, I saw the title up to "Painful Truth About Drawing" but the rest was hidden.

Aha I just looked at different companies and saw which I'd like most and what's fitting. Xp pen is really good works like a charm

FatCat_Studios it actually works really well and was reasonably priced too!

@sponoxbb Wacom is actually really good, I just wouldn't recommend the cheaper stuff like huion

I tried to replace my small, old Wacom Bamboo Fun with another competitor brand. Big mistake. The pen tip was so wobbly (it feathered way too much) and the surface was far too smooth -> which may be great for gaming like OSU, but for the love of god, try to do a lot of detailed freehand drawing on that thing and you'll get a cramp because you need to focus mind and muscles thrice as usual. The 8k pen pressure for a pen tablet may be nice, but that won't do justice if the drawing haptics are just crap.

Most of us didn't have big enough screens so we could not see the whole title in the preview.

Oh okay

2nd is me ;)

@@bioniclink3026 actually , you couldnt read the whole title , that also means you didnt read the whole title , gotem

bionic link I’m on a phone and could see it-

Yessss!!! Me too!

I didn’t even realize that until you commented!

@@couchpotatomakesart7307 that’s a huge mood, most people I know have to deal with the same thing lol.

I know mine is coming TODAY! Im panicking Huion HS64 and 😨😨😨😰😰 I'm praying mine isn't gonna be bad

I'll tell how it works, how is yours working?

Ok it CAME. So far it's actually pretty good. My first one so cant compare but it's pretty good. Better than how I used to do things. Still getting used to it.

@@ebiisauce1448 yes defidently, just gotta find the right drawing app if you want to use it on your phone. Everything is working properly and it fits my for my needs since drawing is just a hobby of mine.

Bruh same, Im super worried now lmao

Same

Lmao this comment is beautiful, yess

Not really , scanning pencil drawings to draw in multiple layers is very tedious Also, erasing irl is nowhere near as awesome as digital stuff (with undo button right there alongside the selection tools allowing you to try and experiment new stuff)

@@rewrose2838 lol r/whoooosh

Same here! But I'm practicing in digital, and I dont have a good camera to film my traditional art. Makes me kinda miss my pencilcrayons...

Amazon and sites like that have surprisingly loose rules on reviews. I work for a construction company and we've had reviews removed from our Yelp pages just because the customer said that we asked them to write a review (we didnt tell them what to say or how to rate us in any way). I've heard about some products on Amazon having terms attached with the "free product" that can be shocking restrictive like requiring perfect scores and crap like that. They want an artist to do $1000 in advertising for them in return for a $100 product. This is why im always suspicious of any online review videos where someone just rambles on about how perfect their product is.

“T” means testosterone.., so I would suggest changing it to ‘Tea’

@@couchpotatomakesart7307 i subbed, but fr you’re really underrated.

@@couchpotatomakesart7307 hey, your art is great and all but if you think self promo is something that you need to apologize for, maybe don't do it? Commenting on random channels won't get you far and it really turns alot of people off , but if they came upon your channel more organically it would have been more likely for them to check out on more of your stuff. Try posting on multiple social media, post alot on RU-vid, tell your friends etc . I tend to share my favorite underrated RU-vidrs to other people too . But it's annoying to see so much self promo everywhere

@@idontexist1966 yeah, i saw people dislike bomb a video because a random reply linked it in an irrelevant comment. the commenter who linked it wasn’t even the creator.

@stx Are you illiterate? Where the hell did Nomnom mentions themselves at all? They were literally just talking about Crowne, learn to read before commenting lol

@@couchpotatomakesart7307 your welcome!

but she just admitted to selling out?

And there have been others that have done this before her.

@@robloxsticknews1022 the point is, she actually admitted it

Arisuvi, I think so😆

Nope I saw the word review and tablets XD

Yup 😂

(Not sure how to fit this in, but I'm on a laptop and google chrome 100% zoom)The reason most of us were fooled was that we couldn't see the review part of the title. The title I saw was "I'm Quitting: Painful Truth About Drawing Tablet.." the dots were normal on his videos because of his thing at the end of his titles and with the context, I at least read the title as I'm Quitting: Painful Truth About Drawing TabletS. That made me think A."Please don't tell me you're actually quitting," and B."What's so bad about drawing tablets?". Well at least I'm informed about this. I really wish he tested out his titles to see if they weren't clickbaity to a majority of his audience.

Arisuvi nah you’re not alone. I saw the whole title

I may call my digital skills moderate or acceptable but we, artists, also got a pride with our creativity and having a company to criticize your digital knowledge as a “Newb” hits more differently 😭🤣

It might just be a recent "major uptick" in the visibility of tech' companies... BUT I think it's worth pointing out that marketing practices have been shady as hell for generations across the board. That's not to say every company out there is full of BS just because they approach you... There are genuinely decent people EVEN in marketing. Bottom line??? Never EVER decide you want a fancy toy so bad you willingly jump backward through fiery hoops to get it... ;o)

Oh no, they ask you to do something which you can say "No" too, send you free stuff, have guidelines you can ignore, offer things you can negotiate with, and the worst they can do is just stop sending you free things. Good golly how oppressive.

There are laws on the matter, and you should familiarize yourself with them if you're either party in this situation.

Suddenly everything is illegal. Bad idea.

@@couchpotatomakesart7307 there are a lot of ways to grow but this ain’t it sis

*S k e t c h y* haha.... hahahahahha.... hah.

@@3osprey it does paint the tablet industry in bad light.

If you're not sure what brand to buy, just buy a Wacom.

I wanted to buy a Huion once, as because a friend once recommended it. But I was curious by the price point "Is that thing even good?" so I ended up buying a Wacom Intuos S. Just by the build quality and the natural feeling and especially the fact I didn't even have one error with tablet drivers I was glad to just get extra money for it. Still have it working to this day.

@Final Fantasy get a Surface. it has a built in wacom.

@@Darkest_matter no it doesn't. Where did you hear that?

@@CnithTheOnliestOne They used to; Surface 2's have wacom digitizers and there's an unofficial driver from Wacom devs. Surface 3 onward is N-Trig though!

Ah, okay.

Some are good, though.

is it good?

yeah, is it good? give us the tea

this was my first time using graphics tablet so idk if it's amazing or ok but one thing's for sure, it works. i've been using it for only four months but i haven't experienced any major issues yet. i bought the huion h640p for around 46USD but it's pretty good for my newbie standards. there was one annoying minor issue that i kept having whenever i use it on my laptop. idk if it's my usb port's fault but it kept disconnecting and reconnecting. anyways, it wasn't really a huge deal, i got used to it. it was also compatible with android devices since it came with a micro usb and type-c adapter. for now, im pretty happy with my purchase. i just hope that it will last for a long time.

@@michiyoymzk4504 hey! I saw this was 4 months ago but you replied 5 days ago! Thanks for the update :) if you have any updates again @ me If you can ;)

@@saltedwounds sure! no worries 😊

If it's your first one, just get a Wacom anyway. Their cheap ones might look like short on features but you can always just use keyboard shortcuts to do things. What matters is that the drawing experience is quite solid.

@Ath Collins I don't think it matters that much when coming to choosing from intro level Wacom stuffs. If you feel it fits your need, just go ahead. But if you are asking which size to pick, you shouldn't run into any issue with the small size unless you are on a large 4K display, and smaller means more ergonomic. Though if you already feel difficult writing smaller text you might want to get a bigger one.

yup! you only need an animation program, as long as it lets you draw the tablet doesnt matter.

Huion seems to have 50/50 chance of getting a quality tablet and when the tablets aren’t the good ones they seem to suffer from serious issues (one comment says theirs caught fire). I also personally use the Wacom Intuos in the small size and It is amazing (feels natural, high quality, bluetooth, tilt support and a good size for what I draw) I don’t have issues with the fact it has only 4 buttons since I don’t use shortcut keys. Though it seems to really depend on what side of 50/50 spectrum you’re on.

@@turtle7898 I dont believe in that 50/50 bullsht because if it was that high of a chance to break then Huion would be out of business by now. You all are acting like Wacom doesn't break or its like the god of tablets. I just don't like wacom's price to performance because to me it feels like a rip off when you can have better deals else where. I would even say Apple's Ipad pro + apple pencil is a better deal because you can do many things on an ipad.

cx I’ve heard a lot more about Huions breaking then Wacoms so some type of quality issue must be present with some of the Huion tablets.

Huion is cheap crap, I’ve had my Kamvas 13 replaced three times and they still had the same issues. Made an instant switch to XP Pen after that.
