Should also probably check out the xp artist 12 if your interested in a cheap drawing monitor, it's the size of a standard sheet of copier paper but it has a screen that you can draw on. "No more juggling between drawing and looking at the computer screen. :) "
My boyfriend actually got this one for me and I'm so fucking glad that he did because this is my first tablet and its exactly that, the perfect transition from traditional to digital. I'd only ever used a phone and hes supporting me starting up my business...love him
Hey Jazza, I'm noticing a lot of unstable lines still (Especially when you zoom in on your digital work). I have to say that that is one of my biggest turn offs when it comes to drawing digitally. I pretty much always draw traditionally now. Is there a program (for mac.. so can't use SAI) that gets rid of that shaky line structure?
+MayaWolvesWM No, don't give me that post-modernist bullshit. Art is subjective, sure but to be art it must be a meme - I don't mean this in the internet sense but the historical sense. You cannot 'imagine' things and it be art it has to be physical, observable to people and can be shared. You cannot make a painting using ultraviolet paint and call it art. You can, if you allow a way to see it like some special monitor. Good luck trying to do watercolor or any substractive medium. What I meant was skill level not literally a 'true artist.' It takes confidence and know how to be able to create something that has no undo. Mastering that skill puts that artist well above that of a Undo spammer. I draw in pen, use markers and when in digital paint additively like you would do in acrylic. Try it out sometime.
This video makes me proud of my mom. Here's the story: So for Christmas I got an animation tablet. I was happy, and we finally got around to setting it up and using it. Turns out it didn't work and I was disappointed because we had trouble setting it up. She went out of her way to buy me a new one and I got this tablet. I didn't know it at first that Wacom was great, and when I found out that Wacom was great, I was proud of her. And when I found this video, I was even prouder that she picked a tablet, Jazza approved. I really like it and I have gotten pretty used to it. I also didn't know you were supposed to only look at the screen, lol.
That's the way comics and manga are made today. Pencils, inks, scan and color. So you're not poor, you're traditional. (even the mangakas use frames to add textures and grays to the drawings)
I'm Sorry Jazza i really do try my hardest to pay attention when you're talking on facecam but Pikachu keeps staring at me like he knows something i don't
Then you should kill pikachu, That will simply put you in jail because he one of, if not the most popular pokemon. Anyways once Pikachu's popularity has died down, it would just look wrong for Jazza to still have the picture of Pikachu on his wall. There you go, I just solved your problem.
this video contributed 100% to the reason i got this tablet in the med. this was my first tablet and im still blown away. ive been drawing non stop every day just because of this tablet! THANKS JAZZA!
This is one of the prime benefits of the internet. Was thinking of ordering one already . . however, having been disappointed too many times, decided to see what others thought about it after actually using it. Jazza sold it to me lol. Thanks Dude.
Yeah, I was thinking way more!! I'm actually excited because if they continue with this technology it would be easily feasible to get one in two or three years!
Hai Jazza! I love watching your videos, and I just went to art class today, and just found out that my art teacher watches you too! This exact video on his latptop, and his reccomendations full of videos by you! Its so great to find out how your content appeals to many ranges of audiances, keep up the good work!
Draw with Jazza do you have to have a laptop after you download programs?? Please answer my birthday is soon and I want to know if it's worth it I watch your channel every days since I found out about you and I love art even MORE.
I bought this cute little guy cause I’ve done strictly traditional art my whole life. The idea of starting doing digital art with some semblance of the style I’ve master makes this whole transition all the more manageable. I can't wait to get it in the mail! 💙💙🥰
Congrats!! Could you please give an update after getting it? ^^ I wanna get the intuos pro but I don't know if getting the paper edition is worth it or if I should get the regular one (this is gonna be my first drawing tablet, I only do traditional art and sometimes draw on my phone)
Amina heyy! Of course! So I absolutely love it and I wouldn’t change it until I get to a more professional level for something like a Cintiq. The digital pen is amazing with all of the pressure sensitivities and the wacom pair perfectly with my (hp/windows) laptop and even with GIMP. The paper feature is okay and actually pretty fun and useful at times, but for medium tablet the space for the paper is smaller than I’d like. Also, it is true, the nib wears down easily. After only six hours of use I found myself having to replace it because it was too sharp. I fixed it by putting a clear plastic (the kind grandparents have in their couches) over it in leu of the actual smooth screen they sell and so far I haven’t needed to change the nib. All that being said, I think that you don’t really need it to transition. What I’ve learned is that despite their differences, digital and traditional art are pretty similar. So maybe you’ll be better off getting either a cheaper tablet or a more expensive display tablet. I actually think the wacom one is the same price and it is a display tablet. Maybe look into that one too. There are plenty of options. Get whichever you think will help you best for the ART you want to create. You’ll transition either way! Hope this helped! 💙
I don't usually watch unboxing videos, but you never fail to make me laugh when you bring out your personality in your videos :D Even if I don't need another drawing tablet it's always more than entertaining to watch you goof around. Keep up the awesome work!
I purchased your character design book, and I really love it ! :) The anatomy tips are very useful and easy to follow, and the differend stages of drawing are well put together. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
you are girl - there is not so much country with ame sex mariage - and quote from Your YT page "I'm a 12 year old kid who likes animating and drawing, there's not much more about me."
when you showed the extra tips i was thinking about how my tablet didnt have those. i got the idea to check my pen stand, and it turns out that i have had extra tips for years, and not known about it .. :3
This is perfect timing. I’ve been drawing on paper then scanning..then digitizing the image. Great excuse to upgrade and I can use it for my photo editing also. Win win.
hey hey! my first and only tablet was a bamboo! I never really got into using a tablet since it couldnt really pick up every stroke. but seeing this makes me want to give it a try. Thanks Jazza!
didnt you see how BAD the lines came out from the paper thing? jazza is a pro, and those lines near the end, where he zoomed in, are below newbie level. Practice more with your cintiq and you will get to the point you can draw the lines you want :)
i'm getting that annoying "Shoe Lace" effect on my cintiq. It's not related to the hardware because i had those awful artifacts on my old bamboo and intuos. But i can't solve it....
I felt the same way when I first got my Cintiq and I preferred paper. But you just have to experiment with different brushes and practice a lot to get used to it. Now I prefer sketching digitally over paper! But if you still want to use paper, you don't need a fancy tablet like the one on this video to get that paper feel. Just draw on regular paper, then use a scanner to import it into Photoshop.
I know It's 2020 but this video really helped me find a drawing tablet that suits me! I'm pretty bad with technology stuff and I needed an explanation that I couldn't get from shops. Thank you so much Jazza!
Jazza, Thank you so much. I recently got a Wacom Intuos Pro, I got it a best buy for about $230-ish. I never knew that the pen holder doubled as a tip holder. I never knew the little prongs were tips. I have the bad habbit of pressing down hard on my pens, which causes the tip to wear down. You saved my pen, and quality of my art. Thank you very much Jazza. ❤❤❤
you know, this was a year ago, but i gotta say, you are so lucky, you were 14 when you got one, meanwhile, i just started trying out digital but i don't have enough money and i'm still a kid (17).. i don't even have money for basics sometimes, but even so, i am so happy for your success!! i feel so happy when people finally gain something and they seem happy, so keep doing what you do because you are my inspiration and you are amazing!! i know you won't see this comment but stay awesome jazza!!
Never seen your videos before, but watched this because I was looking for reviews for this tablet as my old Intuos Pro has died on me for a second time and I need a new one. And I have to say, you're wonderfully funny and informative. I truly enjoyed watching this video, and thank you for making it.
@@Rocinate Years of abuse and daily useage. The charging port was pretty bust up, and it's been repaired in the past. This time it was a mix of the port being bust, at the software itself just noping on me. Every time I plugged it in I got a message saying the device had malfunctioned, and failed to be recognised. Usually that happens when the port nopes on me, so I tried every fix I've done in the past, resetting, reinstalling, updating and so on. But yeah, just didn't want to work or charge at all. So in the end I decided it'd be easier to just buy a new tablet, rather than pay to get my old one fixed, just for it to break again in the future. That and an upgrade to a smaller, lighter tablet is a nice bonus.
The look of that brush at 11:55 is amazing. Is that one of yours or someone else's? Is there a link to it? Thank you for the review, it's an intriguing device. God bless you
The major advantage I can see for this over a cintiq is portability. I have never been a fan of the cintiq because I prefer to lounge back on a couch to draw. This would let me do that. Seriously considering getting one.
Jazza, you have inspired me to start drawing and to get my very own drawing tablet! You are a great youtuber and artist, I think you will get very far in RU-vid.
What I don't understand is how they sponsored you for this. But they marketed the Cintiq Pro 13" and 16" almost zero percent. People don't even know they exist or the release dates, and it got announced BEFORE the Intuos Pro. I'm frustrated with Wacom right now.
I'm super frustrated by the lack of information and promotion for the new Cintiq Pros also. Wacom has great products and technology, but they're really dropping the ball with the Cintiq Pros. I was planning on buying one, but I'm now leaning toward the next iPad pro instead, since it's rumored to be releasing in March.
Yeah, I guess you're right. Just can't help but be jealous of people with those expensive-ass screen tablets. I'm prepared to be ripped into more i can handle it
I have been wanting a Wacom for a few years and after getting enough money, this was the exact one I bought. Thank you for the video, as it gives me a good idea on what to expect, as I have never had a drawing tablet before.
8000 pressure sensitivity! :,D Indescribable stuff from Wacom. The layer dividing is rather exciting. Very smexy. Thanks for showing Jazza! That unboxing = wow, no words, amazing. 0_0 Informative video, looks really cool.
It's late so maybe I miss heard but sounded like you kept saying INKSCAPE (which is like freeware illustrator) but the app title bar says INKSPACE. Wacom may not like that :).. Love your stuff BTW. Keep it up
I really wish i could like pad-style drawing tablets, but I have used a Bamboo Create for years and I can confidently say that I hate them. As good as some might be, I just can't handle the disjointed feeling of drawing on the table, while looking up at the screen. This tablet does intrigue me though. I'm about to buy my first cintiq, and I'm very excited about it! The Cintiq Pro 13" looks fantastic, and I'm very excited to test out the Pro pen 2. Thanks for the review Jazza.
I'm so glad to find a good review on this! I'm really considering getting this for christmas and wanted to be sure it works well in case it's like another device that's meant to do something similar but hardly works at all. Thank you for such in depth input!
great review and I want a blooper real of you saying "way-com" instead of "wah-com" and getting angry at yourself!! anyways pretty impressed with the product until you zoomed in at 14:16. it's a great feature to have to transfer and sketch art, but the lines look very bumpy and shaky. It would bother me enough to then still having to go and "ink" the art digitally with a smoother brush to create smoother lines, maybe defeating the purpose a tiny bit??
+Simply Steve keep in mind that WAS my first drawing with the device lol. Also i have to keep my head at a distance from my drawing to make room for lighting and cameras which effects line stability.
you actually replied.. oh dear :O yea I guess it's fair to say it's the first drawing, so it might take some getting used to and things will be smoother with more use. Thanks for the videos, looking forward to more!
Would you say that the buttons on the pen feel weird? or that the active area is really rough? I want to buy my first tablet but i dont know if the nib use is to much Ive heard a lot of bad things about the pth 660 for some reason :/
Nessi-Music the active area is very rough but you can (this was clearly a marketing ploy by Wacom) replace the actual active area with a $30/40 (depending on if you have medium or large) "texture sheet" which can make it smoother or rougher
I have the large version, only just got it recently. I was disappointed in how soddy the digital version looked, so hard and thin and nothing like the organic original... I even bought extra nibs and the other pen + extra nibs, thinking I'll use it a lot, but I probably wont use it much at all =/ I might use it when sketching, just cause I can, but I'll probably re-do the entire lines (though I like to color in such a way that the lines are removed anyway, guess I can still use it for that style) Is there any way to change the output settings to a softer brush instead of the hard pencil?
video idea: tips and tricks for traditional artists switching to digital or drawing tablet. Your first hand account of when you switched and your struggles. love your videos :D
Artomistical I'm not gonna put words in his mouth but how highly he spoke of it i think he would suggest it to anyone serious enough about art and digital art as a passion and possible career
it's not about the tablet. a tablet is basically drawing from a marker then changing to an expensive marker. you can make awesome art with crayons/pencil/pen same as a bamboo tablet but it all depends on skills.
I've got the Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, and I had no idea it was the "best" one out there! My family doesn't have much money, yet my dad somehow managed to purchase this tablet for me for Christmas a few years ago. Damn, I wanna go hug him, and my tablet! Ha ha!
Don’t try and get a new tablet just yet I have the same one you do and I’m trying to tape a piece of paper with a drawing on to the tablet.Then to make it digital just draw over your inking while the paper is on the drawing pad. I don’t know how well this is going to work out but you are welcome to do it as well. I hope this works for your and my sake cause that thing is really expensive.
This is late, but I also have an intuos draw and I’m planning to get this intuos pro medium regular edition, not with the paper feature. My intuos draw has started to show a few signs of wear after heavy use for almost a year, and the cord where it connects to the tablet is starting to rip. For the holiday season, I decided to upgrade, and I think the intuos pros are really good for what you get. Personally, I would suggest an intuos pro small or medium regular, as the whole paper thing costs an extra $50 and it’s just not worth it in my opinion. And the tablets with the built-in screens are super expensive, like in the thousands of dollars. The Wacom Intuos pro small, while it is an older version, is $199 compared to $299 for the medium version. I think the added tilt sensitivity and buttons are worth the extra cost to go from an intuos draw to an intuos pro. I went back to this video to see whether the paper edition would be worth it, and I honestly don’t really think so. Unless you are a traditional artist who really dislikes using a scanner to scan in traditional drawings, or just have a bunch of money to splurge on extra features, the paper edition kinda just seems like a gimmick. I don’t draw traditionally very often, so that’s just my opinion though. I decided to order an intuos medium, regular. I haven’t gotten my first look at it yet, so I will update with my experience with it when I do. Good luck if you’re deciding which tablet to get! 👍
kiwibirbz i reccomend display tablets cause you Can see where you are drawing with a pad tablet you don't Know where you are drawing but if your going for a budget get a Big pad tablet
I wouldn't think so as I don't think it recognises orientation like an IPAD, you could however draw as you like then once the image is imported to the computer you can simple change the orientation using Paint or PS.
I've been getting really serous about drawing and I want to step up in my hobby and I want to buy something that lets me do digital drawing (my budget it $200) what should i get
Thank you Jazza, I really wanted to know about this Wacom product and when I saw you had a review on it, it was like a Godsend! Very well reviewed! Great Work!
14:09 The word Wacom has manipulated and bullied Jazza into saying 'Wecommend' if said in the same sentence. Unless it's natural in which case I haven't noticed and I am sorry I do not wish to offend just trying to make a funny.
My first pen tablet was the Bamboo Pen & Touch Lg. Now I have an Intuos 5 Touch (Sm). The only thing that was weird in switching was the size difference. But no complaints cause it was a gift. Jog wheel rotating my work ..... amazing
Cool, thank you. Perfect for the eyes staring at the computer screen the whole time through...just replace it by a sheet of paper for a while again...indeed, this is relaxant as well!
