Wacom Intuos Pro vs Intuos Pen and Touch 

Thank so much for this info. I'n an animator too and you really helped. Going for the Intuos pro medium. Thanks!

You're welcome! Hope the tablet serves you well!

damn bro, im kind of broke right now. all i can get right now is a P&T right now, can't even afford copics. Do you think i'll regret getting the P&T? im planning to do line work traditionally and then inking digitaly. Any tips/considerations for a begginer? i'd really like to get the pro but my country sucks and it expensive as fuck.

DubstepSon I used something similar to P&T (Capture) for most of my digital art experience. I really liked it, and had no problems, I don't think you will regret bying the P&T over Pro, as it got the job done. I think the best way to overcome any shortcomings that you may experience with the P&T is by being very familiar with your art platform. Personally, I like using Paint Tool SAI for digital inking, as it is very intuitive and easy to use, as well as free. Once again, the Pro would be the best and most quality choice for digital art, but it isn't a must have. You can essentially do the same things, and your art wont suffer.

ty man :).

DubstepSon What country are u from? Im from trinidad and tobago and its $4500.00 down here when it is shipped and delivered.

Sherry Ritchea If u use sketchbook pro the best to get is the Intuos pro Large model because of the generous work area higher level of pressure sensitivity and the astounding increase in resolution. But there is a drawback if u dont have a fast or decent pc the buttons touch ring and touch features will suffer heavily and so will the resolution.

+Camo NinjaBears it comes in small, medium and large

beCYD Prod. Sweet

Does the pen and touch has an eraser too?

I believe so, yes. www.wacom.com/en-sg/products/pen-tablets/intuos-pen-and-touch-small I made the mistake 2 years ago of buying a cheaper model model without an eraser which was difficult to get used to because my first tablet had an eraser. You get what you paid for, I guess.

LMaruchan Yeah I'm going to upgrade my old bamboo and I definitely want an eraser with it! I saw in other videos that It does has eraser, so it's all good.

Dae - On the Wacom estore on the comparison page it says only the grip pen from the intous pro haves a eraser maybe theres some model of the pen and touch which also have it but i dont believe so and would trust what the wacom page says.

***** I bought it already, it does include an eraser.

+fufufunii It depends, usually on your budget. Preferably, I would go for Intuos Medium because it's more 'comfotable' and gives you more space.

Probably small. Medium could be okay but large is just too big.

+Hamad Drawer It depends on how you like to do things. Are you used to a smaller or larger surface area when drawing/painting? Do your gestures tend to be smaller or bigger? I personally prefer the smaller size, I have problems with CPS and it's not as strenuous. I know you posted this 2 months ago, but maybe it helps?

They are the same. The only difference is the software that is included.

The surface of all Wacom tablets get worn out over time. The Pro feels a little different, but wears out just the same. Don't worry too much about it!

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! Thanks for the info.

Intuous P&T medium since you are a beginner

well i went for the intuos pro, im satisfied.

Awesome

Thrishter If you could lend me some advice, I'm using a bamboo currently and have been for a year, and I hate it. I hate the small delay it has, and the small area. Should I just jump up to the Intuos Pro Small? Thanks.

if u don't like it get rid of it. the intuos pro is absolutely wonderful tough. the surface area isn't the size of the whole center area tough so always keep that in mind (just in case you didn't know). if you do plan on upgrading i'd say save for a drawing display

If you're a professional, go for the Intuos 5/Pro!

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! okay thanks C:

Do what i reccomended to my friends and download childrens colouring pages put them in autodesk sketchbook and colour also utilize the zoom and rotate features alot! Also PRACTICE drawing circles ovals triangles and cubes freehand to build your hand-eye co-ordination.

Visit this link this is your best bet to make: www.amazon.com/Monoprice-19-Inch-Interactive-Display-110707/dp/B00IACES94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422107573&sr=8-1&keywords=monoprice+pen+monitor OR www.amazon.com/dp/B00LIUKRP4?psc=1 They ar both made by Shenzen HUION so they are the exact same!

***** Well good luck BTW Get it on a sale i saw them for 225 dollars on cybermonday

I have an Intuos Pen and Touch and this is my first tablet and it works great! It's kind of the same as any other beginner tablet, and the extra features are kind of useless to the new people that don't know what they're doing and just think they're gonna draw. If you want to use the touch feature for scrolling, zooming, or just for a trackpad, get the Pen and Touch. If you just want to draw, just get the Pen version. I hope this kinda helped!

Cool that's what I'm trying to do and here I should tell you that fin used to use a bamboo pen and touch which literally is intuos pen and touch but different size, design and name so go for the intuos p&t I'm using it and it works great

The Pro has double the pressure levels and resolution, pen tilt sensitivity, included wireless capability (no need to but anything else), all sorts of different nibs for different drawing experiences and much sturdier build quality.

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! Thank you for the answer. This leads me to another question: what should you use the non-pro version for mainly? The Pro costs twice the price and since I'm restarting drawing(used to be decent but never switched to the digital era, back then it costed a lot here in Italy) I'm a bit confused wether I should get a non-Pro M to start and see what I learn in 1-2 years(I work with Photoshop and Illustrator so I'm not new to that, just the digital drawing is new to me) or if I should invest in the Pro already because it just adds so much to the experience making it worth from start. Basically I can't distinguish the targets of the two product lines, also considering seeing the non-Pro was a surprise itself to me cause I thought the lowest line was the Bamboo...and now I can't understand well where this non-Pro intuos fits in Wacom line.

The Bamboo is now the Intuos. The former Intuos is now the Intuos Pro.

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! That clarifies everything, I don't get why they did it but still...thank you for the infos :)

+AndreCorner I know this question gonna sound hilarious, just want to know which one did you bought?? cause i'm in the same dilemma now. Got two days to figure out which to buy?. So best if you could tell me. Thanks a lot :)

+Beatriz Pérez Raterman for professional work i think, medium will work better bc you have more space than small but it's up to you if you'll be comfortable with it :)

Hi! I do 3d design and i can tell you this: intuos pro!

And the small intuos pro is doing just alright! I have 3 wacom tablets including intuos pro. If i use them for 3d design, my other tablets can't do things properly: like rotation, adjusting brush sizes, no extra buttons, can't zoom in and out, can't pan, etc. but intuos pro can do all of these things i mention

thank you fufufunii and vanezcha I'll go for pro then! :D

+Beatriz Pérez Raterman yw i forgot to mention that it also depends on your computer screen. But i'll tell you how big or small intuos pro is. Intuos pro S is as large as a macbook Pro 13", the drawing area is not as small as bamboo S. Intuos Pro M will then be much larger. I bought Intuos Pro mainly because of the extra buttons and i have both macbook pro 13" and an iMac 21", both are fine with my intuos pro S

if you're a beginner, i'd really recommend getting the cheapest one available (as long as it gets pressure sensitivity) from a low end brand, clinging to it as much as possible as you save money to buy an intuos pro. That's what i did anyway. If I got my current wacom without having used inferior ones before I wouldn't know how to appreciate wacom's finesse, or understand how tablets work that well.

additionally you could even start with a second hand one to begin with.

Thanks! This helped me alot!

what did you get and howd it go?

The one in the video in a medium.

compare to the intros pen and touch

as you said in the video, the pro is for people who already familiar with their job, but for me as a person who have been drawing on paper and try to upgrade to an the other level, which one do you recommend.

I don't have the Intuos Pen & Touch but I do have the Intuos Pro. I'd definitely recommend Pro for artists who work with concept/product/graphic design. Drawing with that tablet feels amazing. I'm a computer art major (want to focus on game design & animation) at my school and our labs have mainly pro tablets. What I gathered from this video is that Intuos Pen & Touch is better for photographers. Pro for people who know they will draw a lot. Hope this helps :)

Monica Huang just say it, I am just a 14 years old kid (I mean teen)

Monica Huang thank you

Hey. I have been using the Pen&Touch Small for almost 2 years now. I knew nothing about digital art or never had a tablet before. It works great for beginner. I'd recommend to buy you this version if you're still learning and don't want to spend too much money on it just yet. I'm currently thinking to get the pro one. Mainly because of the more buttons and I want to get the Medium size this time because the small one is just too small. Works fine if you only move your hand while drawing. I hope I could help.

+Gtasaryder So....it will be useful, even if I master graphic designing

+granmastersword If you have the money. Go for the pro version because that is future proof. You can use it for many years.

+Gtasaryder I see....but I'm more interested in the normal one, mainly because of the price. But I'm unsure if it will remain being useful once I have more experience cause I don't want to buy another tablet

+granmastersword Yes. It's going to be useful even after you learn more about it. I recommend you to buy the medium one but if that is too much the small one would be fine as well. Depends on your screen size. However a more expensive tablet won't make you a better artist. Just has extra features to it.

I'm having the same problem -.- Most people buy the cheaper one and says it's fine, but if you will be drawing and creating artworks I can't imagine going without the tilt-sensitivity.

Toyon95 In the time I've had an Intuos4 I haven't found the tilt functionality to be particularly useful. I played with it for a few minutes, said to myself, "Yep! It tilts!" and then never used it again. Now, keep in mind that this was in Photoshop, and in other programs tilt sensitivity might be useful as hell. But for my uses? Nah. So, don't feel pressured into buying the expensive stuff. Honestly, my favorite thing about the Intuos4 are all those buttons. Ohhhhh, those sexy buttons...

I was also attracted by the buttons XD So in the end I bought the intuos pro. Better precision too.

***** If you have ever used a normal plain intuos, is the texture better to draw? Smoother? Is there any really good things that intuos pro has while intuos doesn't? And does the buttons really matter? I'm literally attacking you with questions I'm sorry

Phili Chan I've not used the latest Intuos models, so I can't comment on the surface texture. I personally like a rough surface texture but am unwilling to spend $10 on replacement nibs every few months. A company called POSRUS makes a series of smooth surface covers that have alleviated my issue. As far as my favorite features go, again, I really like the extra buttons Wacom's high-end models come with. I'm one of those people that like to lean back in their chair and put the tablet on their lap. The extra buttons on my Intuos4 mean I'm not constantly leaning forward to use the keyboard and can draw in comfort. Are the extra buttons worth the extra cost? For me they are. If you're just starting out, however, I'd go for cheaper model. My previous tablet was a Graphire4 which was Wacom's low-end tablet back in the day. When it finally wore out I was so excited to have an excuse to upgrade. I was convinced that the Intuos4 with it's 2048 pressure levels would blow my old tablet away. I mean, the Graphire4 only has 512 pressure levels! The Intuos4 must be four times as good! Well, no, not really. Drawing felt practically the same. Tilt was just a novelty. Those buttons, though... Okay, I'm gushing about the buttons again. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it's best to spend less at first and learn what features are important to you. Once you know what you like, upgrade. All IMO, of course.

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! Thanks

I believe I mention that in the first few seconds of the video. I apologize if it wasn't clear.

CamCrunch - Photography Tutorials and More! No, it was very clear. She probably just wasn't paying attention... lol

leatherwings007 :b yea probably not. Thank you for the response CamCrunch!
