# Best Drawing Tablets for Beginners - What I Recommend
# https://www.youtube.com/watch/Dh49NwMt1yw

00:00:00.000 uh the Eternal question I'm new to this
00:00:02.220 with drawing tablet should I get when
00:00:03.959 I'm asked this question my answer is I'm
00:00:05.759 not really sure it kind of depends and
00:00:07.740 that's what this video is going to
00:00:09.179 answer hello my name is Brad I review
00:00:10.920 tech for Creative professionals and this
00:00:12.780 question does not have a one size
00:00:15.000 fits-all answer even though I've listed
00:00:17.640 these in order of where I usually start
00:00:19.859 and how I go down the list your answer
00:00:22.500 may vary based on what you want to draw
00:00:24.600 on what your budget is and those sort of
00:00:27.060 things and we're going to cover that so
00:00:28.859 if I'm just asked that question Point
00:00:30.599 Blank usually the thing I say is an iPad
00:00:33.540 I like drawing on an iPad I think it's a
00:00:35.640 great device and I think it's a really
00:00:37.200 good value but which iPad usually I
00:00:40.020 start by recommending the iPad Air at
00:00:43.340 599 it's not cheap but for what you're
00:00:47.219 getting it is a very good value one of
00:00:50.100 the things that I like to look at is is
00:00:51.960 this product going to last me a long
00:00:54.420 time and I feel like this one is it has
00:00:57.239 an M1 processor which means you're going
00:00:59.579 to get a lot of the benefits that come
00:01:02.039 with Apple's ecosystem for years to come
00:01:04.920 plenty of power this also has the newer
00:01:07.799 design so it uses the apple pencil 2
00:01:10.320 which charges along the side a huge
00:01:12.780 convenience that the cheaper iPads don't
00:01:15.240 have one of the main reasons that I do
00:01:17.100 recommend Apple first is because I feel
00:01:19.500 that their ecosystem of drawing apps is
00:01:22.320 really really strong for example I
00:01:25.020 really like Adobe Fresco I like
00:01:26.700 procreate I like a lot of the things
00:01:29.159 that are available there that aren't
00:01:30.780 necessarily available on other platforms
00:01:32.759 also many of those apps like the two I
00:01:35.159 mentioned specifically I find to be
00:01:37.079 extremely easy to use anybody can pick a
00:01:39.840 brush and choose the size and start
00:01:42.479 drawing there's not a lot that gets in
00:01:45.000 the way so if you've never used a
00:01:46.740 drawing app before it's really easy to
00:01:48.659 just open a canvas and go but then comes
00:01:51.119 the follow-up to that question which is
00:01:52.860 wow six hundred dollars plus the price
00:01:55.740 of an apple pencil which is another 129
00:01:58.460 adds a little bit steep could I get
00:02:01.799 something a little cheaper and the
00:02:03.479 answer to that is yeah actually you can
00:02:05.880 even though I would recommend the air
00:02:07.680 for most people because I think it's
00:02:09.419 just a better product with a better
00:02:11.160 pencil that's going to last you longer
00:02:13.200 if you are on a budget but you still
00:02:14.940 like the idea of an iPad the 9th gen
00:02:18.300 iPad which came out in the fall of 2021
00:02:21.180 is the next thing I would recommend now
00:02:24.239 that thing starts at 329 dollars you do
00:02:26.400 have to buy the apple pencil separately
00:02:27.959 which is another 100 so you're looking
00:02:29.580 at
00:02:30.379 429 dollars you get pretty much the same
00:02:33.120 benefits you get the app Eco system you
00:02:35.099 get the same great drawing experience
00:02:36.599 with the apple pencil but you get it at
00:02:38.760 a lower cost now the problem is is that
00:02:41.280 it is an older apple pencil so you do
00:02:43.560 have to charge it by plugging it into a
00:02:45.780 cord or plugging it into the bottom of
00:02:47.580 the iPad it's just a quality of life
00:02:49.319 thing that I really like about the apple
00:02:50.940 pencil too the screen isn't nearly as
00:02:53.220 good it's not laminated so you are going
00:02:55.680 to notice that there is a gap between
00:02:57.060 the glass and the screen below it and
00:02:59.160 it's using an a13 in bionic chip which
00:03:01.500 actually isn't too bad so this iPad is
00:03:03.599 going to last you a long time but it's
00:03:06.120 not going to last as long as that M1
00:03:08.280 chip will if you're digging the drawing
00:03:09.780 that I've been using here this is part
00:03:11.700 of my learn to draw and 60 days course
00:03:13.800 that just launched I don't think I've
00:03:15.239 even told you guys about it yet on this
00:03:16.980 channel I'm still working out some of
00:03:18.360 the Kinks but I do have an introductory
00:03:19.920 offer Down Below in the description
00:03:21.720 check out that link if you want to know
00:03:23.400 more details and get a good discount on
00:03:25.200 it while it's hot so oftentimes the next
00:03:27.300 thing that I hear after someone says
00:03:29.280 well I have an Android phone I'm not
00:03:31.260 really in the Apple ecosystem not really
00:03:33.239 a big fan of Apple what else is out
00:03:35.280 there well that's when I tell people go
00:03:37.620 Android if you have some money to spend
00:03:39.599 the number one thing that I would
00:03:40.860 recommend is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8
00:03:44.099 that is the latest version of Samsung's
00:03:46.739 Galaxy tablet lineup now the good news
00:03:48.780 here is even though that is going to run
00:03:50.280 you 650 dollars it comes with a pen
00:03:52.860 packed in so you don't have to pay extra
00:03:54.540 for it and unlike Apple products Samsung
00:03:56.819 products go on sale all the time so it's
00:03:58.980 not unusual to find this for for like a
00:04:01.140 hundred dollars less or more I would say
00:04:03.180 that the S8 is equivalent to the iPad
00:04:05.819 Air so you're getting a lot of the bells
00:04:07.560 and whistles you're getting a really
00:04:08.760 nice snapdragger processor you're
00:04:10.680 getting a really really nice screen
00:04:12.840 you're just getting this really amazing
00:04:15.599 tablet for a really good price what
00:04:17.820 about the drawing app ecosystem it's not
00:04:20.399 as robust as the iPads however there are
00:04:22.919 some standouts out there I always
00:04:24.720 recommend clip Studio there is a cost to
00:04:27.960 that there's an annual subscription that
00:04:30.120 that you have to pay to use that app so
00:04:31.919 I understand some people totally turns
00:04:34.740 them off the other one that is worth
00:04:36.600 checking out is krita I think krita is a
00:04:39.120 fantastic program it's it's uh it was
00:04:41.340 really buggy on Android but every time I
00:04:43.620 use it it gets better and better and
00:04:45.300 better now one of the downsides of
00:04:47.040 really both of those apps is that I
00:04:49.199 mentioned them a little bit earlier is
00:04:51.000 there's a lot of interface there if
00:04:52.560 you've never drawn digitally before they
00:04:54.600 could be a little bit intimidating so if
00:04:56.340 you're looking for something that's easy
00:04:57.479 to use Simple to understand similar to
00:04:59.400 what I talked about on the the iPad with
00:05:00.900 procreator Fresco something to take a
00:05:03.120 look at would be ibeds paint X so if you
00:05:06.000 love the idea of Android but don't have
00:05:07.620 that kind of budget definitely check out
00:05:09.180 the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2022 Edition make
00:05:12.780 sure it has the 2022 Edition on it
00:05:15.180 there's an older one with an older
00:05:16.800 processor you want the 2022 Edition in
00:05:19.199 other videos I have called this the best
00:05:20.880 bargain in drawing Tech oftentimes this
00:05:22.979 thing will go on sale you'll find it for
00:05:24.960 under 300 it comes with the pen packed
00:05:27.780 in you're getting this great Android
00:05:29.580 drawing experience it is just so good uh
00:05:33.360 for what you're getting the downside is
00:05:35.520 the screen's not as good as the S8 I
00:05:39.000 don't think it's going to last as long
00:05:40.139 it's going to get laggy after a few
00:05:41.580 years unlike the S8 those are some of
00:05:44.039 the things to consider but overall if
00:05:46.080 you're on a budget you want to go
00:05:47.160 Android the S8 or S6 light is a great
00:05:51.240 thing to check out okay so once I've
00:05:52.919 gone through those the next thing I
00:05:54.840 would recommend is like a huion product
00:05:57.300 like a really solid huion product I I
00:06:00.479 like those 16 inch screens that's a good
00:06:02.759 size for me if you're plugging this into
00:06:04.380 a Windows or Mac computer so I would
00:06:06.180 check out the huion canvas 16. this
00:06:08.820 thing does come in at 400 you can get
00:06:11.580 cheaper huians the reason I recommend
00:06:13.680 the 16 first is because I just really
00:06:15.419 like drawing on Windows in that 16 inch
00:06:18.120 and bigger category once you get bigger
00:06:20.639 to like the 21 inch 24 inch hueyons it
00:06:23.880 gets kind of expensive but if you're
00:06:25.860 just starting out I think 16 inches was
00:06:28.020 a really good place to look now one of
00:06:29.759 the great things is that the huion is
00:06:31.380 designed for artists these other tablets
00:06:33.240 that I've talked about up to this point
00:06:34.500 can definitely be used for artists A lot
00:06:36.300 of people use them for art however
00:06:38.160 they're not designed for art this one is
00:06:41.520 the pen feels really smooth there is a
00:06:43.860 matte screen on it so it's just it just
00:06:46.199 feels very natural you are using it on
00:06:49.440 windows so you're going to be using
00:06:51.000 programs like krita you're going to be
00:06:52.740 using programs like clip Studio
00:06:53.880 Photoshop that is one of the downsides
00:06:56.639 of Windows you can get Adobe Fresco
00:06:59.280 which is a very mobile like app but that
00:07:02.520 relies on touch gestures this is not a
00:07:04.919 touch screen so I think the learning
00:07:06.840 curve of the software on Windows is
00:07:09.120 going to be a little bit steeper than it
00:07:10.620 is on an Android or an iPad however if
00:07:12.780 you already have a Windows computer
00:07:13.919 adding something to it is a way to save
00:07:16.199 money now four hundred dollars what if
00:07:18.780 you do want something a little bit
00:07:20.340 cheaper I gotcha I would check out the
00:07:22.919 huion canvas 12 for 239 dollars
00:07:26.460 obviously this is considerably smaller
00:07:28.860 it is going to save you some money but
00:07:30.300 it's pretty much the same product you're
00:07:31.979 gonna get the same high quality pen
00:07:33.960 you're going to get the same kind of
00:07:35.639 screen here however what trade-offs are
00:07:38.520 you going to be making for that price
00:07:39.599 you're just making it in size now one of
00:07:42.240 the problems that happens if you boot up
00:07:43.979 krita you're going to see a lot of
00:07:46.440 interface elements that are going to be
00:07:47.819 hard to hit it's going to be harder to
00:07:49.800 maneuver around windows on a smaller
00:07:51.720 screen totally can be done this isn't a
00:07:54.120 touch screen or anything you're using
00:07:55.560 the pen but that is something to take
00:07:57.479 note of and why I think that 16 inch
00:07:59.460 size is really really that sweet spot on
00:08:01.380 Windows wow Brad all of these things are
00:08:03.599 expensive though they're hundreds of
00:08:05.099 dollars is this really the cheapest way
00:08:07.080 to get into art that's where this fourth
00:08:09.840 category my final category comes into
00:08:11.940 play I recommend the XP pen Deco MW now
00:08:16.440 this thing starts at 70 dollars so
00:08:18.300 you're getting under that hundred dollar
00:08:19.560 threshold and the reason you could do
00:08:21.539 that is because this doesn't have a
00:08:23.280 built-in screen connects to a Mac or a
00:08:25.680 Windows PC even a Linux PC and the
00:08:28.800 reason I recommend this one is because
00:08:30.539 it's also Wireless you can charge it on
00:08:33.120 up and you don't need any kind of cord
00:08:34.799 so you can kind of move it around your
00:08:36.360 desk set it on your lap you could draw
00:08:38.039 with it the caveat here is that if you
00:08:41.339 don't have a screen it takes some time
00:08:43.500 to get used to drawing something on the
00:08:45.839 screen in front of you while you're
00:08:47.220 moving your pen around down here there's
00:08:49.260 a disconnect there that you have to form
00:08:51.000 in your brain and that learning curve is
00:08:52.980 rather steep a lot of people who get
00:08:54.480 these kind of tablets often bounce off
00:08:56.040 of them I would say stick with it every
00:08:59.040 day practice for like 20 minutes half
00:09:01.440 hour hour just get used to using that
00:09:03.660 tablet that eye hand coordination is
00:09:05.339 going to come but the only way to do it
00:09:06.779 is just to keep at it and keep going
00:09:08.279 this is also a decent size it maps to
00:09:10.500 the screen well if you do want to save a
00:09:12.779 few bucks I would check out The Deco M
00:09:15.060 the one with the without the W basically
00:09:17.519 it's the same exact thing except it
00:09:19.380 doesn't have the wireless Bluetooth this
00:09:21.660 thing doesn't have a battery so it's
00:09:23.040 always going to have to be plugged into
00:09:24.240 your computer but other than that it's
00:09:26.220 going to do the same exact thing you
00:09:28.260 will find XP pen tablets in huion
00:09:29.880 tablets that cost less than this however
00:09:31.920 I've tested some of those out and it's
00:09:34.200 you're making some compromises the
00:09:36.060 drawing area might be too small or the
00:09:38.040 pen just isn't good enough I think this
00:09:40.260 is a good size at a good price and this
00:09:42.600 is what I would recommend and I want to
00:09:44.040 finish this by saying what is not on
00:09:46.620 this list well one of the first things
00:09:48.300 is Wacom and even though I love Wacom
00:09:50.700 products and I've used many of wacom's
00:09:52.680 products and said very nice things about
00:09:54.060 them what it comes down to to me is
00:09:56.580 price if you're just starting out
00:09:58.980 walking is like the premium brand that
00:10:01.800 does really really good stuff but they
00:10:03.959 do it at a really high price if you're
00:10:05.940 not sure how committed you're going to
00:10:07.680 be to this hobby spending that much
00:10:09.420 money up front probably isn't worth it
00:10:11.940 it's the type of thing where once you
00:10:14.040 see those bells and those whistles that
00:10:15.959 are on some of those high-end Wacom
00:10:17.519 tablets as a beginner you're not going
00:10:19.740 to notice that they're gone but as you
00:10:21.600 get more and more and more into art
00:10:23.580 you're going to look at those features
00:10:24.720 and go I really need that or boy would
00:10:27.540 my workflow improve if I had that then
00:10:30.060 you're gonna be then that's going to
00:10:31.680 justify the cost of one of those tablets
00:10:33.899 the other thing not on this list are
00:10:35.700 Chromebooks and and the main reason why
00:10:37.740 is many of these drawing tablets work
00:10:39.420 with Chromebooks many of the drawing
00:10:41.760 apps available for Android work on
00:10:44.160 Chromebooks but from what I've found the
00:10:47.279 experience isn't quite there it works I
00:10:50.040 think you could even use you know some
00:10:51.720 of those XP pen tablets there if if
00:10:53.820 you're in a pinch but my experience is
00:10:56.339 that it's just there's a disconnect
00:10:57.839 there's lag many those Android apps rely
00:11:01.260 on touch those Chromebooks don't have
00:11:03.420 that it's just a bad user experience you
00:11:06.060 can do it but I wouldn't recommend it
00:11:08.040 yeah so that's what I usually recommend
00:11:09.959 definitely check out my new course it's
00:11:12.240 designed to give you like a little five
00:11:14.399 ten minute video Lesson every day give
00:11:16.740 you a little project to complete so you
00:11:18.600 can spend 15 20 minutes a half hour
00:11:20.279 every single day drawing getting better
00:11:22.320 learning some skills while you do it for
00:11:24.300 60 whole days link Down Below in the
00:11:26.459 description and I'll talk to you guys in
00:11:28.860 a couple of days
