Product Information

Pen displays are significantly pricier and a little more fragile, but learning to use them is easier, and you don’t have to rely so much on configurable buttons and shortcuts to navigate your canvas. Some high-end pen displays come with built-in operating systems, meaning you don’t need to connect them to a PC or laptop; but this comes at a significant cost. It’s never been easier to express your creativity on your computer thanks to drawing tablets. With a tablet and a digital pen, you can paint or draw your next masterpiece directly into a digitally native platform. There are lots of great drawing tablets out there, from specialty devices for professionals and hobbyists to versatile devices for everyday life whose artistic uses are just part of the picture. Whether you’re just getting started or are a professional artist in need of a new device, these are the best drawing tablets. But other tablets need to connect to your computer to work. That’s true of all tablets without a screen, as you’ll use your monitor to see your designs.

Additionally, graphics tablets always require a device to connect to, as they're just controllers for graphics design software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.Depending on your tablet, battery life may be a major concern. While many dedicated drawing tablets plug directly into a PC for power, some are wireless and may need to be charged mid-project, especially if you also use it for taking notes, watching videos, and other things. One of the most important features of a drawing tablet is the stylus. It should feel light and comfortable in hand, as well as being responsive and sensitive. We test how each drawing tablet works with Windows and macOS, assessing its setup, compatibility, speed and stability to identify who it will work best for and why. Primarily we used Adobe Creative Cloud software, as it's the choice ecosystem of most professionals, but we also look to free and popular software like Kitra and GIMP to accommodate different budgets.

There are also amazing and affordable tablets with a screen out there. With this option, you’ll have less of a learning curve as you can see your drawings right in front of you. SizeThe Surface has a responsive and vibrant 2880 x 1920 panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision and Adaptive Color technology. In short, it displays good colour, detail and responsiveness – plus, the Surface Pro 8 is compatible with the highly responsive Surface Pen stylus (sold separately). However, since the basic configuration of the Surface Pro 8 is comparable to the iPad Pro 12.9 in price, it’s worth noting that it’s a long way from delivering the gorgeous, vibrant display that Apple offers. Once you get beyond 1000 LPI, it’s difficult to see any real impact on your drawings. The same goes for pressure sensitivity when you have more than 2,000 pressure levels. There’s no definitive answer to which kind of drawing tablet is better, since each artist will have different needs. So, it’s important to understand the difference between each tablet type. We'll then draw, write and experiment with the tablet to see how natural it feels, identify any glitches and make sure it would be suitable for use over long periods. How do I choose the best drawing tablet for me?

iPads: Apple’s iPad has become a popular option for those looking for portable drawing tablets. There are several apps available that turn the iPad into a fully-fledged drawing tablet, complete with a pressure-sensitive stylus. Since the iPad is portable, it's a great option for those who want to sketch on the go and a great alternative to Microsoft’s Surface tablets. Final Thoughts

Parallax and lag are the two issues that plague all graphic tablet. The gap between the display and digitizer creates a disconnect between the tip of the pen and what is shown on a display. This is further hampered by the user’s viewing angle creating a parallax effect. A good tablet should have little or no gap between the tip and screen to minimise You can be sure that any of the recommended tablets on this list is ideal for beginner artists. With great responsivity, sensitivity, and affordable prices, you’ll love your new tablet. Why it made the cut: There’s a ton of real estate on the XP-PEN Artist 24 Pro’s 2K Quad HD display, giving you room to dream big and draw bigger.
