![Best Drawing Tablets 2024 [don’t buy one before watching this]](/img/n.gif)
thank you for being the only review that explains the wires, AND for showing them. all the reviews i've seen just say all the names of the wires and i don't know which is which :,)
Just got mine today. Ain't no way I'd have been able to set it up without those wonderfully clear and detailed instructions. Thanks so much. Haha
SAME :D
For $250 its totally worth it. i havent experienced lag and it is soooo much cheaper than other tablets that have less features than this one. the pen feels comfortable and comes with extra nibs. if youre interested in getting a screen tablet, this definitely the best one to get if youre on a budget or just starting out
I got mine for $150 cause it was on sale >:D
Dous it work without a pc ?
@@Ceoofedging you need a pc or a laptop I use it with a laptop
Was the display comfortable?
@@Ceoofedgingno
thank you
I just got one for Christmas
but I dont know how to use it lol
Wolfy so did I but we ordered it so it’s coming tomorrow
Sameeee
Lol same
same! anyone having problems with the pen pressure? its not working for me lol
I got one too for Christmas!
I've watched 14 vids about this tablet
oof
Fareed Izuagie you should really get it!! Its like a mini EXPERT PROFESSIONAL grade tablet!!
Same
Me too I want it
samsunguser215 same!
Did u watch elright2’s?
had no idea about the display scaling to 100%, mine was at 125 and i had no clue i just thought i had a terrible hand eye accuracy 😅 you’re a life saver for that thank you
Watched multiple videos on how to set up an XP-Pen and this is the only one that helped me. I'm glad you went in full on with the details with this one
Ive been off and on drawing for years now. Every time I wanna get back into it I need a refresher for how to set up these things (getting new computers and such makes software and hardware hard to keep track of). This video has been my favorite callback for these resets of mine. Thank you so much for helping me every time I need it.
Glad the setup tutorial is still useful!
So I just got the XP pen 12 and found an interesting hack around the eraser.
If you are worried about the eraser wearing into the screen surface there is a bit of a work around.
Put your finger under the eraser and push the eraser in, then with the eraser still pushed in use the tip of the finger that is pushing in the eraser as your new eraser tip. It seems to still be close enough to the screen to send the signal to erase but your finger won't wear out the screen at all.
A bit complicated for an eraser function but after doing this for a little bit it became second nature for me so I figured I'd put it here for anyone else.
Nice review! Tablet looks good
Wonderful review. I was stuck on how to multi-task the scroll bar and this finally answered my questions. Thanks.
I just got the Artist 12 Pro as my first try with tablets and digital painting and I am glad I bought it over others I have compared.
This is a really good review! Thank you for making such videos!
This is the most helpful and straightforward review I have seen on this tablet! Thank you so much. I am planning on purchasing it very soon but I saw some reviews on it saying that the color fades quickly or that its in an all green tone and I was wondering since you have made this video two years ago did you notice any of those issues with it? With the way people put it it kind of sounded like user error to me but I just was curious.
Just bought this. I am so excited for it tomorrow, I haven't had a new tablet in 12 years. Plus this will be my first XPen Tablet.
Decided to set it up by myself with no instructions and got mad when it didn’t work so thanks for this video because it helped me so much
awessome this helped me a lot when setting up the artist 12. Thank you sooooooo much (:
mine just arrived in the mail and im setting it up and i was so confused even with the manual XD ty for this vid
Very professional,practical and fun review ! Told in a charming voice..What more does one want ..?!
Hi, I loved your video.
Nice review and very detailed explanation about the connection and installation for the Artist 12 monitor. I got mine yesterday and I am planning to get it ready today (it's the first monitor I ever have, so I am relly excited for using it).
¡Saludos!
Wow that's really pretty like I love watching these videos because you learn new things and see new art
Edit: 4th I guess
my computer doesn’t recognize my tablet as a second monitor...
Same here pls help
Me two
if you are using an extender make sure the driver on the extender is up to date..restart pc and should be good to go
make sure the hdmi port you are trying to use is not disabled or get a display port adapter
@@amerillatta4848 I got the same problem here, not sure what you mean. I'm kinda stupid when it comes to computer stuff.
I love how it works with krita as well, even the eraser! thank you for the tutorial video!
Thanks for the guide! Just recently got this and am eager to test it.
I've got this tablet, and even by adjusting the settings for the display, my pen still doesnt match on sai. Is there any way to fix this?
after hours of trying to properly set this thing up, I discover that none of my express keys nor scroll bar work.....sick
i feel bad
tuff
THANK YOU SO MUCH
my tablet has been working with my laptop but then stop displaying the screen. I searched how to fix it and this came up. I never really was a computer person so 'm not used to all of these different cords but this video helped SO MUCH. thank you!
Ahhh! Thank you TTVTT I couldn't get it on for a week! You really helped me!!
"No oily screen" (whispers) it’s gonna be with my sweaty hands,moist palms!!! Ok maybe I’m over exaggerating
thats what the drawing glove is for :O it keeps the oils thats on your hands off the screen as you draw
Malus Rising oh yeah I forgot it comes with that 🤦🏽♀️ thank you
it gives u a glove
Phantazia lol it comes wit a glove
Why is that me lol...That's Why I always have a paper towel and hand sanitizer with me😂
Thos really helped me set up my artist 12 and im doing my first drawing on it. I cried when i got her and im so thankful thanks for doing this review
is it worth it
@@sin-qw1uh very
I just ordered one!! Thanks for the review!!!
Thank you this was very helpful. With this being my first drawing tablet I had no idea what I was doing so thank you :)
is it worth it
Thanks for helping me choose a tablet
As of now is the tablet still working fine since your reviews, any changes since then?
Thanks, asking since I am planning to purchase one. Very interested and looks like a good size for my space availability.
can't afford a cintiq, but even this at $245 is still money I can't afford to waist is the product is no good.
it’s really great so far, thank you for this tutorial.
I just got one today and this video was extremely helpful!
holiday edition now comes with a protective case :D
Heh yes I got it
2:36
wait
is that dont starve on your desktop?
i love dont starve
Bruv we do that everyday
thank you so much, i got this tablet a month ago and didn't know so many things like resizing the display to 100% and that you don't need the red cable in
This was a great review. You’re awesome!
I wang a new tablet (cause i don t havd one) but i m cheap so i m just gonna keep using my finger and my phone :D
If you use a pen for screens, you can actually get pretty proffessional results for a phone. Also you can try apps like ibis paint it's pretty cool
@@cehociuch5633 yeah but i manely use medibangpaint and adjust it a lil on computer sometimes
Whatever works best for you.
help me m8
@@kytekitty lol ok
even tho u already know what i said in discord
I actually forgot to plug the black usb into the computer, whoops
Thankyou so much for this in-depth plug-in video. I thought my tablet was broken, but i was just doing it wrong
hey, my configuration settings won't save and it's a hassle having to reconfigure it every time I want to draw. Is there a way to fix this?
My Computer doesnt even have half of the Inputs :/
What am i suposed to do now?
I need some suggestions just got this today installed drivers hooked it up it shows xp en but then after it shows no signal I'm lost I really just want to try this product.
Connect the adaptor to your laptop
Hello! Did you ever figure out the problem? I’m having a similar issue :(
I love the fact they gave charger outlet for different countries because I live in Canada but when I visit my home country I can use the other ones. I don't know why but It just makes me feel really welcomed.
thanks so much! i didnt know what i was doing until i watched this vid so thanks!
I need help no matter what I do all my tablet does is show the desktop I’ve been following crowned princes instructions exactly and it dosent work
Question! When I turn on the taple, my mouse per some reason disconnects when I use the pen, it's an artist 13.3 ¿Why does this happen?
and yeah I have the latest version of the artist 13.3 downloaded, it's a windows 7, I don't know if I have to make a configuration.
Same here! I just lost my touchpad and i don't know whyy!
Just got mine yesterday, haven't been able to draw with it yet but I hope I enjoy it! thank you for the review
Is it working fine?
@@danielaacevedo1150 yes, the port where the cable connects from the tablet to the computer is loose and loses connection but overall it's a fine tablet
@@danielaacevedo1150 same, I got mine yesterday (for my birthday :D) and it won't work. my computer doesn't have an HDMI port, and my tablet didn't come with a white cable
Thanks so much for this it really helped me set up mine
What if it just says "No signal" "Power saving"
Just Fixed That Myself. After Re-watching what she did, basically:
Plug in the tablet's side plug
Hdmi had to go into a specific hdmi space for my computer
The 3-way connected Black usb goes anywhere in computer
Red usb goes into given extended cord. Basically red usb into longer black usb, which goes into the power outlet for ur wall.
Then I was good to go.
@@624zoey1 side plug?
@@mitski3088 Yeah, The Tetris-Like Plug For The Left Side Of The Tablet. You Can Either Plug It In So It Kinda Covers The Power Button Or Flip It.
@@624zoey1 what if i did all that, but it still says power saving thing, but also when i grab the pen it follows on my computer screen but my tablet has a black screen.
i basically cant see anything
@@planea8727 Then Even I'm At A Loss. :/ I Found My Solution By Switching All Sorts Of Cords Around At Random, So I Can't Really Say.
I am left handed and whenever i turn the tablet on, it keeps going to right hand mode and I keep having to rotate it 180 degrees. Is there a way to stop it from resetting? It has saved my other tablet settings so I don't know why that particular setting keeps changing.
I didn't test this. Any other left handed artists reading this with the same rotation reset problem?
Us lefties are being oppressed
Don´t know if it's still relevant one year later, but for me it works just adding the 180 degree turn in the windows settings. Since it shows up as your 2nd monitor you can go into the Display settings and set the 2nd monitor to be rotated permanently!
I ordered one, and I found myself lucky to have found a video to help me what to do, 😀😂
I just got mine today. It's so awesome!
When I do what you say regarding to extend these displays the tablet only has my desktop background, none of anything on the desktop??? Any help here?
u r probably dragging the program "down", try dragging it on the right side, it should appear on the tablet screen
Aylien It did not appear on my tablet screen :( I don‘t know, maybe I did something wrong, from where can I drag it to the display and how?
I would be really happy if someone would help me, I‘m really desperate right know😅
@@chiuyu5004 I( have the same problem. Only 1 screen (win 7)
If you want to show your whole desktop on the tablet you go to display settings, scroll down to see “Multiple displays”, and if it’s on “Extend these displays” change it to “Duplicate these displays”. I hope it works for you!!!
I'm so annoyed with this tablet because I have to keep re setting it up
Sorry this is late but did you find a fix to it or just get a new one?
I appreciate you for this video. Thank you 😊 I found it very helpful.
Oh gosh! Thank you! You are a lifesaver! I had been having trouble connecting this since yesterday! You are awesome!
I have a question, does it show you a different xp-pen cite?
Could you please do a review on the huion kamvas 12 pro
Thx I literally didn't know how to connect it
appreciate it. helped out a bunch
Hey so when I did this it wasn't working properly and the tablet was acting like the computer and the computer was like the thing you drew on but that doesnt work and now I'm so confused
Do u know what's happening?
I’m drawing on the same tablet right now and watching Netflix at the same time, how do I get my mouse back onto the monitor and not the tablet ;-;
Im having the same problem
@@sneakyystudios8836 I found the solution! Not sure if it works for you, I just have to move my mouse all the way to the left side! Try it :)
Thx a lot man
@@sneakyystudios8836 Your welcome!
I've been trying to connect mine for a day and it's not working I think I might of got a broken one cause I didn't get it off the actual site and it didn't come with that weird white wire aswell-
Mine didn’t come with the white cable either, did you ever contact them? What did they say
Just buy a separate hdmi wire.
Thank you for the video!!
About this point 6:46 are all the xp pen 12 and 15,6 and 22 designed to be handheld and not blugged into a computer?
Extremely helpful video. 👏👍
I just got the this tablet as Mac user and the screen calibrating isn’t working for me any tips?
Same I dont know what to do
Mine didn't even come with that "white wire". So it's useless.
same :( need to buy one
Me too lol but I already have one so yeah
Same ☹️
Me too I don't have the white cord
Glad i saw this comment cause i dont either
Super helpful, thanks!
Thank you! This helped a lot.
Someone pls help this is my first drawing tablet and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. When I’m in my art program it won’t show up on my tablet only on my computer. My tablet stays on my desktop screen the whole time and I don’t understand why 😭
CallMeSwiper did you drag the top of the drawing program to your tablet screen?
Me too
Same
@@MintyToq How do you do that? I know this is kinda old but still
Since this comment is a year old, this isn't really a solution for the original commenter, but instead for those who might have the same problem and stumble across this: do not use the extend display option, and instead try the duplicate display option. This worked for me and hopefully it works for you!
Where does the white cable plug into if you don’t have a spare HDMI port
I don’t have a spare hdmi slot to plug it into so I what I want to know is where the (white)adapter plugs into (I have the white adapter
Thanks SO much im getting onw for my birthday and im so excited but idk how to set up thankssss 🎉
This is a really good video, thank you!
AAAHHHH I have the 13.3 for a year now i just took it out to use it again and turn our i had it set to 125% not 100% thank you so much
2:42
I dont see display settings for mines when I right click it ;-; please answer if you can help me out 😭
I'm not sure if this gonna help but try to update your windows.
Press your windows key. Go to settings. See the first tab? It should say display, click that and go to your tablet monitor. And do what she says
Epic! I might actually buy it!
think Im gonna get it for my birthday! it looks awesome
Me:When are they going to post
Phone:*Notification* Now
OMG THANL YOU SO MUCH MY TABLET WORKED THEN STOPPED your more useful then the people themselves but the pen wont work
Omg thanks a lot you just saved me with all the cable chaos!
Your video help me so many times. Thank you and I love you
You see this is the channel that you can always trust when you don't know what the hell to do with your tablet XD
I just got one for Christmas and thank you for the tutorial but how do you download the Free Animating system?
if you mean software firealpaca works i guess
Did you got Adobe ilustrator and photoshop directly or you had to buy it. Pls Answer🙏
@@stefanpodoleanu4036 Most likely you'll have to buy it or use free alternatives. I'm not sure if the XP Pen comes with its own programs as I haven't gotten mine yet.
If you want Photoshop CC (2020), David Cre8 made a video with a link to a free copy of it in the decription of his vid. It worked for me, but I'm not sure if the recent version of it is compatible with the tablet
did i do something wrong? when i go into sketch, the drawing app, it shows up on the computer screen. (help me!!)
hey I can't find the tablet icon in the system tray to calibrate it how do I find it? did I miss a step?
I get it as a Present☺🤞besides, today is Christmas 👍
Did you got Adobe Ilustrator and Photoshop directly or you had to buy it. I want to buy it too but i don't want do spend money on Adobe. Pls Answer🙏
Mine didn’t work when installing the drivers
My dad is using this video rn to help me set up, so thank you!
I actually got the Pro version of this awhile back and it came with a little thing to hold my Tablet, as well as a thing to put my pen in when I'm not using it.
ok so my tablet isnt showing the apps I'm opening, how do I make it show what's showing on my laptop??
Same here! I don't understand at all!
Same helpp
same
I need this
Great review. I had problems keeping the thing connected with the power cable into the tablet.
I just got the Artist 12 tablet and im trying to figure out how to set the touchbar to the brush resize and zoom settings, I see that you've got it on yours. How did you set it up or what shortcut keys did you assign it too? Great review by the way!
hi so I did everything you instructed and my tablet turns on, but for some reason, i cant open any kind of window or program on it, i just see my desktop without any of its icons.
I’m having the same problem!
I guess this is a common problem. Looks like we're the unlucky ones with defective tablets. Mine worked for 2 days then pulled this shit. Waste of $178
If you want to show your whole desktop on the tablet you go to display settings, scroll down to see “Multiple displays”, and if it’s on “Extend these displays” change it to “Duplicate these displays”. This SHOULD be able to show all your icons and everything
I got my XP-Pen Artist 12 with gloves and a tablet bag. No stand, but I am creative enough to make it work.
Also in the handbook they explain how to make the pen work for SAI, maybe now you can use the eraser in SAI.
Thank you for the video now I got mine to work
This is so helpful! Tysm!!!!
