Hi Dillon, Everyone wants something slightly different. I talk to a lot of artists who think 22" is too big. Personally I wouldn't go smaller than my 32" now but to each their own! As far as I'm concerned, the more tablets the better!
@@urban_gabor No wacom, display-tablet or pen-display has real risk of scratching if you use it carefully. The cases I've known were of people not treating the wacom well for drawing, putting WAY more pressure than needed. If u draw over it as if it were glass or porcelain, you draw with the friction of a feather, I tell u, my wacom intuos 4 , the one suspected to be more able to be scratched... 11 years of HEAVY daily use, and not a single scratch. Produced entire video games, ALL graphic content of full board games, book covers, tons, and tons of art with this, 10 hours a day average.... The surface of these display tablets (like the One's) is actually sturdier than my Intuos'. Any tablet you buy, treat it carefully and you will be totally fine. Be sure to set the pressure sensitivity in the Wacom's panel for all apps (and the "for all applications" option) at maximum sensitivity, tho. So, you'll get used to that even the slightest touch will produce ink or digital paint. And so, non consciously, but you'll put really soft pressure while you paint. Is a good habit.
Hi @@urban_gabor, I've never used a screen protector and it's never been an issue. The only time I'd recommended them is on something like the iPad where you've got to get rid of the gloss screes and replace it with a good matte texture.
Do you connect the mini keyboard via Bluetooth to the Wacom One and is there a tutorial on setting it up for hot keys. Sorry very new to this and just purchased the Wacom One. Thanks!
I was saying wacom was gonna have to change with all the really nice tablets from chinese companies....no one I know in the market for a tablet were even considering wacom anymore with their sky high prices. I'm glad they realized this and made a change.
For all the beginners who want to work in studios as a concept artist, storyboard/animatic artist, animator, sculptor/modeler, texturing artist, etc and have this "disconnect" problem. Let me tell you this. DON'T BULLSHIT YOURSELVES. This is neither a physical or a mental problem. Do you look at your steering wheel when you drive a car? A week of practice and your all set. You're not always gonna end up in companies that have pen displays for freshers and mid-level artists. It's incredibly easy to switch from graphic tabs to pen displays but not the other way around.
Very true James! I didn't touch a monitor tablet for the first 15 yrs of having a tablet. It's not a real thing. I look at it like a rich-kid problem. lol.
I will totally get this. It is such a versatile device with the support for android, you just literally can turn your phone into a tablet. Wacom did a great job. I would love to see a touchscreen version and maybe the pro models also getting support for android. Such a sexy device.
Just got the Wacom One, it's amazing.. it has more touch sensitive than the others and the screen is very nice. The pen doesn't need batteries so that's great. If you're trying to connect it to an android device here's how. First make sure your phone can be connected to it. get a converter and put in both of the cords into it, after that put the converters cord into your phone. Hope that makes sense!
Lov-love-love your digital art! Great Wacom One review, the best! You speak slowly enough to help us follow you and your opinions are just great and honest. Thanks!
You're producing some excellent work on this tablet! I like it when reviews actually show the artist at work. Helps with making a decision on wether to get it or not.
Thanks Micah. I love the support :D I hate when reviews are done by non-artists unfortunately the companies don't care. They are only interested in numbers and that is why peeps like Unbox Therapy get paid HUGE amounts to review anything and everything while I do this for nothing!
Hope you enjoy it! Make sure you clean the packaging from top to bottom when it arrives. Same goes for anything you've ordered!! Stay safe, stay subscribed Pierre :D
Thanks Sara - I just want to test every tablet and see how well I can actually draw on them. Some are great but some feel like they have real limitations. Such a shame. This is a nice tablet despite the lack of features.
72% NTSC is about fine even for some pros. Is about 98% sRGB coverage. That's A LOT, for painting. And indeed, several POD print companies do even require your work to be in sRGB, as they convert quite well to CMYK in the RIP (often better than in a freelancer's home computer and software). Anyway, CMYK is a smaller range than sRGB. Yep, some intense greens, neons lights, etc (that, again, non printable, and out of the CMYk spectrum, any profile), can be a bit of an issue, and the color is not as rich as in a 100% Adobe RGB monitor, where those colors can be displayed, but those are a tad more expensive. I'd say, unless one is doing very color critic stuff (ie, a photo lab, or high end illustration; my monitor covers a wider range), you're fine with an sRGB compliant monitor. Specially for students or even young manga artists. Also, sRGB means full compatibility across any range of devices, iPhones and iPads, even the Pro one, till the versions introducing P3 color profile, were all sRGB compliant, as much (not even fully!). And some of those were used even to win short film and photography contests. The entire Cintiq (non pro) line is ~ 72% NTSC, too. And well, I believe the XP-Pen (BTW, 22E, 22 inches at 364 $ at amazon... my gosh) is 88% NTSC, the 22R I believe even more. BUT... this ONE is *way* more portable. You could throw the One into your bag, with the cables and just a phone or small tablet. Fits perfectly in a side or back bag (to draw in starbucks, college, the library, etc). While you can't do that with a 22 heavy and chunky screen whatever the brand. As a pro, I'd go with an XP-Pen 22 all the way, but it's in no way portable, and you'd need a full computer with it. So, the attractive part of this model lays in two factors : a) It's freaking Wacom, the product quality and durability is more than ensured (I should know, I have a bunch of wacoms...) b) It works better in its Android connection than the XP's solution for that, if we have to believe you ;D , and definitely than Huion's, according to your experience (I believe it). So, it's a win-win for portability. You get sth almost as portable as an iPad, but which you can ALSO connect to your home full desktop or Mac (without dealing with wifi issues of astropad or whatever, or heck, needing a mac for that), having in this sense more versatility than an autonomous (ie, an ipad) tablet (which is also limited in CPU, RAM, memory for a bit more serious work). I understand that you're going with Wacom for your son. U need the thing to be sturdy and durable, also, kind of in terms of safety, I trust A TAD more Wacom (the number of safety labs certifications passed is crazy, not the case of competitors, checked all that) than in any alternative (electromagnetic stuff, materials toxicity, etc). But I wouldn't leave him handle it unsupervised, if is very young, as kids do crazy things and can't get out alone from situations, later... After all, involves actual electric cables (shock risk).
My kid doesn't let anyone leave him alone. He wants constant praise and attention. He must get it from his mother (Hi dear, I know you read the comments xxx). I gave him my old iPad when I gave up Apple a few years ago and he's been great with that. He's a techie kid and never broken anything. I'm pretty sure I can trust him now. I knew you'd get all of this with the colour values. I thought it funny that they only put the NTSC values on the specs and not the sRGB. I didn't know if I should say 98 or 99% so I left that off as I couldn't pin it down. Not that it matters. 98 or 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference. lol. Most screens now are fine. Ellie said that Lisa from mobileTechReviews said the screen was a bit dim but I don't see that at all - even at 75% brightness this is great. Having seen the new Kamvas 13 I'm eager to see that and maybe do a comparison between the two!
I'd really like to see how an experienced digital artist uses that remote in conjuction with the Wacom One. As a beginner I can't see the value of the pricey remote. A demo of how that is integrated into your workflow would be beneficial and appreciated. Thanks.
If you are a beginner then I would focus on the user interface rather than shortcuts. Get to really know the applications you are using. A remote is great once you have trained up a bit but you don't need it and it won't help you become a better artist. I would put that money towards upgrading your tablet instead.
I've been using an Intuos forever, but it got scratched over the years. I always wanted to draw on a screen and I bought the Wacome One yesterday. I had tried a similar product from XP pen, but returned it the same day. The Wacom however I plugged in and went to play. And wow, it is a different world drawing on the screen and having the Wacom feel. On the XP pen I could feel the parallax and the reaction seemed delayed. The Wacom feels like a Wacom and I am glad they chose to make a display tablet that is portable and kinda affordable. Their high end stuff is mind-blowing, but not everyone has a studio or a free table to set up these massive screens and stands. I love the portability and the built-in stand!
Glad to hear your thoughts on the subject. Especially given a lot of the views from the XP-Pen/Huion camp. I don't dismiss those tablets but a lot of those arguments do come from users who have not tried Wacom technology and I do think are bias against Wacom for certain reasons. Mainly price and brand favoritism. The fact that you have now tried this tablet helps. Which XP-Pen & Intuos tablet did you last have?
Thanks for that, Lawrence. I'm researching tablets at the moment as I consider going from traditional hard-copy illustration to digital - a great amount of info!
Yes, Windows 10, Mac OS and Android. The app I'm using here on Windows to draw the robot is Sketchable. You can grab that from the Windows app store. It's pretty affordable and I have a whole playlist & more of videos about it ;) Hope that helps! Stay subscribed and spread the word!!
Two questions: 1) how's the left-handed experience of this? Do you have to set it as left handed like in the Intuos? Some tablets are great for right handed people but horrible for left handed, did you notice any difference? 2)I noticed quite a bit of lag on some strokes. How annoying does that get on a normal workflow? I have a galaxy note and I rarely use it for drawing because most free software displays lag. Thank you!
1). Wacom have a long history of left handed UX & UI so I never worry about their tablets on that front. It was perfect. 2). There was no lag. Remember that I have to screen record as well as film on several devices. I use a large film template as my base so I am actually pushing the tablet when testing it unlike a lot of other reviewers. I don't just let it skate along on the minimum and say how well it did after only 5 minutes of reviewing it. haha. I tested it fully for a month. If there would have been lag then I'd of mentioned it and/or shown it. Sidebar). I use AutoDesk SketchBook on my Note 8 and DU Recorder to screen capture. Very rare that I get lag. You can see for yourself in my extensive playlist ;) Happy New Year. Lawrence.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW You mentioned in your video about USB host power and how that would help portability. Another review I saw said he plugged it into a battery pack and it worked just fine.
Awesome review. BUT, for enthusiast and just a person with a hobby to draw, would you recommend this, or intuos pro? I'm asking this, because price is the same, and intuos pro large has even higher price than ONE.
I LOVE the art you did. AMAZING!! Hope to see soon a video of the new Huion Kamvas 13 and see which one is the best option to me. It REALLY looks so great this new Wacom One ^^
thanks this Video was super helpful! Im drawing manga and illustriousion . I don't know if I should go for quality but expensive Wacom One Display 13 or the cheaper XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro. So what would be your suggestion for me?
Well if you think about it. If you are a beginner, the alternative tablets are much better in term of EVERYTHING. Take The latest Huion tablet for example, Kamvas pro 16. Full-laminated screen, 8192 Pressure Levels, 120% sRGB, 15.6 inch display, for $469. Wacom One is too expensive. You're only getting a brand name with a build quality. My opinion is: If you're a beginner, Huion is the way to go. Good specification for a little amount of money. The tablet will last, and if you think it's time to upgrade to a pro tablet, Wacom is the way to go.
This is pretty sweet. I would love to have fun with this and my Note 9. However, my Gen 1 cintiq companion is surprisingly still going strong! Haha 😂 Love your reviews and this channel! Cheers!
While I think plugging a tablet into your phone is fun, I'd rather attach it to a real computer and use real applications. Enjoy your old Cintiq for the moment and Tweet me some pics of your set-up @LAWRENCEcanDRAW
Would this be a good choice for calligraphy and handwriting design ideas? Does the Wacom com with software installed? Can you export in .TIFF or .JPG format? Thank you so much.
If you're doing calligraphy then you'd want a slightly bigger screen so you can do those longer free strokes that come more from the wrist. I's suggest a 16" or above tablet. Also, tablets like this are really just 'fancy' monitors - you still need to plug them into a PC/Mac to use them. They will work with whatever software you have on your computer. Hope that helps!
That's exactly why I do the draw test. So you can see that ;) I found it comfortable enough to use a pro artist. I do prefer larger tablets. Check out the Cintiq 16 video that I just released.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW No problem Lawrence I see ;) I'm just looking for a 2 in 1 on which i can draw portraits for example. I watched your video how nice you draw on a Surfacebook 2 and that will be enough for me! So i would definitely go for a 2 in 1 not a wacom becouse i don't even have a PC. I hope you could handle this drawings on a yoga c940 so "easy" too. Becouse i would prefer the yoga instead of a surfacebook. Do you have an idea about it? I couldn't find informations about drawing on a yoga c940.
Nice review did consider the new Huion 13 vs the wacom one for your son? I'm trying to decide between this or the huion for myself. Does the 4k pressure matter compared to 8k? I currently have a intuos 2012 I hate the glassy feel. I got it free yrs ago.
The Huion 13 hadn't been announced when I made this video. It is quite nice. I'm gonna see what I can do about reviewing that soon. 4k vs 8k. You may notice the difference if you are an experienced tablet user but most will not. It's subtle and really beneficial for digital painting more than manga artists - depends what you're looking for.
There is a gap between pen and tablet when you draw. It doesn't draw immediately. Ipad doesn't have that. Yet it's too expensive. Do you think I can fix this issue when I get this tablet?
It is a beginner / budget tablet as far as Wacom tablets are concerned. The XP-Pen or Huion brand might serve you better. The iPad still has that 'gap' which we call parallax - their screens are made of a slightly thinner plastic that feels more flexible and you may consider a compromise. Unless you spend some real money on a quality device you can't expect to get the higher specs & more features but you only need them if you are a more professional artist and you can easily put more money towards that it you are claiming towards it as a business expenses as a professional. I do think this is a good think this is a good tablet for those just starting out. I do think there are many other great alternatives for those just starting out but as a Wacom it is still pretty good!
Yeah, I'd certainly use it for that. The screen is great quality and certainly bright enough for streaming on. If you plug it in to an external powerbank then you can even take it mobile too!
Nice review! Would you advice getting one as a semi pro artist? I have used an Intuos Pro Medium for 6 years and I love it, but for very precise linework/inking type of operations its a struggle. Being a third worlder Cintiq is way out of my price range, with our crazy taxes I can get one of these for 450 USD. Better wait for a model with touch screen and a bigger image or go for it? (Mainly a Blender user, but have drawn all my life and like 2D digital art too)
This to me is certainly for beginners. I would suggest something like the Cintiq 22 or even an Intuos Large if you want to save money and are happy with a non screen tablet (many pro's use them). It is all about the best pen tech possible!!
Thanks Hassan. This is Sketchable. Available in the Windows App Store. Check out my Sketchable Playlist. Hope that helps - thanks for subscribing. Please spread the word :D
Close but this is still better. Wacom has the better hover distance which is quite important, especially if you are not a pro. Tilt and roll are also better on Wacom tech in general I have found. Just smoother in general and this pen doesn't seem any different. Id does have less pressure levels but it feels very much like the Pro Pen to use. I'd also say that the 'paper feel' that Wacom has developed makes a big difference too. Huion and XP-Pen have tried to develop their own but I still think they are quite a few years behind. I think the price difference is about right for what you get there.
Looks good, thanks for the review. There was noticeable lag in the line test though, was that because of using a phone? does it lag as much on Photoshop or Krita?
Lag has nothing to do with the tablet. That's an old myth. It's all to do with the computer and application and the brushes etc that you are using. I was using a larger brush to get the variation in stroke width. I'm not sure why the lag occurred but it wasn't the tablet. Might have been because I was screen recording at the same time.
Windows 10. Works perfectly for me. I've not heard any reports of it not working. It's more likely that users have had driver issues rather than issues with the OS.
Hi Adrianna, Thanks for subscribing :D Means a lot. I would probably use the Wacom Intuos Pro Large for Corel Painter and photography work. The stylus is more accurate.
Hi Lawrence !.. Thanks for this review !.. 👍 💖 🕊 I like this little Wacom One !.. it's a simple device but watching you drawing and painting on it makes me feel that may be ... well, why not ?.. it has all I need to draw on the go !.. Congratulations Wacom for providing us an affordable device !.. I'm sure many people will enjoy that ONE !.. 🎩
Wacom advertised their note taking software for this tablet, how would the experience be if one tried taking notes with it? I use my tablet as my main device for taking notes and adding drawings (chemistry, biology, etc..), but the drawing experience isn't the best since it's an old Galaxy Tab S that wasn't designed for pen use. Could this tablet allow me to connect to my phone and take notes in school, while also being a great device to draw at home, connected to my PC?
For note taking? Second to none!!! Personally I don't take many notes these days (maybe I should) but Wacom puts a lot into making their tech work for signature and note taking. This does need to be plugged in and I'm not sure if it can run off a battery pack to be 100% mobile but if it can it would be even better for school. I'm going to put the draw test out as a separate video and I'll answer that question soon!
Can a single USBc cable connect and power it from a 2018 Macbook Pro or similar laptop? These laptops can deliver 15 to 20 watts of power from the thunderbolt port.
The Wacom One plugs into your PC, Mac or Android phone so it uses whatever software you have on there! Think of it like a fancy monitor in that regard ;) Hope that helps!
Can this also be used with Photoshop? I have the Wacom Intuos and I'm curious if I could I connect the Wacom One to my computer and draw in Photoshop like the Intuos? Thanks!
I have wacom intuos. I bought it like 3 years ago. I hav been looking for monitor drawing tablet to buy. Can you advice me whether I should buy it or not?
My mum just got this for me for christmas but she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and showed me. i can’t use it til christmas tho. 😃 It’s my first drawing pad and i’m SUPER excited.
That's awesome - nice to see your mum is excited about this too. I'm guessing you've watched every video on TH-cam already. haha. It's a great tablet to start with. I started back in the early 90s so my first tablet was 2 x 2 inches and no tablet had a screen back then! Download a few free drawing apps and see how you get on with the tutorials on TH-cam. As long as you can spend at least a couple of hours a day then you'll progress quickly! Just make sure to draw lots of different things rather than getting stuck on one or two illustrations which take time. Good luck & stay subscribed ;)
Hi, I'm completely new to drawing/graphics tablets and wanting one for my daughter. Can I ask do you need a pc or laptop to use this tablet? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Will you review the upcoming Huion Kamvas 13 (non-Pro)? It also can operate with Android and have a new pen tech that its nibs similar to Wacom now. This model is gonna compete neck-and-neck with Wacom One.
I would be more than happy to review that. I've reviewed Huion in the past. I'm just editing a quick Huion video right now as it happens - stay subscribed for that!
I have an iMac + an Eizo monitor that is turned upright and the Wacom one. If I edit an image in Photoshop, can I have the photo displayed on the Eizo and the Wacom one at the same time? If I synchronize all screens then I have a problem with the Eizo turned upright (means only a third of the screen is used) And also I no longer have my tools separately on the iMac screen - Or do I always have to move the image on the the screen I want to edit it on?
I take my time and consider what I say. I dislike videos where the reviewer talks too fast and doesn't give you the proper chance to soak in what they are say or give thought to what they are saying themselves - often simply repeating a hastily written script. In our field this is done because these people are not professional artists giving honest advice for fellow artists. I know some people would like me to talk faster but I'm not willing to change my persona (or my opinions) to quickly gain subscribers. Sorry if that's disappointing but I stick to my guns with that one. I make long form reviews for professional digital artists and as a working professional freelance artist rather than a sponsored full time TH-camr, my videos might be a bit rougher around the edges than some other peoples but mine are 100% honest and I'll get you there in the end ;) P.S. You can click the little cog in the bottom right and watch it on x2 speed if that helps!! haha
Thank you for the answer. The difference between the screen gaps(laminating) when drawing What about compared to other products?(ex:cintiq , ipad pro series) considering buying on this product.
I hate doing comparisons just because there are so many differences I'd be there for an eternity and it's like a vs battle were the only real looser is the referee. haha. The iPad is a different thing because it's an all in one - but be aware that it really only has one good app for it. Procreate. The iPad is not a real computer. If you are looking for a drawing tablet then it depends on how far along you are with your art journey. I always say go with the best you can afford and trust your gut BUT I do have two bits of advice. Firstly, the pen is the most important part - don't pick fancy dials or any other feature over a good pen. Second, get the biggest screen possible because the UI takes up screen-room and the more you grow as an artist - the more screen space you'll need too! Good lock out there & watch your six ;)
I have this display and should I get a screen protector? I’m worried that someday it’ll get scratched…apparently, Wacom doesnt sell screen protectors…why is that?
I've been using Wacom tablets for years and never once needed a screen protector. Saying that I don't use them on my phones either. I'm just careful and don't push down like the Hulk. lol. Using a screen protector can give you a tiny insignificant almost immeasurable amount of parallax and that is still enough to trigger some folks - probably the reason it's hard to find screen protectors for most tablets.
Very informative, thank you. I have a XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro display graphics tablet, it is a very responsive piece of kit, gorgeous for drawing on. I'd definitely recommend going for a pen display for drawing rather than a normal tablet that you can do other stuff on. The XP-Pen is only about $450 and definitely gives the comparable Wacom a run for it's money. the wider colour gamut of 99% Adobe RGB and laminated screen.
Wacom really did want to make this their 'budget' tablet. It was strange at the time but now it has been amazingly awkward as they have failed to release almost nothing.
No lag. My phone is nice and powerful to be fair. Though I did draw on it for a good hour or two and not a problem. Plenty of layers too. I was conscious that it was a phone though so I kept my file size to 1920 x 1080 100 dpi and closed all other apps apart from screen recording.
hi Lawrence and happy new year 2020 .i Have a question but this is not related to wacom one but wacom cp 24 and clip studio paint. I wanted to know if It is possible to buy my wacom then bring it to a clip studio store to have it installed by an expert? someone in France will buy me but I do not live in France and I would like to receive it with everything already installed
It will be on their Clip Studio account with their email address. They will own it. The same with Windows that is set-up on that Cintiq Pro 24. You would be much better off, resetting the device and putting your own software onto it. You can use the software that is on it but you will have no control and who ever owns those accounts can lock you out at any time from the Windows website or from the Clip Studio website. It's really easy to install the software. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to go to the website and get the download. You can even Google it and it will take you right to it. Hope that helps. Happy New Year to you too Hamatos!
It is Sketchable. I use it in a lot of my videos and you can check out my playlist for that. You can grab yourself a copy of the app from the Microsoft App store. It's pretty affordable compared to other drawing apps out there!
If you mirror a larger monitor then you'll see a smaller version of that screen. You can zoom into your art on the tablet but that will always be mirrored on the screen & vice-versa. Best to treat them as two different displays because they are most likely two different sizes.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thank you for the response. after thinking about it, I realized that i can probably extend the desktop and create a duplicate window in PS to work on details.
Hello good review Ive started my digital journey last year and ive been drawing on my small phone and a pen tablet and then ive got the chance to buy a cheap android tablet since I can't almost see what im doing on my phone for now I have no money yet and if I go for a upgrade should I buy a Ipadpro with an apple pencil, or should I buy a cheap laptop and a wacom one or should i buy a macbook, macbook is kinda pricey for a beginner like me plus i have to buy the photoshop too im an aspiring concept artist and im doing some work now to be put on a portfolio and get a job so hopefully someday I can buy some new equipment cause the lag on my cheap android tablet is so time consuming.
Lag is caused by crazy brushes and number of layers. Delete everything off your phone that doesn't need to bee there - apps, photos, junk, everything. Close all other apps while drawing. That will help with your phone lag. I give two bits of info about picking a tablet. Go for the best pen tech available. The pen is the most important part of the tablet. Also go for the biggest screen possible because UI takes up room. If it's about getting a job then you need a real computer so you can train yourself in the applications like Adobe that real studios use so you can add those to your CV. Hope that helps!
Yes you're right when I'm using texture brushes I really get big delay and since I'm using a marshmallow android I think that's a plus on the lag too. Thank you for the advice hopefully I can apply it someday.
Cool content sir it gives me more knowledge on what tablets should I buy someday, really informative. Thank you so much on the information keep sharing. Considered buying this one someday.
Well there are cheaper alternatives but they don't have iOS so you won't get Procreate or the Pencil which are the only two good things about the iPad... I can be harsh. The Samsung Android tablets are cheaper for example. If you need a Windows tablet then you might run into budget issues but at least you could get something a lot more powerful and that can real applications like Painter and Photoshop. I left Apple as a user for 20 yrs because they refused to put pen and touch on all devices. Real shame. You could be waiting a long time if you want iOS or a really strong alternative on that. PCs have come a long way for artists and creatives though. 2-in-1s especially but I will say that budget versions are very lacking because a good GPU costs money.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I'm not really after an iPad Pro, bro. Just something like it where it's a tablet that I can draw without PC. There some like ex. Wacom Companion but it's too damn expensive. I also don't care what OS it is as long I can draw like how the performance of an iPadPro. I can compromise a bit of performance as long it its around $400~500 mark. $1000~2000 is too much for a starting artist.
Just ignoring the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro & the Huion KAMVAS Pro 16 tablets with that "best at price range", which are both better than the Cintiq 16, let alone something I assume is a more boiled down version of said tablet.
That said tablet uses the Pro Pen 2 which is a superior pen to that of any of the tablets you've just mentioned because of reasons such as rotation, hover, tilt, pressure variation etc. Plus screen differences etc. It's nice to see though that the latest Huions and XP-Pens are getting nicer screens but they still haven't cracked the 'pap'er feel texture yet. I'm not going to make a video that compares a tablet to every tablet one by one and personally I hate mentioning other brands in a review. I believe I did it once here and that was only to talk about the Android capabilities as that is a new feature to tablets. When it comes to budget tablets though, yes they all start to look similar under a certain price. They all have 1080p screens etc but having one with a well calibrated pen that feels really good and comfortable to use for hours on end makes a lot of difference.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW While what you say is mostly true, disregarding other brands in a review in which you express a tablet to be best in price range is disingenuous. The two tablets I mentioned were mentioned due to their clearly superior screens, with a high colour range, laminated displays, inbuilt shortcut keys etc. The nicest pen in the world won't redeem a parallax-filled, poorly calibrated screen. All I guess I am saying here, is that a review is no where near as useful if it has no point of reference to it's competitors.
Have you used all three of those? Because I have an Artist 15.6 Pro and a Cintiq 16, and the latter's miles better to draw with, lack of shortcut keys aside. XP Pen has a weird and awkward feel to it and much more limited software.
There's nothing 'disingenuous' about my review at all. The quality of a pen is a superior feature to that of the screen. That is my professional opinion as a professional who works in the industry and has over 25 years experience with drawing tablets. I mentioned the fact that the screen of the Wacom One is coated and not laminated unfortunately and that this was a drawback. I mentioned that it didn't have hotkeys ...but rather than say 'don't buy it' I said 'here is a way of solving that problem with a remote' (or even a cheaper alternative). I work with ALL of these companies as a consultant to make their products better rather than simply badmouth them in reviews because that is simply negative and pointless. It would be of little help to anyone. If you look at the chart I created in this review then you will see that you probably fall into the center category of hobbyist. Correct? Meaning that this tablet isn't right for you. But you are the kind of user that likes hotkeys so I would probably recommend the latest XP-Pen. However... It feels to me as if you might have liked me simply to have said 'don't buy the Wacom One, buy a Huion or XP-Pen instead'. That about right? That's how this kinda feels. There are Wacom haters out there - I really hope you're not one of them! There's better things in life to get hung up on ;) especially at your age. Experience says Wacom haters are mostly people who can't afford Wacom and have never even tried Wacom so don't really understand the difference in quality (or who have had a single bad experience). That's why I always make sure to review all brands. But I never like to mention Wacom in a Huion review or vise versa. I also avoid the term 'Wacom Alternatives'. I am a natural complainer and that's why I work so hard to not do it online. That's why I go out of my way to work with the companies to make the tech I use better by giving feedback and beta-testing. Any time I get criticism from someone on how I make a video I always notice it's someone who doesn't makes content themselves. However, I see you do have a channel - congrat's on that! So how about it? Step in front of the camera(phone) yourself and review a tablet. Whatever tablet you're using now. You seem to have good linguistic skills.
Hi @@TheCSJones, Wacom does have the best software. XP-Pen is in 2nd place I'd say with theirs. I can't understand why everyone can't manage to have good software these days. Especially since you can make a phone app in 10 minutes. lol. Yes! I've tried them all. They are all very distinct and different to each other and I wouldn't pit them as direct comparisons because some people wouldn't want a 16" but would want a 13" and vise versa. The size difference there is quite big. I get asked to do comparison videos all the time and never do them because I don't want to get in an endless cycle of doing them and it's always going to be an argument over which tablet is the winner. People get very protective over their tablet brands - like they are shareholders :O (Wish I'd of got shares in Wacom back when I got my first tablet). My universal rules for picking a good tablet are: Go for the best pen tech and the biggest screen you can get. It's that simple. If you are stuck between picking between a few of them then read all the specs, watch reviews from real artists who actually use them (and not just unbox them) and then... follow your gut instinct.
Nope. It's a drawing tablet. That way you can upgrade your computer and keep the tablet or use it with your computer and your phone. It's a different type of device. Not an all in one. Drawing tablets are more common than all-in-one pen tablets - they offer you more flexibility. Think of it like building your own PC rather than buying off the shelf ;)
Hi, I've had this display tablet and it works just fine as I expected. Anyhow, I am having trouble to change the brightness setting of this display, on my mac os. It just showing, "Compatible display device not found". Can this display tablet brightness be configured or not???
Hmmm. I haven't tried my old Art Pen. I might do that if I release the draw test as a tutorial - stay tuned! However the Pro Pen 3D works with the Pro Pen 2 so that is a hard NOPE - I actually did try that one!
Can you use the better Wacom Pen with the Eraser/dual button on this tablet? I still feel that at the price-point, they could have gone with a laminated display, but then it would cut out their Cintique line, probably the only reason they did not.
Just the pens/brands I mentioned Matt but you can use this pen on the Samsung Note if you use that phone - which is a decent enough added bonus. The Staedtler Norris is a great feeling pencil to use. It does feel like a real pencil - best I can do for ya!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW appreciate the response! My issue is I'm looking to pick-up a tablet for sculpting in Blender, so ideally need that '3 button mouse's effect. Was hoping this was gonna be my tablet 😂
My xp-pen artist pro 15.6 broke after one ur of use and I wish I had just gone for wacom one... how much I regret that ... I’m getting this one it’s a downgrade in the color accuracy but I feel more at ease with this, I’ll save up for a cintiq probably a few months I just really can’t afford the cintiq 16 but I can go for this I gotta work hard to get that cintiq 16 or do u suggest I save up for other cintiq?
I could 'get away' with using it if I had to. I wouldn't want to use it long term though. I would need a larger screen. That is my personal opinion for my type of work. I don't know about your work of course. Sorry to hear that your XP-Pen tablet 'crapped out' I take it that they refunded you or offered a replacement?
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I do need a larger screen so I'll save up for now and get the wacom one, thanks for this review! the experience is terrible in xp-pen, yes first time it was amazing, i praised it so much but this isn't for long term. the screen protector is easily scratched, very uncomfortable to work in. it gradually starts glitching like, you have to setup the settings every time you use it and even after that you might need to re-connect it if problem pertains, and service is also terrible. I didn't get a refund/replacement bc it broke after the warranty expired, it was only a 1 yr warranty getting it fixed out of town means paying a lot so I'd just buy a new one
Screen protectors suck altogether. I just hate them. I would rather spend more money on a different device than ever use one. I've tried it, I've talked about them and they still make me sad. Can't do it. Sorry.
They get old just like us! You ever read about the Hubble Telescope? Really interesting story. The mirror wasn't perfect and the pictures were out of focus so they sent a shuttle up there and fitted an extra piece which were in essence... glasses :O - check out some of the videos about that here on TH-cam. Fascinating!
Glad I could help you Bunny! Hope your channel is going well :D Try TubeBuddy out - it'll help with lots of stuff when you're uploading videos and behind the scenes on YT! www.tubebuddy.com/DrawBuddy
Hey Lawrence, this IS the best Wacom review, no lie:) €399 vat included in europe, at €330 ex vat a steal! The Wacom Cintiq 16 now €455 ex vat with 5 year guarantee, i think i'm becoming a Wacom fanboy;) BTW, good to see they'd finally let you out of that Chinese hotel room. After waiting in vain for those Lenovo adventures you promised us, i hope they'd let you keep all of your organs,lol.
Wondering if you can download sketchbook pro or is there a app close to that where I can put a screen shot of a photo off the internet and use layers to trace over the screen shot photo ?
You can do that in any app. Just copy and paste your image in as a separate layer. However, you'll never be a better artist by tracing. Just keep them side by side and do your best to replicate the image.
for me, I suggest getting a Cintiq 16 instead of this. for hobbyist , hey like the old saying, there's alway room for improvement but first you gotta need the room.
That's why I work with a lot of great software & hardware companies and make TH-cam videos too. I beta-test, give feedback and work as a consultant. It's nice to see my ideas implemented is actual devices and software that I use to create my artwork. I do believe that I said in this video and lots of others that the minimum size for me is 16" too. I use a 32" and the bigger the better. UI takes up a lot of room!! But the draw test proves that you can create good artwork I hope. I said also about touchscreen. Even my 4 yr old knows that all screens should be touchscreen by now! It's just quicker to work on. However there are about 5 comments on this video about how people REALLY don't want that. So I do think there should be a quick on/off button too and I have already suggested that to a couple of my favorite companies ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes. no harm getting a touchscreen to increase productivity indeed, but it comes with a price for some items which some may underutilized or be put off. I am active in this because I would like to know more about the Cintiq 16 as I like to sketch anime style (still learning how to color) but I feel restricted drawing on an iPad Pro 9.7" and disconnected when using an intros Pro M. Although the iPad Pro is technically great but lacks workspace and inefficient to work on when I want to draw comfortably. (I applause those who really can get it done on an iPad Pro). I would like to ask if the Cintiq 16 can be connect via a TB1 to HDMI connector to a MacBook Pro 2012. Also for curiousity, does drawing on a big Cintiq ie 32" ( not gonna buy it) need more hand movement to get the same line in 16" which I guess would need lesser hand movement because I cannot decide between 22" and 16" (non-pro version)? although generally speaking the bigger the better My take on this is the big Cintiq are suitable for styles that draw lines with generous strokes. unlike more technical drawings like anime style which I think a 13-16 " would do.
Haha. I am sure I must have put that in the comments a bunch of times? No?? Sketchable!! It's really good, affordable and you can pick it up in the Windows app store to download - have fun S7PT and let me know what you think!!
Lawrence Mann I normally draw with micron pens and paint with watercolor:) I’ve been drawing ever since I was a kid. I’m hoping to get into the animation field and needed to pick out a drawing tablet and this video helped a ton!
do the draw test full video. also could you test if this works using a powerbank? maybe using this with a power bank and a laptop thats running on battery power? I'd like to see if this is a viable option for a totally mobile-ish setup.
I have a question: if I were using this with a android device since it doesn't have any hotkeys would there be anyway to zoom in and out on a app like let's say ibis paint?
Oh yeah also tho I contacted wacom for this and they said the desktop-like mode for the android phones was made by android and when your in that mode you can use the phones screen as a touchpad pretty neat
Correction: You say this pen is the "best in terms of specs with 4096 levels of sensitivity" but both Huion and XP Pen have tablets in their Pro series that have 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity with laminate screens and they're currently available for cheaper than the Wacom One. I'm not trying to start a brand war but just pointing out that, at least on paper, it seems you can still get better specs for less money with Wacom's competitors. Of course, it's totally valid if you just prefer the drawing experience, customer service, or drivers of Wacom.
If you want a WACOM ONE or any of the other ACCESSORIES in this video then check out the Amazon links in the description - You'll be helping me out and it won't cost you a penny extra ;)
Isn't Wacom afraid that this will make the baseline Cintiqs obsolete?
Hi Dillon, Everyone wants something slightly different. I talk to a lot of artists who think 22" is too big. Personally I wouldn't go smaller than my 32" now but to each their own! As far as I'm concerned, the more tablets the better!
@@urban_gabor No wacom, display-tablet or pen-display has real risk of scratching if you use it carefully. The cases I've known were of people not treating the wacom well for drawing, putting WAY more pressure than needed. If u draw over it as if it were glass or porcelain, you draw with the friction of a feather, I tell u, my wacom intuos 4 , the one suspected to be more able to be scratched... 11 years of HEAVY daily use, and not a single scratch. Produced entire video games, ALL graphic content of full board games, book covers, tons, and tons of art with this, 10 hours a day average.... The surface of these display tablets (like the One's) is actually sturdier than my Intuos'. Any tablet you buy, treat it carefully and you will be totally fine. Be sure to set the pressure sensitivity in the Wacom's panel for all apps (and the "for all applications" option) at maximum sensitivity, tho. So, you'll get used to that even the slightest touch will produce ink or digital paint. And so, non consciously, but you'll put really soft pressure while you paint. Is a good habit.
Hi @@urban_gabor, I've never used a screen protector and it's never been an issue. The only time I'd recommended them is on something like the iPad where you've got to get rid of the gloss screes and replace it with a good matte texture.
Do you connect the mini keyboard via Bluetooth to the Wacom One and is there a tutorial on setting it up for hot keys. Sorry very new to this and just purchased the Wacom One. Thanks!
Existence of this tablet is proof that competition brings prices down.
Competition is king!
I was saying wacom was gonna have to change with all the really nice tablets from chinese companies....no one I know in the market for a tablet were even considering wacom anymore with their sky high prices. I'm glad they realized this and made a change.
@protoman1214 Well, they are not losing any money since professional studios only use wacom and wacom is the apple of drawing tablets
Looks like cinquit and Intuos had a baby lol amazing for beginners!
…what ;v;
For all the beginners who want to work in studios as a concept artist, storyboard/animatic artist, animator, sculptor/modeler, texturing artist, etc and have this "disconnect" problem. Let me tell you this. DON'T BULLSHIT YOURSELVES. This is neither a physical or a mental problem. Do you look at your steering wheel when you drive a car? A week of practice and your all set. You're not always gonna end up in companies that have pen displays for freshers and mid-level artists. It's incredibly easy to switch from graphic tabs to pen displays but not the other way around.
Very true James! I didn't touch a monitor tablet for the first 15 yrs of having a tablet. It's not a real thing. I look at it like a rich-kid problem. lol.
I will totally get this. It is such a versatile device with the support for android, you just literally can turn your phone into a tablet. Wacom did a great job. I would love to see a touchscreen version and maybe the pro models also getting support for android. Such a sexy device.
Cool. Do me a favor and use the link in the description. Really helps me out and doesn't cost you a penny more ;) Thanks for watching Fumei :)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I was gonna run down to Best Buy, but I'll follow your link to Amazon.
I would appreciate any tutorials from the Master! Great review! Exciting times. Chinese companies putting pressure on Wacom!
Great to hear :D Let's see hear how many votes we can get on that!! Spread the word :)
Just got the Wacom One, it's amazing.. it has more touch sensitive than the others and the screen is very nice. The pen doesn't need batteries so that's great. If you're trying to connect it to an android device here's how. First make sure your phone can be connected to it. get a converter and put in both of the cords into it, after that put the converters cord into your phone. Hope that makes sense!
What others? I doubt it has more touch sensitivity/pressure than intuos pro.
Lov-love-love your digital art! Great Wacom One review, the best! You speak slowly enough to help us follow you and your opinions are just great and honest. Thanks!
You're producing some excellent work on this tablet! I like it when reviews actually show the artist at work. Helps with making a decision on wether to get it or not.
Thanks Micah. I love the support :D I hate when reviews are done by non-artists unfortunately the companies don't care. They are only interested in numbers and that is why peeps like Unbox Therapy get paid HUGE amounts to review anything and everything while I do this for nothing!
Just ordered it, that sitting on the Sofa and using it while travelling sounds really chill. Thanks for the review. :)
Hope you enjoy it! Make sure you clean the packaging from top to bottom when it arrives. Same goes for anything you've ordered!! Stay safe, stay subscribed Pierre :D
I love the fact that you draw an amazing art with us, proof that if u want a cheap tablet its worth it!
Thanks Sara - I just want to test every tablet and see how well I can actually draw on them. Some are great but some feel like they have real limitations. Such a shame. This is a nice tablet despite the lack of features.
72% NTSC is about fine even for some pros. Is about 98% sRGB coverage. That's A LOT, for painting.
And indeed, several POD print companies do even require your work to be in sRGB, as they convert quite well to CMYK in the RIP (often better than in a freelancer's home computer and software). Anyway, CMYK is a smaller range than sRGB. Yep, some intense greens, neons lights, etc (that, again, non printable, and out of the CMYk spectrum, any profile), can be a bit of an issue, and the color is not as rich as in a 100% Adobe RGB monitor, where those colors can be displayed, but those are a tad more expensive. I'd say, unless one is doing very color critic stuff (ie, a photo lab, or high end illustration; my monitor covers a wider range), you're fine with an sRGB compliant monitor. Specially for students or even young manga artists. Also, sRGB means full compatibility across any range of devices, iPhones and iPads, even the Pro one, till the versions introducing P3 color profile, were all sRGB compliant, as much (not even fully!). And some of those were used even to win short film and photography contests.
The entire Cintiq (non pro) line is ~ 72% NTSC, too. And well, I believe the XP-Pen (BTW, 22E, 22 inches at 364 $ at amazon... my gosh) is 88% NTSC, the 22R I believe even more. BUT... this ONE is *way* more portable. You could throw the One into your bag, with the cables and just a phone or small tablet. Fits perfectly in a side or back bag (to draw in starbucks, college, the library, etc). While you can't do that with a 22 heavy and chunky screen whatever the brand. As a pro, I'd go with an XP-Pen 22 all the way, but it's in no way portable, and you'd need a full computer with it. So, the attractive part of this model lays in two factors : a) It's freaking Wacom, the product quality and durability is more than ensured (I should know, I have a bunch of wacoms...) b) It works better in its Android connection than the XP's solution for that, if we have to believe you ;D , and definitely than Huion's, according to your experience (I believe it). So, it's a win-win for portability. You get sth almost as portable as an iPad, but which you can ALSO connect to your home full desktop or Mac (without dealing with wifi issues of astropad or whatever, or heck, needing a mac for that), having in this sense more versatility than an autonomous (ie, an ipad) tablet (which is also limited in CPU, RAM, memory for a bit more serious work).
I understand that you're going with Wacom for your son. U need the thing to be sturdy and durable, also, kind of in terms of safety, I trust A TAD more Wacom (the number of safety labs certifications passed is crazy, not the case of competitors, checked all that) than in any alternative (electromagnetic stuff, materials toxicity, etc). But I wouldn't leave him handle it unsupervised, if is very young, as kids do crazy things and can't get out alone from situations, later... After all, involves actual electric cables (shock risk).
My kid doesn't let anyone leave him alone. He wants constant praise and attention. He must get it from his mother (Hi dear, I know you read the comments xxx). I gave him my old iPad when I gave up Apple a few years ago and he's been great with that. He's a techie kid and never broken anything. I'm pretty sure I can trust him now.
I knew you'd get all of this with the colour values. I thought it funny that they only put the NTSC values on the specs and not the sRGB. I didn't know if I should say 98 or 99% so I left that off as I couldn't pin it down. Not that it matters. 98 or 99% of people won't be able to tell the difference. lol. Most screens now are fine. Ellie said that Lisa from mobileTechReviews said the screen was a bit dim but I don't see that at all - even at 75% brightness this is great. Having seen the new Kamvas 13 I'm eager to see that and maybe do a comparison between the two!
I'd really like to see how an experienced digital artist uses that remote in conjuction with the Wacom One. As a beginner I can't see the value of the pricey remote. A demo of how that is integrated into your workflow would be beneficial and appreciated. Thanks.
If you are a beginner then I would focus on the user interface rather than shortcuts. Get to really know the applications you are using. A remote is great once you have trained up a bit but you don't need it and it won't help you become a better artist. I would put that money towards upgrading your tablet instead.
I've been using an Intuos forever, but it got scratched over the years. I always wanted to draw on a screen and I bought the Wacome One yesterday. I had tried a similar product from XP pen, but returned it the same day. The Wacom however I plugged in and went to play. And wow, it is a different world drawing on the screen and having the Wacom feel. On the XP pen I could feel the parallax and the reaction seemed delayed. The Wacom feels like a Wacom and I am glad they chose to make a display tablet that is portable and kinda affordable. Their high end stuff is mind-blowing, but not everyone has a studio or a free table to set up these massive screens and stands. I love the portability and the built-in stand!
Glad to hear your thoughts on the subject. Especially given a lot of the views from the XP-Pen/Huion camp. I don't dismiss those tablets but a lot of those arguments do come from users who have not tried Wacom technology and I do think are bias against Wacom for certain reasons. Mainly price and brand favoritism. The fact that you have now tried this tablet helps. Which XP-Pen & Intuos tablet did you last have?
Thanks for that, Lawrence. I'm researching tablets at the moment as I consider going from traditional hard-copy illustration to digital - a great amount of info!
Always glad to help.
The design looks like the upgrade ver. of Intuos but with screen I LUV IT
I think this might be the new Intuos given that the newer generation of artists are unwilling to touch tablets without screens! haha
I got 2 questions...
1 is it compatible with windows 10?
2 what is the name of your drawing app on the Wacom one?
Yes, Windows 10, Mac OS and Android. The app I'm using here on Windows to draw the robot is Sketchable. You can grab that from the Windows app store. It's pretty affordable and I have a whole playlist & more of videos about it ;) Hope that helps! Stay subscribed and spread the word!!
Two questions:
1) how's the left-handed experience of this? Do you have to set it as left handed like in the Intuos? Some tablets are great for right handed people but horrible for left handed, did you notice any difference?
2)I noticed quite a bit of lag on some strokes. How annoying does that get on a normal workflow? I have a galaxy note and I rarely use it for drawing because most free software displays lag.
Thank you!
1). Wacom have a long history of left handed UX & UI so I never worry about their tablets on that front. It was perfect.
2). There was no lag. Remember that I have to screen record as well as film on several devices. I use a large film template as my base so I am actually pushing the tablet when testing it unlike a lot of other reviewers. I don't just let it skate along on the minimum and say how well it did after only 5 minutes of reviewing it. haha. I tested it fully for a month. If there would have been lag then I'd of mentioned it and/or shown it.
Sidebar). I use AutoDesk SketchBook on my Note 8 and DU Recorder to screen capture. Very rare that I get lag. You can see for yourself in my extensive playlist ;)
Happy New Year.
Lawrence.
I'm curious if you could use this thing with your phone and then remote desktop to you PC for a full, mobile, illustrator or Photoshop experience.
I hadn't thought about remote desktop-ing! Interesting. No reason you couldn't.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW You mentioned in your video about USB host power and how that would help portability. Another review I saw said he plugged it into a battery pack and it worked just fine.
would this be a good choice to use with a laptop and traveling vs the 16" Cintique?
Awesome review. BUT, for enthusiast and just a person with a hobby to draw, would you recommend this, or intuos pro? I'm asking this, because price is the same, and intuos pro large has even higher price than ONE.
This will be easier for you!
I LOVE the art you did. AMAZING!! Hope to see soon a video of the new Huion Kamvas 13 and see which one is the best option to me. It REALLY looks so great this new Wacom One ^^
Thanks Victor :) Spread the word - Maybe if we Tweet at Huion enough they'll send one for review to @LAWRENCEcanDRAW!!
thanks this Video was super helpful! Im drawing manga and illustriousion . I don't know if I should go for quality but expensive Wacom One Display 13 or the cheaper XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro.
So what would be your suggestion for me?
would you say this is friendly for an artist that likes to switch between traditional and digital art ?
Certainly. Especially with the Staedtler pencil. Check out my Samsung Note review of that!
Well if you think about it.
If you are a beginner, the alternative tablets are much better in term of EVERYTHING.
Take The latest Huion tablet for example, Kamvas pro 16. Full-laminated screen, 8192 Pressure Levels, 120% sRGB, 15.6 inch display, for $469.
Wacom One is too expensive. You're only getting a brand name with a build quality.
My opinion is: If you're a beginner, Huion is the way to go. Good specification for a little amount of money. The tablet will last, and if you think it's time to upgrade to a pro tablet, Wacom is the way to go.
The Huion looks good. I agree. There is no such thing as 120% sRGB though as I mentioned on today's videos - did you see that?
This is pretty sweet. I would love to have fun with this and my Note 9. However, my Gen 1 cintiq companion is surprisingly still going strong! Haha 😂 Love your reviews and this channel! Cheers!
While I think plugging a tablet into your phone is fun, I'd rather attach it to a real computer and use real applications. Enjoy your old Cintiq for the moment and Tweet me some pics of your set-up @LAWRENCEcanDRAW
Yeah, my Wacom Companion Hybrid is still awesome.
Would this be a good choice for calligraphy and handwriting design ideas? Does the Wacom com with software installed? Can you export in .TIFF or .JPG format? Thank you so much.
If you're doing calligraphy then you'd want a slightly bigger screen so you can do those longer free strokes that come more from the wrist. I's suggest a 16" or above tablet. Also, tablets like this are really just 'fancy' monitors - you still need to plug them into a PC/Mac to use them. They will work with whatever software you have on your computer. Hope that helps!
Fantastic review and the Android art is Amazing :D ! Thanks you for the video!
Always a pleasure. Check out my playlist for the Samsung Note or my Drawing on Phones playlist. Over 20 videos there! Spread the word.
Is this worth it for any serious work or is the screen size going to be an issue beyond beginner work/learning digital art?
That's exactly why I do the draw test. So you can see that ;) I found it comfortable enough to use a pro artist. I do prefer larger tablets. Check out the Cintiq 16 video that I just released.
Hi, realy nice drawing!! Is this wacom much better than a dell xps or lenovo c940 for drawing?
They are all in one computers where as this is a monitor tablet. It has to be connected to a computer. I would not make that comparison. Sorry Dan.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW No problem Lawrence I see ;) I'm just looking for a 2 in 1 on which i can draw portraits for example. I watched your video how nice you draw on a Surfacebook 2 and that will be enough for me! So i would definitely go for a 2 in 1 not a wacom becouse i don't even have a PC.
I hope you could handle this drawings on a yoga c940 so "easy" too.
Becouse i would prefer the yoga instead of a surfacebook. Do you have an idea about it?
I couldn't find informations about drawing on a yoga c940.
Hey Lawrence , great drawing , i have one question , i'm a beginner what would you recommend me to get? Wacom one , Cintiq 16 or other brands? Thanks!
I'd say it depends on what you are creating!
I learned very much. Thanks for sharing.
Nice review did consider the new Huion 13 vs the wacom one for your son? I'm trying to decide between this or the huion for myself. Does the 4k pressure matter compared to 8k?
I currently have a intuos 2012 I hate the glassy feel. I got it free yrs ago.
The Huion 13 hadn't been announced when I made this video. It is quite nice. I'm gonna see what I can do about reviewing that soon.
4k vs 8k. You may notice the difference if you are an experienced tablet user but most will not. It's subtle and really beneficial for digital painting more than manga artists - depends what you're looking for.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW awesome thanks looking forward to that review
Yes, please. Would love to see the art tutorial.
There is a gap between pen and tablet when you draw. It doesn't draw immediately. Ipad doesn't have that. Yet it's too expensive. Do you think I can fix this issue when I get this tablet?
It is a beginner / budget tablet as far as Wacom tablets are concerned. The XP-Pen or Huion brand might serve you better. The iPad still has that 'gap' which we call parallax - their screens are made of a slightly thinner plastic that feels more flexible and you may consider a compromise. Unless you spend some real money on a quality device you can't expect to get the higher specs & more features but you only need them if you are a more professional artist and you can easily put more money towards that it you are claiming towards it as a business expenses as a professional.
I do think this is a good think this is a good tablet for those just starting out. I do think there are many other great alternatives for those just starting out but as a Wacom it is still pretty good!
In 2021, for the same price, should I get this Wacom One or the Artisul D13 with 8192 pressure levels?
I think there is an XP-Pen around the same price which is also worth looking at!
Is this a great Monitor for a mini pc setup? Like an Intel NUC or something??
Is the TAB suitable for watching a bit of netflix on the side?
Yeah, I'd certainly use it for that. The screen is great quality and certainly bright enough for streaming on. If you plug it in to an external powerbank then you can even take it mobile too!
Nice review! Would you advice getting one as a semi pro artist? I have used an Intuos Pro Medium for 6 years and I love it, but for very precise linework/inking type of operations its a struggle. Being a third worlder Cintiq is way out of my price range, with our crazy taxes I can get one of these for 450 USD. Better wait for a model with touch screen and a bigger image or go for it? (Mainly a Blender user, but have drawn all my life and like 2D digital art too)
This to me is certainly for beginners. I would suggest something like the Cintiq 22 or even an Intuos Large if you want to save money and are happy with a non screen tablet (many pro's use them). It is all about the best pen tech possible!!
Which app or program is this? Amazing drawing!
Thanks Hassan. This is Sketchable. Available in the Windows App Store. Check out my Sketchable Playlist. Hope that helps - thanks for subscribing. Please spread the word :D
Thanks Lawrence for the amazing review!!
How does it stand against Latest Huion pen displays?
Close but this is still better. Wacom has the better hover distance which is quite important, especially if you are not a pro. Tilt and roll are also better on Wacom tech in general I have found. Just smoother in general and this pen doesn't seem any different. Id does have less pressure levels but it feels very much like the Pro Pen to use. I'd also say that the 'paper feel' that Wacom has developed makes a big difference too. Huion and XP-Pen have tried to develop their own but I still think they are quite a few years behind. I think the price difference is about right for what you get there.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Thank you so much for the super quick reply, super help!
Always super happy to help Ibrahim :) Spread the word & enjoy your day!
Looks good, thanks for the review. There was noticeable lag in the line test though, was that because of using a phone? does it lag as much on Photoshop or Krita?
Lag has nothing to do with the tablet. That's an old myth. It's all to do with the computer and application and the brushes etc that you are using. I was using a larger brush to get the variation in stroke width. I'm not sure why the lag occurred but it wasn't the tablet. Might have been because I was screen recording at the same time.
Which Windows did you use in the video? I heard windows 10 does not work very well with the Wacom One.
Windows 10. Works perfectly for me. I've not heard any reports of it not working. It's more likely that users have had driver issues rather than issues with the OS.
Hi man, great review! Do you know if this tablet is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S10e? Cheers
No idea. The Note 8 wasn't even on that list but it worked fine. I think if your S10e works with Samsung DEX then it should be fine. Does it?
Lawrence Mann cheers mate. Need to check if it does. Will do and get back to you with this info.
Lawrence Mann yeah man. It does!
Should be fine then!
Hey Lawrence I use Corel painter now for some of my photography I was wondering if you recommended this Wacom one or intuos pro
Hi Adrianna, Thanks for subscribing :D Means a lot. I would probably use the Wacom Intuos Pro Large for Corel Painter and photography work. The stylus is more accurate.
Hi Lawrence !.. Thanks for this review !.. 👍 💖 🕊
I like this little Wacom One !.. it's a simple device but watching you drawing and painting on it makes me feel that may be ... well, why not ?.. it has all I need to draw on the go !.. Congratulations Wacom for providing us an affordable device !.. I'm sure many people will enjoy that ONE !.. 🎩
Thanks Eric ✏️ You're a star!
Wacom advertised their note taking software for this tablet, how would the experience be if one tried taking notes with it? I use my tablet as my main device for taking notes and adding drawings (chemistry, biology, etc..), but the drawing experience isn't the best since it's an old Galaxy Tab S that wasn't designed for pen use. Could this tablet allow me to connect to my phone and take notes in school, while also being a great device to draw at home, connected to my PC?
For note taking? Second to none!!! Personally I don't take many notes these days (maybe I should) but Wacom puts a lot into making their tech work for signature and note taking. This does need to be plugged in and I'm not sure if it can run off a battery pack to be 100% mobile but if it can it would be even better for school. I'm going to put the draw test out as a separate video and I'll answer that question soon!
Can a single USBc cable connect and power it from a 2018 Macbook Pro or similar laptop?
These laptops can deliver 15 to 20 watts of power from the thunderbolt port.
I want to test this but unfortunately I think the answer is no. The new Huion 13 does.
Does this device work with software like Krita, Inkscape, Photoshop, etc (Win 10) or is it limited to the included software?
The Wacom One plugs into your PC, Mac or Android phone so it uses whatever software you have on there! Think of it like a fancy monitor in that regard ;) Hope that helps!
Can this also be used with Photoshop? I have the Wacom Intuos and I'm curious if I could I connect the Wacom One to my computer and draw in Photoshop like the Intuos? Thanks!
Exactly the same! It just has a screen built in. You can even have both tablets plugged in!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW wow, awesome! thanks for the quick reply!
I have wacom intuos. I bought it like 3 years ago. I hav been looking for monitor drawing tablet to buy. Can you advice me whether I should buy it or not?
If you're happy on Intuos then that's cool. Lot's of pro's use Intuos. Follow your gut feeling.
My mum just got this for me for christmas but she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and showed me. i can’t use it til christmas tho. 😃 It’s my first drawing pad and i’m SUPER excited.
That's awesome - nice to see your mum is excited about this too. I'm guessing you've watched every video on TH-cam already. haha. It's a great tablet to start with. I started back in the early 90s so my first tablet was 2 x 2 inches and no tablet had a screen back then! Download a few free drawing apps and see how you get on with the tutorials on TH-cam. As long as you can spend at least a couple of hours a day then you'll progress quickly! Just make sure to draw lots of different things rather than getting stuck on one or two illustrations which take time. Good luck & stay subscribed ;)
Same, just with my dad, and I only have to wait 10 days :D
Also my first step into the digital art so I'm suuuuuuper excited :D
Tweet me some pics @LAWRENCEcanDRAW - I will share!!! 🖥✍🤘
hi lawurence,between this one and intous pro what you think is the best ?
I'd honestly go for this! I love my Intuos Pro 16 but this is a great tablet.
Hi, I'm completely new to drawing/graphics tablets and wanting one for my daughter. Can I ask do you need a pc or laptop to use this tablet? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Yes you do Holly. Think of drawing tablets as 'fancy monitors'. You have to plug them into computers.
Will you review the upcoming Huion Kamvas 13 (non-Pro)? It also can operate with Android and have a new pen tech that its nibs similar to Wacom now. This model is gonna compete neck-and-neck with Wacom One.
I would be more than happy to review that. I've reviewed Huion in the past. I'm just editing a quick Huion video right now as it happens - stay subscribed for that!
Is the Wacom One actually compatible with the Pro Pen 2 from Wacom? Never used a Wacom products, so i am not sure how their pens are interchangable.
No it's not. You'll have to go for one of the recent Wacom Cintiq tablets if you want the Pro Pen 2.
I have an iMac + an Eizo monitor that is turned upright and the Wacom one. If I edit an image in Photoshop, can I have the photo displayed on the Eizo and the Wacom one at the same time? If I synchronize all screens then I have a problem with the Eizo turned upright (means only a third of the screen is used) And also I no longer have my tools separately on the iMac screen - Or do I always have to move the image on the the screen I want to edit it on?
Nice review! Just a little advice, avoid the very slow talking. The way you talk in your conclusion is perfect.
I take my time and consider what I say. I dislike videos where the reviewer talks too fast and doesn't give you the proper chance to soak in what they are say or give thought to what they are saying themselves - often simply repeating a hastily written script. In our field this is done because these people are not professional artists giving honest advice for fellow artists.
I know some people would like me to talk faster but I'm not willing to change my persona (or my opinions) to quickly gain subscribers.
Sorry if that's disappointing but I stick to my guns with that one. I make long form reviews for professional digital artists and as a working professional freelance artist rather than a sponsored full time TH-camr, my videos might be a bit rougher around the edges than some other peoples but mine are 100% honest and I'll get you there in the end ;)
P.S. You can click the little cog in the bottom right and watch it on x2 speed if that helps!! haha
That would be too fast though. Haha! I respect you bro. More vids and more subs for you!
Thank you for the answer.
The difference between the screen gaps(laminating)
when drawing What about compared to other products?(ex:cintiq , ipad pro series)
considering buying on this product.
I hate doing comparisons just because there are so many differences I'd be there for an eternity and it's like a vs battle were the only real looser is the referee. haha. The iPad is a different thing because it's an all in one - but be aware that it really only has one good app for it. Procreate. The iPad is not a real computer. If you are looking for a drawing tablet then it depends on how far along you are with your art journey. I always say go with the best you can afford and trust your gut BUT I do have two bits of advice. Firstly, the pen is the most important part - don't pick fancy dials or any other feature over a good pen. Second, get the biggest screen possible because the UI takes up screen-room and the more you grow as an artist - the more screen space you'll need too! Good lock out there & watch your six ;)
I have this display and should I get a screen protector? I’m worried that someday it’ll get scratched…apparently, Wacom doesnt sell screen protectors…why is that?
I've been using Wacom tablets for years and never once needed a screen protector. Saying that I don't use them on my phones either. I'm just careful and don't push down like the Hulk. lol. Using a screen protector can give you a tiny insignificant almost immeasurable amount of parallax and that is still enough to trigger some folks - probably the reason it's hard to find screen protectors for most tablets.
Very informative, thank you. I have a XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro display graphics tablet, it is a very responsive piece of kit, gorgeous for drawing on. I'd definitely recommend going for a pen display for drawing rather than a normal tablet that you can do other stuff on.
The XP-Pen is only about $450 and definitely gives the comparable Wacom a run for it's money. the wider colour gamut of 99% Adobe RGB and laminated screen.
Wacom really did want to make this their 'budget' tablet. It was strange at the time but now it has been amazingly awkward as they have failed to release almost nothing.
Did you notice any lags while using phone with this tablet? or is it as good as using the pc or laptop?
No lag. My phone is nice and powerful to be fair. Though I did draw on it for a good hour or two and not a problem. Plenty of layers too. I was conscious that it was a phone though so I kept my file size to 1920 x 1080 100 dpi and closed all other apps apart from screen recording.
hi Lawrence and happy new year 2020 .i Have a question but this is not related to wacom one but wacom cp 24 and clip studio paint. I wanted to know if It is possible to buy my wacom then bring it to a clip studio store to have it installed by an expert? someone in France will buy me but I do not live in France and I would like to receive it with everything already installed
It will be on their Clip Studio account with their email address. They will own it. The same with Windows that is set-up on that Cintiq Pro 24. You would be much better off, resetting the device and putting your own software onto it. You can use the software that is on it but you will have no control and who ever owns those accounts can lock you out at any time from the Windows website or from the Clip Studio website.
It's really easy to install the software. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to go to the website and get the download. You can even Google it and it will take you right to it. Hope that helps.
Happy New Year to you too Hamatos!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW BIG THANKS !!
i would love to see a full version of the art work process
It will happen. Stay Subscribed!!
sorry I want to ask, what application are you using?
It is Sketchable. I use it in a lot of my videos and you can check out my playlist for that. You can grab yourself a copy of the app from the Microsoft App store. It's pretty affordable compared to other drawing apps out there!
Can this tablet run on USB power alone like the Artisul? I plan on giving away my Artisul to my little sister and buying a new tablet for me to use.
If I do the full stand alone draw test I will also add a test of that to the video ;)
One question: is it possible to mirror to a larger external monitor for full image view while working zoomed in on the tablet for details?
If you mirror a larger monitor then you'll see a smaller version of that screen. You can zoom into your art on the tablet but that will always be mirrored on the screen & vice-versa. Best to treat them as two different displays because they are most likely two different sizes.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW thank you for the response. after thinking about it, I realized that i can probably extend the desktop and create a duplicate window in PS to work on details.
Exactly! Good luck Matthew :D
Does photoshop and adobe illustrator work on this Wacom?
Just like a monitor, it will work with any software you have on your computer as long as it is up to the task!
Hello good review Ive started my digital journey last year and ive been drawing on my small phone and a pen tablet and then ive got the chance to buy a cheap android tablet since I can't almost see what im doing on my phone for now I have no money yet and if I go for a upgrade should I buy a Ipadpro with an apple pencil, or should I buy a cheap laptop and a wacom one or should i buy a macbook, macbook is kinda pricey for a beginner like me plus i have to buy the photoshop too im an aspiring concept artist and im doing some work now to be put on a portfolio and get a job so hopefully someday I can buy some new equipment cause the lag on my cheap android tablet is so time consuming.
Lag is caused by crazy brushes and number of layers. Delete everything off your phone that doesn't need to bee there - apps, photos, junk, everything. Close all other apps while drawing. That will help with your phone lag.
I give two bits of info about picking a tablet. Go for the best pen tech available. The pen is the most important part of the tablet. Also go for the biggest screen possible because UI takes up room.
If it's about getting a job then you need a real computer so you can train yourself in the applications like Adobe that real studios use so you can add those to your CV.
Hope that helps!
Yes you're right when I'm using texture brushes I really get big delay and since I'm using a marshmallow android I think that's a plus on the lag too. Thank you for the advice hopefully I can apply it someday.
Happy to help & thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment. Really means a lot.
Cool content sir it gives me more knowledge on what tablets should I buy someday, really informative. Thank you so much on the information keep sharing. Considered buying this one someday.
Thanks @@unknovvngenre155 ! Let me know on Twitter or Facebook if you do @LAWRENCEcanDRAW ;)
what application did you use to draw on the video???
how do you get it to work on both monitor and tablet at the same time?
Is it possible to import videos to the Wacom tablet and insert animations done on it, you think?
im still waiting for an iPad Pro cheap alternative. Requiring PC is really so inconvenient when you are going places.
Well there are cheaper alternatives but they don't have iOS so you won't get Procreate or the Pencil which are the only two good things about the iPad... I can be harsh. The Samsung Android tablets are cheaper for example. If you need a Windows tablet then you might run into budget issues but at least you could get something a lot more powerful and that can real applications like Painter and Photoshop.
I left Apple as a user for 20 yrs because they refused to put pen and touch on all devices. Real shame. You could be waiting a long time if you want iOS or a really strong alternative on that. PCs have come a long way for artists and creatives though. 2-in-1s especially but I will say that budget versions are very lacking because a good GPU costs money.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW
I'm not really after an iPad Pro, bro.
Just something like it where it's a tablet that I can draw without PC. There some like ex. Wacom Companion but it's too damn expensive.
I also don't care what OS it is as long I can draw like how the performance of an iPadPro. I can compromise a bit of performance as long it its around $400~500 mark. $1000~2000 is too much for a starting artist.
This looks amazing, but I already bought a Small Wacom Intuos. I'm still starting off, though I'll definitely try to save up for this.
Your Intuos will probably last you until you get up to a Cintiq 16 or 22 ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Cool, thanks for the reviews!
Any time @@tacticalturret505 Thanks for the support! - Spread the word :)
Just ignoring the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro & the Huion KAMVAS Pro 16 tablets with that "best at price range", which are both better than the Cintiq 16, let alone something I assume is a more boiled down version of said tablet.
That said tablet uses the Pro Pen 2 which is a superior pen to that of any of the tablets you've just mentioned because of reasons such as rotation, hover, tilt, pressure variation etc. Plus screen differences etc. It's nice to see though that the latest Huions and XP-Pens are getting nicer screens but they still haven't cracked the 'pap'er feel texture yet. I'm not going to make a video that compares a tablet to every tablet one by one and personally I hate mentioning other brands in a review. I believe I did it once here and that was only to talk about the Android capabilities as that is a new feature to tablets. When it comes to budget tablets though, yes they all start to look similar under a certain price. They all have 1080p screens etc but having one with a well calibrated pen that feels really good and comfortable to use for hours on end makes a lot of difference.
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW While what you say is mostly true, disregarding other brands in a review in which you express a tablet to be best in price range is disingenuous. The two tablets I mentioned were mentioned due to their clearly superior screens, with a high colour range, laminated displays, inbuilt shortcut keys etc. The nicest pen in the world won't redeem a parallax-filled, poorly calibrated screen. All I guess I am saying here, is that a review is no where near as useful if it has no point of reference to it's competitors.
Have you used all three of those? Because I have an Artist 15.6 Pro and a Cintiq 16, and the latter's miles better to draw with, lack of shortcut keys aside. XP Pen has a weird and awkward feel to it and much more limited software.
There's nothing 'disingenuous' about my review at all. The quality of a pen is a superior feature to that of the screen. That is my professional opinion as a professional who works in the industry and has over 25 years experience with drawing tablets.
I mentioned the fact that the screen of the Wacom One is coated and not laminated unfortunately and that this was a drawback. I mentioned that it didn't have hotkeys ...but rather than say 'don't buy it' I said 'here is a way of solving that problem with a remote' (or even a cheaper alternative). I work with ALL of these companies as a consultant to make their products better rather than simply badmouth them in reviews because that is simply negative and pointless. It would be of little help to anyone.
If you look at the chart I created in this review then you will see that you probably fall into the center category of hobbyist. Correct? Meaning that this tablet isn't right for you. But you are the kind of user that likes hotkeys so I would probably recommend the latest XP-Pen. However...
It feels to me as if you might have liked me simply to have said 'don't buy the Wacom One, buy a Huion or XP-Pen instead'. That about right? That's how this kinda feels. There are Wacom haters out there - I really hope you're not one of them! There's better things in life to get hung up on ;) especially at your age. Experience says Wacom haters are mostly people who can't afford Wacom and have never even tried Wacom so don't really understand the difference in quality (or who have had a single bad experience). That's why I always make sure to review all brands. But I never like to mention Wacom in a Huion review or vise versa. I also avoid the term 'Wacom Alternatives'. I am a natural complainer and that's why I work so hard to not do it online. That's why I go out of my way to work with the companies to make the tech I use better by giving feedback and beta-testing.
Any time I get criticism from someone on how I make a video I always notice it's someone who doesn't makes content themselves. However, I see you do have a channel - congrat's on that! So how about it? Step in front of the camera(phone) yourself and review a tablet. Whatever tablet you're using now. You seem to have good linguistic skills.
Hi @@TheCSJones, Wacom does have the best software. XP-Pen is in 2nd place I'd say with theirs. I can't understand why everyone can't manage to have good software these days. Especially since you can make a phone app in 10 minutes. lol.
Yes! I've tried them all. They are all very distinct and different to each other and I wouldn't pit them as direct comparisons because some people wouldn't want a 16" but would want a 13" and vise versa. The size difference there is quite big. I get asked to do comparison videos all the time and never do them because I don't want to get in an endless cycle of doing them and it's always going to be an argument over which tablet is the winner. People get very protective over their tablet brands - like they are shareholders :O (Wish I'd of got shares in Wacom back when I got my first tablet).
My universal rules for picking a good tablet are: Go for the best pen tech and the biggest screen you can get. It's that simple. If you are stuck between picking between a few of them then read all the specs, watch reviews from real artists who actually use them (and not just unbox them) and then... follow your gut instinct.
So it s not a stand alone display monitor like ipad pro or Microsoft surface?
Nope. It's a drawing tablet. That way you can upgrade your computer and keep the tablet or use it with your computer and your phone. It's a different type of device. Not an all in one. Drawing tablets are more common than all-in-one pen tablets - they offer you more flexibility. Think of it like building your own PC rather than buying off the shelf ;)
Hi, I've had this display tablet and it works just fine as I expected.
Anyhow, I am having trouble to change the brightness setting of this display, on my mac os. It just showing, "Compatible display device not found".
Can this display tablet brightness be configured or not???
Have you downloaded and installed the latest drivers?
what other stylus does it support? Does it support the Wacom Art pen or Pen 3D?
Hmmm. I haven't tried my old Art Pen. I might do that if I release the draw test as a tutorial - stay tuned! However the Pro Pen 3D works with the Pro Pen 2 so that is a hard NOPE - I actually did try that one!
Can you use the better Wacom Pen with the Eraser/dual button on this tablet? I still feel that at the price-point, they could have gone with a laminated display, but then it would cut out their Cintique line, probably the only reason they did not.
Just the pens/brands I mentioned Matt but you can use this pen on the Samsung Note if you use that phone - which is a decent enough added bonus. The Staedtler Norris is a great feeling pencil to use. It does feel like a real pencil - best I can do for ya!
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW appreciate the response! My issue is I'm looking to pick-up a tablet for sculpting in Blender, so ideally need that '3 button mouse's effect. Was hoping this was gonna be my tablet 😂
Hi Matt, then you need one of the current Cintiqs and a Pro Pen 3D. Hope that helps!
My xp-pen artist pro 15.6 broke after one ur of use and I wish I had just gone for wacom one... how much I regret that ... I’m getting this one it’s a downgrade in the color accuracy but I feel more at ease with this, I’ll save up for a cintiq probably a few months I just really can’t afford the cintiq 16 but I can go for this I gotta work hard to get that cintiq 16 or do u suggest I save up for other cintiq?
I believe this tablet is ok for professional work?
I could 'get away' with using it if I had to. I wouldn't want to use it long term though. I would need a larger screen. That is my personal opinion for my type of work. I don't know about your work of course.
Sorry to hear that your XP-Pen tablet 'crapped out' I take it that they refunded you or offered a replacement?
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW I do need a larger screen so I'll save up for now and get the wacom one, thanks for this review!
the experience is terrible in xp-pen, yes first time it was amazing, i praised it so much but this isn't for long term. the screen protector is easily scratched, very uncomfortable to work in. it gradually starts glitching like, you have to setup the settings every time you use it and even after that you might need to re-connect it if problem pertains, and service is also terrible. I didn't get a refund/replacement bc it broke after the warranty expired, it was only a 1 yr warranty getting it fixed out of town means paying a lot so I'd just buy a new one
and changing screen protectors from time to time is annoying and cost it's like gradually paying too lol now I learn to get the best
Screen protectors suck altogether. I just hate them. I would rather spend more money on a different device than ever use one. I've tried it, I've talked about them and they still make me sad. Can't do it. Sorry.
Idk why an android would need glasses but I loved it anyways. Amazing work.
They get old just like us! You ever read about the Hubble Telescope? Really interesting story. The mirror wasn't perfect and the pictures were out of focus so they sent a shuttle up there and fitted an extra piece which were in essence... glasses :O - check out some of the videos about that here on TH-cam.

Hey Lawrence, this IS the best Wacom review, no lie:)
€399 vat included in europe, at €330 ex vat a steal! The Wacom Cintiq 16 now €455 ex vat with 5 year guarantee, i think i'm becoming a Wacom fanboy;)
BTW, good to see they'd finally let you out of that Chinese hotel room. After waiting in vain for those Lenovo adventures you promised us, i hope they'd let you keep all of your organs,lol.
Haha. I will finish editing all that stuff :O Sorry. Been busy - feel very guilty about that! Half way there!
Wondering if you can download sketchbook pro or is there a app close to that where I can put a screen shot of a photo off the internet and use layers to trace over the screen shot photo ?
You can do that in any app. Just copy and paste your image in as a separate layer. However, you'll never be a better artist by tracing. Just keep them side by side and do your best to replicate the image.
Thanks for the video review. Left handed artists unite!
Indeed Ray. Thanks for Subscribing! Spread the word :D
Lets see that ergotron mounting video! I'm excited to see what you've came up with
I will make that happen as soon as I shake this cold!! :O ughhh It's already done.
for me, I suggest getting a Cintiq 16 instead of this. for hobbyist , hey like the old saying, there's alway room for improvement but first you gotta need the room.
That's why I work with a lot of great software & hardware companies and make TH-cam videos too. I beta-test, give feedback and work as a consultant. It's nice to see my ideas implemented is actual devices and software that I use to create my artwork.
I do believe that I said in this video and lots of others that the minimum size for me is 16" too. I use a 32" and the bigger the better. UI takes up a lot of room!! But the draw test proves that you can create good artwork I hope. I said also about touchscreen. Even my 4 yr old knows that all screens should be touchscreen by now! It's just quicker to work on. However there are about 5 comments on this video about how people REALLY don't want that. So I do think there should be a quick on/off button too and I have already suggested that to a couple of my favorite companies ;)
@@LAWRENCEcanDRAW Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes. no harm getting a touchscreen to increase productivity indeed, but it comes with a price for some items which some may underutilized or be put off. I am active in this because I would like to know more about the Cintiq 16 as I like to sketch anime style (still learning how to color) but I feel restricted drawing on an iPad Pro 9.7" and disconnected when using an intros Pro M. Although the iPad Pro is technically great but lacks workspace and inefficient to work on when I want to draw comfortably. (I applause those who really can get it done on an iPad Pro). I would like to ask if the Cintiq 16 can be connect via a TB1 to HDMI connector to a MacBook Pro 2012. Also for curiousity, does drawing on a big Cintiq ie 32" ( not gonna buy it) need more hand movement to get the same line in 16" which I guess would need lesser hand movement because I cannot decide between 22" and 16" (non-pro version)? although generally speaking the bigger the better My take on this is the big Cintiq are suitable for styles that draw lines with generous strokes. unlike more technical drawings like anime style which I think a 13-16 " would do.
Love the art. Another great review.
Thanks Stansla! Spread the word ;) Share a vid!
What is a name of the draw software you use please ?
Haha. I am sure I must have put that in the comments a bunch of times? No?? Sketchable!! It's really good, affordable and you can pick it up in the Windows app store to download - have fun S7PT and let me know what you think!!

Amazing art there. Thanks.
Can it be used wirelessly and does it work with Mac ?
No to wireless. Yes to Mac. ;)
Thank you for the review! This will be my first drawing tablet :)
Always happy to help Princess! What are you drawing with at the moment and how long have you been drawing for?
Lawrence Mann I normally draw with micron pens and paint with watercolor:) I’ve been drawing ever since I was a kid. I’m hoping to get into the animation field and needed to pick out a drawing tablet and this video helped a ton!
For animation I normally suggest a 16" tablet minimum. Check out my latest video on the Cintiq 16.
do the draw test full video. also could you test if this works using a powerbank? maybe using this with a power bank and a laptop thats running on battery power? I'd like to see if this is a viable option for a totally mobile-ish setup.
Yeah, people are asking about that! It's gonna have to happen now - stay subscribed!!
I have a question: if I were using this with a android device since it doesn't have any hotkeys would there be anyway to zoom in and out on a app like let's say ibis paint?
As mentioned, you can use the Wacom hotkey remote or check out my playlist on hotkeys for alternatives! :) Hope that helps!!
Oh yeah also tho I contacted wacom for this and they said the desktop-like mode for the android phones was made by android and when your in that mode you can use the phones screen as a touchpad pretty neat
In which program do you draw on the video?
It is Sketchable - I have an entire playlist on the app :D
I would love to see the full video of this piece!!
What app did you use
Correction: You say this pen is the "best in terms of specs with 4096 levels of sensitivity" but both Huion and XP Pen have tablets in their Pro series that have 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity with laminate screens and they're currently available for cheaper than the Wacom One. I'm not trying to start a brand war but just pointing out that, at least on paper, it seems you can still get better specs for less money with Wacom's competitors. Of course, it's totally valid if you just prefer the drawing experience, customer service, or drivers of Wacom.
I believe I said the Pro Pen 2 is the best for specs :)
wacom one and huion camvas 13 which one is good brother
I'm liking both depending on who it is for. I gave my son the Wacom One for learning on. You might want the Huion if you are a bit more advanced.
can this mirror onto another screen or can you use it to use drawing apps on your PC?
Just like any other monitor it can mirror - yes!
