I'm trying to get into drawing on my computer and I'm having a tough time on deciding which one is best for my very first one. I have small budget which is between $15-$25. I've found some on Facebook Marketplace and I need help on which one is better. These are my options: XP-Pen StarG640 ($15) Wacom Intuos 4 Professional Pen Tablet PTK-440 ($25) HUION inspirory H1060P artist tablet ($25) Veikk A15 Digital Pen Tablet ($25) Thanks advance for any advice!

I'm searching for the dimensions and hole positions of the NZXT H7 Flow panels (left, right, top and front) to apply a Vinyl Wrap Skin to the case. Do you know where I can find the drawings of the case panels? The manual of the case on the official site doesn't have detailed dimensions, and I wasn't able to find additional resources. https://www.datocms-assets.com/34299/1653378210-case_h7-flow_digital-manual-en_pdf_2203.pdf

So I'm trying to find an alternative to the built in Sketchpad app that came with windows 10 until 1809 (this:) Problem is they removed it if favour of Microsoft Whiteboard requires a microsoft account to use at all... I'm looking for a simple drawing app that has support for the surface pen (and eraser). Problem is every app I find either doesn't support the pen/eraser or has the most needlessly overcomplicated interface and 12,000 (/s) different pen types etc. I literally just want something I can draw on occasionally to make notes of something or keep score for a card game.... Alternatively if someone know how I could try and transfer the old sketchpad app from 1809 to modern versions of windows. But I doubt it'll work properly as I think it's part of the ink workspace app.

Currently I am using Ubuntu as an OS is there a program for taking handwriting notes and drawing ( nothing fancy) like on an IPad I also want to lay my hand on the touchscreen and only the pen to be recognized as an input device ( just like on an IPad) is there such program for Linux and if not is there something for Windows thanks in advance

I have a friend's birthday coming this September and I would love to gift them a new laptop or tablet that has reasonably decent drawing capabilities since they like drawing. Need advice on some good ones for a budget of less than $200 if possible, I've been looking around on Amazon but it's tough to find one I'm looking for. It'd be great if it could run some low end Steam games like Portal and stuff since they're not a huge gamer.

In the world of computer peripherals that allow us to utilise our skills and optimise our workflow to the best of our abilities, such as keyboards, mice, and more esoteric pieces of equipment such as external keypads and trackpads. One quality-of-life peripheral that has come to light in recent modern times, the drawing tablet. A hard, capacitive sheet that accepts input, and can even substitute as a mouse. Today's subject is the Veikk S640, which I bought last year for £25.99, at the time, and to an extent, today, one of if not the cheapest drawing tablets available on the market. This tablet was marketed as an osu! tablet, and I spoiler alert, it is a damn good one. The tablet itself is fairly standard-looking, it is 6" by 4" in dimensions for the working surface area. The tablet also uses a non-detachable USB-A cable. It looks very basic, but that's what you get when you buy a tablet that is under £40. The pen is also fairly minimal, it has an understated design that I would bet would not look out of place in any work environment, apart from the two additional buttons near the tip. The tips are removable, but after a week of usage, I have not needed to swap out the tips. From tip to butt, the pen is 6" long. It also has the weight of a regular pen too, it's a well-built pen overall. For the drivers, I personally think the Veikk drivers are trash and thus refuse to use them. I instead use Hawku drivers, which are drivers that are optimized for low-latency input, designed for osu! gameplay. Inside these drviers, there are options such as setting the tablet area, buttons, and also enabling different polling rates. I personally have set my tablet area to be restricted to 1920x1080 on my 2560x1080 monitor, using the whole tablet area, and 1000Hz polling rate. My osu! sensitivity however is much higher and I never really find myself using the entirety of the tablet area anyway. First is a beatmap of Dragonforce's 'Ashes of The Dawn', one of the most crowded beatmaps I have played so far in my time picking up osu! You can see how accurate I am at utilising the pen's sensitivity to transfer between circles. I find the weight of the pen integral to the fast pace of the motions. 1.mp4 Second piece is the chorus for a beatmap of LOONA's 'Hi High', which is one of my favorite beatmaps that I have played over fifty times. I find the tablet extra responsive to where I need the cursor to go. 2.mp4 This last piece of gameplay, one of Dreamcatcher's 'Chase Me' is easily one of the fastest beatmaps I have played so far, it is super quick and requires a lot of jumping. You can see in the latter half of the clip below that I have to make some long jumps across, this is where those Hawku drivers come in clutch to help me aim where I need to. 4.mp4 This tablet is great, there's honestly nothing really bad about it, if anything. It's amazing value, the tablet and the pen are fairly robust in build quality, and the input for gameplay and drawing is immaculate. For the price, it's hard to reject it as a budget tablet. There's honestly not too much to point out in terms of bad things for this tablet. If I had to point a finger at one gripe, it would probably be the non-removable cable. Because of this cable, if it dies, the whole tablet goes down with it. It would have been amazing especially at this price to include a removable cable. But I do understand for this price why it was an omission, and honestly the price is enough of a pass for the cable. I highly recommend this tablet for any digital artists, osu! players, or anybody who needs/wants a more eccentric mouse input option. The price is right, the build is basic but decent, and the pen has a nice minimal design.

I made my account here several years ago and from what I remember there is a group of people on here that like anime so I thought I'd share it here. I made a fan animation for Cowboy Bebop, working on a much longer one (more then one scene) but decided to finish just one scene to get a feel for it.

Hey guys I would like to get your suggestions with graphic tablet would be a good coice for non-professional usage. Recently there are a lot of people using Surface notebooks around me, but I wonder if they can be compared to a "good graphic tablet" at all? Is the display similar or not that goo for drawing? Thanks in advance!

So I’m sick of using my iPad for drawing and animation. I want a portable laptop with a touchscreen that’ll draw nicely and run 2D animation software. I don’t know a ton about PCs, but I generally know what kinda processor and stuff I’ll need. Price isn’t too much of an issue for me, but I’d rather not go too far over $1000. I’d even get something used. Any suggestions?

Sorry for dumping this in General discussion. There is not enough substance for Tech News and this doesn't quite fit the peripherals section, as it is more about the review practices, not the actual product category. TL;DR: It is pretty well known that companies send out free products to YouTuber to review, some companies are very shady about their practices with it though, like for example asking reviewers to cut out negative parts. Giving a negative review may also mean these channels wont receive products from these companies, making it so some YouTuber reviewers will actually comply. This is by the way more of a text version of the videos linked below, I will give a bit more context, but watching these two videos will also give you the full story. Also, I understand business is business, but when YouTubers often don't disclose how they got the product, it's hard to gauge the accuracy/bias of a review. Some context: Drawing tablets are peripherals for desktop/laptop computers to better interface with drawing programs (and used for photo editing.. 3D modeling.. etc. too). These devices are connected via USB (typically) and use a pen to draw. These pens simulate a mouse, but with a pen. These can be a tablet or a screen you draw on (the latter being a lot more expensive). The biggest brand in this spectrum (with like 90% market control) has been Wacom. As with any product category, if you have one particular brand that does particularly well, there will be a lot of companies trying to do a similar thing. That is good, competition will only evolve the market further and will lead to good options existing. A lot of the 'Chinese brands' have in the last years used a lot of YouTubers to review their products, but apparently these companies have had some reasonably questionable practices with these reviews (in terms of censoring opinions). Video I will talk about: Professional digital painter Aaron Rutten (with a rather large YouTube channel in the artist community) has recently published a video called 'The Painful Truth About Drawing Tablet Reviews', where he shares his personal experiences in dealing with these companies. In his video, he talked about how companies would send 'art YouTubers' a drawing tablet/screen for free* and they just had to make a review on it. Simple enough, this happens in the entire tech review community. These companies would however require these YouTubers to show the review of their product to the company first, before publishing it. They would 'suggest' tweak in the review to make it appear less negative (sometimes also telling these YouTubers to give excuses for certain design flaws like a bad stand on a screen). Some reviewers might be inclined to do that, because otherwise they might not get products from said company again.. Apparently sometimes these companies would send out products for 'review', only to require the YouTuber to give it a '5 star review', which some of these people might be inclined to do because they got a free product (and the potential of more free products).. He later also pointed out he does reviews for Wacom products, which he also gets those for free, yet he doesn't need to censor/lighten his opinion upon their request. You could see this as 2 problems: - These (unnamed I might add) companies are trying to skew public opinion on their products - Reviews in this field are not as creditable anymore. You could add 'integrity of YouTube reviewers in this spectrum is going down', but the people that reviews these products often don't make a living reviewing stuff; they are usually creating different content that happens to make use of these drawing tablets. Other YouTuber opinions: This video will probably be seen by a lot more people in the coming days I suspect (being at 7331 views, 280 comments now), but at the moment some other YouTubers who reviews these items have already commented on the situation. Brad Colbow (Visual designer/artist, who also does many reviews on this stuff, including Wacom and other brand stuff): Brad has also done a response video today: He added some examples from own experience too. Some company sent him a drawing display to review, he noticed ghosting on the display and mentioned that in the video, this company later emailed him and asked him to remove that part from the video because they had tested their units of that product and had not experienced those troubles.. So their experiences apparently invalidate his experience - which means he should cut it from his own review.. in the company's opinion of course. He also talked a bit about receiving products for free while remaining unbiased and also about review embargo stuff - that of course also plays a role in a successful YouTube review channel. Crowne Prince (Animator, who has done a ton of reviews too): Of course the latter part of this comment is speculation, but the first part of it shows some shadiness around this. Conclusion: Seeing things like this going on, makes me appreciate how Linus says he reviews items from all companies, it also makes me appreciate how these companies don't try to censor the reviews. Reviews are there for a consumer to make an accurate choice in the products they want to buy, making your item appear a lot better in reviews will sadly help the product sell a lot better. The way these companies are treating 'reviews' make them seem a lot more like product showcases, where the 'reviewer' can only share their positive opinions on the products. When you Google a drawing tablet/screen that is not from Wacom, see it's half the price, see it has the same specs (these specs often are not the full truth) and only see reviews from people who got one for free giving it a glowing review.. That creates a bad spot to be in as a consumer. Sorry for the longer post, just had a feeling this has been going on for the longest time and I am so glad two of the larger drawing tablet/screen YouTubers have voiced their opinion on this matter. Just goes to show how critical you might have to be for some reviews.

Click here to view my build. This is my first personal build, I've built 2 PC's before but I only put the parts together not chosen them. My budget is $1500 $USD(don't worry about a copy of windows already have one, and I don't need peripherals I already have those) I'm fine with going up to $1800 but I would like to keep it as close to the $1500 as possible. I'm going to be using this rig for gaming (almost everything from Minecraft to Farcry 5 and Doom) and running servers(gaming and non-gaming) for my friends along with VR for myself later, and for my girlfriend she likes to draw and do photo editing (photoshop) she has a Bamboo pad she uses to do so. I am planning on purchasing more ram later on to get a total of 32gb but I'm sticking with 16gb right now to see if I need more or if I'll be happy with the 16gb. Also I'm only doing a single monitor for this setup but I do want to run VR games at a later date. I Do need a wifi card. Last thing is my case I like that when I get this Corsair case it comes with 3 fans and all the intakes (front, top, and PSU) are filtered. I Thank you guys for any help with recommending parts or changes! Key points Filtered case Overclockable (if I choose to do so) RAM? (Do I need more or should I be fine?) PSU? (Is it good enough?)

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a piece of software, with which I can easily write down notes and draw sketches. It doesn't need to have a ton of functionality, but should be free or at least come at a low price. WordPad, for example, works just fine when it comes to writing, but there is no functionality for drawing sketches of course. It would be a big plus if I can also read, edit and save files in PDF.

I'm on a budget of ~$100 but can probably stretch that to $150. Anyone know any good drawing tablets to use with Photoshop/Illustrator at this price range? Currently looking at Wacom Intuos tablets.

I'm doing a DIY drawing monitor: I've made some progress making the concept work, but hit a brick wall after knowing that my current tablet does not support screen mapping. Looking to sell my current tablet and buy the best tablet with screen mapping with the money I have. The stores and product pages I've looked at so far mostly don't indicate if the table/software does support it. So any suggestions on tablets which has this feature? Thanks in advance

Hi, my friend is an artist and she likes to draw and edit images an all of that stuff... So we were talking about her laptop and her graphic tablet, she told me that her laptop is turning off by itself and she looses most of her pictures. She asked me if I can recommend her a laptop that is in the middle range and that will be good for image editing and drawing on a graphic tablet. Can anyone recommend me something, her budget is about 300-400 dollars and maybe a little bit more.

Hi guys, I'm a hobbyist drawer, but over the last year, I've been built up an appreciation for graphic designs and illustrations. Now I want to give it a try and...possibly learn how to animate too. I don't really have a "feel" (if you could call it that) for things like the "pressure sensitivity" and "surface area" that would suit me. Any recommendation for a screen-less graphic tablet is greatly appreciated..thanks in advance

heyo, its me again! im back, and this time im looking for a good drawing tablet, as i have spent 70$ this year alone on buying notebooks, and am tired of having to keep track of countless pages, while also yearning for the ability to edit my drawings without the chance of ruining the original, which is not helped by the fact that i draw in pen... ive tried notebooks that turn into online images, but they never suited my fancy so here's the question, what is the best drawing tablet? my criteria: - needs to be an on-screen tablet, Not one that shows up on a monitor - needs to support adobe photoshop and illistrator - my max price is 640$, but id love it to be below 100$. Thanks! -GP
