    Game changer for anyone doing digital illustration

    As a veteran designer and marketer, I have previously had other tablets, but this is my first time getting a Cintiq at home, and it really is a game changer being able to draw directly onto the screen within desktop programs. I found it to be reasonably priced at $700 (I remember when the cheapest Cintiq was ~$2K!) and 16" is a great entry level size. I discovered my old Wacom pen was compatible with it too, and depending on the program you can have each pen remember a given tool, so you can quickly switch tools like you would by picking up a different item in an art kit. But the included newer Pro Pen 3 is definitely more precise. I recommend getting an arm to be able to adjust it as needed while also saving you valuable desktop space.

    Wacom is a revelation

    Coming from iPad Pro, wacom intuos 2nd gen and a Huion 19, this is a revelation. I was skeptical but it feels the most like drawing with a pencil on paper. No latency where there used to be some with iPad Pro with sidecar/astropad. Even the intuous and huion have more latency. The Pro Pen 3 is incredible, weighted and balanced like a pencil (identical to a blackwing) and the responsiveness on the screen can feel like a HB pencil with enough range on the pressure curve to get a nice brush like feel with painterly brush.

    Really great for professional work.

    The tablet that I use beforehand was a Huion Kamas 24. I've had that tablet for 6 years and it works completely fine the only problem was that it was too dang big. So I felt like it was time to upgrade and switch over to a more mid-tier drawing tablet at a smaller size. And I absolutely love it. The extra resolution and the color accuracy is what I was looking for. The only downside was getting used to the pen but after using it for a couple hours it didn't bother me anymore. If you have trouble using the pen Wacom definitely has kits where you can customize the pen to your liking. If you're a beginner or a professional in the art industry this is a must pick up if you're looking for something not too expensive but at the same time high quality.
