very clean format and to the point, great video as always sir

one thing I've noticed with my ipad (which I've had for 3 years) is that I've found myself intensely missing shortcut keys. Also 12.9 inches is not roomy enough for me in apps like Clip Studio where the UI takes up a lot of the screen. I don't really take my ipad out with me much either. I think my next upgrade will be a pen display instead.

I think iPad is a particularly good choice if you're serious about art but both value mobility and are also still a beginner, primarily because of Procreate which is a super friendly app that can let you do great things with not too much practice. Obviously, a completely serious and professional artist with years of experience is going to prefer an actual pen tablet every time.

Thank you! This is the most helpful video in helping me decide!

Addicted to procreate and its one time payment. Will get an ipadpro soon upgrading from my ipad mini 5. Thank you for this great review sir.

started my journey with a screenles pen tablet, than bought an ipad i missed the desktop functionality and bought a cintiq 16, now im mostly drawing with my 3rd gen ipad air :) im thinking to buy a new pro 12,9. I'm not a graphic designer nor a concept artist. decided that procreate fulfills my needs more than enough. And I'm also bored to be stuck at the desk in my room with the cintiq and all those cables omg :)

great review!

I have both, and what finally won my over to using the iPad as my primary inking device is the ability to pinch to zoom, move, and rotate. It just feels so natural. Great video with clear explanations

Very helpful

Hi thanks for this video. It's the only comparison video I found where you put two devices together. I'm struggling between iPad Pro 12.9 and Cintiq 16. I'm a little bit to the iPad side but my concern is most of the concept art especially environment art are drawn on a 16:9 canvas right? would the drawing area be much smaller on iPad than on the Cintiq 16 since the iPad is in 4:3 aspect ratio? But then I figured out that if I use procreate on iPad which has the minimum clutter of UI it seems that the canvas is not that much smaller than if I use csp or ps on Cintiq because those softwares have a lot of ui on the sides?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to open an image (jpeg, png) using a movie player on iOS that will give you picture-in-picture, so you can have a moveable, resizable reference image that always floats over your work, and not all that wasted vertical space as you demonstrated with slide-over. Or maybe we'll just make an app that does this.

Did you navigate the canvas in huion tablet through pen or through key board ? Seemed like te pen navigates

What size Huion display is that? Sorry if this was mentioned in the video, but I must have missed it.

the new xp-pen tablet 16TP 4K have touch screen rotate and zoom in zoom out! only for portability you will go for ipad! procreate vs photoshop? no question of all..photoshop all the way!

I have ipad 9 and drawing tablet xp pen star 03 + 22inch monitor + laptop, and I choose Ipad for daily drawing.. coz I love drawing on different coffeeshop or park, and Im addicted to procreate :)

On a 16” tablet, which resolution is bad with Mac - was it HD res? You mention this in a video I can’t find.. thanks!

Ipad 8 vs Huion Kamvas 13?

Hi Teoh, I have watched a few of your videos so far and they are all great. I Have two questions if that's ok: I can't decide between the new Huion Kamvas 16" 2021(not the 4k) to the updated 20" 2019 v3 to the 20" pro 2019 To the new XP-Pen 16" artist (the dark grey colour). I have an ipad pro 12.9 2017 but I feel its too small for me as a designer and illustrator. The 22" plus version of the Huion seem the best option but I don't have enough space for it with my 27" 2019 imac on the desktop. Which one of the 4 options would you go for (Or any other you might recommend)? I also wonder if you know if Huion plans to release a new 20" version of the kamvas 2021? Thanks in advance for your help. ;)

Does blooming affects notetaking on dark background on2021

Teoh, do the ipad pro 4:3 aspect ratio and software ecosystem are a big deal to decide between ipad and the tab s7 for digital art? Because i can't buy the pro, but i'm afraid to buy and don't like the tab s7.

I do not know which to choose. I'm going between drawing tablet or ipad for next year. I'm kinda interested in the drawing tablet more. You can use it without a computer. But I'm not too sure. Which one is best

In my opinion I prefer pen displays. What many have not noticed is when for e ample you are using procreate, turn off the smoothing and streamline options, you will notice the Apple pencil is the worst pen accuracy with software. I did the same experiment on my pc and Samsung tab, turned off the smoothing settings on all apps for Samsung , Ibis paint and infinite painter , wacom pens was more accurate without any smoothing settings compared to Apple. Procreate is what makes Apple pencil seem functional, so I will pick a screen display anytime for extra buttons and better accuracy than apple

i would say a ipad is better,because you can use it without a computer and if you want to use like photoshop you can share the computer screen on the ipad and have the same functions as a pendisplay

Let me guess, the answer depends on your portability need

Can you please tell me which model is the ipad you are using?

Very nice video! But I'm still wondering what would be the best for me. I am between the IPad Air 5 and the Huion Kamva Pro 13. I am a new product design student without experience with drawing tablets. The thing is that I will be traveling almost 2 hours by train every day for the next 3 years and I thought that the IPad air would be best because of the portability. Plus I have a student discount for Apple for which I get 100 euros discount on the IPad + 100 euros gift card which I can use to buy the Pen. With the discounts the Ipad Air 5 is the max of my budget, and can't even afford the IPad pro 2020 refurbished, only the 2018 one, would it be still better than the Air 5 ? But on the other side the Huion is still more affordable and seems to have more functionality. My only concern left is about productivity and quality. Would the Huion be that better than the Ipad Air that I could forget and adapt about the portability?

Can you make orocreate file into vector? To tranfer from AI

Which is better for sculpting ?

I'm a beginner please guide me

Wouldn’t sidecar make the iPad work the same as the other?

I don’t really think the iPad is that portable just because of the fact that it is in the end a fragile piece of glass and any screen protectors will decrease contrast or tamper with the display. And yes, the more you use the iPad the more scratches you’ll get that tamper with the display. So it’s really whether you want to have a tablet for all sorts of things or a tablet specifically for art

5:29 Which pen is more sensitive?

is it possible to connect ipad and work in procreate ???

It's 2023. One important thing regarding workflow for anyone using Windows considering drawing tablet: Windows changes their software year after year after year. So if you want stability you want Apple. If you want to relearn your OS every 2-3 years go with Windows 😂

I'm sure ipad is better but Im that one hater who just hates apple products 😂

Why are you comparing a standalone with a pen display? It seems like everyone is so confused about comparing tablets, because pen displays are called tablets and standalone art tablets are also called tablets.
