I followed Brad's advice 2 years ago and picked up a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite when it was on sale. Wonderful that the pen is included with the initial price! The screen is only just started to bleed light at the edges/be brighter than the rest of the screen, but it isn't even horrible yet. Clip Studio Paint has been lovely....except remember to cloudsync your work friends... Lost 2 years of art last month & I'm still emotionally recovering from that!!! Thank you Brad!!

Hello! What can you say about Samsung as a brand on creating tablets? I'm planning to purchase from Samsung in a budget as well. What should I expect on the long run, like lags or the tab getting slow and etc. Thanks

I've been using Wacom tablets (the old big Intuos 4 and a 13" Cintiq) for most of my life and they're great. Expensive as heck, yeah, but totally worth the price. Buuuut… as soon as a friend lend me his iPad Pro to test it… my god, I loved that thing so much. I saved and bought an iPad Pro 13" on 2018 and been using it ever since. And the best thing: since it's so super portable I can take it anywhere, which ended up in me drawing a lot more, but also in shorter periods of time. Setting up the Cintiq on my old small desktop felt like a burden every time I wanted to draw. But just picking up the iPad and drawing for 10 minutes or 10 hours is so convenient.

Man i've always loved your work and it's really clear how much passion you put in these videos, and i can't find anyone doing what you do in such an entertaining way. However i hope i can express a little personal opinion on the characters you animate with adobe animator, because PERSONALLY, and i want to stress that 'cause it could be just me, but personally i find them really inexpressive. (Edit: maybe i found out why i feel this, and that's maybe because voice and animation feel really disconnected) I don't know, if someone has a different opinion and wants to share it with me, please do it, i want to hear other points of view. Anyway i want this to be a constructive comment, really i'm not hating 😁

I have 3. And I'm a beginner. I have Wacom Intuos Medium, a Huion Kamvas 13 2.5k and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2022). Why do I have these? I have the Wacom for ages, I used it for doing Whiteboard presentations over Teams for work. Then I bought the Kamvas 13 2.5k and it's amazing! And I love drawing on it, however its a little bit inconvenient. I need to tuck it under my desk when I'm not using it. So, I got the S6 Lite 2022 today! I have CSP subscription and it's the perfect casual drawing tablet. I have found myself just sat in my living room sketching and the CSP experience is almost identical to the desktop. It will also allow me to sketch on my S6 then finish up on my Kamvas.

Every newer wacom device I bought died not to long after getting it. If you get wacom get one of their older devices like the cintiq21ux. Those things are built like tanks. Worst was the mobile studio pro...loved the thing while it lasted which unfortunatly was a little less than a year. I had better luck with surface devices like the surface pro and surface book. Krita is the best. Use it at home and at work.
