They probs paid him much more to give their product a good review. ;)

@@Oozaru85 true, e.g. no comment about the (low) brightness xD I just wish Wacom would sponsor true artists like Xencelabs do. Wacom did have Eric Goldberg comment once, but the good times are over :/

@@graabein They dont need to. They arent a new company. They are an established brand that has been around long before all those other brands popped up. They are the industry standard. They dont need big names to promote them.

@@Oozaru85 Regarding well-respected persons, that’s true. However Wacom do mark their presence with different softwares, perhaps CSP being the most prominent one ;) The point I initially tried to make was just that it’s unfortunate Wacom currently uses so cringey names to promote their products lately. I admit it’s not a necessity to have a famous person to make appealing demo art. But Wacom currently showcasing kiddie drawings by self-proclaimed artists feels like an insult to the art community.

@@graabein An insult? Why? They technically support and sponsor these newcomers. Famous artist already earn a ton of money. They dont need these types of sponsorships. I think its a good think Wacom pay more attention to smaller artists. Saying thats an insult makes you look like an a*s, sorry.

It’s a sponsored “review” lol what do you expect?

We all know it xence labs are x Wacom 😅

@@karimroshdy6432Correct.

You do know that this "wacom clone" has people that worked at Wacom. Right?

Very few people have the muscle control to hold the pen at 1 g. I would guess the majority of artists are around 10 to 20 g at the light end. For a heavy-handed artist, much more than that.

@@VocalMike I'm not sure where you get that from... plenty of artists use pens and pencils for getting hair thin lines, hatching, light shading so they would develop that control easily. Especially light shading with pencil using circular side motions. Anyone who has practiced a value scale in graphite has this control, they're just making it less lifelike for professional artists (and 3g is on the upper end of bad, huion has 2g). People who are heavy handed usually death grip the pen which shouldn't be encouraged anyway, as well as faster wear on your pen tip and tablet surface. Not a good reason to not improve the pen IAF, if someone feels its too light they can turn up the sensitivity, but no matter how low you turn it down on a bad pen it won't make a line when it should like a real tool and feels much less natural. People who do stippling art I'd definitely recommend against anything with 3g IAF like xp pen.

@@lesnacke I agree that the capability for lighter is always better so you have the choice but that most artists would struggle to maintain a consistent 1g pressure. A 3-button pen is around 17g and you'd have to use muscle control to continually lift 16g to get a 1g on the surface. It's quite easy to measure one's ability by getting a kitchen or postal scale that measures in grams. When I try to draw at the lightest, I cannot maintain 1g consistently. When trying for 1g, I vary between 1 and 8g with most of the time around 5g. If I had to do that for any length of time it would be very tiring. Admittedly there will be some much more talented individuals than me who are more consistent but that is my experience. Remember too that the purpose of a pressure curve, which can be adjusted is to make it more comfortable to get extremely thin lines with less effort. If your natural sweet spot for drawing is say, 8g, you can adjust the pressure curve so that 8g will produce a very fine line indeed, without as much tension on your muscles.

Maybe next year hopefully :D
