[@sinixdesign]

Just wanna watch you paint all day.

His sketching videos has become what of am ASMR thing for me after coming home from work

Siiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnniiiiiiixxxxxxxxxxxx Legend respecting legend!!!

[@BD-xf8ym]

These and your Paintsploration videos are like cocaine to me

[@nerdygeekyart]

I could say the same about both of you!

[@eyjayy]

rly thoughtful review, feels authentic and covered a lot of stuff others dont

[@cue_ball_jamal]

Seems like tablet companies listened to your advice. I remember there's this huion tablet with half a keyboard attached to it. While I personally don't like that style, it's cool to see how these accessories keep changing

[@Eva--Valentina]

man man man, i can't get over the subtle pinks and greens in there

[@sonasome586]

I’ve been looking into this tablet. Glad you made a video for it.

[@aegresen]

I feel like it's supposed to pronounced 'SenseLabs', could be wrong. Regardless, seems like an artist would benefit quite a bit from this tablet since it comes with a great build along with a customisable remote, something Wacom is still refusing to provide[if anything they keep paring away the features that used to be part of the pack], at a lower price no less. I've been using my decade old small Intuos4 and if I were to upgrade, might choose this. Lastly, I wanted to drop a great big thank you to you, sir, since your tutorial on painting skin tones on Proko basically sent my projects to the next level; Marco Bucci and yourself have been a great help to get over my inability to understand colours and I've improved more in 2021 than in a decade of fiddling around.

[@veronicalala300]

Your sketches are so cool dude

[@arashi.nakamura]

Thanks for the review! I hope the new year treats you and yours well, cheers to a less apocalyptic 2022!

[@demnachung]

I'd alredy be using the Designer deluxe if it weren`t completely useless for lefties. We need lefty Devices. For those I recommend the Cooler Master Control Pad.

[@AhmedAldoori]

I was thinking about this while I was editing this video, would be cool to see a mirrored version of it for left handed folks

[@ygr2110]

Thanks for the recommendation! Immediately convinced by the design of the designer keyboard but unfortunately no version for left-handers. Same for the Razer Tartarus and the Azeron Cyborg… Except for the « space » key (not a real issue), the CoolMaster Control looks like a perfect solution, thank you again

[@Shimmergloom3k]

@@ygr2110 I just checked Azeron's page. It looks like they have versions for left-handers, but they are slightly more expensive.

[@ygr2110]

@@Shimmergloom3k You are right ! Don’t know how I missed it… Thank you for your message

[@kinjoestioko6519]

I love the half-sized keyboard. I wish I had one of those soon.

[@Ironwill_Games]

Can we get another sketchbook tour, video, dive like the first sketch video of 2022?! That be so awesome! Always a great insight to any art, tool, lesson and may you have a wonderful new year!

[@roninguts0]

I'm that weirdo that loves creaky sounds and loud keyboards, YOU CAN FEEL THE IMPACT!

[@UwuMushi]

Mini-keyboard issue is so relatable. Companies get it together already, and get rid of those useless side buttons🤔 Painting is breathtaking

[@Fazeshyft]

The pen registering as the eraser and needing a flip to reset may be a Windows Ink issue if you have that enabled. I get that all the time with my Surface Book.

[@AhmedAldoori]

Oh thanks for the tip! I’ll test it out

[@RaabStephan]

Did you touch on why you prefer tablets vs on screen drawing in a separate video yet?

[@bramblequeen7599]

As far as quick keys go, 3:44, I wish more people would make remote style ones like Clip Studio Paints Tabmate. My wrists get so sore using anything else. 😢

[@user-by4ru5pr1g]

He's BACK!

[@dampierre99]

I keep rewatching this video exclusively to study that part where you color and render that face

[@Jennifer-wr9si]

yea I don't get why they didn't make a large either...and Huion has, in my experience, little glitches on Mac that make it too annoying.

[@salman_shafi]

Can you please make some more sketch book dive videos please

[@didi7074]

I think the extra pen is for writing, maybe they noticed the thicker one has a problem with writing and decided to include both? Or maybe because some people prefer thinner pens

[@ejay3k]

Look at the Azeron Cyborg for a keypad, I love it and it's mega ergo.

[@dayosgfx]

Amazing review Bro!!

[@Rodutchi]

Ahmed how do you keep the refs on the left open with photoshop?

[@GXart]

huion wh1409 v2 or xp-pen deco pro meduim which one should i buy? please help me😴😕😕😕

[@boomi4782]

Papa Aldoori is back :0 !

[@replicant44]

why does it looks like the strokes are half transparent but your opacity isn't activated and is set to 100% ? crazy blending too idk if its the mixer brush or what

[@AhmedAldoori]

Pen pressure is set to opacity, so the lighter I press, the more transparent

[@AmazonRoller]

Hello fellow youngsters! Right now I am between buying a Wacom Intuos Pro M or a Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium. I've read many reviews from users that have had the Intuos Pro for a while, but I haven't read anything from Xencelabs long-term users. I was wondering if someone here has used the Xencelabs tablet for a while and could tell me how you feel about it... The pen nibs, the texture of the tablet, the drivers, etc. Thank you!

[@AhmedAldoori]

Pen nibs are great, haven’t had to change it at all yet (the Wacom ones wear down pretty quickly). The texture of the tablet is pretty smooth. The drivers are DECENT. I say that because sometimes (even with updates), it does this obnoxious thing where it thinks I’m using the eraser end of the pen. So when I’m trying to use any tool, it will only be the eraser. To “solve” it, I have to rotate the pen, tap the eraser to the tablet, then go back to the regular nib side. It’s really annoying, happens usually once a day. Other than that it’s a great tablet and I’m still using it

[@AmazonRoller]

@@AhmedAldoori Thank you for all that useful info :)

[@judgmentalshery]

Can you tell us what did you buy? I'm currently in the same dilemma🥲

[@AmazonRoller]

@@judgmentalshery In the end I went back to my comfort zone and bought the Intuos Pro M. After discounts, the Intuos Pro M was cheaper than the Xencelabs M by 50 EUR (plus it has the express keys included in the tablet so no need to buy anything extra)🙃

[@SweatiestDegree]

yo Meds, I know this is slightly off topic but do you still recommend the Kamvas 22? 2020/21 has been tough on my savings and I was thinking of making the plunge to upgrade from my super old intuos 3. Happy New year my guy!

[@AhmedAldoori]

Yeah it’s a great product still! My friend is using mine and he hasn’t had any problems.

[@peteruk65]

Just bought one, yet unwrapped, I’m hoping it will work with Procreate on my iPad Pro as Procreate is software I’ve been using for many years?

[@aishabah]

Did it end up working?

[@Imhimtheboy]

Where do you get your reference

[@miroslavkostov6403]

Thanks, man. Just a quick question, where did you buy your small keyboard from? Cheers!

[@iCamSkiEz]

damn can't find that mini keyboard review but i need that thing

[@dacs7533]

I’m here do not worry

[@omarolvera5440]

Thank you profesor almond

[@randyscalf6755]

Got question. I have a small wacom intuos tablet. I had all drivers downloaded including updates anyway every now and then i get a very strong and dark line while drawing then i have to erase it which becomes very irritating. Do you think you might know what the problem could be im also using photoshop cs6 kinda old now but i refuse to pay a monthly basis to them for a new program especially since ps cs6 works fine

[@AhmedAldoori]

Try turning off windows ink

[@randyscalf6755]

@@AhmedAldoori i did that and it still does it. Do you think its possiblu a pressure pad problem cause my bigger pad always worked fine guess ill go back to my bigger pad. Wish i could afford the real good stuff but im dissabled and cant afford that stuff. But i love drawing and painting. I airbrush portraits when i can get the word to folks hard when your dissabled and dont see alot of people

[@sensational4772]

how do you paint with your fingers!? I'm really curious

[@jern9076]

he probably meant that with a smaller sized tablet, his entire arm and wrist are stationary on the surface while his fingers (holding the pen) are pushing and pulling to create strokes. as opposed to a bigger surface where you have to move more of your arm to draw bigger shapes haha

[@MillywiggZ]

So, errr, that glove. Anyway you can send it my way? Legend tells that the spirit of ‘The Concept Artist’ is within. Hahaa! Seriously though. A phone app that connects to the tablet would work as a keypad. Maybe some phone case or something for a wheel. No one seems interested in developing this and my brain’s a potato so can’t do it myself. Screenshot this NFT I don’t care hahaa!

[@salman_shafi]

Nice

[@repeataftermeme75]

How’s the tablet, does it still work well?

[@AhmedAldoori]

Yep! Still using it today.

[@SilentTrip]

Really want to know why you like graphic tablets over screen tablets? I've noticed a lot of professional artists using screenless tablets and preferring them over the screen tablets...

[@01929u]

This may not be his preference, but my thought process on it is that screen tablets are sometimes a lot more stressful to draw on. I don’t know how to explain why but it just is for me lol. Secondly, sketching and painting with the screen less one is just a lot more comfortable as you’re watching all your movements on your laptop screen instead of your hand obscuring your view like it would with a screen tablet. Getting a screen less tablet may be intimidating if you’re just used to pencil and paper, but I guarantee that if you’re a person who adapts fast, you’ll really enjoy a screen less tablet. Plus they’re cheaper and can feel more like paper !

[@krsdivz2378]

did he just say he doesnt like screen tablets that much? i thought that was his main

[@AhmedAldoori]

Yeah man regular tablets are my jam

[@krsdivz2378]

@@AhmedAldoori wow. So nice to hear that! I'm a fan of regular tablets but people to get fed a lot by artists highly recommending screen tablets
