Artisul D16 Review - Watch this before you buy...

🎨 ALL MY LINKS ➜ linktr.ee/lucaspeinador
The Artisul D16 was a surprise...and not in an amazing way. If you are going to buy this tablet make sure that these problems are not a deal-breaker for you.
This is a review of the Artisul D16, a tablet with some pros and cons that I would recommend only to artists in a budget that want to start with their first display tablet.

That's hilarious, you had the stand upside down HA HA

[@LucasPeinador]

Man... I seriously was angry at Artisul for that stand...I realized like 2 days later 🤦

[@Zeithri]

@@LucasPeinador It gave me quite the chuckle :D

[@lauravturner]

When I see a title like that, I expect clickbate or exaggeration, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a good solid review. Thanks for that. Subbed.

[@JohnHoranzy]

I have a D22S with none of those problems. What are the specs on your computer. Emulating a 0.8mm technical pen, the accuracy with the pen is not there and I have to watch the cursor and not the pen tip. The tilt works but is very dependent on the program. This has half the price of a 22 inch Huion with tilt. I opted for size over the claimed parallax that Huion offers.

[@janthummler3548]

Thanks for the critique, I was considering this tablet as a first try on display tablets, but the wobbly line issue really put me of.

[@LucasPeinador]

hey Jan, yes, that was a disappointment for me too. Please mind that the tablet reacts differently depending on the software. I realize now that even the version of Photoshop that you are using could solve this issue

[@janthummler3548]

@@LucasPeinador okay, interesting. Might do a little more research, the tablet is on sale at the moment

Good luck man 👌

I have this in front of me right now 😅 Waiting for my laptop to charge to test it out.

[@LucasPeinador]

I hope you liked it, it is a bit clunky on some of the functions, on others it works great

[@tomthesmol9676]

nice review! thank you . Can you review the XP-PEN Innovator 16 ? I'm excited, I've been doing digital art for 3 years now and this is going to be my first drawing monitor. It looks solid, and now it's $499.99 INCLUDING the stand!

[@nikeanton7870]

Hey, I'm wondering and I thought I could ask. Is there a video of you making the painting in the thumbnail? I can't seem to find any that feature it, so I'd like to ask to make sure.

[@LucasPeinador]

No I haven’t uploaded... But I have it recorded so for sure I’ll publish it soon

[@nikeanton7870]

@@LucasPeinador Ah, alright. Thank you for answering. I'm interested in seeing how it's made from start to finish, as well as how the layers are like for it, so I'll look forward to it.

[@jbgra2566]

Thanks for the review. It's kind of weird that reviews on amazon of this product are really positive. But I'm not sure now. I was planning to buy the D13s. Maybe it's better than the D16?

[@whoulfe5854]

this is a professional review by an artist who has been doing digital art for 10+ years- so he's gonna be nitpicky about the functions of this tablet. I also recommend watching Owlsparks review on the tablet, as that is how it would work from an everyday-artist standpoint, or someone who does art casually.

[@user-hr9kc5vt9o]

Im pretty sure it has 8192 pressure level sensitivity for the pen. Check out the numbers their website. I also own this so I know.

[@lalalulauwo8618]

The buttons on mine suddenly stopped working and I don't know why or how to fix it .-.

[@Sarikha_15]

I feel like the build quality is a hit or miss with Artisul. I got one off these a couple years ago and it actually does not have the issues you mentioned. i've noticed in other review videos that the newer driver software looks different from the one i have. Also i recently switched to Clip Studio Paint and the line quality is miles ahead of Photoshop. In CS6 the lines used to be wobbly no matter what i do. But then my friend decided to try out the Artisul D22, which had just released at the time. It just did not work at all. She got a replacement and that one didn't work either so she just sent them back and decided to go with a different brand all together.

[@LucasPeinador]

Thank you for the comment. I’’ glad that your works... but I’m a bit hesitant to promote a brand that sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t 🙂

[@aubreyhenderson5061]

update i changed my mind it just took a little time for them to respond but they eventually did and helped me out. i was angry initially that the product i received didn't work but now the problems taken care of.

[@LucasPeinador]

That sucks.. sorry to hear that

[@MadokaMagica-mw5pk]

Hi can ask if you can connect it to android phones pls reply I need to know before buying

[@LucasPeinador]

not sure

[@MadokaMagica-mw5pk]

@@LucasPeinador thank you for replying, if you do plan to do a try out if it's works on type c android phones pls notify me, I need it for my study in visual graphics design in school. I don't want to waste my money that I have saved up for a whole year on something that can't be used in my study. Again thank you so much

[@meow-rp5bz]

I have this except it's so FREAKING BIG and I have a small desk. My pen does not work some days sadly, I wanted to try animating today but unfortunately it wasn't working. Normally resolves itself within a day though.

[@chimon5808]

you should restart ur computer

[@leathal_girl7124]

Is there anything i can download to fix the pen problems?

[@LucasPeinador]

You can use the smooth stabilizer in photoshop

[@LucasPeinador]

Or try with another painting software

[@leathal_girl7124]

@@LucasPeinador yeah, ive tried that but the pen has jagged lines

[@ashishhembrom3905]

@@leathal_girl7124 hey sorry you got the raw end of the deal there.

[@zooropa414]

I have this tablet and you exaggerated some stuff, as an animator many things you mentioned didn't effect my work flow and were totally blown out of proportion, I almost can't believe you're talking about the same tablet I use

[@LucasPeinador]

Exaggerated on the bad side or on the good side?

[@ryandoesartstuff9404]

Xppen isnt really a competitor, they have their stuff together, i mean yeah its about 100 dollars more but the quality is way better, except for parallax, seriously their old tablets were really bad for it.

[@dreamy3795]

I have the D13 version of the tablet, it’s pretty old since I got it a few years go; Though when I was drawing today the pressure sensitivity for my pen stopped and so did the hot keys on my tablet. I tried turning my table off and on,, and I restarted my computer and it’s their both still not working hhhhh

[@14isaque08]

And know? I'm gonna buy the 16 pro version...

[@dreamy3795]

​@@14isaque08 Well it works now, it might just be because my tablet it older.

[@theoooarts5232]

damn. where can I get this Cap?? yay Amazon Germany 🇩🇪

[@LucasPeinador]

hahahah I think it is from urban outfiters

[@xulse]

How does this compare to the Huion Kamwas 13

[@LucasPeinador]

You can watch a review that I have, but I personally would go with the Huion... I like them more

[@santakaya1806]

i buy mine in 10 octuber... until now they dont delivery to me... all brazilians who buy it have problems with artisul... they said to me to wait untill march... soo... is so sad...

[@LucasPeinador]

Sorry to hear that Kaya, I don't know about delivery problems, maybe it is because of the region?? Here I remember it arrived pretty fast, but I'm in Slovenia so it may be very different

[@mkrandy4804]

Does it need a computer or laptop to work, I’m looking for an animation device that dosnt require a computer lmao

[@LucasPeinador]

Yeah it requires a computer, but I recommend an iPad

[@Zeithri]

I did not get that kind of glove with, I got the other kind of glove. - I encountered an issue regarding "No tablet found" trying to install drivers.. Never mind the snake's nest of cables... And that I sit 2.5m away from my screen normally this is already becoming a problem, never mind the issue of just being bad at drawing.. I am having some serious buyer's remorse from having bought this.. I'll have to try it on my old laptop and see if it'll work there but if it doesn't, then I don't know what to do.- This was a good review however. PS. I solved my issue. Like an idiot I too, I had plugged the wrong end of the USB into the wrong spot lol. So now it works.

[@LucasPeinador]

Happy that it works, but yeah maybe it’s not the best tablet

[@Kyandiix96]

I bought it and I wouldn’t recommend it to others. There were lot of technical issues like incompatibility with softwares, having to delete other drivers, etc. The stylus is very light which may be good for some people but it felt cheap to me. Beware, no free returns ::((

[@LucasPeinador]

Sorry to hear that CC, and it is not a cheap product, so you kinda expect more quality in general

[@Kyandiix96]

Lucas Peinador that’s true... but it was cheaper than other competitors. Even so... I wasn’t expecting so many obstacles...

[@MelinaH]

Can you recommend a better pen display in this price range

[@Kyandiix96]

Melina H. Good question, I recommend the iPad Pro/air, although it’s a bit more expensive. If you would prefer to stick about the 100~300 price range, try xp-pen.

[@ralusek]

Do you know how much the situation has changed, if at all? The critiques here are quite damning to the point that I wouldn't consider it, but they've also had 4 years to make changes. It's just unclear to me if there have been any changes, since the product for sale still goes by the same name.

No, sorry. I have no contact with the updates.

You complain too much dude. Some of the things you're so critical about are not even noticeable when drawing. No tablet is perfect and I just bought this D16pro for 40,000 yen ( US$ 390 ) in Amazon Japan and its really worth the price. Its a great tablet and works well for me.
