[@bene_eins1308]

I think there are cases where gear matters: If you are a professional and earn money from your art, you rely on your tech. It just can’t fail. Then you should invest some money for good reliable tech. For hobbyists I think cheap tech is just perfect. Especially for beginners everything above basic is mostly too complex to get into it.

[@isakwondo3293]

So, I actually would like to add something important: if it's fine to start on a Huion 420, I would recommend to quickly switch to a BIGGER tablet. My best friend used this tablet for 2 years and literally destroyed her wrist. After seeing specialists, they told her the area is TOO small and the pen TOO heavy. So, things to actually consider when buying a tablet: the weight of the stylus and the size of the tablet. Specialists told us the best is to go to something similar to a piece of paper at least (so A4 in Europe) to make sure your whole arm is moving and not just the wrist. This is especially important if you're planning on drawing a lot. Using this tablet two to three times a week, one hour top is fine. More than that is actually putting a serious strain on your wrist, which you don't want if you intend to draw a lot. So please consider this before buying so you don't end up with a lifelong wrist injury like my best friend. The artist makes the art, not the tool. But your tool, as an artist is actually your body. So take care. Edit : it wasn't said in the video if I remember but the Huion 420 was actually developed to play Osu! (a rythme game) and not drawing in the first place. Which also explains why it's so small, as Osu! players are only using a small part of it.

[@isakwondo3293]

@Akari Chu mmh, you can probably still use the huion. As I said, the problem comes with how regularly you're going to use it. For example, the huion can make a very good travel tablet since it's very compact. Even tho, I wouldn't recommend using it too much, issues not only being the size but also the weight of the stylus. Then again, even using an A4 tablet, you can have health issues if you're not stretching correctly, drinking enough water or getting up every 40 to 50 minutes to walk a bit. Remember that your real tool isn't the table but your body. Your tablet is just an extension, an add on. If your desk really is to small, maybe consider also looking in organizers or ways to organize it in a more ergonomic way so you have the less strain possible when drawing. It might also help with your productivity! If you're comfortable, then you'll be able to improve/work faster, think of it like a sport. Better with good running shoes than converses, right? But you can get sores with both if used the wrong way.

@@simons5793 XP-Pen G430S or G640S Would be a modeo of a similar size with a much lighter stylus. They can even be used on your phone with an adapter if I remember well, but you still have the problem of their small size. The Huion HS64 would definitely be much better than the 420, for not too much more of a price. (I'm french so this can vary depending on the country you live in).

As a digital artist people often tell me that they wish they could have an iPad so they could draw like me. Smh you can literally use anything for art. As long as you're passionate and enjoy what you do, the tool don't matter.

[@muskie7450]

I totally agree dude! I have been drawing on my phone for 2 years now and am finally getting an Wacom Intuos Pro Paper edition next year. It literally depends on the practice you do and the skill you have to do it. The material really doesn't matter. It is what you make with the material you have available.

[@Hxrb]

I mean, it does matter tho. If you have good stuffs, you could do many things easier. Like the sensitivity of the tablet, not lagging laptop, etc. Yes, skill is the most important. But material does matter. Like, me. I love drawing things and digital arts. But what I have is only a mouse, not even a drawing tablet. IF only I have one, it'll make everything easier. Like, so so so much easier.

As someone who bought the second cheapest tablet, I find this encouraging. XD I'm definitely not aiming to be a professional, I just wanted to draw for my own sake and I was always frustrated with traditional media when it came to coloring. I just have to keep practicing!

[@aliyahpulido953]

You've got it! Keep practicing what you like and remember to push yourself just a little bit out of your comfort zone each time you try a new drawing! That way you can sharpen your skills and still test out new things and see what combinations you like (line work, shading/hatching, textures, different "mediums" aka brush types, even colors and palettes!) Don't be afraid to do fanart if you like, and don't let anyone tell you it's not real art! Also, check out artists you like and see what specifically you enjoy about their style. You don't have to copy it but you can certainly learn from it. (All this coming from someone who took a digital art class for fun, and is now testing the digital art waters too!) Most of all, have fun and good luck!

[@chuichiro0062]

[@aliyahpulido953]

@@chuichiro0062 Aww, thank you! I love to draw, but I'm often scared to show others my drawings because I'm always my harshest critic and there's always stuff I don't like about my work. But others will just see how much work and love you put into what you make. Because of my own personal fears and insecurities and sometimes low self-worth (in general and as an artist), I feel that ANY artist can use a little encouragement that I could use when I feel that way. All those things are words I wish someone had told me when I started really drawing in my very early teens when school sucked. I also love listening to LavenderTowne on KZbin because she gives really great art advice from when she went to art school, and she's very kind about it. She tells you how to build a webcomic or an art KZbin channel and get noticed, if that's what you want, or just general artists' advice. And again, she's super nice about it and not pushy or snobby at all.

Better tablets don't help make great art, but in my experience, getting an Ipad Pro has certainly made the process much more easier and enjoyable. Sure, if ppl are going to take the argument in that direction, there are a lot of artists who make killer artwork with just a mouse. But the wacom tablet just make the process easier.

Also the pen tablet connects so well with my laptop and I've learnt to appreciate my art supplies and work on my art skills.

[@thespectator901]

As a person that owns this tablet, as it was my first ever tablet, this thing is very easy to break, I gripped the pen a little too hard and it broke, but they will send you another one if you ask them, or if you unplug it to roughly it can damage the port, it sucks in durability, and is very easy to scratch. however, it is very smooth and easy to work with, and you don't have to have the pen driver to work it, I find that the pressure sensitivity is better without the driver. And I like the texture of the sltablet and it's very comfortable and easy to use once you get used to the bulk of the pen.

Exactly. It's really easy to break. I had to remake the money i bought it fromjust because of this. Complete waste.

[@noku1990]

[@bigmacreejr]

i used to own this tablet bought it for osu!, but it caught my eye with its drawing aspect, went to best buy bought a wacom 2017 edition of the intuos small, since then i still dont have a professional tablet but i weent back to hy roots with huion and got the huion h950p with tilt support and battery free stylus, been my main tablet for 2 years, would definitely recommend huion if you dont have the money for a wacom tablet, because huion has more features and bigger tablets for the same price, my tablet cost 80 bucks and is 2x the size of the intuos small which is 75-100 bucks, and has tilt support

Thanks for a great review. I just bought this tablet as my first ever writing tablet, and the small area takes getting used to.

Well, everyone learns at a different pace even if they spend the same amount of time practising realism. Another thing is that some artists prefer going with something more stylised than realistic, since that's what appeals to them. In other words, the excuses people have will be either "I don't like realism" or "I haven't gotten to that point yet", both of which are perfectly valid.
