Do you need a Cintiq? Gaomon PD1161 pen display tablet review

[@kopori6272]

As an Animator and Game Artist, in my experience, Pen Display Tablets are absolutely worth it especially if you are all about saving time. Although not everyone needs to get a Cintiq (cheap models are now available) if you can cough up around $600 for one, the out of box color accuracy of a Cintiq is definitely worth it. On the other hand, if you don't care about color accuracy at all, you will be fine with any other brand.

I love how you put the Blow Us All Away whistle in there :D

[@FatCatsNRedBull]

it's the song but instrumental

[@khaiwillows]

I knew I heard that song before! Thanks :D

[@rat3905]

It set off my fight or flight instincts 😭

[@Fandirek]

3:56 Kenn you absolute madman, you almost made me spit out my tea :D

[@megashrek5059]

My friend was just asking me about the difference between display/non display tablets, this video was perfectly timed

[@hook2186]

This little "mama joke" in about 3:50 caught me off guard... Great video buddy, hope you keep up the great work! Have a nice day :D

[@Haggispk]

welp, new favorite channel I guess. love your style and subtle humor. and your line work is just *chefs kiss watched your "how to draw mechs" video first, then your sketchbook in 12, wait 21 hours. and now this one. Im excited to see what you release next, until then imma binge your older stuff :)

[@HazalElise]

during my internship i have to write monthly articles about whichever topic I want, and my last one was about digital painting. I talked about the differences between pen tablets and pen displays, the possibility to use your tablets and phones to start getting into painting digitally + apps and affordable programs one can use (: so this was very much fun to watch. as always, lovely video!

[@Vahnish]

For years I have felt that I needed to get a cintiq style tablet, and I just recently bought my first one, the Wacom One. I do not regret it. I've been using the intuos models for a decade, and drawing on the screen makes all the difference for me. But, I was someone who was frustrated by relying on hand-eye coordination. If I didn't just draw for a hobby, I probably would have bought a cintiq years ago.

[@saaqib_0252]

the only artist i am subscribed to on KZbin :)

[@Nemessiah1986]

Compared to all the other reviews i've watched today, your's was surprisingly touching.

[@SanaSamaha]

I've been thinking about getting a tablet to try digital art to help improve my art skills. Every drawing tutorial/study I see, they are always drawing digitally. Tablets can get pretty pricey. But so do the cost of canvases and paints when they're all added up. I'm hoping drawing digitally will help me actually complete more pieces.

[@lincolnjohn8227]

I stumbled onto your channel recently. Not only do I like your work, but I find your explanations of the art process to be much clearer than other art youtubers. Do you do freelance art work or do you have a full time job drawing for a company?

[@christineb1431]

I just like hearing your calm voice

[@elis.9862]

You're my favorite art youtuber and you're super underrated. Keep it up!

[@best_of_ant]

Thanks for making this video! As a traditional artist, I wanted to start doing digital more because the cost of the regular supplies adds up and that stuff. Plus, my sister was trying to do more digital art and so our dad bought us the Wacom Intuos. We were so excited to try it and well... While my sister loved using it for drawing I kinda felt it was a bit more difficult to use. I know it takes time to get used to something completely new, but in my experience whenever I tried drawing with the pen, my hand and pen felt disconnected within the screen and all. Plus, my hands can get super sweaty and so I had to use a winter glove, but it was so itchy that I couldn't wear it for long. I felt like it wasn't for me and so I stopped using it. I really want to try it again in the future, maybe we can get an upgrade from the Intuos to the Cintiq tablet and make it easier. I guess the Pen display seems easier for me to work on.

[@nirajbhatt7069]

Please make a video on what are the starter things/facts one needs to know when looking forward to digital art in future. And also when and how to start.

[@noobproofkyle]

Solid work my friend 👏

[@Helenkawhitedesign]

You might be the first person to mention posture when it comes to using tablets - and I am glad you do. I am thinking of investing a tablet, but as a beginner I am not sure what would work better for me, however I do struggle with chronic pain especially when hunched over my work. So thank you for explaining this. I am just wondering if I could used to drawing and looking at the screen. How long did it take you to get used to this? Another concern is also that I am left handed (though I use mouse with my right).

[@miggynoya5299]

This channel needs to blow up

[@Omikronik]

I've used a cintiq 22(non pro) and a currently using a Huion Kamvas pro 24 and honestly for around the same price i definitely recommend the huion for the extra 2 inches and the 1440p screen. Wacom isnt the only option anymore for good screen tablets

[@a.y.n.rupanddown5171]

Xp pen 12 is also pretty cheap (250$) and i know you can buy a tablet stand (for not that much). Also i have it without the tablet stand and i work on it a lot (and it is pretty good. I never used a different tablet so its hard to compare).

[@tuziart101]

*cries in the wacom intuos small T-T* Maybe I will be able to afford all of these one day T-T

[@thephilosopher5799]

Wacom small is still a decent pen tablet

[@ARGHouse504]

I started off with the ancient graphite tablet, then a bamboo, I hit an improvement with the older Intuos (the older thicker boy), I'm still using an Intuos medium pro, especially when I need to rest my neck from using my Cintiq.

[@Omikronik]

The pressure sensitivity is 8192 which at first sounds like a very weird random number its 2^13 which is a very good number for binary calculations in programming

[@jurgisstalma7201]

hi mr moma, i'd like to request a guide on how to practice drawing and various exercises to help beginners improve. im having a lot of trouble figuring out perspective into my drawings.

[@ekozoidmajiker6186]

do I need a pen display? YES, to recreate the comfort I had w/ Cintiq (when I was in College) at an affordable price

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

Feng Zhu has been in the industry for decades, has one of the most successful design schools, and still uses an Intuos 3. So you definitely don't need much equipment wise.

[@deonalovesblue4819]

Well I usually draw with traditionally or on my phone so I'm thinking I might be able to work out well with the pen display those are the cons (especially since I always have blue filter on one my phone)

[@fwsh_sprite]

I've been using my mouse to draw since my old tablet broke (( rip my intuos )) I think I deserve a bit of an upgrade because using a mouse to draw is a complete and utter crime against my hand so I recently picked this up since I've been wanting a screen tablet for years! And the price is reasonable enough for an entire ass graphic tablet safe to say I'm really freaking excited!

[@CeschiArt]

Even though I got used to using a 70€ tablet, my art quality in traditional is leagues better than my digital, i'm curious if it would help working on a display but still paying for the minimum is something I'm scared to try

[@best_of_ant]

I feel ya mate

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

It won't. If your digital is better than traditional it's most likely due to you still learning the software itself, and a screen won't help you with that much at all. You can basically use traditional tools just digitally once you know what you are doing and how to set things up.

[@CeschiArt]

@@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 Thanks

[@Yamagatabr]

Do you prefer or use it more than pen on paper for drawing?

[@lulu-nj6jc]

as soon as i heard the whistling i got excited XD

[@carlobagnasco5702]

Dang I’m not sad that you said this because it was such a good burn but dang what I’m talking about is when you said that your posture is better than the pole your mom dances on

[@g43654]

Kenn is: - Confident - Draws well - Lives in Singapore - Speaks frequently about fundamentals Surely, is he not a Feng Zhu School of Design graduate?

[@ChromaMoma]

too poor for that mate 😢

[@khaiwillows]

"Are you really gonna bring it outside?" ..... *yes whenever I'm forced to go Sunday school with all of my annoying cousins and on vacations- also damn you really just exposed us like that*

[@asquarephotography395]

One big dout...the tablet is working like a mobile without any connection or all time work with connection on HDMI

[@ninjartist36]

I bought a Cintiq 12wx for 100 GBP on CEX. It works with my Brothers pc, my mom's laptop (the most underpowered computer in the house) but my pc? doesn't even recognize it

[@kle2217]

Can you recommend a stand alone pen display sketch tablet? No computer or laptop needed? Thx

[@shrimpflips7140]

I like your digital art. So can u do more digital art?

[@-kurow-7113]

Some of your mech design remind me the work of the concept artist named Brian sum.

[@armandoguajardo4789]

I’m honestly down to star drawing digital

[@rooshi3701]

4:30 "It's gonna turn into an occupaitonal hazard" I mean, looking at your posture even without the pen tablet it's clear you got some experience behind those words

[@ironman127b]

What pen presets or pen setting do you recommend to recreate the hi-tech pen look on digital?

[@kangwambewe1405]

Awesome info

[@Bitcrossfire1]

200 I mean that's no so bad...I'll really have to look into this, if it helps me draw more...humm

ah man, seeing you draw at that aspect ratio where the softwares UI are covering 50% of the drawable canvas really isnt shipping me this. I get using a display for illustrators, but for general 3D modeling, an intuos is more than most people need. All zbrush modelers create their own macros and hotkeys after awhile, its just way faster to get things done. Pen displays also introduce heat to your palm, parallax mapping problems to the cursor and obstructed UI vision.

[@javaughnpendley463]

bro this dude spoke the literal child hood of anyone who wanted to draw digitally

[@tripletstriplets9133]

I know I’m late but I’ve been saving up for this because I don’t want to break the bank but I would like to know if I need to set it up to a computer currently I own one but it’s old and has lag and nothing opens up any more and I haven’t used it in years but I would like to use it just to draw normally not to set up to a computer

[@naztahir68]

Hmmm “occupational hazard” huh... are you a how to train your dragon fan? Lol :D

[@ArvinG]

Xp Pen Artist12 or this one? Which is better?

[@vish4617]

😊😊😊 nice review ❤️❤️🤩🤩

[@giuliartist]

it’s possible make zoom with the hands??

[@aldiergreen]

I wonder if the ones on ali express are any good

[@gothbunie4932]

Wacom One (not to be confused with one by wacom) pen display tablet is $400. They could've completely monopolise the industry had they made more affordable products years ago.

[@stayflight]

What is the verdict update to this product?

[@deletice]

got this one poggers

[@AccountingRaiding]

I found Huion is a much better "entry-level" brand. though they are a little more expensive.

[@ToonMouse]

What drawing software do you use?

[@urfavoritehumanbean879]

He's using Photoshop.

[@user-bi3xn8dj7y]

this is legit the tablet i wanted to buy of a website that sent me a toy tablet for kids never use dodgy sites lol 😆 no mayyer how good the deal is

[@ARGHouse504]

Looks like the Gaomon is good for taking out and about, I would never take my cintiq out with me.

[@piza_man]

hey hey

[@random_julian]

When you need to buy a new gear firs you need to ask people who use it, but also here are a lot of personal conclusions, it is hard to get an objective answer, but the key always it is patience, if you wish to save your money, second way it is to find yourself, buy it, try it like it or try it again until you will find the perfect one...In my opinion ipad pro it is the most versatile, also professionals gear, but expensive, also cintiq , i mean expensive, not so bright, and here is what you can do if you are at the biggining of the career: imagine you put an expert to draw something on this cheap Gaomon, i'm sure he can make some cool stuff on it, of course, he can also tell you the problems with tollerance, presure, screen, feeling, gap etc, but in the end he will make something cool, why? Because his/her mind it is trained already to draw, to make things look cool, to deliver what client expect to receive. So dears, the key it is expereince, you hours spended to discover, to draw, to try to make some projects, please save you money, work more and buy this gear and try to get the shit of it, after this you can buy something like ipad witch is nice.
