"This cardboard" *looks directly at me* "smells really good!"

[@harveynewman]

:D

[@Gnomesaying315]

I went and bought one today based on your review! Thank you for taking the time for this review!

[@harveynewman]

Hi Geo. 👋 Glad it was helpful…enjoy it. It’s an amazing piece of kit.

[@NaPH273]

14:32 extra pen? the Cintiq 16HD comes with 2 pens?

[@harveynewman]

Hey Nam...no, my mistake. It comes with the one standard pen by default

[@stevebailey8538]

Can a Mouse be used in combination with the pen on a Wacom Cintiq 22 drawing tablet

[@harveynewman]

Ah yes, you absolutely can.

[@stevebailey8538]

Thanks for the update Love your YT site

[@kristeng3455]

This video is so much help. Thank you so much. Also your music is the best ever.

[@harveynewman]

Thanks a lot Kristen. Glad it was useful.

[@DougyFreshGames]

Thanks for the review, still debating if I should snag a refurbished cintiq 16hd or just keep my old 13hd tablet.

[@harveynewman]

Ah I found over the year that after a while the 13 feels quite small and having that extra room of the 16 comes quite handy. It’s the perfect middle ground. I also had a 27 but that did start to feel way too big after a while. Specially as it takes so much space in your desk.

[@ericr5561]

Just used your video to rebox our Wacom so I can sell it on eBay. Thanks for the video bro appreciate it!

[@copagoy]

I really want one but, I need to get serious about animating before I am able to justify buying it but, thanks to this lovely video of yours. I will defiantly get the 16 inch Wacom, Thank you.

[@harveynewman]

Ah yes, Animation is much more important this is just an aide for me to review animations and whatnot. But animation first...always. ;)

[@copagoy]

@@harveynewman I have a question regarding you workshop. Is it only for 3D or, would you help with 2D? I ask at the risk of sounding stupid since you are a 3D animator.

[@eddieandersson5570]

@@harveynewman So your're not going to animate on it? I see most animators do that these days, animate directly on Cintiq's.

[@ZahaviX]

Just a quick suggestion: Get a 48"x30" desk. It would be nice if you showed the USB-C to HDMI cable adapter you got.

[@CASMANWHAT]

how is it now? still good?

[@harveynewman]

Yerp still going strong and still loving it.

[@jjsmithlago1234]

Bruh I had a 21UX and only used the inside 12 inches of it of it. I'm never going back to a +20 inch tablet again. I'm glad you validated what I was suspecting I can pass on the 22".

[@harveynewman]

Glad it was useful bruh. Thanks for the support.

[@nando603]

Nice review!!! Thanks

[@ethira5014]

Cool video. I'd love to get one too. I just wonder what potential that would have for 3D artists/animators.

[@harveynewman]

Thanks Ethira...well many people use Wacoms to animate instead of a mouse as it gives you a much more direct feel...almost as if you are grabbing the controllers directly. I use it mostly to push my animations and drawing over them and also for reviews.

[@jakegevorgian]

I just discovered Wacom and I wonder if it comes with drawing software built in. Does it work on a battery/charge? Or does it have to be connected to power to work? Btw, I'm a NAS fan too 😊

[@harveynewman]

Sup Jake. It’s basically plug and play, so it becomes an external monitor once you plug it into your computer with drawing capabilities. It doesn’t come with software so you’ll have to use the software of choice like photoshop for example. Nas is like half man half amazing!

[@jakegevorgian]

@@harveynewman thank you, Harvey.

[@aey2579]

Have you ever used the XP Pen Tablet?

[@harveynewman]

I haven't unfortunately.

[@silvslivestreams5163]

Ooooooo I kinda want to use a Wacom Cintq someday. At least my Innovator 16 works well :D

[@harveynewman]

If it works keep going. ;)

[@RockPhonic]

The pen holder is on the right. Can you switch it to the left hand side if you’re left handed?

[@harveynewman]

Ah unfortunately you can’t. Something for Wacom to improve on that’s for sure.

[@alvion5442]

yes you can just pull it and it'll come off. and after that you can just plug it to the left side

[@eddieandersson5570]

@@alvion5442 Yeah I was just about to say I found it strange if they took away that ability from Intuos models that are reversible.

[@moustafaaltahi3765]

What type of adapter do you use on the computer when drawing on the Wacom tablet

[@Smuthole]

Finally a chill reviewer for digital art. Gonna sub for this one :) Tired of all the wannabe-comics reviewing these art boards. Also I'm ordering one now. I don't have a free HDMI in my desktop, but I got 2 DP ports free...

[@harveynewman]

Thanks Ruka. Glad you enjoyed it, more reviews soon.

[@diaiimagephactory8097]

Can you do a video showing how to configure the Wacom express key remote? Great content btw 👍

[@purplelitta]

Can someone tell me pros and cons between Apple graphic tablets and Wacom types? and Xppen ? I want tablet with a display, budget is around 400 - 500 - maybe ( 600 ) euros? And does it comes with integrated drawing programs ? What about Adobe programs or alternatives, which tablet can support which programs? Does graphic tablets with dispaly needs to be connected to laptop?

[@littleripper312]

Hey, how do you find the tracking with the pen tip and the curser? I'm currently using xp-pen and the curser doesn't line up if you change the angle of your hand from how you calibrated it or go to the edge of the screen. I also use ipad which is perfect so I'm having a hard time deciding whether to get this or not. After using the ipad I can't draw on the xp-pen because the quality difference is so big. I saw in another comment you use ipad, how big of a difference is the drawing experience in terms of accuracy of curser/pressure etc? Do you feel like it's a downgrade drawing on the cintiq vs ipad or not a huge difference?

[@harveynewman]

Hey 👋 yeah this is better than the xp-pen and more reliable as reliable as the iPad. When it comes to feel and accuracy they are pretty much the same however they are different in that iPad you never see the cursor and on the Wacom the cursor is always present. But you quickly forget about it. I do like the pen on iPad better. But I like the surface of the Wacom much better it has that nice paper feeling. Hope that helps.

Do you think this tablet is good for a beginner game designer

[@harveynewman]

Oh yes this should more than do for a beginner.

hello, does that pen recognizes rotation?

mine is all plugged in but it won't start up? any ideas as to power source? do these need some fort of special power source? I tried two diff. outlets man... and one it did nothing in, which my cell phone charged in but yet this won't power up. ??

[@richardforero]

Hey Harvey, thanks for this. I have a question and thinking of buying the cintiq22 or the 16 pro. I am CG animator first, so I am planning to have either option turned off and make them work as a intuos when I am animating in maya, and when I get to draw i will turn them on! My question is , the "new" cintiq 22 seems to have some old tecnology compared to the pro versions. but the 16" not sure if this too small for drawing, and the 24" it is just too big for my desk, how is this tablet for you (16) regarding animating and drawing?

[@3danmensional0000]

Hey there, I am a 3D animator and I have the 16. The 16 definitely has limitations because since it has a smaller screen it kind of minimizes the display of the program you use. Definitely if you have the money the 22 is worth, but if you really need it and is in a budget the 16 is your best bet imo.

[@rondamon4408]

Ok, so I have to buy a USB c adapter. Amazon could have advised me, or even gifted the adapter.

[@ravenly8104]

Me buying this when i'm a complete noob at drawing lmao.
