Wacom Cintiq Pro vs. iPad Pro - REVIEW 2019

[@erinkourelis7430]

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

[@KuttyJoe]

A good way to compare these two machines is to say that the Cintiq is like a desktop program, and the iPad is a mobile app. The Cintiq is a purpose built machine for maximum productivity. The iPad is an extension of that productivity by allowing you to get some more work done while away from the shop. If you doing production level work and time matters, then something like the Cintiq is a must. If you're not working on the clock, then a tablet allows you to create wonderful art. The difference is about time and productivity. Not quality. Both can do amazing stuff.

[@gkiss2030]

What about getting Astropad for the iPad and a 29" monitor (at least)? :)

[@moonykash]

This is sooo informative! Thanks so much!

[@eyoms]

Well said!

[@UmTois]

...And psychology sometimes. I have a cintiq 13hd and work as digital artist, yet sometimes It takes lots of time to warm up and really gets things going. I realised I do things faster when I see my cintiq as if it's "paper and pencil" instead of a computer screen, but I bet it would be easier with an ipad, since it's lighter, easier to move and I'm close to its screen. The best thing to do is borrowing and testing before buying, so you get to see which one really works best specifically for you.

[@KuttyJoe]

@@UmTois That's a very interesting observation, and I think that the iPad is probably going to be as close to pencil and paper as you can get. Apple really did raise the bar, and continued raising it with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.

[@ivenstorm]

@Sonic the Artist you pay for quality. If your an artist, 3-4 grand for something your going to make 10k plus on is a small investment. Plus now and again you can write things off as a business expense. I know people who spend 10s of thousands of dollars on their equipment, but they make that money back in 2-3 years easily. Take my headphones. I paid 200 for them. I could have bought a cheap 30 dollar pair but its night and day in quality. Plus I get a warranty and extra accessories.

That’s not the current 12.9 iPad Pro that’s why. You can clearly see there a home button. The current one doesn’t have a home button so screen size there’s a lot more screen compared to the old gen, same size tho but more screen. That and the Apple Pencil 2 doesn’t insert itself like a charging cable it magnet grips the side of the pad for easy charging.

[@scp_art]

I think you make great points,people tend to forget you need a decent PC to use art software on large Cintiqs.So if you don’t already own fairly powerful hardware,the cintiq route is even more expensive.I find iPad Pro with Artstudio Pro with large canvas size and large blending textured brushes has less lag than my PC/Cintiq setup.Ipad Pro can be a very good option ,double tap with Apple Pencil 2 is awesome for workflow as well.

[@BravetheWoods]

scpart Thanks! And glad you brought this up. You do have to factor in a decent computer because you want it to run powerful apps like Photoshop without lagging or freezing.

[@scp_art]

@@Hobopaladin Still funny how my PC lags more on high Res Canvas and large brushes compared to the same on my Ipad Pro

I like how you do your review. No unnecessary video transitions nor crazy gimmicks, just straight forward style and I like it. It's a breathe of fresh air for me since most reviewers in youtube nowadays follow the same format. Kudos.

[@BravetheWoods]

IRA-BIM so happy it helped! Thanks for the kind words

[@KuttyJoe]

It’s interesting how everybody works differently. I set up my Cintiq to where I don’t use the keyboard at all. I slide the keyboard under the screen, then pull the screen down completely covering the keyboard so it isn’t even visible. Then I use the EK Remote for almost everything. In addition to that, Wacom software allows you to create toolbars with icons/functions for anything. So I set up a couple of those toolbars and for some of my lesser used functions rather than having to dig into a menu. Between that and the EK Remote, I have access to everything without ever going back to the keyboard. I feel like it gives me the fastest workflow. I keep one hand on the EK Remote at all times and I can do most actions without having to look at it. I can do them by feel, like using the home keys on a keyboard. I also don’t use the touch screen model. I just work faster when I have physical controls. I also have an iPad Pro. My wife uses it exclusively because sitting at the desktop and using the Cintiqs hurts her back. So she sits on the couch, or on the floor and places the ipad Pro on the table. The workflow is a lot slower so if I’m at home, it’s always best to use the Cintiq in terms of speed. Especially with highly customizable programs like Clip Studio Paint. But the iPad Pro is very nice.

[@adarsh9558]

My only problem with the ipad was that it didn't have clip studio. I didn't want to abandon it for procreate. But now the app store does have clip studio paint and also going to release photoshop which is a game changer. Also, procreate has become really good

[@cdczmb8492]

I'm testing the new iPadOS and macOS Catalina with SIDECAR and it's just perfect. With this update, Apple nailed most of the "cons" about the iPad Pro.

[@VideoFlickx]

Great comparison, thanks for posting this. This is the kind of issue we as illustrators are confronted with nowadays, so super to have this outlined here. As a professional illustrator for more then 30 years I have used numerous Wacom tablets and Cintiqs - I remember buying the first screen/tablet hybrid ever that Wacom released (around 2001 I think), it was a miracle to start drawing on this 15 inch model…. exactly what I needed at the time. No sure if this was already called a Cintiq. In my view, Cintiqs became worse and worse over the years: image quality worsened because of the coating on top, really degrading the crisp view that the earlier models featured. And adding fans (that really sound bad and loud) degraded the experience even more for me. I started seeing them as bulky machines that took away any joy of using them. Nowadays, I use an iPad Pro when I need to sketch, draw or paint with pixels, and also for creating lines for my cartoon artwork (Affinity Designer for iPad is the most perfect tool for this, for me). All my other vector artwork is created on my iMac Pro, with just an Intuos 5 M. This combination works perfectly well and fast for me. But I realise that it is all up to personal preference.

[@bugsonthewindshield413]

What a great in-depth review for both equipments! I own the Cintiq 22HD and I love it. I use it everyday. Now I am thinking of getting the iPad Pro as well just for the days when I am traveling or on vacation, etc. It's really nice to have both options! Keep up the good work.

[@lillwolff2353]

For my iPad Pro I bought a "Pillow Pad" which is like a triangular cushion where each side is a different angle. It is great when I want to sit with the iPad on my lap in my recliner chair or when I want to sit on my bed and work. I can even use it on my desk. It has a zip on, washable faux suede cover which is great when it gets a bit grubby from my hands. Cheers

[@seniartkreatif]

with ipad i could write or digital drawing on the bed anywhere and even can listen to music...worth and very worthy for an artist

[@Izmirization]

I have a 27” qhd cintiq and got the iPad Pro after hearing how much of a “workhorse” it was for designers. I do like my iPad but quite honestly find it to be a toy. I do use it on the go as a sketchbook but that’s really about it.

[@Postghost]

Hear hear.

[@nessi4668]

the thing thats kinda bugging me with the ipad is the layer limit you get while drawing

[@lordfaust_87]

For all of you, good people, complaining about neck issues when using the iPad Pro and searching for a nice stand: Parblo Stand PR100. Got it from Aliexpress for around 40$, it is sturdy, it supports many angles and the 12.9 inches iPad Pro fits perfectly on it.

[@Neimykanani]

Lord Faust I use the Max Smart stand ($21.99 on Amazon) and it works great as well! If you wanted a cheaper version.

[@Icecodes]

I think with all that money you should have gotten the touch version just for reselling value

[@lordfaust_87]

nerdwithjordans reselling is not a concern to me, considering that the iPad pro is the perfect drawing solution for my taste. I'd rather invest in a device that is not only a drawing tablet, but also it allows you to produce and record music, edit video, use anatomy reference apps on the go, take photos instantaneously and use them as a reference layer, and many more. In comparison, the Cintiq is a chunky thing attached to your desk and it only serves the purpose of drawing.

[@fdelaneau]

You should definitively check out Affinity Designer, it is much faster then photoshop or illustrator, you can smoothly zoom even with thousand of layers. It also can open psd or ai files, doesn’t require subscription and is available on macOS and iPadOS (and windows). Even on the iPad Pro it works great and you can have your main design tool always with you. The Affinity applications (Designer, Photos and Publisher) are the first that feels solid enough to replace Adobe main applications (Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign).

[@awarenesstranslations8899]

Fabrice Delaneau thanx I will!

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

Thank you for the info!!! As a broke artist, I'm always looking for anythng that can help me grow as an artist without having to break the bank monthly. I just really find Adobe AI to be expensive since I don't do artworks everyday so having to pay for the AI is not practical for me. So about the Affinity. Is it one time payment for all the apps? Thank you so much in advance!

[@patricialarenas6670]

I love my iPad Pro- my simple solution for a stand to set it on when I draw is: I bought a 4 inch binder and stuck a piece of shelving material on the binder surface ( the kind you line kitchen shelves with to prevent dishes sliding around during an earthquake!) so the iPad doesn't slide around. The angle is very comfortable. I learned this tip in a botanical art class for detailed colored pencil drawing-

[@susandraws]

Yes!! I did the same! Brilliant minds. Lol!

[@SoundzIntriguing]

I love my iPad Pro, love the mobile aspect and Procreate. The only thing missing is a good animation app. Every app I've tried has major lacks.I know there are some good ones on the Mac, but it lacks portability if you can't just take your iPad and work anywhere, which is important to me as I'm only doing this on my own time.

[@billbakyl]

Totally agree!

[@Blackshoefilms]

A really good iPad Pro case for drawing is the Targus 360, which allows you to prop up the iPad either horizontally or vertically, and also offers an Apple Pencil holder as well as great drop protection.

[@10veryintelligentlevels35]

Connected the 2018 iPad Pro to a monitor and it is amazing but of course you draw direct on the iPad and only use the external display for preview. I wonder if they can activate a hovering cursor.

Channing Belford You sure as heck can! What’s great is you can do vector drawings and illustrations as well as pixel illustrations with Affinity Designer. And when I say pixel drawings, it’s not basic brushes, it’s almost Procreate level. May be on par even.

[@enchantechan]

[@luisd7632]

Channing Belford awesome! Congrats on joining the fun! I would say it really depends on your personal workflow. I tend to work mainly in Illustrator so AD allows me to play with vectors and then I can also draw/sketch. AD really has powerful brushes so maybe start there if you are more of an Illustrator person. If you are a heavy illustrator/sketcher then Procreate might be for you. there’s a ton of brushes you can buy and play with. Check out Creative Market and Retro Supply Co. (there are also AD brushes but it’s mainly vector based versions of illustrator brushes).

[@metube-senpai8136]

Well, you could try using a cover for the ipad pro that can make it stand if you want to draw more comfortably on your couch for example

I hope you should make an update since you can use your IPad as a "Cintiq" now with the new Sidecar feature.

[@CashmereSky]

Nice review! I have the same Cintiq Pro 24 with the touch features, though I should've saved my money as I always turn it off. I use the Wacom Ergo arm rather than the big stand. It's a couple hundred cheaper, frees up your desk, and gives you more versatility in screen placement. I'd easily recommend that before the giant stand. Also keep in mind, some of your lag may be due to your Macbook Pro struggling to keep up. I've hooked mine up to a custom built PC and it's smooth as glass on projects with hundreds of layers at hi-res in Photoshop CC 2019. NOTE: There is a LOW FAN SPEED OPTION in your Wacom Cintiq settings. Make sure you have the latest Firmware and driver upgrades on the screen. It makes a huge difference! I also bought an iPad Pro 11" to see how I'd like it. I returned it 3 days later as the workflow just doesn't work for me, as I tried getting into Procreate. There's too many sacrifices, plus I don't travel enough to justify it. The Apple Pen 2 is nice, but I still think Wacom's Pro Pen 2 is far superior, plus it doesn't use batteries. If I needed a mobile solution, I'd probably buy the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro so it's an identical workflow to the home studio setup. Again, nice review!

[@BravetheWoods]

Hey thanks so much for the thoughtful and thorough comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I should have definitely looked into the Wacom Ergo Arm. Now I want to sell my base and get the arm! Appreciate the heads up. I can't believe I didn't know about the low fan speed option! It has been driving me CRAZY being as loud as it has been. Sometimes I even turn it off to record videos haha. THANK YOU! Yeah, I have really embraced Procreate and spent a ton of time on it so it is really starting to feel more comfortable to me. But I totally get why you would still prefer the Cintiq. That Mobile Studio is intriguing as well! Thanks for all your help and support!

Do you find the colors still great with the iPad screen protector? Thanks for the video, it's great.

[@BravetheWoods]

takacsmark the colors are still awesome. Screen isn’t as shiny and slightly less crisp. But the comfort of drawing on a matte screen outweighs those little things personally.

Am I the only Filipino here wondering about the Filipino Jeepney Place Card on his wall? lol it's so familiar to me I can't miss it. It's legit the ones they use in my jeepney route!! 😂 I'm new to this channel and very informative video, I'm a fashion designer and been having troubles which one to get but this video helped a lot, thanks!!

[@BravetheWoods]

Walang anuman! Glad the video was helpful. Nakatira ako sa Dasma noong 2005! Area G is where I lived so I asked for the place card from one of my Jeepney driver friends before I left ha. I miss the Philippines.

[@Comicbooker]

@@BravetheWoods I was wondering about the Jeepney card too! That's so cool to know!

[@susandraws]

This was an excellent presentation! Thank you!! I now have a clear idea of what I want to purchase for my illustration work! I love that you're nice and calm and straight forward. Fantastic!

[@foda-seevida5597]

which did you choose?

[@bagurikin]

Now that the new iPadOS is out, would you recommend the Cintiq Pro 13 or the iPad Pro 12.9 for hobbyist use at home?? Great video btw!!

[@BravetheWoods]

Thanks for watching! I will have to take a look at the new iPadOS and try out the Cinitq Pro 13. Once I do I will be sure to make a new video ;)

[@sayuriotuka3848]

For me, paying $779 (a 12.9 inch 2nd gen new sealed at ebay) and being able to do school stuff, media consumption and still draw at so many levels is definitely perfect. Maybe a professional needs some more, but for hobbyist I guess there's no necessity on buying a wacom. Also, I heard about professional whose also use iPad, like for tattoos and lettering. Saw once at the comments of one video about pixar artists using it as well, but idk. Anyway, for a non professional artist, think the iPad is just the perfect choice. Search for "how I take notes on my iPad" if u are a student, guess it is really helpful if u go to art classes.

[@theahime]

only 4 min in the video and it's such a detailed review already ✌️

[@ricandersonva]

I use the zugu stand and protective cover for my ipad pro. It provides the angle you have on that Park stand and several more angles. It uses magnets to form stable stand adjustments that stay put. I recommend it. Im on my second zugu, having wornout the first on after 3 years.

[@BravetheWoods]

Ric Anderson thank you so much for the heads up!

[@hilmanhazazi64]

basicly, wacom is the apple on drawing tablet market, huion and xp-pen is android. am i right?

[@jeanyvescoffy8315]

For me, you are totally wrong :o Android is far above apple , true multitask, opened to the world, more choice, customisation, etc etc. Huion is far behind Wacom. Despite Wacom very high price, their products are the absolute best on the market, in every.single.way. Apple was this, long time ago. Now it's dead.

[@PetitFlorals]

Thanks for the video! I have a centiq and I've been thinking about upgrading it. I've had it for about 10 years now. I love my iPad and totally agree with what you said about both tools. Great video.

[@felipenogueiraclementoni7966]

Really well made review, lots of details, thanks man!

[@stevenlombaerts2714]

I own the Wacom Cintiq 24HD. (first generation) One thing that still bothers me, is the fact that the brightness just wasn't bright enough. I experienced the screen as quite dark, no matter how much I tried calibrating the device. And -because of it- the colors were always kinda "off". So I constantly have to move the drawing to another screen to see what the colors looked light on "normal" screens. In this video Cintiq seems to be (almost) as bright as the second screen or even the iPad. Am I wrong or is that much better now? I'm considering selling my Cintiq 24HD and going for the iPad Pro. Huge doubts, hard choice.

[@ashleylaw1284]

Great review, very insightful! I do a lot of CAD work as a fashion designer but I'd like to see if using a pen on a Wacom or the 2018 iPad pro would help make my CADing faster. The new Mac OS Catalina is supposed to be able to Airplay to the iPad Pro but will have a slight lag, they also said it can connect through USB-C which would lessen the lag. I'm curious if this would make it a better option for me since I travel a lot. If illustrator would come out with an iPad app it'd be a no brainer for me, but unfortunately still waiting for that.

[@RyanDPatel]

How would you compare the touch screen functionality and rotation between the iPad Pro and the Cintiq Pro? I'm in the market for upgrading to a large-model Cintiq, but one of my biggest concerns is the mixed reviews of the expensive touch functionality on the Cintiq Pros.

[@kmidst_kn6329]

Of all computer accessories, I would have expected a screen for drawing to be medium price, not one of the MOST expensive. God damn. I feel like companies are testing the market to see just how much they can charge for things.

[@alejmc]

Kinda digged the slanted stand as it’s also functional for laptops. I do have an iPad Pro 11in though, the descriptions seems to be only for 12.9in, would it really be an issue? Would you happen to know if it would work alright? Thanks a lot for this video, thoroughly informative.

[@andrewnewark676]

When you take the cap off of the pencil you can lay it on the magnets in each corner of the screen. Good job here thank you.

[@TheMayzation]

Hey thanks for the video. I find the Cintiq's image quality rather low in comparison to the iMac. What is your color settings please?

[@claud1able]

I use sidecar an apple app with OS Catalina or Mohave and it becomes a drawing tablet with any of your drawing app

[@Meganthamac]

Saw Raleigh in the thumbnail so I clicked. Stayed for the review!

[@SinfulAeon]

Also the other con to the iPad Pro is the canvas size. I do lots of larger than life style prints and realise that my iPad Pro can’t handle the sizes I’m looking for at 300 dpi.

[@bunobeatz5737]

it all comes down to what size screen you want

[@Stevenafoe]

On apple pencil; there should be a small adapter with it, with that you can charge it using a standard ipad/iphone charger plugged into the wall. I use that all the time. Works fine! Second thing; i have a (old) standard apple cover for the 12,9” ipad, which serves as a stand aswell. Maybe not as tilted as your 12 south one, but it works, and protects the ipad also (front and back).

[@jadek5788]

You're review is great! But I still don't really know what is best for me. Lag and productivity are really important to me. I am considering getting the ipad pro 2020 10.5" or the cintiq pro 13.3". I've heard great things about both, but I have heard more complaints about the cintiq. I will be buying a macbook air as well for college, where I plan on studying in the art/business field. I have a wacom intuos, but I really want to upgrade to a tablet with a screen.

[@pedrolahoz]

I would like for you to tell how you use both tablets. What type of work you prefer to do on each.

[@BravetheWoods]

Of course! I use my Cintiq for when I need to work on large projects in Photoshop. Both large in dimension and file size. I've done maps and children's books on the Cintiq, which was great. For the iPad Pro, I use for most of my general illustration projects because I like the drawing experience better. I hope that helps!

[@crowonthebanjo611]

Where can i find that reliegh picture?

[@randyarnold9395]

You can use an travel battery to power your hot key remote if you forget to charge it

[@monstai5632]

My concern is if I can do the same I would be able to do on a cintiq, on an ipad. Because they have different softwares. Im worried that I might have limited options if I get an ipad pro, but at the same time the ipad seems much easier to use considering theres a lot of touch shortcuts which to me is important. The easier it is to use the device, the more comfortable I'll feel. Any advice?

[@diegoshepherd2288]

Well, let me try to assist you... There will be differences in the functionality of both devices, yes. The iPad is going to use Apple's iPadOS as its operating system, which will limit it to apps available on the App store, or apps included by Apple by default. The Cintiq, however, doesn't have those boundaries because it is just simply reflecting what is on your monitor, thus there won't be limitations since you can have both Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc, running on it. If you want a personal recommendation, I recommend purchasing the iPad Pro, for it will provide you with a wonderful drawing experience, and besides that all of the portability and versatility of the device... And really, when it comes to that point... you really just simply need to master your tools rather than prioritizing one of them based on the excellence of their functionality, they both are great, but the iPad Pro is a far better deal in spite of your level of expertise or work, really.

Martin Duffy not sure why you have no pressure on the Apple Pencil. Check if your app supports it, and if it’s activated in the app. Been using mine for years with very good pressure sense.
