Super LAte! BUT, I had to give yall my best 🙌 How many cables did you count in the video? 👀

[@shawnfrosticle]

YOU CANT COUNT THEM, how would u ever count them

[@CrimsonLadyVT]

I didnt see any cables! I was really wondering how your things even work!! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣 jk of course

[@prebest5964]

[@loveArtnotFood]

I think we need a full video just on the iPad setup alongside its accessories

[@12DreamsFull]

996

[@lashilashi1832]

btw guys you dont need all that in order to draw good. Be creative with what you have you will be much more happy.

[@lawrencetate-bklynartsessi8762]

I agree, as kool as this may look whether ur an digital artist, content creator, or whatever...this to me is overkill lmaoooo. I have two monitors one being my iMac 22, 22in Cintiq, a wrap around desk and space to do my traditional art. but I guess to each is own.

[@ergojosh]

What he said! I've been doing this for over 5 years, if anyone feels intimidated check my IG stories to see my trashy (literally) setup where I shared a desk with my Dad in between two pieces of furniture lol.

[@lawrencetate-bklynartsessi8762]

@@ergojosh no shade at all my guy, love all that you have and achieved with ur art. Big fan, just agreeing wit the main commenter about not needing all that to be good.

[@lashilashi1832]

i love this setup dont get me wrong, a W setup!

[@whimsicalcellbooster]

A good rig supports your mood and a good mood is important to support your creativity. Create a space where you feel good, because it’s the place where you work every day.

[@puffballs2404]

I'm impressed how the desk manages to carry all that weight. The cable management is even crazier

[@stonehead4775]

bamboo is actually really strong

[@puffballs2404]

right? I always thought heavier/thicker is better. It turns out bamboo is more durable than those usual desktops@@stonehead4775

[@JJ-tr8cu]

One of the most unique setups. It gave me some inspiration, thanks!

[@ergojosh]

Happy to hear this! Alot of people think I do this to 'flex' but its because I want to show people whats possible. There are kids who will see me, my studio, and dream even bigger. There are people who are confused at where to start. There are even other professionals that simply don't have time to test out everything I do, and they benefit from my videos. Its all inspiration. Also everything looks better on camera xD

[@johnbrockiii]

This set up isn't just overkill, it's megadeath.

[@aaronchapman6666]

Right ?!?!

[@gearsofalex2]

What a comment! 10/10

[@sarahjeannexd]

😂

[@fluttzkrieg4392]

You take a mortal man And put him in control Watch his amazing setup Watch people's minds' blown

[@tymaster33]

Simply WOW!!! What an amazing and well thought out setup. Thank you for putting the time and effort to not only come up with such a streamlined setup but not glossing over any minor detail. This is the setup I aspire to have. Keep up the great work and art!

[@edcastaneda508]

Love the evolution of your desk set up Josh and the function of it all. I am just about the same with my desk setup leaning more on the practical function instead of the museum minimalist pieces that we often see. I always wonder if they get anything done working on such a desk. Anyway, looking forward to the room tour to see how its evolved. Your Japanese touches in the last video room tour was inspiring. Thanks!!!

[@drobertsphoto]

Great stuff! Always happy to see an actual WORKSPACE!!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@Chantilly_Chateau]

You’re such an inspiration. Keep doing you man!

[@Basiieee_Artist]

You are the biggest champ when it comes to tecs you are doing it so stunning and smartly to educate us things we never known and understood! This is huge update and worth taking time to chunk in!!! I wish you get noticed big time! People should use your phenomenal presentation of tools using you and placing you in their big brands!!! I appreciate you Nigerian Black American king!!! You always inspire me! I can't help enjoying also voiceover really authentic and purely makes me want to listen without being interrupted man!!! 🚀🚀🚀👏🏾🎁

[@KrishnaDraws]

Killer setup! You've given me some ideas for my own studio. Thanks!

[@JeffDelgado]

Only ergo Josh would have an iPad mini for a clock lol.

[@Schematical]

Your desk game is on another level. I bow down to you sir.

[@scarlett6761]

Thank you for sharing your Moonlander layout! I’ve got the full keyboard and am just getting into digital art, and having someone else’s setup for art shortcuts is _super_ useful 😄

[@ergojosh]

You are so welcome!

[@LocalGhost_8080]

I love it! looks like a futurist lab

[@KillerTacos54]

Absolutely amazing!

[@juliarangelr]

this has given me pretty cool ideas for my modest setup, thanks!

[@RandomDiceSociety-dn4zv]

I need to up my game. I got 9 pencils and a table. Iam thinking about getting a chair.

[@tomsanderson]

I always look forward to these art desk setup tours. Your 2021 video inspired me to start my own productive space.

[@MrErererererr]

You inspired me to organize my workspace. Thank you

[@orbitforcreators]

Daamn! Lot's of good ideas to take from this!

[@Metal_seer]

Quite elaborate! Thanks for sharing.

[@PixelChomp]

That is one hell of a desk setup! Thanks for sharing.

[@ergojosh]

Glad you like it!

[@PixelChomp]

I do! It's a little overwhelming at first, but obviously every item serves a purpose. Quest about your recording/streaming setup. Do you experience delays? I am trying to find a solution to record art on the iPad and currently Ive started just doing the iPad screen capture, but I would love to find a more effective way. @@ergojosh

[@nansifyanimations]

I had just watched your last setup from last year?! That’s so cool :D

[@pheyie]

i have never seen such details for a desk. That's crazy

[@avengingsylph]

The 'MAXIMAL' digital art desk tour.

[@jean-lais]

Nice setup. Love it💯

[@upergo.official]

You really did a great job!

[@denmark_morales4695]

This setup makes me jealous. Your vids are awesome for reference, man!

[@LAUZERTV]

Wow Goose Bumps right then when you said about being ADHD, so in sight in mind is very important. That was really amazing that you mentioned that because it's so true and I can relate to that a lot!

[@RubiKeys]

love it! mine is with a normal tablet but the keyboard is allways a must in fact that is hard to fit in the desk the screen to drawing and any full keyboard, i also have many small ones like 60% or so

[@memeize4741]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS😢

[@hollyahd]

Love this! I need to get back into creating again. Also, planning any ATL meetups?!

[@ergojosh]

Not at the moment but I definitely will do something in the future! Atl is special to me.

[@dmend2978]

Thank you so much for this, super helpful! Also, love shot @ 20:57, hands framed within frame to infinity Russian doll situation

[@ronaldolamont]

This looks more like science project, than a digital art studio!! 😂 I kid of course, it looks awesome man!! You definitely gave me some ideas for my own studio!! 👍🏾

[@OmarYaujar]

bro you went overkill!!! i love it!

[@dominicperez3777]

That is a cool setup! :D

[@SantoshKumar-tz2ku]

Yes obviously we need fuul detail video bro please do that also ❤

[@CrimsonLadyVT]

We enjoy seeing dancing josh and under the desk josh

[@krowland7584]

That's a sick studio space.

[@3up3rn0va]

I still think you're the Marques Brownlee of the drawing scene you're a big inspiration keep up the great work! My ipad set up is just my ipad air and the logitech keyboard/case that combo seems to work well! But that ipad stand thing looks really cool I kind of want a stand like that. Sometimes having a beter grip on the ipad sounds like a good idea. Also stands would help my bad gamer posture 😂

[@ergojosh]

What an honor haha. And yes pls take care of your back! Or else you'll become a shrimp like me lol

[@_souzarte_]

Don't know why but seeing all of these equipaments is very satisfying

[@adamcas_golf]

The setup is a little overkill for what I need, but I did take away a few things that I could implement in my day to day setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@analog-dreams]

Sick!

[@clay-sculpting]

A full One-Year-Sallary on a desk, impressive 😀

[@x3rc693]

Hi Josh. Love this. Minor thing: I feel like the audio sounds different from your last desk tour video. I cant describe it but I think the last one sounded better. But great vid

[@aaronchapman6666]

What I want to know is how you manage to keep everything so clean and dust free. Would love an office cleaning video honestly 🤔

[@ergojosh]

Having a powerful, quality air filter helps! I keep a very close eye on the air quality since I spend so much time at home. Helps remove any dust in the air before it even settles on my stuff. Ill do an automated/home/lifestyle routine video someday.

[@rynsart]

Damn. And here's me thinking my setup is great, but nah this is leagues above mine lol. It's cool af. I hope to have a studio like this for my Art in the future.

[@suburbanview]

I made my own desk. 6 ' by 3 ', with simple pine planks, an old drill, a screwdriver, and an old hand saw. Al screw up to reinforce the legs (pine too 3" X 1.5") I need room for my asus 32", my Alienware 17 Rtx, 24 Huion tablet Studio lamp, and now my new iPad 12 pro.

[@NicolasGomez-jo2ly]

Mega setup!! Can you share the link for the table/raiser that appears in 20:25 please

[@user-wu2cl2tc2j]

М-да. Много девайсов. Получил эстетическое удовольствие от просмотра такого рабочего места.

[@radjeffdennis3456]

Love quality of your video bro could you please tell me which Camera you are using my to film ?

[@DragonDoper]

Imagine having to move and disassembling your setup then reassemble it back together!😂

[@alonew]

I hv never seen a desk with so so much electronics and wires, in my entire life. Its giving me alien space ship command centre vibes! 😅

[@ishtarxdd]

I need someone to trust me like josh trusts these desks

[@byu1213]

At some point while I was watching this I started thinking how simple Alberto Mielgo's setup is and immediately after that you have his short-film rolling on one of your screens

[@HANAAEWAS2023]

I like your colour so cool 👍💥💥💥

[@mike50one50]

And the spyderco knife @2:19 🤙

[@Ntxroses]

someday i will get those stuff 😊

[@CatsSaveTheWorldForSure]

Thanks for sharing! What's the desk mat btw, looks good.

[@BeautifulBakist]

I missed the live stream the other day, i've been sick about it lol

[@dodododraw]

Great studio, now we know how your very high quilty videos are made

[@user-yb4eu9jx6v]

Awesome..

[@bunobeatz5737]

Josh loves tech

[@manuelchiacchiaretta6851]

Hi, great work desk. What kind of stand uses for the iPad?

[@dexterbacchus4449]

NYOCE!!!

[@astridtrisorio4894]

Simply amazing 😍😍😍 a question: do you still got the big Cintiq?

[@ergojosh]

Nope I sold it! Its just too big.

[@astridtrisorio4894]

​@@ergojosh it´s just amazing how the Ipad Pro became such a staple in the digital art. I do also work primarily on my Ipad Pro (2017, planning to get a new model soon). The fact that i can move freely in my apartment or bring it anywhere is fantastic. I was almost buying a Cintiq but as you said, too big aahahahah

[@kristiencuthbertson2878]

What cables do you use while the iPad is in the sketch board pro. I’ve had to test a bunch of Thunderbolt cables to make sure they aren’t too think or are durable enough for the Sketchboard. Great video!

[@ergojosh]

the apple braided TB4/usb3,2 cables have been the goat for me. Second place are Plugable/Anker cables. Those are two brands that have been reliable for me.

[@spinkey4842]

sick setup my man.... but has it ever crossed your mind to get a deeper desk? no pervo, but a desk with 3-5 more inches will change your life

[@davisbamwine]

I'm inspired. This is a digital garage for the factory.

[@ergojosh]

Right? Sometimes I look at it and I'm like...where did all of this stuff come from? But everything has a purpose.

[@marqosmarqos1201]

Wow!!!!!

[@aleksdeveloper698]

I want to see what tips and tricks you know about procreate.

[@NoahMaxine]

Foot stool... its fun XD

[@Maks-vo3uo]

😂This is how I set up my tablet and keyboard too!

[@loveArtnotFood]

Workflow video!! Petition

[@marianwhit]

My biggest challenge is that everything I do has to be in a prone position...arg...USB C is HORRIBLE for this, especially since I have friendly cats (no I am not getting rid of them, there is no better antidepressant). My connections at the computer break or the cable does. I don't find anything not wired works as well as wired. "Laptops" are not "laptops" any more and it is driving me nuts. It needs to be fast, non-glare, usable outside if possible, etc. I want the best possible performance. Also $1,000s of dollars on mice...before on replacing the trackman red ball mouse every 2 months before it went obsolete and now I have about 5 different kinds to switch around when the pain gets too much. I wish the trackman could come back. My speed dropped by half and I am constantly moving and renaming files. So I really want a display that I can look at and draw with the image directly on it...liked the smallest wacom ok...but would rather be looking at the drawing surface.

[@drake_otaku_artist]

I’m trying to set up a online store with square space right now. You have any advice or experience with that ?

[@TenHundred]

Swag! Super sick setup

[@ergojosh]

Ayeee thanks man! Im tryna be like u tho xD

[@garrettviewegh9028]

I currently have a monitor, and a drawing tablet, Wacom I think, and my laptop to the right. I have to turn when I want to change something, or type a title for my artwork on the keyboard. Any suggestions on stuff to buy? Or changing hot keys for shortcuts?

[@sarcasm2k]

apologies if u covered this earlier - but what happened to using the wacom?

[@ghosted-_-7650]

idk what has happened to me but recently i haven’t been motivated to create for graphic design i need to get out of the creative block tbh and get back to the grind

[@will4282]

I have a moon lander keyboard, and I also have an iPad pro- I had no idea you might be able to use it to control procreate, that's insane! I was never able to find any resources online that said that you could potentially do that.

[@will4282]

Just got home and tried it BROOOO HOLY SH*T

[@loveArtnotFood]

​@@will4282how does that work?

[@djbarangule8267]

​@@will4282have you tried on any other software.... I'm trying it on callipeg and it isn't working for me

[@PharaohRhymes]

Do a day in the life bro.!💯

[@kenshjnpark_art]

So Ipad pro is the only device you were using for drawing?

[@aggelosprov]

Amazing setup! 👏🏻 Are the Apple displays 27” or 32”?

[@ergojosh]

27”

[@joselucnico]

What is the thing in which the iPad is embedded?

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Saw your post lower that your tablet got stolen? Are you planning to use a pen display again or just an Intuos?

[@LowkeyLoki_1]

I dont think I've ever been this early to a video

[@ahlokecafe_articulate]

Truly a sticker guy😂 but man so much tech...

[@jurjani_vii]

Dude is operating the Matrix!

[@ergojosh]

I am the Architect AND Morpheus.

[@LiveMoreDoLife]

SO. No one is gonna mention how Josh went all Cirque Du Soleil underneath that desk to tame those cables? TOES OUT AND ALL! That's dedication to the craft right there. 🤣🫡

[@ThinhNguyen-mj1lm]

Where can I buy the stand for ipad like yours ?

[@mauree1618]

To quote Jensen Huang; “It’s too much!” Jokes aside, I like how the video started glitching when Jinx was on screen.

[@bunobeatz5737]

So how much would you sell that whole room for if you would? Tough question? Im just curious

[@watchyoutubeaccount1]

wow no spec of dust! now thats impressive!

[@ergojosh]

my keyboard do be having crumbs all over it tho…and my table…and the floor sometimes 😜

[@AnnkurKumar]

Hi, what do you do to earn money? Your setup ( seen in the video in bits n pieces) looks good to me.

[@heartarora6709]

What water bottle you have?

[@suburbanview]

So, you dont use screen covers in your iPad. Do we really need a screen protector for the iPad?

[@studiowalker]

Are you still using a cintiq?

[@BumblingArtist]

When are we getting a Josh ASMR video?
