What do I REALLY Think New Artists Should Buy?

[@isuru_shamika]

Also the used S series tabs from s6 to s8 are tremendous value coz they have the flagship processor of that year unlike the s6 lite

[@Alan-gu1hp]

S8 will stop getting updates 2026. I wouldn't recommend them, since s9 are kinda unexpensive atm. Ps: if use them ONLY for drawing it is fine tho.

[@ivaneberle3972]

I've been rocking a Galaxy Tab S6 with the SuperAMOLED 10.5" screen for 3+ years. It was a flagship in 2019 with a Snapdragon 855, 256Gb and 8GB RAM. WiFi-only, that works seamlessly with my Pixel 4a5G. I bought it specifically to fly my drone with a bigger better monitor than my smartphone. Tab S6 just got progressively better with each iteration of OneUI, now at Android 12 (4.1.1). Maybe my fav device, was a mint/new refurb with warranty for $320.

[@SimonBauer7]

yeah, id rather take one of these over the s6 lite.

[@fablemayrev]

I grabbed up a used s6 256/8 for only 300 Euros, and that included shipping and VAT, gonna arrive on Christmas and I am ecstatic! :D

[@theinktician]

@@Alan-gu1hp So glad you said that second part, cause the play store will still be very much available on your outdated tablet and the app will still get the updates. It's not like a phone where you're connect 24/7 and need the extra security. Source: Me. My outdated tablet - and my old phone (Pixel 1) are still in airplane mode to this day. All wireless connections disable, but I connect to my private network when I want to use the Play Store. Just in case someone asks, I use my Pixel as a camera with Droidcam. The tablet, I actually sold last week, so "to this day" was a lie. But not a huge one - I replaced it with a broken laptop that i fixed (except for the sound...). The pen cursor is a little offset no matter which pen I use so I kinda miss may Tab S4 already...

[@Franco-s]

Personally if I could give any advice is: get as much storage as you can seriously don't get anything in the double digits storage wise if you can get between 256gb and above great but at least get 128 seriously as someone whose used a cheaper iPad model as a daily driver and even to as a tool when I got into art school to work anywhere and on my desktop. Storage has been the biggest deterrent to my workflow over time and its made a huge impact on how I do things on my iPad it's gotten to the point were the awful 32gb I had were putting me at risk of losing progress on heavier pieces just because of file size and how it slows down the performance of my tablet. Please future-proof I've been using my iPad for 4 years and in the 1 year I've drawn the most and have used it to make assignments for my classes I now need an upgrade just because of this.

[@signas9896]

I would go so far as to say look for a terrabyte of storage. Rendering does take up space and so do projects with tons of layers.

[@Franco-s]

100% agree

[@rajivvishwa]

I still dont understand why iPads still dont support expandable storage

[@I_was_a_Bullfrog]

​@rajivvishwa I just use an external ssd. Not ideal, but saves some money on larger storage solutions.

[@signas9896]

@@rajivvishwa that's easy to answer. Make something too good and people won't buy the next iteration. Apple has always made their products with that in mind. They slipped up with the iPad pro when the m chips were being put into them and since they made so much money off of it, they couldn't possibly make it a one and done.

Hi Brad, this was an excellent video and it got a like from me. I have been lazy and haven't kept up with any of my drawing or digital art for many years now. I just got the itch to get back to doing digital art a few days ago, and traded in my old iPad mini (6 gen) to the new M4 iPad Pro 13" specifically to have a full size art canvas to be used with Procreate and of course the larger screen will also be amazing for watching movies and tv on the go. Last night I did my first digital painting in at least 5 years, and as rusty as I am it still turned out great. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video.

[@ColoricoArt]

I may be biased, but the fairly recent XP Pen Magic Tab has been a great product I've used so far. It is on the higher end ( I believe somewhere between $400-$500), but the stylus is very well designed and I feel is the Android equivalent to Apple's iPad and Pencil

[@Jj82op]

From what I remember the pen doesn't support tilt, so I think that maybe it's just better to choose a Samsung Tab that does.

[@EnyoStudio]

Great information! I bought a Tab S7+ instead of a dedicated drawing tablet (early 2021), and it replaced my laptop. Draws so good, and is a great computer that I still use every day. Good call out on the S6 Lite. I bought my Dad the OG S6 Lite and it's definitely laggy 3 1/2 years later. Still great for drawing, still has a good looking screen, but as a computer it struggles. If you can stretch for a flagship instead of a Lite or FE, it definitely retains usability for longer.

[@WolfBrother1]

Bought the Samsung tab s9 fe+. 256gb 12gb ram. Great deal on black Friday

[@dbweb.creative]

first I did the same, then found a deal on s8+ and upgraded for same price~. It's a night and day difference, easily 2x performance.

[@franciscodetonne4797]

Just bought one used recently. Only 8GB but my golly the screen feels gigantic compare to my S6 Lite.

[@-The-Golden-God-]

I finally caved and bought an ipad Pro 11" (etched screen). While I love the feeling of drawing on it, I absolutely LOATHE the ipad OS. It's clunky, user-unfriendly, counter-intuitive, restrictive and ugly. It's everything that I dislike about Apple products. I simply can't fathom how people use Apple devices on a daily basis. Even something as a simple as installing a font becomes a ridiculously convoluted task. It's an utterly absurd experience. If there was a comparitive Windows device, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat. If Adobe Fresco ever comes to Android, then I'll sell my ipad immediately.

[@ram_on_foot]

yeah, I had the same experience, got an iPad pro 12" and I just couldn't with the OS. File management was a nightmare and I just kept running into unnecessary restrictions. In the end I came back to the surface pro, which is also definitely not perfect, but it works better for me.

Brad! I watched your videos religiously and around the Black Friday discounts I managed to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE for around 650! Normally where I live they go for around 800, so 650 is the same price you'd pay for the S6 Lite 2024 normally. Really a great steal for the money! So far my experience has been great, can't wait to start using it more for my personal projects! Thank you for all the honest reviews, extremely helpful! :)

What about the XP Pen Magic Pad. I'm finding it great for sketching and animation work, it's light and really fast. And it's got a massive wide screen.

[@ChrispiChicken]

I use the s9 fe plus and I love it, I use clip studio art on it and I bought a Dexnor keyboard for it and a wireless true bluetooth mouse and i play minecraft on it and it runs really smooth

[@mechinese1987]

Anyone watching this and are considering the s6 lite. Stay away from it. Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent tablet but it’s not very future proof. The 4 gbs of ram and 64 gb is realistically 2 gbs of ram and like 50 gbs. If you play games it’s only has 60hz and it’s not the smoothest experience. I ended up returning mine and getting the s10 plus cause it fit my needs better. Definitely go with the s9fe that usually on sale for around $329. Which is worth the extra cost from the s6 lite. If you want the full dex experience go with a renowned tab s8 that you can get on amazon around $340. I guarantee the experience would be much nicer.

Forgive me if you mentioned this and somehow I missed it in the video, but one thing to point out - the ninth generation iPad for $199 only comes with 64 gigs of storage. The Samsung I believe comes with 128 gigs and I’m not sure, but many of their tablets also have a microSD card so you can expand the storage even further.

[@taxineil1]

I bought the large samsung s8 ultra when it came out but found I was still reaching for my basic ipad,since then I bought the ipad pro earlier this year and it may just be I favour the procreate app,but I hardly use s8 ultra,the pen for ipad I find much easier to use and I bought a magnetic drawing screen from amazon that just pulls off easily for regular use.I think ipad is one of the best inventions ever,although I can't imagine life without a mobile phone.

[@awwastor]

btw if you’re purchasing an m1 air or an older pro, you might be able to snag a deal on the Apple Pencil 2: both used and new ones often go for quite a bit cheaper than msrp as there aren’t any current gen iPads that support it

[@benjamina6915]

Over here it's quite a different story. The iPad 9th gen is €320 and the Apple Pencil is €90... €410 in total. The Galaxy S6 Lite 2024 is €259 and the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe is €348. Apple is just too expensive here to even consider. Personally due to the lack of RAM and storage on both the iPad and S6 Lite, I would get the S9 Fe with 6Gb or RAM and 128Gb of storage if I had to start on a budget. I like the S9 Fe, I have the 256Gb version that comes with 8Gb of RAM. I'm now working on an artwork that is 4900x200 pixels, has already 120 layers and tons of small details in it and the S9 Fe is still managing well without hiccups or slow downs. I have a 4Gb tablet as well and it can't handle the artwork anymore, it's stopped when I wasn't even halfway through. For the 9 Fe with 256Gb of storage and 8Gb of memory, I paid €400. That's still less than that way older iPad. The extra investment for the better screen, better color accuracy, better cpu/gpu and more memory and storage makes all the difference for me and is worth the extra investment.

[@omega_omi4847]

Im about to get the galaxy tab s6 lite, inspired by your slightly older video on it, Since im already in the Samsung ecosystem and my main drawing app for years has been ibis makes the most since for me personally Also i believe it has room to add a Micro Sd card for more storage :]]

[@awwastor]

for art I don’t really use any of the features of the newer pencils. I’m pretty slow when it comes to drawing anyway, which might be part of it, but i generally just click the buttons and adjust everything on the screen manually. When note taking, I use the squeeze feature a lot to switch colors/tools (btw: for a great note taking app and a pretty good pdf viewer on the iPad, Noteful is amazing. The free version is alright, but Pro costs $10 one time, it’s great) but it never really comes in handy when drawing - too many options to choose from and modify for it to be useful.

Find a Samsung Tab S8+ for a good deal (like $350-400) and you'll be set for a loooong while (like next 5 years with smooth experience throughout). If you go for s6 lite... well... it's not smooth to begin with, and it'll choke in a couple years with the way how software and internet gets bloated.

The IPad and Samsung tab are pointless for those who do art on the PC. The learning curve isn't that bad on the screenless tablets, and they don't break as quickly. Mouse users are already half the way there. It's the same in that you need to coordinate your mouse position with the cursor position on the screen. Also, once you learn how to use the non screen tablets, there is no bonus to having a screen tablet. Only down sides due to the added tech. If you don't want to do art on your PC, then the iPad or Samsung tab is fine to use. But you're limiting yourself.

I tried a screenless tablet and hated that not only I have to sit at my desk, but also have to stare at my monitor instead of screen. For me tablets like this are about comfort and seeing what I'm drawing, like with paper but better. I sold a screenless tablet. To each their own.

[@ajwalker4416]

Agreed. Although I do have an S6 Lite (2024) and love it, I use a pen tablet on my PC. I do draw on my S6 Lite but it's also used for other tablet things when I am out and about. But I have little use for it once I get home with a full-fledged PC and 27-inch monitor.

[@festivalpirate]

used a screenless tablet for a few years before getting a Samsung tab + it has definitely helped me a lot

[@ajwalker4416]

@@youarebymyside Yes. I use both. When I'm at my desk, which is often, it's easier to draw sitting upright with a big monitor. When I'm away from my computer or want to be away from my computer, I use my S6 Lite.

Bummer, I got 3 s6 lites 2022.

I have recently bought a Xiaomi pad 6 for drawing but I don't have the pencil now so i use a xp pen deco 1 version 02 So my question is should I buy a Xiaomi pencil or just use the graphic tab with it

[@grellowny6978]

Drawing purely on the tablet seems more comfortable, so get the pen

[@caspermultiverse]

Get the pen. i immediately bought the pen with xiaomi pad 6. Works smoothly.

Hey Brad about the ai generated voice over... it is speaking in Hindi but the choice of words are too old. We don't use those words in our day today lives. Some of them I am not even sure what they mean.

Accidentally/for error, I used another language for the video. Which sounds... not like you. So I was scared that you where "stolen" your yt channel. Glad is not the case.

[@chuzzbot]

Pushing people into the Apple ecosystem, OK then. Not that bold, I guess.

[@Hepasta]

wtf j'ai du son en français !

[@Aman_Mondal]

Buy a PC thats the correct way. Also you don't need to pay for software most of them can be found pirated for Windows on certain sites that I can't name here 😂. Also Windows is a full fledged operating system so it will not cripple your creativity by not doing what you want it to do. If you already have a Samsung or ipad just get the Easy canvas app and then use those tabs as pen display for your PC.

[@BenMalas]

Can you take your PC to bed or in a corner table at your favorite coffee shop?

[@lunafox5571]

Krita is literally free and open source too, so you don't really need to crack as a beginner! Heck, you can even still use krita for professional work..

[@Aman_Mondal]

@@BenMalas Unironically you can after all Mini PCs and Handheld PCs like Rog Ally exist. And those can literally charge using a smartphone power bank. So yeah PCs are still the best option.

[@Testingflirt]

pc are still expensive

[@Aman_Mondal]

@@Testingflirt You can literally make one under $180 😒 BRUH STOP LYING. ALL YOU NEED IS GOOD ENOUGH CPU WITH INTEGRATED GRAPHICS, ATLEAST 16GBs RAM, AND A 1TB STORAGE, YOU CAN GET A BOTTOM OF THE TIER MOTHERBOARD, CASES AND POWER SUPPLIES ARE CHEAP, CHEAP DISPLAYS CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE, BUT SINCE YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE A TABLET YOU CAN REUSE THAT, NOW JUST BUY A TABLET OR REUSE YOUR SAMSUNG OR APPLE TAB. THERE YOU GO PROBLEMS SOLVED. JUST SAY THAT YOU GUYS ARE LAZY CUZ IF ANYONE GAVE ME THE OPTION TO PERMANENTLY OWN A COPY OF CSP EX I WOULD HAPPILY GET A PC SINCE CSP IS JUST THAT GOOD. BUT I GUESS THE US IS TOO MUCH POPULATED WITH IPAD KIDS 🤣. Btw you can add a GPU WAY DOWN THE LINE WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE EARNED SOMETHING OR WANT TO PLAY GAMES TOO SO YEAH PCS ARE STILL BETTER

Использовать яблочный карандаш для рисования в 2024 году это в целом плохая идея, независимо от его модели.
