Xp pen artist 12 pro it’s nice cause it’s got a bunch of buttons and a scroll wheel but it’s not super clunky like my old kamvas 13, I really wanna model and 3d print a wall holder for it though so I can store it out of the way but in reach
Thanks for the reply. Looking at getting my kid something that she can use on different devices. Though she seems to be deadset on wanting an ipad. (ugh)
I mean personally I think this one would be involved for a kid, there’s just so much wiring, iPads honestly aren’t the worst for drawing, they have access to procreate, but you’re locked into their ecosystem. My other drawing tablet is a Samsung Galaxy tab S7, I looked for a long time to find a dedicated android tablet that had pressure sensitivity and a built in pen, and at the time of my research (about two years ago) that was the absolute best option, and it works fantastically
That’s awesome! I should clarify though cause I’m said it weirdly. not that this one is complicated, I just mean that the galaxy tab is way more portable since it’s actually a mobile device rather than a pheriphal. Either way if I was still young and I got something like this for drawing I would have been STOKED. I hope she enjoys whatever you go for!
I have one from school and I had to set up a samba server to transfer files (bigger than like 20mb, the small ones I could have transferred with the same software we use to download worksheets that the teachers upload, but that’s browser only too) before we got a cloud from the school. I HATE the iPad, I can’t even automatically copy the files from my note taking app to the cloud, I have to do it manually.
Her grandfather has one, but he has the high dollar version and thinks she’s going to somehow talk one of the family into getting her one. The best she got out of anyone was a chromebook.

Oh, she was raised on Linux. She’ll do fine with that and have already shown it to her and she’s excited.

What went wrong, that she wants an iPad then?

I guess they seem pretty nice if you don’t care about customizability or compatibility with other devices.
iPad with Procreate is hard to beat. Especially for smaller hands.
