i want these types of tablets where you can draw on it while not looking up at the dumb computer. they're so expensive though xD
***** I need one because I use them for 3d modeling
***** You COULD buy a Surface Pro 3,I also hear the Galaxy Tab 4 are decent for drawing. The Surface is as expensive as you make it since you can choose what processor and how much memory it gets, but you'd spend about $700 for the base surface (don't forget it's trying to replace your laptop too), The Galaxy Tab 4 is $300. BUT NEITHER of these devices would out perform the Cintiq, but you'd at least have the screen you wanted to draw on. I don't know if you tried it, but drawing and looking a the screen becomes natural, but I too will upgrade to a Cintuq, but it isn't hard adjusting to look at the screen.
I know what you mean. Those poverty graphic tablets are awkward to draw on. I decided to ditch mine and got a Cintiq 13HD instead.
***** a cheaper way would be biking, i'll help with posture and its a good exercise, i also have some neck and back problems ( i draw on my legs, traditionally) so yeah, i also have a intuos but at this time im just practcing enough to use my tablet and use it to make some money for a cintiq.
***** ive tried biking only from a recomendation of a friend. idk about anything else :( just be sure to take breaks. i hope you get better soon, friend.
A good thing to remember if you are choosing between a 13" and 22" or 24" model is that the pixel density ppi is much higher on the 13" since all of there are 1920x1080 pixels. So the 13" Cintiq has 166 ppi and for example the 24" has only 91 ppi. (For comparison: a MacBook Pro Retina has 226ppi). Something to think about if you prioritize a more crisp and high ppi image over bigger screen room.
You're probably right. That maybe the reason why the color on my cintiq is much more vivid than it was on my computer :/
I love the smudge guard glove, thanks so much for the link. I needed something like this for so long, I had no idea it existed!!
Great video man! You draw so beautifully! I definitely plan on getting a Cintiq 13HD one day.
did you draw this in photoshop? and how can you set it up so that you can use it in length? also how did you set it up so that you only have canvas and no menu of what ever program you where using?
He makes drawing look so easy ;~;
Great review! Thank you so much. You answered all the questions I had about this tablet :) great drawing too!
This is the perfect review for me. Answered all of my questions perfectly. I have a bamboo at the moment and was looking to upgrade to something with a screen that wasn't ridiculously expensive.
Great review! It was a pleasure watching you work on the Cintiq. And... don't worry about your English at all. It's much better than many native English speakers. 12:06 Heheheh... what was that!?
agree bro...
Hi I Reiq! Big fan I was wondering when you switched from portrait to landscape mode, how did you get your photoshop tool bars to move with the screen?
I was walking the line between CintiQ 13HD and 22HD - 13HD had the edge because it is very compact to carry around with the laptop and my only concern was will it be big enough to allow me a natural drawing feeling. And now as I've seen you playing around, I have decided to buy it! Thank you very much mate, I appreciate it! :) Keep up the good work!
Ordered mine today! Thanks for the video. It helped me pull the trigger.
Hi Reiq! I've just bought an Wacom Intuos Pro, i always drawed on paper and it's been a big change for me, i've seen that you use a glove to draw on the tablet and many other guys seem to use it to, do you recommend me using one? will it make easier the transition to digital? Thanks and Cheers from Argentina!
hey reiq how do you rotate the screen and the tool bars to portrait mode like you did here?
Fantastic drawing of your girl Alex! Love it. I just got my Wacom Cintiq 13HD and looking around for tutorials.
I like your working space! So clean and simple.
Holy crap your in my watch on deviantart your art is great
seems bout right
Ok guys listen up!!!~ I just got the Intuos Pen and Touch tablet and let me tell you .... i was stupid. Ive been drawing for the longest and if you are a traditional artist trying to go digital to keep up with the times, i fell like you should try this. Even though i haven't tried this, this seems easier because it seems that in this one you can actually see where ur pen is going. Because I was so used to looking down at my paper i guess its harder for me to control it. But i feel like this one is best since it resembles the way of drawing on paper for people who have been drawing as long as I ( more than 17 yrs). I feel like in this one you have more control with the tablet. good luck with picking.
Jime I actually prefer the ones without screens. I have an iPad Pro (~$850) and a Veikk s640 ($26) and I prefer the Veikk s640.
@@audreyn1996 Interesting, why do you prefer the ones without screens?
your work is awesome! and I'm glad to hear more about the cintiq, been scared and unsure of what they would be like.
Thanks for the review. I really appreciated it. Really cool. I definitely agree with you on trying different techniques and ways of drawing.
I am extremely tempted to get this, I am not the greatest at digital art yet but will be working hard to improve my skills. I really want to get the 13 hd however the main thing that worries me is the screen size, length ways there is plenty of room but I usually use the a4 portrait page in photoshop and seen as the cintiq is landscape it means zoomed out the paper will only be about a third of the screen, seems far too small for drawing characters, however the next sizes up seem far too big! can you help me at all with your opinion on this? Thanks
I keep on thinking the same thing, I know you can put shortcuts under the buttons but sometimes for colouring you might need a close pallet which to me makes it look small as well. Specially with the windows open.
I took the risk and I got one a few weeks back :) I have actually done a little review on it too if it's of some help to you :)
How are you working in portrait mode photoshop...how did you turn the display verticaly?
+Graphics Geeks but not the HUD...
Really helpful video. Been into art for a while now and want to get into digital work for future careers.. so thinking of getting this to start off. Cheers for the vid, man.
Love the Advice & Artistic Technology Recommendations Teach
I need help. I am good with a pen and paper, and want to transfer to digital art. I am looking at the 'wacom bamboo' and the intuos, but I want something with a screen. What TABLET doe guys recommend for a beginner in digital art? Thanks!
I'm on the exact same page as you! 😫
+PetalStorm 566 Same.
+PetalStorm 566 yeah, same here. The price for this is serious, but there is NO way i could possibly draw without looking directly where I'm drawing, so i can't settle for a tablet like the intuos, but i want something better than the bamboo.
+PetalStorm 566 Check this out www.samsung.com/global/microsite/2014galaxynote10.1/ I have the 2012 version and works GREAT for entry digital art. I recommend picking up Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for it as well (i think it's around $10?). Since then I've upgraded to a cintiq... I am terrible at drawing on a wacom tablet, too much of a disconnect for me to look up at a screen while drawing on a table.
+PetalStorm 566 Well, if u have the money goo with 13 hd. The only problem with 13hd is that its abit small. Just ask yourself what u really want, want your heart want and a wallet :D. And buy for yourself. But, i would recommend that u first alteast with the the lowest tablet of wacom or any esle. Just to get a feel, how this works in digitaly. At first i bought bambo and when i hate it soo much, i got myself a cintiq. The feeling is totaly different, u feel free now :).
having fun with a friend of mine :D
This was a great hands on review! I finally made the plunge and got a wacom cintiq hybrid and love it so much. It's a bit different getting used to the workflow and customizing it to my liking but I hated sketching with the intuos but now it feels natrual. :)
Thanks for helping me with Christmas shopping. Cheers.
damn wish these were cheaper
+chaz Davis Yup...I'm thinking about getting myself one of these but it cost about 12k here.
Megatron holy hell its like 2k here for top of the line give or take
chaz Davis O well...sometimes exchange rates do fuck you up... USD1 used to be around 5bucks here but recently they changed it to be fixed between 15-18 :'C
+Megatron atleast thats just ex rates xD here the taxes boosted them from 7.5k to 16k
I know right, it's a bummer.
hey, i'm just wondering, my mom told me if i got a 39.5 out of 40 in my final exam next year and I if I can get into the most fave highschool in my town, she would buy me a Wacom cintiq 12hd , and is it really worth it? because if it is, I would study my brains out from now on
*13HD
ayuzawa misaki depends on your skill
Depends. This is just a tool. It's worth it if you are serious enough about drawing/design.
It really depends. If you're very passionate about graphic design, digital art, etc. The 13HD will definitely be worth it. If you're an aspiring artist, you could always give it a try. If you're aiming to go professional, Cintiq's the way to go.
+ShadowLinkMaster okay thanks , well, my skill is okay (for a 13 y.o girl) , and i'm aming to be a professional animator :D
I just bought a 13hd, and I can't wait to receive it :D! Also, thanks for pointing out that drawing portrait style with the tablet is better to draw rather than landscape.
Thank you Reinaldo for your tutorial. You are a great artist
This is torture for a broke teenage artist that's a half a year too young to get a job ;-;
I can totally relate. I'm not a teenager anymore, but I still have to share a computer. It really sucks! :(
Well, I mean, if you're only 15 I doubt you're very good at drawing yet. I'm not saying that practice won't help you improve, but I don't think that a Cintiq is the thing you wanna buy if you're an amateur artist.
I understand exactly what you're saying. And yes while I am 15, I've had around 3 and a half years of practice. Now I'm still not all that good. And yeah a cintiq still isn't really the best for someone my age, I still like the thought of owning one (:
Blueper Draws got a cintiq 13hd for my 16 birthday this year! (: I've been drawing for 11+ years though, so your decision to buy this may be different from my own
Millvina Vane you've been drawing since you were 5? stick figures don't count fam
Question : can you draw on a tablet if your left-handed?
Yes you can
I hope so. Aren't most artist left handed?
I think so. I read somewhere that left handed people are more creative, and being an artist means you are creative, really.
Yes you can. Flip the tablet ( assuming you want the express keys to your right ) and change it in the options.
Sari al-taher Yes you can. You can change the settings on your computer. :DD
Love your drawing! Congrats! I am an art teacher and I would love one of this to create worksheets for my students and show them drawing techniques on a screen. I'll think about it!
Great job on that drawing piece!
hi today is April 08 2016, what tablet are u using now? you r amazing at drawing .I appreciate your honest review. I just bought a used wacom bamboo. I'm not an artist, really. so for now it will do, but at your level, u want a good quality tablet. thanks again, also for providing the name of software u use in your comments.
+Sandro Diclemente I'm still using my Wacom 21UX the wacom 13HD onky when I travel.
dont you need a pc to use the wacom 13hd? or is it fully portable standalone?
You'll need to have a computer of some sort for it to work, sadly- regardless I love this tablet to death If you want it to be portable, you can just use a laptop
@Tom_ I really want to buy this thing but I'm dead concerned it would be too small. My drawings are very detailed so I would need to zoom in/out a lot - is it quite easy on this tablet or a bit annoying? Thanks!
darmakiel In my time using the tablet I have never once thought that it was too small, and you see the buttons on it? You can map those to literally anything you could want I have up and down on the circle as zoom in and out, one of the buttons on undo, and etc- You can basically do anything.
Illustrations of sexy women. It's what you'll find in every single artists' collection/portfolio.
I'm an amateur...a draw something i free time...but with the mouse.I don't have this tablet,but i'm looking to buy one.facebook.com/Digital-Art-by-Danijel-Bajic-563503907140957/?fref=ts
Danijel Bajic okay then buy one? or a cheap one? what are you trying to accomplish here..?
Seems more like the entirely of my portfolio
Awesome sketch mate. Very nice work. It helped to see you work in real time. I've been looking at the Yiynova 19U but the lack of controls and some comments about where the curser sits have me concerned and the need for power plug in. I sketch on small pads anyway so this seems like the better root. Again, great work thank you.
Thanks for doing this vid! ^_^ Helped me a lot on making my decision! BUYING!!!!
I am a beginner with digital art, I'm only 16, but if I can manage to save up enough for this tablet, would it be a good idea to get it?
Have you had experience with tablets before? I would recommend getting a Bamboo tablet first. Those tablets are more user-friendly and is more gentle on the budget (the Intuos tablets usually run $300 USD or more). However, if you really want to try out the Intuos tablets, just go for it :). (I have an Intuos Pro and I've been drawing digital art as a hobbyist for 4-5 years now).
I'm getting my first tablet soon, and I'm going with the Small Wacom intuos pen & Touch, for around $80-90 on amazon. it's pretty cheap and from what I saw of it it's perfect for hobbyists and beginners.
If you're good, and you can sell your art or design work, then yes. If you're not quite there yet, start small. There was someone I heard that said in a seminar about having a studio, "Get work to get equipment, don't get equipment to get work."
Okay guys, thanks for your input ^.^
April Vang do you need a computer to use the tablet??
Entered a designing contest in which the 2nd price is a wacom cintiq 13HD. Don't even care about the 1st price!!!
did you win?
doppel banger got 3rd place... :/
Nguyễn Thái Anh well done, Im sure you will get a cintiq one day, they really are overpriced though :(
cherry coke why should I stop? Are you dumb?
cherry coke what is your point? We should stop talking about something you cant afford? And now you are intimidated because I ask you about your intelligence?
Well done! I'm sold on the Centiq and will be getting one shortly. :D
I was halfway through the video when I realized it's Reiq. Man you rock! Keep up the good work! :)
Thanks for the review! Big fan of your work!
Huge fan of your work reiq never thod I could finally see the man behind the work
Great video! fantastic illustration! I was waiting for the 13HD then I got impatient and got the 24HD. I love it. I want a 13HD for travel. I liked and subscribed! You seem to have some great channel content!
Stunningly beautiful work, I long to be even 1/2 as good as you dude!
Lol. I start looking for demos of this, what do I find... Reiq. Great work as always. Thanks for the demo and explanation of it. I'll be saving to buy one of these.
Thanks for the review & nice drawing :)
Super Video! I have used only the Wacom cintiq 13hd before and wasn't so happy with that. Leaning towards the 13.3inch xp-pen Artist 13.3 Pro drawing tablet though. It’s got the bonded screen which has less parallax.
WONDERFUL!! Outstanding work! Love it! I really want to learn how to draw like that, i really want to.
It was very helpfull to know if I should purchase mine. Awesome drawing too , thanx for the facebook link !
Thank you for this video!
Hey REIQ! Looks Cool! How you set up the photoshop not to show tools to make the canvas like you have? --> full cintiq screen?
This mighta been the best review/demo I found so far. Been really wanting one of these for a long time and I think I may finally spring for it. My only fear is that my pc tower is somewhat old... Just not sure if I have enough sockets for all the plugs this thing takes! And I can't do USB 3 I think. Guess I'll find out soon enough :) But thanks for the review, this was very informative and watching you use this product and can tell it's exactly what I want.
Great demo REIQ. Do you have a go-to set of brushes for each step: sketching, inking, shading, coloring, etc . . .?
Mine will arrive on Wednesday...so hyped!!!
Waiting for mine in the mail!
New favourite vid! Thanks REIQ. Would you recommend this to people who like to draw landscapes or would you preach the 22inch?
great review. i really love the brush you are using! which is it?
Thanks so much Reiq! :D :) Great work and WOW you draw fast! Beautiful mind imagery come into creation with your talents ;) :)
Great artwork and great review! Your work inspires my friend.
I started looking reviews and just when I started watching the video I knew it was you Reiq because of your stile, then your voice xD
I have a 21UX second gen cintiq and now I plan on getting the Hybrid Companion Cintiq combined with alienware M14 laptop, expensive setup but well worth it since I also like to draw and play video games. Finally, I'm a fan of you Reiq, you inspire me! :D
Thx reiq. I'm glad you showcased this, you're awesome.
Really helpfull review, thank you!
I usually don't post comments on youtube, but your video was incredibly informative not only for the tablet but for drawing as well. Thank you for your opinions!
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Btw, fantastic video, very inspiring. particularly love the way you did the eyes.
Great Video. Thank you for sharing. I have 2 questions. Does the cintiq 21 works ok with iMac? or do you need the adaptor for that one too? My other question is Does the tablet works also with Illustrator? or is only for Photoshop??? Thank you for your help
Thanks for review. Didnt know about this model.
What kind of brush were you using for the sketching? Was it a default Charcoal brush in photoshop or one you made yourself, I've been looking for a way to make it a natural pencil like feel for sketching on photoshop.
Thank you! So helpful. I am going to buy one of these now.
Thank you for this great review! :3
That was a good review, well made with lots of useful info and very nice to see you do an illustration during the coarse of the review, looked great! I hope one day I can afford (and justify) the cost of one of these things, they look great. But for now I just do this for fun and have an intuos 3 (that I need to still plug in & learn to use!) that will hopefully help me do some great colour work : ) Do you do video tutorials at all?? Because I would love to see one, thanks : )
Hi, thanks for the great review! What books would you recommend to read? Any specific titles?
Very nice video! I recently bought a cintiq 13HD myself. I work mainly in Corel Painter, and I'm really curious as to how you managed to get the panels/toolbox/brush-selector to align vertically with the tablet like that? I'd love to be able to do that...
Thank you for this! I was on the fence on whether it was worth it to upgrade from my Intuos Pro to the Cintiq 13HD and watching you draw on the cintiq was convincing enough :) Awesome artwork too but you probably already know that :)
I have the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro pen display, seems pretty good and considerable savings over Wacom Cintiq. Works well w Krita and Sketchbook. Fairly large screen, and it comes w a pen, glove, and a stand for the pen (w replacement tips).
you are so entertaining reiq thank you for the review
thanks for the video!!
Would you say that moving to a cintiq (or similar technology) is the standard natural progression? I currently have intuos 5, am happy with it but have always wanted a cintiq (but always too pricey). Is drawing on the cintiq any different (besides obviously seeing your hand) or was it something that takes a lot of getting used to? Plus, im seeing many cintiq 12 reducing and being sold on ebay, how would you compare this to the 12?
Best review. Very helpful
Brilliant video, very informative. Work as a freelance concept artist myself and im really excited to move onto the CintiQ as my old school Intuos 3 is getting a little run down! If you don't mind me asking, what brush is it youre sketching with throughout? It looks a bit like "Stubby Pencil"/ Thanks in advance. Again, wonderful vid
Hi! Great review and speed drawing! I must ask, what brush did you use for that awesome drawing?
Hello! what kind of graphic tablet do you recomend to starting with digital drawing? Love your work! Thanks!
Hi, is automatic the rotation of photoshop set-up when u turn the tablet in "portrait mode (vertical)? Or need to change in some option? Or too: is a mac feature, dosen't work for pc? Thank u for the answer!
oh my god. I get to try one of these things out at my college next week ;u; im so excited!
Hello Rei! what type of brush you used in your video about cintiq 13 HD? Quen you started the lines. Thank you!
thank you :) this was very insightful :3
Been happy with the surface pro that I bought for drawing. There are a few tablet computers out now that run between 1/2 and 1/3 the price of the most basic cintiq, and have the advantage of being mobile and stand alone
@reiqws I never really started any artwork ever, and I need some input. I'm interested in starting, especially with a tablet, in the digital artwork direction. I do agree that it is ignorant to not really tackle the manual pencil to paper approach, but what do you think? Do you think the digital artwork direction, using the different art programs will help advance my skills at a higher rate? Do you think that it create more opportunity for creative work for a person who doesn't know "art" much?
The HD adapter problem you talk about....Does that only apply to macbooks or is it a problem on iMac as well. Where do I buy the adapter if I want one.
I can tell you're highly skilled. You make the values and pressure sensitivity of the graphite look like a pencil and paper!
Thanks for the honest review.
Hey man! Thanks for the vid! Couple of questions for you: Does it work with CS6? Also, can it be used without the cable, or must it always be plugged into the computer? Thanks again!
great stuff, fun to watch!
Reiq...eres lo maximo..!! Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, en verdad que eres un virtuoso..!
Hi REIQ, love the video very informative and useful and you have a great style! Have you used a Galaxy note pro with sketchbook pro or similar? I'm considering it as a mobile drawing tool just wanted your thoughts? Cheers
