I'm currently evaluating various cloud storage services for my digital paintings and am leaning toward Google Drive. I'd love to hear where you store your work and what you like or dislike about your chosen service.

I'm gonna get one but i need to know what is commonly accecpted to be the best
(under 400$, dont care if it can connect to pc)

Recently my computer has went out (Still have my Mac book) and while I still have my Wacom Intuos it old and has dead areas and the buttons are loud. I want to do commissions soon and want to be able to work on them at my college, so the loudness isn't an option. I want to buy a the iPad Air 5th gen as that seems like the most portable option. And I would be able to use it on planes and in cars on road trips but it's really expensive, the iPad, Apple Pencil and accessories adds up (case, keyboard, screen protector). I found one for 349.99, which seems to be a good deal. But I also know that drawing tablets are wayyy cheaper. Though might not be able to use it in the car or on air planes. And maybe less convent. I'm willing to spend extra money if its worth it,... so is it worth it?

Can anyone who is using the iPad M1 give me some experience? I plan to buy this to draw, hoping that after using it for a long time, the battery won't wear out. I'm just afraid of running out of battery quickly so I'm still hesitant about the Samsung Tab. Thank u in advance (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

I have this problem, where if I have my two monitors on while I draw, my tablet does the thing where (pardon my clumsy explanation) it treats both of the monitors as one long narrow screen, and so the speed at which the cursor moves horizontally is wildly different from how it moves vertically (bc the tablet itself ofc has the dimensions of a single monitor). And that really messes up trying to draw anything lol!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a hard-to-find setting or a piece of software I could use to temporarily limit my cursor just to a certain area.

Thing is that my tablet is an ancient dinosaur (wacom bamboo MTE-450A) that does not have fuctional drivers for my system (win 10), so I can't just set that in the tablet's own settings. I tried to google some ideas, but most people dealing with problems that come from multiple monitors seem to stuggle with video game related issues.

(Though... the price I have to pay for this problem is just that I gotta turn off my other monitor and can't watch a full sized video on it while I draw, so like, it's not gonna kill me or anything haha.)

Idk if it’s the brushes I’m using or if my blending is just kinda bad but I can’t paint without showing all my brush strokes

I don’t want brush strokes with the style I’m going for but idk how to now show them

i would consider myself an intermediate-advanced artist, and i want to improve in digital drawing/painting. specifically looking for books about illustration and concept art (even better if they're avaible on amazon since i still have a gift card).

I'm studiying rn as a 2/3D animator, lately I've been using this model (Huion camvas 12) bc a friend lend it to me, and now i want to get one on my own, any suggestions? my bugdet rn (300/350€)

I've been looking this model - Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) but im not sure if it's the best option.

Hey, just starting to get into digital painting and decided to go with Painter 2023. Can anyone recommend any good in depth tutorial videos? All that's showing up for me on youtube is short or specific tip videos. Don't mind paying for videos if it's worth it.

Also I understand you can buy additional brushes to add on, is there any recommendations or brushes I should look out for? Thanks.

I already have a pen tablet, and I've gotten used to it (I got it a year ago and use it every day for note-taking).

I want to follow the Drawabox course, but I'm worried I won't improve much using a screenless tablet.

So I have a Wacom Intuos Pro M tablet from 8 years ago, which I've used sparingly, recently I've been doing more and more stuff with the tablet. However when it comes to the market, I haven't been paying attention to new tablets at all ever since I bought it originally.

And so now that I'm actually getting more usage out of it again, it got me wondering how much had these tablets actually improved? How much cheaper have they gotten? Might it be worth getting a new one because maybe today's cheapest models are better than this decent tablet from 8 years ago?

So that's basically my question. How much progress has been made since, and what tablet would I need to buy today for it to be worth the upgrade?

i like pencil and paper stuff better i'm not a realistic artist i just draw comics type stuff. but i want to be able to make silly internet stuff too when i feel like it. i am a very weak link whenever me and my friends play roblox free draw i hate drawing with a mouse. I am a recently unemployed teenager please help me find something cheap and low quality but not a scam thxxx P.S. tips on getting better at using a mouse to draw would be appreciated too.

Hello drawing experts, I have a super niche question, I am a music composer and I need a small monitor (13 or lower) that support basically 2 things :

• the ability to touchscreen (I only need a super basic left click when I press with my finger, no précision is required, the buttons I need to press are bulky anyway)

• the ability to draw expression curves for my virtual instruments (with a stylet)

I want the device to be connected wired to windows 11 (very important) without any 3rd. party software.

I figured this sub will be the definitive space where I could find if such thing exist !

Ive been digitally painting with a mouse for a while, and while i like what i can do with this limitation, ive found my ability to do figure drawing really stunted. I can do figure drawing with a pencil just fine, just i dont like taking photos and trying to color over the drawing after the fact. So ive decided enough is enough, im going to get a drawing tablet

my only requirement is it needs to have a screen. i used to have a small tablet back in the day, but it didnt have a screen and i could barely get any use out of it bc im so used to looking at my pencil as i draw

i need something aforedable with a screen. any recs?

My current eye is on a 13in XP-Pen. but i am unsure bc i saw it recomended multiple years ago so not sure if its outdated or flawed at this point.

Hi guys! I thought this would be the best group to ask-

I have suddenly developed a brush lagging issue across every drawing software I have, including photoshop, krita, and paint tool sai. I cannot for the life of me figure out what's causing it, and it is making drawing nearly impossible. It's not my tablet or an underpowered pc, I used the same set up throughout college with absolutely no issues, (wacom cintiq 16 with an additional monitor off my laptop with it's screen in use as well.) I normally only run the software I'm using, pureref, spotify and maybe a chrome window. I have experienced none of these issues beforehand, even with large file and brush sizes. I checked to see if my boyfriend's less powerful laptop had a similar reaction, and it did, but to a much less significant degree- so much so that I think the file/brush was too large for his device and not anything else. I have seen in task manager that a ton of ram is being eaten up, but I can't figure out what from. It doesn't look like I'm running anything nonessential or different than before?

Thanks so much for any insight! I love seeing all the different works in here!

Pretty straight forward question; looking for experience.

I plan to draw relatively casually, and use it for school.

Somewhat urgent answers needed.

Hey yall, sorry to post this here I’ve tried asking in a couple other subreddits but the rules are strict about what can and can’t be posted and this was the only art one I could find that didn’t have a rule against asking about mediums

I’m in the midst of buying my first tablet for drawing. Up until this point I’ve used my finger on ibis paint or when permitted, someone else’s iPad procreate. I love procreate but it’s apple exclusive and I cant afford apple’s jacked prices. Ibis paint is great, and I’d be willing to use that alone if need be, problem is all the tablets I’ve glanced over are only compatible with androids and computers which is kind of unfortunate since I use an iPhone and want to be able to transfer art to and from my devices. I’m not against getting an apple device (after saving) if it comes down to it, but it’s my last resort atp

TLDR: Is there a tablet out there that’s cheap, ibis paint compatible, AND iPhone compatible? Preferably with touch screen options if possible. Budget: ~$300

I did do a little searching but with limited knowledge, came up short. I figured either I ask and it doesn’t exist (sad but oh well) or I don’t ask and I end up spending $500+ on an apple device I otherwise don’t need
