Wacom vs xp-pen

hi there so i am looking at getting a graphics display for my son who is interested in getting into drawing heavily etc.

Now is there a reason to not buy a xppen over a wacom or vice versa ?

More after issues of software ease of use etc rather than price

 

i got a Huion Kamvas for the wife while she studied Graphic design, She loves it and does everything she needs.

I got it on a flash sale otherwise i was looking at the XP-Pen aswell.
From all the research i did, unless your making money of the Wacom its not worth the extra $$ over the XP-Pen or Kamvas (some recommended the Kamvas over the wacom due to the textured screen)

 

Thanks I will research that up this week

 

have you considered an iPad air/pro instead? It's more like a Cintiq, but procreate is an awesome app for drawing. Works well with mac based apps too if you use sidecar (e.g. photoshop)

 

This is good advice. I've used lots of different types of graphics tablets. As well as owned Cintiqs and XP Artist pads.

Even back when I got my XP artist 16 like... 4 or 5? years ago. I was pretty impressed with it. I did encouter some driver issues. But the Wacom drivers are also very finicky. But I havent used any of the graphics tablets from the last 3 or so years. So things have probably improved alot.

Honestly. Unless you are a pro. Get a Huion or XPpen. Size is important. Don't get anything smaller than a 15.6"

 

I have slightly considered it but not really looking at a independent solution at the moment. Looking for just something that will work with his pc

 

late to this party - but if you still havnt made the purchase then I'd add to the the "bang for buck" vote and go with the xp-pen. i use the 15.6 artist version, which i believe was updated this year to the xp-pen innovator, tho the difference between the models is minor at best.

If the issue of money was not an object (relatively) i would STILL not go with the wacom - but rather up my drawing size to the xp-pen 24" Artist pro model. For one thing, it has an actual useful stand
