A few questions regarding art tablets

[mysterionz]

I’m gonna be buying the art tablet I’ve been wanting on Wednesday when my paycheck goes in. Are there any accessories for art tablets that would make the drawing experience better? What screen recording software should I get to record speed paints? Any tips I should know?

I had a Wacom tablet briefly when I was 11 but it didn’t work with my computer/I wasn’t patient to learn it. The tablet wasn’t a screen tablet so I would have to look up at my computer when drawing to make sure the process goes smoothly.

You might start here...and even google other concerns just to see what pops up. I always wanted a tablet years ago but couldn't afford the expense at the time, and continued using a mouse <cringe> for all my graphics work. I never learned to use a stylus.

I had 2 tablets in my life, a Wacom one with screen, and Huion without one. Of course drawing on the screen, while also seeing what you are drawing, is so much easier, than drawing blindly. But it all comes to the habit and practice. What I can suggest is to have a tablet glove, so it smoothly goes over the screen, when you move your hand. And it's nice to order different...uh, endings for the stylus, to see which ones you prefer more. That's it from me, I didn't draw much in my life, and now I don't have a tablet and money to buy it heh
Good luck and enjoy the process!

Screen recording software, generally OBS would probably do. It's a bit irritating to set up sometimes but it is free and works well. But you have to remember to have plenty of space available, a recording like that is going to be a very large video file.

You'd need something to edit it as well to speed it up.

And I didnt know there even were accessories for Wacom tablets. I have one myself somewhere, but it only got used like 3 times and then I jammed it into a box and left it there, who knows what even happened to the stylus.

The idea of drawing on one surface but the lines appearing on a different one, yeah, that didnt click. Not that I liked the iPad any better once I got that stupid thing.

I have 2TB of storage on my desktop which will be no issue

Go to trustpilot!for the store you're buying it from, if! you need any info, a lot of companies pay lip service to customer service, they'll sell then you! suffer don't buy from apple.com their customer service is a front for getting literally no help
