REVIEW – As someone who has been using Wacom graphics and display tablets for most of my career as an art director, I (finally) began to chafe at how expensive Wacom tablets became. It’s now even more true when you factor in price vs. quality. True, Wacom was—and still may be—the best money can buy.
REVIEW – There’s an interesting fact many people looking to buy a graphics tablet maybe don’t consider—size. Oh, I know size is a factor because the larger the tablet, the more it costs. But there’s something else and it’s this: If a display tablet is 16 in. or less, it will not be the main

REVIEW – Throughout my career as an art director, I’ve used many drawing tablets, displays, and even a few Apple iPads.

REVIEW – My daughter is a young and upcoming artist, and she likes to play around with designs in her head and then draw out something funny on the tablet.

REVIEW – In my multi-year career as an art director and children’s book designer, I’ve used quite a few graphics tablets. And over the past few years, I’ve reviewed many other graphics tablets, both with and without screens. Some I now use every day in my work—I like them that much. And while I may

REVIEW – I create digital media as part of my job. It’s nothing fancy and I wouldn’t consider myself an artist. I create technical documents and training materials including videos for the field technicians who work for my company. In this role, I use several different programs like Photoshop for image editing, Camtasia for videos,

REVIEW – In economics, there is something called the “Trickle-down Theory”, meaning the best of a few years ago works its way down to the rest of us mere mortals. While you may or may not agree with that theory, it does hold true for many products—notably display tablets. Features that were only in high-end
NEWS – If you are a photo retoucher, animator, or illustrator and don’t know the name Xencelabs, that may change this year. Xencelabs is the latest (I think) graphics tablet maker to attempt to overshadow Wacom, the king of tablets. Last year, I reviewed the Xencelabs Medium Pen Tablet With Quick Keys and said it

REVIEW – I have been a DIYer for many years, and I often sketch ideas on paper. I would often end up with the idea I wanted but not before a pile of discarded paper with flawed sketches filled the garbage can next to me. Then there is my 7-year-old daughter who is really interested
