So, I'm heavily debating on upgrading to a XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet but I'm not sure if dropping that kind of money into a new tablet is a good investment.

So the quick rundown is that I am currently using a XP-Pen Artist 13.3 drawing tablet that I purchased barely a year ago-ish?

From the moment I bought it, I forgot about pencil and papers and now I make my sketches directly in Photoshop. I must say that I haven't noticed a meaningful advance in coloring, but it's much better when it comes to drawing, an unresolved matter for tablets.

I love my tablet dearly and can work with it no problem, but wonder if upgrading again might benefit me and/or my art.


Have you found any benefits in upgrading to a XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro graphics tablet ( amazon.co.uk/Graphics-Drawing-Artist22E-Pressure-Sensitivity/dp/B07CP1LMHJ ), over other tablets? What kind of benefits?

I know the XP-Pen Artist has been the cheap best drawing tablet for some time now, and I’ve always wanted to go that direction. I do a lot of digital illustration and design in Photoshop and Illustrator, and I’ve invested a lot in these apps (both in terms of experience/knowledge, and custom brushes/tool presets).

So I’m just trying to decide what might fit my needs best for the ability to do professional-quality digital illustration, both on the go and and my desktop. What are your experiences with this option?

Hi, Yuenan! Welcome to the Playground! Your name looks Chinese – cool! I'm of Chinese descent!

I have absolutely no idea whether you should upgrade, and I'm not sure whether that one you have in mind is really the "cheapest and best", but I hope that my reply to this thread will help get the ball rolling!

Give it some more time. A year isn't enough time to just upgrade. I've used a few tablets in my life (bamboo and xp-pen) and they all feel the same to me.

If your still on the fence maybe try and find someone local to you who has the pen or a similar pen you're looking for and see if you can use it for awhile.
