Kanva 16 seems pretty cool. That's what I would get if I were gonna buy a screen-based tablet.

I'm still trying to get my head around trying to draw on a Wacom Intuos because amazing animators like Bahi JD use an Intuos, as do many other japanese animators. They manage such specificity of line without look at their hand while they draw... And I think it's better for posture because you're looking at the screen at a 90 degree angle instead of looking down at a tablet, which just exacerbates forward head syndrome.

You could try using the pen for other non-drawing tasks you're used to doing already - like I was photo editing with a mouse, then switched to an intuos for roto and I think that helped rewire my coordination, imagining it as just a fancy mouse to start.

Yeah I use a wacom intuos when I'm animating in Maya, which I do around 40-50 hours a week for work, so I am really comfortable with a tablet. Just getting the specificity of it for linework when working in Photoshop is tough.

I was thinking of going really crazy and trying to train myself the way that inbetweeners in Japan are trained, where they have to draw 1000 perfect circles either on paper or using an intuos before they are allowed to start drawing in-between drawings at some studios. A french guy who went over there to work in anime got stuck drawing circles 12 hours a day for 3 months until he could produce 1000 perfect ones. But after that his drawing skills apparently leveled up, and he did say that kind of hand/eye discipline is necessary for the complexity of inbetween drawings they do over there.

I'm suddenly having an issue with my Kamvas where the pen randomly loses pressure. I've tried toggling Windows Ink and changing the nib, but I'm not finding a consistent fix. Anyone experienced similar issues?

Its mostly the driver issues, you have to contact Huion support, tell them whats your board is and your system's version, if theres log files send it to them too.
I dont know do they have EN support team so you can try for a shot, and you re welcome to come back Id be happy to help.

Btw I bought Cintiq 16 (DTK168) couple months ago and Id like to share my experiences.

It has 2k resolution and 60hz fps, three ports (1x Type-c data transfer, 1x mini-hdmi video input, 1x type-c power supply)

It works perfectly with my mac (Mac mini m4 pro) and my pc, the pen tracing is more accurate than my last screen cintiq pro 16 (dth167).
If your using a mac and happens to have a spare thunderbolt port, you only require one capble to connect it (Plug it to Type-c data transfer port, the mac alone can power it), fantastic right?
It boasts a higher screen-to-body ratio, offering significantly more visual workspace than the DTK1661 and DTH167. I find it exceptionally well-suited for entry-level and professional artists with no specific demands for 4K resolution and a large display.

Pro pen 3 is much thiner with pro pen 2, pretty much as thin as pro pen 2 slim but the tip side there has no annoying “bulge”, but if you prefer it be thicker it comes with two pen sleeves, one is slightly thicker and the other one is almost same with pro pen 2.

The weight is heavier than dtk1661 (I kinda forgot how much exactly), but lighter than dth167.

It was some combination of dynamic lighting for windows and general logitech fuckery. Just disabling dynamic lighting didn't work, but eventually I managed to figure it out. I have no doubt the problem will reappear after an update and I'll have to repeat the rite somehow.

Thats... kinda unexpected, tablet issue due to windows lighting and logitech bug, do you mind share how did you solved it? Because I think some of my tablet issues might related with these too (My gears re not logitech though they are Razer but I think it could be worse at some point)

hello

i currently draw on an ipad pro in procreate or adobe fresco. this is absolutely fine for my skill level, but i am an old nerd and absolutely prefer being on pc for creative stuff, so i am looking at display tablets for pc. def not in the cintiq price bracket, looking at huions and xp pens under 300 or so. been watching a lot of brad colbow and reading 7pens.

looking at these three from huion
kamvas 13 v3
huion kamvas pro 16 v2
huion kamvas 22

the thing i can't really get a sense of is how much i'd appreciate the improved pen tech and maybe better screen res/tech on the newer, smaller models versus just having a bigass 22" tablet that's a 4-5 year old design. if anyone's got any insight here, recs in the xp-pen realm, whatever, i'm all ears.

I've drawn and used pretty much every size at this point.

I just bought the gen 3 huion you posted for my work machine ($200 AUD at the moment) but haven't received it yet. 13inches isn't that different from an iPad or surface pro, but at least you can run native Mac/PC apps on them. I might post here when it comes if I remember.

The big screens are a different experience. I think mine is a 22inch huion, but way older than the ones on the market now. Being able to use desktop apps with a large screen is good actually. If I was buying from scratch again, if probably get myself another large 2.5k or 4k huion to fool around with blender and nomad sculpt. That is though, more of a $600-800 AUD purchase.

Not an expert, I just draw a lot on different devices.
It just depends on your budget.
