Hi, everyone! Today I'm here to review the XPPen Drawing Display: Artist Ultra 16Today marks 9 months since I received this pen display, so I've had the chance to thoroughly test out all the features it has to offer, and I'd like to share my experience with you :)The first time I picked up the display it felt like a high-quality product: the box, the packaging, the color calibration report, the case for both styluses... I loved it! 💖I wasn't sure if the color calibration report differed across devices, so I started looking into other videos and reviews that covered this topic. I have to say that I ended up with a very interesting unit, with an Adobe RGB Avg. Delta E of 0.97, whereas the models I saw had values of 0.99, 1.01, and 1.07.To understand the meaning of Delta E, I will include information from the Profesional Review website, by author Breixo Gómez:From 0 to 1, it is not perceptible to the human eye.From 1 to 2, it is perceptible upon close observation. Therefore, a professional might be able to detect it.From 2 to 10, it is perceptible at a glance.From 11 to 49, the colors are more similar than opposite.When the value is 100, the colors are completely opposite.The XPPen website specifies that the units have a Delta E<1.1 (these are average values and apply only to Adobe RGB). Therefore, all units have color differences that are imperceptible to the human eye 👀The display itself is well-built, but it’s also true that it can sometimes feel like it “creaks”. I’m not quite sure why that is, and it doesn’t bother me personally, but it’s something to keep in mind because, when you hold it in your hands, it can feel “less premium” than it actually is.What I loved about the unboxing were all the accessories included in the box: from the stylus case, the cables, the reinforced glove, the replacement nibs, the ACK05 Shortcut Remote... It’s those little details that make buying a graphics tablet feel like a complete experience, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than plugging it in.And speaking of connecting the tablet, I have to admit that graphics tablets with displays are the most complicated to connect. The most common problems are that the HDMI doesn't detect the screen, that the screen resolution isn't correct, or that the power supply is insufficient... My recommendation is that you first check the product specifications and manual to make sure you'll be able to connect it without any problems.This is especially useful to know if you need to use the device at high brightness in a remote location or on a laptop, because this model has the European Union’s ENERGY Label with an E rating (10kWh/1000h), as stated on the "EU energy labelling requirements" web page: from class A (dark green), representing the most energy-efficient products, to class G (red), which are the least efficient.Another thing I liked about the tablet's design is the included stand. It's up to you whether you want to attach it or not. Personally, I already have a portable stand (ACS05), so I didn't feel the need to attach it to the tablet, but it's nice that it comes separately to make the pen display lighter.The Artist Ultra 16 display is without a doubt the best I've ever seen. Color accuracy is one of the things that has troubled me the most throughout my journey in digital drawing, since you have to make sure colors are consistent across all devices. Some screens lean more toward red, others toward blue, but having that assurance that the colors will be reproduced close to how you envisioned them is very rewarding.A few minor details I should mention are that, at least in my case, the X3 Pro Smart Stylus has a slight issue when lifting the tip off the display—an issue known as "drawing while hovering". It’s minor but noticeable from time to time, so I had to adjust the pressure curve to mitigate the problem :S(Here are my settings in case you experience the same issue. Just keep in mind that this doesn't completely solve the problem, since that's more of a hardware issue).The touch feature has also helped me on several occasions, especially when organizing tools, so I don’t have to move my hand back and forth, but keep in mind if you live in a hot climate or have sweaty hands (as I do) that the sweat can seep through the glove and activate the touch feature. The XPPen drivers have different settings so that the touch function can only be activated in the floating menu or "outside" of the custom area, although I found it strange that the “Customize” option doesn’t allow you to do the opposite—that is, to choose the “inside” area where the touch function can only work.Despite everything, I still think the Artist Ultra 16 is the best drawing display I've ever had: its colors, the quality of the materials, and the texture of the display make me want to keep drawing every day! ^_^I just hope that someday there will be a Pro Slim Stylus with felt tips or tips made of some other material, because I love switching up my stylus, heh heh :P

I’ve occasionally come across people who wonder if the Magic Note Pad works like any other tablet or if it’s just for taking notes or drawing. In this post, I’m here to answer that question.Does the Magic Note Pad support games?The short answer is… Yes! Of course! At first, I also had my doubts about whether the tablet could handle it, but after a few months of testing some games that don’t run properly on my phone or cause it to overheat, I’m here to share my experience:PUBG MOBILEIt was the first game I tried after the collaboration with XP Pen. This is the first time I’ve played a game like this, and on my phone I had a lot of performance issues... It would freeze or overheat. However, on the Magic Note Pad I had no problems. It works wonderfully, without freezing, slowing down, or overheating.Your only concern is the storage space it takes up, since it can take up as much as 30GB, but in my case, it's at 12GB. This happens on all devices, so it's a very common problem.HOK: HONOR OF KINGSSometimes the home screen video can freeze, but that’s very common when you’re first launching the game. The outfits, graphics, and gameplay run smoothly—there are no loading issues or slowdowns, unless your internet connection is acting up.I’ve been playing for a month now, and the game is working great. The only thing is that, like PUBG, it can take up a lot of internal storage. Right now, it’s using 13 GB.SKY: CHILDREN OF THE LIGHTI didn't play it much because I was usually alone and didn't really know the mechanics well. As I got used to it and explored the map, I got to meet a lot of players and discover many places. It runs smoothly and everything loads well; the graphics look great. It's very different from other games, but it's entertaining, and most importantly, it's the game that uses the least amount of internal memory despite all the features it has.EXTRAJust to clarify, playing these games a lot will cause your battery to drain faster than usual, but there's no need to worry; the battery lasts for hours when fully charged, and it's normal for games to use up battery power.

So, this is the result after watching the practice pose drawing pose by XPPen. What I would like to improve on is the dynamic movement of the pose to show more emotion. I'd also like to practice on the muscles and body anatomy because during my practice, I kept drawing the torso too long. The video was pretty helpful in my opinion! it helped some of my mistakes. Especially when the artist drew these simple blocky shapes on the arms. I like it!I also did a full coloured art after these ones.Here's the result: I wanted to try out more colours here as you can tell. In conclusion, this was a super fun tutorial to do! Again, gave me helpful tips that I will keep in mind for my future art journey. I have nothing more to say but to say thank you for checking out this post and taking your time to read all of this til the end. Have a good time participating! Go Bold, Be Real. #XPPenTutorialPractice

I have been using the "How to draw body" tutorial, and im very impressed with the results. Usually, i draw the anatomy using only ovals , but i feel like this technique is more precise and correct.Link to the tutorial: How to Draw Body | Giveaway: Jul 17–27participating in the giveaway btw uwu

Every digital artist has that ONE thing in their drawing software that makes them want to throw their tablet out the window. For me as i am a begginer animator and illustrator both, it is lack of brushes in the animation software, mismatching frames, brushes that stop working and the lag that can be solved only by turning off the whole tablet😡? What's the most frustrating thing you've experienced with your drawing software?Tell me which software you use and what annoys you about it. I'm curious to see if other artists have the same problems.
