Magic Pro 13
Inspiration often lives in isolated moments: a landscape, an everyday object, or a quick glance on the go. The joy of creation is in breaking the border, letting new connection and possibility grow naturally.
The new Magic Pro 13 brings this boundless imagination to life. Whether capturing inspiration outdoors or transitioning to drawing display mode at your desk, a synchronized ecosystem of hardware and software brings inspiration from every space together.
This time, XPPen collaborates with world-renowned digital painting app ibisPaint. Guided by three distinct creative cues, we invite you to re-imagine their connections and craft an unexpected world.
