Wacom One by Medium

Advantages: Before we start, disclaimer: I'm not just not an artist. In general, I drew the last time at school) And I bought a tablet, because I always liked to draw, but to bathe with a workplace, materials, canvases, etc. no time just. As entertainment. Well, I also really liked speedarts on YouTube. It seemed that nothing complicated and wanted the same) - The tablet is really a decent size. I have a problem - I like to draw on a small scale. When I draw small things with a pen, it turns out awesome. When you start transferring to a large format, it's a nightmare. I think this is because the hand is not placed and the lines are not accurate. On a small scale, you can think of it, but on a large scale it turns out crooked. So on a tablet, when you draw small things, they become larger (the movement of the pen in 1 cm is not equal to 1 cm of the segment on the screen, because the diagonals are different). On a small tablet, this effect would be greater. And things that take up the entire working area on the screen would be drawn on a tablet in a size of several centimeters. But with this size, it will turn out to draw small details, and draw large ones comfortably. You don't always need to zoom in on the canvas this way. - There were no problems with positioning accuracy, the accuracy of the pen and its usability also do not arise.

Disadvantages: - Really short power cable! About 90 centimeters. This is enough for me only to connect to the front panel of the system unit. Naturally, I get confused in the wires that I put under my elbow and one day I get confused, I pull the cord and the tablet will fall. I could run the cable on the right side of the tablet, and connect it to the back of the system unit, but it doesn't work that way. The tablet cannot be deployed, and I did not want to steam with configs. Maybe someday, when I drop it, I will correct the config and connect it correctly) But damn it, all the same! Is it that the fashion has gone or what? I bought a webcam, too, the cable barely reaches the socket. - Matt finish on the work area. It is very tenacious, like a small skin or something. It is really convenient in the sense that the pen glides over it like a pencil on rough paper, and it simulates real sensations. But damn it, people write about the fact that feathers wear off quickly, and the coating also wears off. This is very bad. So I decided to buy a matte film from the iPad and somehow recreated that feeling, but without risking the pen and the work area (branded films are unreasonably expensive, I think).The film is still not so rough, but it still creates some resistance and you can work. - Buttons are not enough) In reality, it would be more convenient to have a button for dragging the canvas, for canceling the last action, under the eyedropper for choosing a color. And you can only set two - on the pen. Well, this is a budget solution, so I understand why this is so. In principle, these buttons are enough, but one more would save time.

Comment: In general, the sensations are mixed. On the one hand, I'm glad, because drawing is really convenient, and I would never draw such things with a mouse. But on the other hand, it took a very long time to get used to it. I never learned how to draw straight lines or even hatch on paper, and even more so. Drawing on a tablet is more unusual than on paper, and this makes it a little more difficult. But on the other hand, if you draw with your hands on paper normally, then everything should work out on a tablet. But even if the hands are crooked, you can still draw quite familiar things. To make it clear, I will attach two drawings with a duration of a day. On the first one I tried to feel the tablet (I haven't felt it until now), and on the second I tried to draw something decent. The second drawing was drawn from the reference, not copied. Well, you have to understand that for many years I have not taken a pencil or a brush in my hands. And at school he painted just above average. So even if you draw on average, you can do something adequate on a tablet, it will take longer to draw and refine. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase. For 5,000 rubles I bought a tablet in one of the large stores and for this money what I bought is quite fine. There are some inconveniences, but this is understandable if you keep in mind the price category of the tablet (the most deshman). By the way, there were no problems with the drivers. I downloaded what they recommended from the site (only the firewood itself and the WACOM Desktop Center) and everything worked the first time. Although the sensitivity curve had to be changed - I didn't want to make a hole in the tablet on the first day)) Fortunately, this is done quickly and easily.

Advantages: Large area, convenient when working with graphics

Disadvantages: Sometimes it becomes necessary to "reboot" the device. Pull out the cable and insert it back. Treats some jams.

Comment: Great product for the price. It is inferior to older comrades in quality, while it has the best price / quality ratio

Advantages: Very easy to use, plugged in and start painting in just a couple of minutes The tablet is incredibly light and thin Minimalist design. Almost the entire surface of the tablet is working

Disadvantages: Some may have problems with the drivers during the initial installation, personally I had no problems

Comment: Perhaps the absence of buttons on the tablet will confuse someone, but mostly both professionals and beginners use a separate keyboard / remote control when drawing, as it is always more convenient and intuitive than pressing buttons on the tablet itself. For such a price, the tablet is ideal! In general, for beginners this tablet is more than enough as a hobby, but for professional work it may well fit.

Advantages: Good size, sensitivity, easy to set up.

Disadvantages: A matte surface that wears off the nib in a couple of weeks.

Comment: I bought a tablet for teaching mathematics. For me it was a new experience, before that it did not work with similar devices.What do I want to note after 3 months? For drawing, I used the free Microsoft Whitebord from the Microsoft Store, for mathematics it is more than enough. In the zoom included a screen demonstration and the child can see everything perfectly. Of the minuses, I would note that the pen erases quickly enough. This moment is solved in 3 ways: 1) it is to order feathers from China, they cost a penny there. I ordered a long time ago, but have not received it yet. 2) do not remove the original packaging. Make a hole with nail scissors under the cable and draw straight on the polyethylene. I worked like this for 1 month and, in principle, the pen was not erased at all, you could continue to work like this. 3) buy a protective film, it costs about 200 rubles. A month later, that's exactly what I did. The disadvantages of this approach are that the film is very easily soiled. Collects all prints. Another such nuance, I bought 2 pieces and one set has a pen play in the pen itself. When touched, the pen falls sharply inward by a millimeter. It disappeared when the pen was rotated about the longitudinal axis by a couple of degrees, but it was still unpleasant.

Advantages: Since I haven't used anything like this before, at the moment, I like everything. It is convenient to check mistakes in work, draw, work with a virtual board.

Comment:

Advantages: The quality of the materials. Pen sensitivity. Line quality

Disadvantages: There is a lack of official instructions for optimizing Windows and Photoshop.

Comment: The size of the working plane is larger than A5, slightly smaller than A4. The working plane is proportional to the monitor screen (at factory settings). Those. the corner or middle of the entire monitor screen matches the corner / middle of the tablet. The protective film is smoother than the original rough surface. If in Photoshop all lines are drawn as with a mouse, look on the Internet for instructions from enthusiasts on the topic "pen press is not displayed in Photoshop." If you don't like the fact that when you press and hold the pen, the same thing happens as when you press the right mouse button (for example, a floating panel pops up), disable this in the control panel - hardware and sound - pen and touch input - change the parameters of the tablet pen - click and hold - options - use press and hold as a right click - uncheck. Drivers are downloaded from the official site. There were no problems when installing on windows 10.

Advantages: extra buttons on the tablet, lots of spare pens. rich equipment.

Disadvantages: the software is damp, flimsy buttons on the pen. I lost my orientation a couple of times (I'm left-handed, right-handed children).

Comment: this is my first tablet. I bought it simply because the children wanted it. Therefore, more lies idle. rather did not meet expectations - I thought there would be masterpieces. But you have to learn. ) I tried so far only in the artrage4 program. I tried to make a masterpiece with the help of the video from the channel "well, draw" but did not figure out how to paint and mix paint. The general conclusion is that it works well and is more than enough for the first tablet. Experience required. I attached the picture below, drawn immediately after the purchase by a person who did not take the hands of 20 years in his hands. If we remove the high expectations (I have never met them before), then the tablet is 5+

Advantages: It turned out to be very useful when working remotely, when clearly, with the help of diagrams, you need to convey the essence of your idea - just share the screen and at least sketch out in any editor. Great replacement for flipcharts. As long as it does not creak anywhere, the pen is comfortable.

Disadvantages: the buttons on the pen interfere a little, since I hardly use them

Comment:

Advantages: Easy to use, connect. The format is almost A4.

Disadvantages: No disadvantages !!!

Comment: I teach remotely using this tablet. It saves a lot of time, you do not need to make presentations, but you write or draw immediately, like on a regular board.

Advantages: Price, assembly

Disadvantages: The buttons do not wobble a bit, it would be better if this rocker felt fixed. The wire often bends at the junction and wears out, it will have to be replaced sooner or later in 1-1.5k

Comment: I have been using the tablet for about six months, which is not very long, as a beginner, it suits me. I myself used to only occasionally sketch something. I took the tablet for animation, I'm still studying, but I'm not putting in a lot of effort. Includes 3 spare tips and 1 pen. The tip comes out about 3mm, for half a year of not very active use and light pressure, 1mm has worn off. I put a sheet of paper on top of the scratches. Not long ago I noticed the numbers on spare sticks, I don't know what they mean
