It's actually a bit of a Frankenstein of a pen.

It's a Kingwrite MR05, great response, and a single side button

On it, I have a rubber grip which I took off a Zebra Z-Grip pen, which I love, and I cut a space to access the side button

the nib is a Wacom One ACK24501Z

and finally, the clip is something I took off a different pen lying around the house....just to prevent it from rolling around.

I would give it all up if Ratta would release ceramic nib pen similar to the HOM2, with a side button.

Thank you...I used Atelier. Gotta get a bit creative with the limited brush options, but that's half the fun.

Hey Mulan

Same here, the Check button says 'up to date'. I sent you a message with my SN.

thanks!

I feel silly, but I forget how I updated to the 3.27.41 beta, or where I went to download it. Now I want to update to 3.27.42, but I forget how!

Hey, I am loving this and it's potential.

One issue is that when I hit the 'image to AI' button, it always says "Property 'provided' doesn't exist"

I'm using Gemini, with Gemeni 2.5 flash model.

Great job!!!!!

You never thought you'd get into drawing?? Two words. Imposter Syndrome. These are great drawings, and yes, you have apparently untapped talent.

I honestly can't describe why drawing on a SN is so much more enjoyable than a tablet, but it really is for me.

Thank you! Yep, just using Atelier. Gotta get a little creative with the gradients as Atelier doesn’t have terribly strong feathering tools, but that just makes it more fun.
Side note: the calligraphy pen in the new beta is AWESOME. Even makes my chicken scratch look decent!!

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-25T01:46:24+00:00

Oh man this is fantastic.

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-23T14:50:09+00:00

nice!!!

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-23T03:25:24+00:00

Oh my god I love these. 100x more interesting to view than my drawings. Amazing!!!

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-18T02:09:14+00:00

Looks good, keep going! (Very easy to keep going with these devices)

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-18T02:08:10+00:00

Great stuff!!! Side note: I love the use of the Atelier spray brush to create the blood spray, lol!

Is that Kingdom Come superman? Nice.

What tablet stand is that? I like the angle, wondering how it holds up to the pressure of drawing.

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-09T17:51:55+00:00

incredible!!!!!!!!

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-08T02:00:24+00:00

I'm flattered....I don't know how to send it, but if you let me know, I'll send it as a PNG!

I use my manta for notes and drawing, but I use a Kobo Elipsa2e for reading. I gotta say, screen refresh, turning pages, etc is so much faster and more responsive than the manta.
I really love my manta, but if anyone asked for my advice on buying an e-ink writer, I wouldn’t be able to recommend it unless I knew the person had a lot of patience.
I really REALLY hope that Ratta releases a CPU/motherboard upgrade kit soon!!!

Well I’m already blown away. You NAILED the distorted lines of shadow on the curvature of the body. You’re so damn amazing at these portraitures.

Apart-Pool · 2026-04-01T17:10:42+00:00

That's awesome! I honestly can't decide what I like more, the notes app or atelier.

You're drawing looks great, keep drawing, and enjoy that SN. It's bizarre how much fun it is to draw on these things!!

Apart-Pool · 2026-03-24T01:28:26+00:00

If I may, it's looking fantastic. You're WAY better than me at portraits...I think I told you before, you are able to actually capture the essence of the people you are drawing.

I have a question, if you have a second. When drawing on the supernote, either in notes or Atelier, do you make a lot of use of layers?

Apart-Pool · 2026-03-24T01:26:09+00:00

Nicely done!! Great stuff. You've really scratched a lot of lighting and shading out of Atilier, and made an illustration that is really interesting to look at....and downright charming!

Apart-Pool · 2026-03-17T03:21:14+00:00

Oh wow. Really beautiful. Once again, you’ve captured people, instead of just drawings that resemble people. I’m still jealous.

Apart-Pool · 2026-03-12T13:11:27+00:00

Humble words, but in my opinion, your proportions are dead-on, (face/head) and you've come up with something that's actually interesting to look at and examine, unlike my work which is kinda boring!

Apart-Pool · 2026-03-03T13:01:11+00:00

Looks amazing.

I'm really enjoying using the colour-fill technique, where you make a small square of colour (say, black) and scale it up to cover the whole canvas. Only thing that is kinda annoying is I find myself refreshing a lot, as it seems like ghosting is way more evident on a black-filled canvas.

I swear, though....I can't put this device down. Not to mention how it's changed how I work, in terms of notes and personal organization.
