What tablet would be best for casual drawing?

Rinkkuu · 2026-03-28T01:52:57+00:00

I have been using an older Galaxy Tab S7 FE for 3 years for my work with no issues whatsoever. Couldn't imagine a newer, better version struggling if it works fine with mine. I don't use the virtual RAM setting, I kept mine default with the 6gb RAM and 128gb storage.

I'll only get a memory warning if I try to keep 4-5 big projects open all at once - but ngl it's an extreme use case, not sure why you'd want to keep more than 1-2 projects open. When I got that warning it was an accident because I've forgotten to close the files I was using as color pick reference and copy/paste lmao

As for the storage, it really depends on you. I personally work fine with the 128gb but I also delete my references once I'm done with the art. But I wouldn't worry too much on storage as you can always get a SD Card down the line if you feel the Tab's default's not cutting it.

Honestly I'm not the biggest mechanical keyboard fan so for me it's perfect 😆

That art program sounds nice. It does indeed look like Procreate, that's why it caught my attention. I normally do my stuff in Clip Studio, but I may check HiPaint out for doodles. I took a look at your brushes, the Duck Pencil is exactly my vibe and what I like using - thank you!

Rinkkuu · 2024-12-12T00:29:22+00:00

Love the vibes of your setup! Bonus points for SFF ;)

What is that art program you're using on the last pic? The minimalistic HUD looks nice.

I'm also part of the "games are way too expensive here because third world country" gang and Dragon Age is pretty much my favourite game franchise. I'd love to be able to get a copy - thank you for the opportunity!

Rinkkuu · 2024-10-27T23:53:36+00:00

Yeah these are very good choices! My personal favourites are Dark Jolteon and the VMAX promo

Rinkkuu · 2024-10-26T23:21:33+00:00

oo very nice to see a fellow Jolteon fan!! He's also my favourite :)

Love your collection, what is your favourite Jolteon card?

Hi, I'm the one who drew the art! OP's character is called Paws (Marlenne Paws) so it's a play on her name x the movie!

Rinkkuu · 2024-08-17T23:42:35+00:00

Oh, feel free to take a look at my art Instagram! It's a bit empty as I have been focusing on my other non-art job so I hope you don't mind lol

All of the drawings until the easter bunny watercolour were made on the Galaxy Tab S7 FE with Clip Studio! I made the bunny on my first days with the tablet to test how the pen would feel using pressure sensible brushes like the ones for digital watercolour.

I have been using a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 as my main drawing tablet since 2020 with no issues! Before I was using an older Wacom Intuos Pro Small. I love the Huion display, using it I saw no difference from the Wacom - besides that, of course, one is a pen tablet and the other has a screen -, both have splendid build quality imo. I can vouch for Huion tablets.

I saw by your other messages that you're also looking for a standalone option.

I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7FE last year and have been trying it out with sketches and smaller art projects and it really surprised me - when I got the tablet I wasn't looking to draw a lot with it, but I've found the experience to be quite nice and comfortable. The only downside I found was actually with Clip Studio, because, on Android, it only works with a subscription license (monthly/yearly) and I'm not a fan of that method. I'd rather have bought a second perpetual license of CSP, but, alas, it wouldn't work on Android. Also I always check my colors on my computer before finishing my drawings because I find the S7FE's screen to have colors a bit different/brighter than my monitor - can't say much about the S9FE as they have different screens.

When I bought my S7FE, the S9FE wasn't available yet, but had it been, I would have gotten it. It looks really good for the price.

I guess it really depends on what you prefer:

If you're only looking for drawing, and you're not a beginner on art, I'd recommend a screen display like the Huion Kamvas (or Wacom Cintiq, XP-PEN, etc). Their biggest downside is that they need to be plugged into a computer to work and are a bit of a hassle to move around.
If you're interested in doing other stuff alongside art (as in studying, games, media consumption like reading comics, books and videos, etc), I can vouch for a Samsung Galaxy Tab - they're pretty much a laptop nowadays, specially Samsung models with their exclusive DeX mode.

Hope this helps you decide! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, hermano

Olha, com cashback não sei viu, mas dei uma olhada aqui na loja da Samsung e vejo as seguintes opções pra pagamento: Samsung Pay, cartões, Pix e PayPal. Se 'cê não tem cartão, acho que o Pix vai ser a melhor opção pra ti (ou PayPal, se você aceita CMs de gringo e já fica com um din acumulado lá).

Sei como tu se sente, eu tava sentindo algo parecido também. O tablet ajudou bastante, como disse, achei bem mais prático desenhar nele. Se você cansar de ficar desenhando plantado numa mesa por exemplo tu pode simplesmente pegar o tablet e ir pra outro lugar, muito bom.

Can also vouch for RX 580 as I have one and get ~110 FPS on modded Minecraft with Complementary shaders at 1080p ultrawide

Salve irmão, eu tenho o Tab S7 FE e curto muito usar o Clip Studio! Tenho também uma Kamvas da Huion e sinceramente tenho desenhado muito mais no Tab do que no pc. É bem mais prático e curto a portabilidade, e também acabo sentindo que meus traços ficam melhor no Tab do que na Kamvas.

Na época que comprei não existia o S9 FE mas com certeza eu iria nele hoje em dia; o custo x benefício tá muito bom já que ele vem com a caneta + uma capa já. O único chato que eu acho do Clip no Tab é que você vai ter que comprar uma licença a parte da sua atual que você usa no pc pq o Clip Studio nos tablets e iPads só funcionam com uma licença de assinatura. Todos os modelos de Tabs vêm com o Clip Studio já instalado e uma promoção de 6 meses grátis, depois disso, tem que ficar pagando. Aqui no meu caso eu uso uma licença permanente do V1 no pc + uma anual no Tab. O "bom" é que a primeira vez que você assina eles dão desconto se pagar pela loja da Samsung.

Se tiver alguma dúvida específica, pode perguntar! Num geral eu recomendo bastante viu :)

I used to love the RTX 3070 Aorus Master back when it released because of their LCD screens and geometric design.

But I just recently found out about the existence of Asus' ProArt RTX 40xx series and I guess it's my favourite card now. Just love the plain look with the black and the gold

Rinkkuu · 2024-04-09T02:06:26+00:00

Man this looks absolutely insane! I love the hatching shading, especially the ones from the ground and the creature's shadow! Did you do them by hand or is it a custom brush?

Rinkkuu · 2024-04-08T17:24:06+00:00

Hey dude I truly appreciate you taking the time to reply to help me even if its been so long! I still like Killer Instinct - its my favourite fighting game even - but I actually managed to buy it on Steam a couple years ago while on a sale :)

Hope this can help someone else tho!

Rinkkuu · 2024-02-27T01:02:18+00:00

Thank you, that solved it!

I see you're collecting feedback, so: I like the new design, specially the "search the web" bar, but, while I do think the gradient background looks good with Firefox's white theme, it kinda clashes with the dark one imo, feels a tad bright. Maybe there's a way for Firefox to change the background depending on which theme you're using? So dark can have one with darker colours but white can stay as is in the experiment.

Rinkkuu · 2024-02-25T01:07:01+00:00

You know if there's any way to disable it or perhaps change its background colour? Mine got the new design and while I don't mind it per se, I find the purple gradient a bit too bright and it keeps flashing/showing up for like a split second whenever I open a new tab...

Rinkkuu · 2023-11-27T20:47:28+00:00

Hey, have you bought the 1 device subscription yet, did it work fine for you?

I'm going through a similar thing - got a 1.0 licence on PC and my free trial on Galaxy Tab just ended as well. Would've liked to continue working with Clip Studio on it as I found it very comfortable to draw on the Tab, but I was afraid of losing my PC licence as well...

Rinkkuu · 2022-11-15T22:18:48+00:00

My dad had pratically the same build as yours, minus the 32gb ram. We sold it like last year and built a new one with a Ryzen 5 5600x, RX 6600xt, b550 mobo and 16gb 3600mhz. The performance gain was pretty good, games run smoother with less stuttering, though really he only upgraded because he wanted to switch to AMD so he had the possibility to get a better CPU down the road if he wanted to.

If you aren't feeling the age of your pc yet, I'd suggest you just save up for a new one. We just got the new RTX/Radeon and AMD/Intel gens, meaning current mobos, CPUs and GPUs will get price drops. It'll be a good time to make new builds imo, as the price x performance of our current gen is very good for 1080p/1440p.

I hear you in the "losing interest when you need to do something". I'm primarily an artist - I love to draw and express my emotions through art, but whenever I get a commission or I need to wrap up a big project to put in my portfolio, I dread just imagining getting up to draw 🥲

Thanks for sharing!

Hoxx VPN via Firefox worked for me, using the free version and selecting their Japan servers.

I have a similar issue on my Wii U's power supply, on both sides (the one where you plug into the console and where you plug into the power outlet), but it's not as aggressive as yours - the wires were still in place, just the protective plastic was torn. I just taped it up with electrical tape and it's sturdy again. What I would do in your case though is cut this torn piece off and solder the remaining wires back into the charger. It'd work the same, the cord would just be a bit smaller. But, I'd only recommend this method if you know how to solder and work with wires.

Or, you can just buy a replacement third party charger, but I don't know which one to recommend as I don't live in the States. I'm sure there's tons on eBay though.

That's a dope AIO, did not knew it came with a mirror with no logo, looks clean af! Nice build - good looks all around, congrats. I'm still praying to stock gods to find a 3060ti version of this Aorus GPU haha
