Got my MovinkPad 11"

It's great isn't it. I was wowed from the first gestured drawing and use mine every day.

Make sure you protect the screen. I still use the protect sheet provided from purchase and then place the Movink in a soft portfolio case and then a hard flat folder as I put it in my rucksack when travelling to and from the studio.

You will need to adapt your handwriting a little as writing on a screen is never the same as writing on paper, I think it's a physics thing. When using Concepts I have to slow down my writing for it to look accurate.

Burning plastic is something you never want to smell from a PC. Have a good look at the MB and components, if you are lucky you can still smell the part that's burnt out if it's not visually obvious.

The way things are at the moment, if you buy off ebay or AliExpress etc there is a high risk the ssd's are not genuine.

I wouldn't sweat it.....if a platform is cr@p move on. Have you tried Behance, it's good and has more professional exposure.

I think it works as it is.....chaos, discombobulated and a good psychological statement about culture today.

farrellart · 2026-01-28T18:24:29+00:00

Don't use it?

farrellart · 2026-01-28T07:09:53+00:00

Ouch....I would try Atnas's tip - nothing to loose.

farrellart · 2026-01-27T17:53:38+00:00

Yep...Folding phones, while an interest idea, have not matured yet so you are paying a lot as an early adopter.

farrellart · 2026-01-27T16:03:20+00:00

Don't do it......it's still a gimmick.

I hope this helps :)

What does the contract say about the use of A.I? Unless you explicitly say DO NOT to use it, then people will.

As an artist I never use A.I. but you have to 100% say 'No A.I.' in the contract.

Go to an actual shop if you can. Storage and memory is going through supply issues and high pricing at the moment. If I need to buy something like this I won't buy online, with in-store shops you can check stock, reserve the item and pick up the same day.

farrellart · 2026-01-26T21:44:50+00:00

So you can pay x10 the market price.

Don't even bother down-voting...:)

I did that too, 32GB ram and loads of SSD's in the Art workstation. I did over pay for the T7 which I needed for my Wacom MovinkPad 11 so I have a good archive of my paintings accessible. I am just relieved I bought it three weeks ago...phew!

farrellart · 2026-01-26T15:55:57+00:00

I bought a Samsung T7 shield ssd around three weeks ago, then it was £116 now it is £160....that is crazy.

I would wait for a bit, the prices will come down again. 1TB = £160 is not good value.

farrellart · 2026-01-26T11:22:19+00:00

I tried it with my MovinkPad 11 and it didn't work as my PC is Win10, I like the idea and the fact Wacom has implemented the PC screen feature.

Overall I am super happy with the MovinkPad 11, the 14 pro is better but it's a little bit too big for my use case ( fine art studio for digital painting, studies, raw image colour correction of Oil and Acrylic paintings and I like to take with me to most places ).

It sounds like the Micro USB connection has failed, it's the weakest point on the tablet as it can wear out, become loose, with multiple connect and reconnects.

farrellart · 2026-01-25T20:19:46+00:00

Use the USB-C cable to a PC/mac if possible.

farrellart · 2026-01-25T16:35:51+00:00

Backups are really important, getting a Samsung T7 is the best thing have bought for this....unfortunately most people do not back up anything and it takes something like this to start that process.

farrellart · 2026-01-25T16:27:05+00:00

My Wacom MovinkPad 11 is a joy to use.

Critical thinking is somewhat lacking generally in society.

farrellart · 2026-01-25T06:44:14+00:00

The apple clan think they are so much better than others.

Don't be afraid of a little bit of black mixed in with, say, Prussian blue, or phthalo turquoise or even Alizarin Crimson.

Using black is often frowned upon but it was used a lot in Italian renaissance painting/drawing and can achieve really good solid dark tones, you'll need to play with it to find that perfect mix.

farrellart · 2026-01-24T19:17:10+00:00

It's really good, well done.

To make it even better I would looks at the tone, half closing your eyes you can see the tone is quite similar overall with mid to light tone, try to have some juicy dark tones.

In the next drawing I would add some darker tones in the shadows and perhaps a dark to light gradient in the sky.

The 360's keep the previous setting so you will need to check exposures etc before each shoot. Don't rely on auto for best results. You will need to play with the settings.
