Even as you complete tasks continuously for several hours, the tablet does not overheat or get uncomfortable to use.ĭespite having the highest price tag in this review, it currently has a very competitive price for a tablet from the Cintiq range and for its size. The high refresh rate means that there is no noticeable lag as you make pen strokes. Wacom’s reputation for build quality continues to excel here, and the drawing experience has further improved from its predecessor with a superior pen and matt screen. With compatible software, this enables an animator to execute almost any type of brush stroke with maximum accuracy. Drawing tablet reviews Overall best all-round winner – Wacom Cintiq 22ĭimensions: 22 x 10.5 x 0.7 inches | Display Area (Active Area): 21.5 x 10.4 inches | Item Weight: 3.3 pounds | Display Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Pixel | Screen Size: 21.5 inches | Connectivity Type: USB cable | Supported Software: Windows and Mac operating systems | Battery Power: AC power | Multi-Touch: Yes | Pen Pressure Level: 8192 Levels (via pro pen 2) | Express Keys: N/A | Customizable Express Keys: NoĪside from the very generous 22 inch workspace, one of the first aspects you will notice about the Wacom Cintiq 22 drawing tablet are the 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity achieved through Wacom’s pro pen 2. So although the price tag is still comparatively high, the incredible performance of Wacom’s Cintiq 22 drawing tablet is within many more animators’ reach, and therefore in our opinion takes the win. Despite the fact that Wacom’s Cintiq Pro 24 is currently dominating the professional studio market, and yes is superior to the Cintiq 22, for a lot of animators the price is just too high. Overall and despite the many other excellent contenders to the Wacom dynastie, the overall winners and best all-rounders for animation is for us the Wacom Cintiq 22. So the above and below carefully sourced 7 tablets form a list of what we consider to be some of the best products currently available.

It has tilt recognition, multitouch capability, Bluetooth, 8 Express Keys, and a convenient touch ring for analog functions to boot.įor speed and efficiency we only review the products that we feel are the most worthy of selection, and this often results in a list that is a little smaller than the “10 best” collections we commonly see elsewhere.

It has fantastic build quality, accuracy, precision, and comes in both medium and large options (not to mention the popular “S” model featured below). For animators and creators looking for a graphics tablet, but still want a professional graded product, then the Wacom Intuos Pro is a worthy option.
