When it comes to digital art, a drawing tablet is an essential tool for any artist, whether you're a beginner or a pro. There are many options available on the market, but two popular brands for novice digital artists are XP Pen and Wacom. In this post, we'll compare these two brands and their entry-level drawing tablets to help you decide which one is best for you.

Wacom Vs XP Pen 

XP Pen is a Chinese company that has been around for over a decade. They offer a wide range of drawing tablets for artists, including entry-level models like the StarG640 and the StarG640S. These tablets are both affordable and feature a 6x4 inch drawing area, which is perfect for beginners who want a smaller drawing surface. Both tablets also come with a battery-free stylus, which means you don't have to worry about charging it before use.

Wacom, on the other hand, is a Japanese company that has been a leader in the digital art industry for over 30 years. Their entry-level tablet is the Wacom Intuos, which is available in several sizes, including a small 6x3.7 inch model. The Wacom Intuos also comes with a battery-free stylus, and it has an active area that is slightly larger than the XP Pen tablets.

Quality of Build 

When it comes to build quality, both XP Pen and Wacom tablets are well-constructed and feel solid in the hand. The XP Pen tablets have a plastic body, while the Wacom Intuos has a more premium feel with a sleek, matte black finish.

Features

In terms of features, both XP Pen and Wacom tablets come with a variety of customization options. Both brands allow you to customize the shortcut buttons and the pressure sensitivity of the stylus. The Wacom Intuos also has a touch ring that can be configured to control brush size or zoom, which is a nice added feature. 

Software Compatibility

When it comes to software, XP Pen tablets work with most major digital art software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Corel Painter. The Wacom Intuos also works with these programs, but it also comes with a free software bundle that includes Corel Painter Essentials and Clip Studio Paint Pro.

In terms of price, XP Pen tablets are generally more affordable than the Wacom Intuos. However, it's important to note that the Wacom Intuos comes with a free software bundle, which could offset the cost difference.

Verdict 

In conclusion, both XP Pen and Wacom offer great entry-level drawing tablets for novice digital artists. The XP Pen tablets are more affordable and have a slightly smaller drawing area, while the Wacom Intuos has a slightly larger drawing area and comes with a free software bundle.

Ultimately, the choice between the two will come down to personal preference and budget. For Messiah, the verdict is with Wacom Inutios as the design of the tablet comes with more thoughtfulness for the user in mind. Easy to store the pen nibs and a holder for the pen attached to the tablet, Messiah has found it super convenient and commute-friendly.

Both brands are well-constructed and offer a variety of customization options, so you can't go wrong with either one.
