Timeline: 2000 : No tabletĬontext: I started being a professional illustrator with traditional painting on canvas. The plastic of the model would be recycled plastics and it would have a Free/Libre and open source driver maintained by the brand. And the brand would work at getting all future stylus retro compatible with the model, for durability. The stylus would have cheap nibs, easy to replace. The cables would be robust and standard/easy to replace: USB-C, Micro-HDMI, etc. The overlay surface would be easy to change, and cheap. A keyboard tray would be included on the top in case if I tilt the tablet like an easel.
It would work with the monitor closed as a regular tablet, or with the monitor on. It would have a built-in monitor, a quad-HD resolution.
Control of my data and privacy (I don't want companies to influence my behavior or adv).Ī: Right now, my perfect device would be of the same thickness and cold as an Intuos Pro Large but with a +10cm (or a bit more) large active area. Transparency (open-source: you can investigate any parts). Technology (performance, scripting, standards). Independence (no one have a control on what I watch, what I use and how I use it). Email me for more details.Ī: My main big reasons to use a GNU/Linux open-source system evolved a bit from 2009, it is now split into four reasons: Q: I'm a tablet company, would you like to test our tablets? I can send you a device for free to appear on this page.Ī: Yes, but only if you have an open-source driver on a GNU/Linux system and only if I'm free to tell all I want about the device. Being a 2D digital artist actually not cost a lot compare to other arts. Same answer here :-)Ī: Another analogy to musicians here: tablets are not expensive compare to a piano, a saxophone or a good instrument. Avoid the A6 size (10x15cm), they are too small to draw or paint.Ī: Ask to a professional guitarist why he has so many guitars. Q: What is the best tablet to start digital-painting with?Ī: I think a A5 sized regular tablet (medium/A5). F.A.Q:Ī: By 2023, I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro Large, you can see a photo and a quick review of it at the end of this article. This article started a decade ago and receives constant updates and new paragraph along the years of practise (last update, February 2023). This article details my experience with all the graphic tablets I used since 2002. Photo: Krita beta-testing session two monitors, four Wacom tablets (2012).
