This is a super long video of some casual sketching! Goal here is to apply what I learned from some figure studies I did earlier in the day.

Let's talk about the Wacom Cintiq 16 in 2023
Does it work with Bitfocus Companion app like the Stream Deck?
Spotted one of these for about £40 today on AliExpress and took a punt. After watching your video I can see I'm not going to regret it, thanks!
We drawing overly sexual characters with this one 🗣️🔥🔥
I'm currently deciding between the Cintiq Pro 16, Xencelabs 16 and Huion Kamvas 19. All of them at the same price range, but this device just caught my attention... Pen displays get crazy expensive the higher the resolution and the more accurate you want the colors to be, but why should I spend more for that? My workflow allows me to ignore the colors and image quality for like 80% of the time which means that I could invest that money for a better monitor and fix colors there. I legit could work on a worn out screen with permanent burn-in and still be cool with it. The Wacom alternatives I mentioned sound enticing, but will they last longer than 3-5 years? Questions questions...
All things to consider for sure! I have some other tablet reviews worthy of a watch, I go over quite a lot. (under my hardware reviews) XP Pen should be considered, as their Artist Pro 16 gen2 is pretty awesome. Good luck on your journey!
Where can i get the software for the app? I got it used and do not have the manual and can not figure out how to use it.
Software link is on the back of your device;
did the software come in the box i was thinking of setting it up before it got here
You download the software from the link on the back of the device
@@XPISigmaArt i just ordered the device so its not here yet
You won't be able to set up anything without it plugged in
I can get this for £300, would you recommend the tablet at that price?
The comparable xp pen is at that price but new. Check out my cintiq 16 vs artist pro 16 video 👍
good video, but whats the point in sexualizing her..
Nice video!!
Thank you!
Thank you
So would you suggest the larger cintiq if I want 22(?) inches or are there better modern models in similar sizes?
No, Wacom's offerings are way too pricey. I'd check out the competitors and you'll find much better value.
Nice video and interesting device. Is it possible to make Macro with it ?
Yep! Macros are totally a thing
Ty, i didnt know how to config the obs things and this tutorial helped me a lot. sub+like 4 u
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Jamming that Pokemon TCG OST in the background, legend.
Absolutely killer soundtrack!
Have you ever tried the Artist Pro 16 Gen 2? Wacom has the Cintiq 16 on sale for 500 USD, which puts it at the same price. So unsure which of the two I should pick up.
The Pro 16 Gen2 has a lot more oomph than the Cintiq 16. You're getting much nicer (and way more modern) tech for the price with the XP Pen right now!
Do you think a 16in is enough or is 24 worth getting?
16 is a great in-between, and from what I've seen offer the best bang for your buck. I've yet to see a feature loaded device over 16in for a good price! Hopefully soon.
@@XPISigmaArt Ty!!! ♥️ I honestly have been struggling between the 2. The 24 is nice but it’s a bit tiring and I feel makes my work slower. I have an artist 16 gen 2 which works really nicely.
@@Zobi.Sketch That's a really good way to look at it! It allows for wider strokes, but is it really worth the amount of desk real estate it takes up? Hmmm
Can you make a toggle button? a button with multiple actions ?
Only toggles I found are toggling audio sources (through an audio plugin you can get). But there are folders, where you can put multiple actions into at least
video with reaper
It'll work the same way, you'll just set up hotkeys to match with Reaper's.
I just bought a cheap stream deck (Mirabox) and didn’t know how to set it up! OBS was giving me trouble and this solved it. Thanks a lot!
I bought the same stream dock slim, however, I've ran into a bit of an issue.. when I first downloaded the software, the default black and white arrow icons for going through pages was available and working, the system monitoring was enabled too, however, since I was playing with the software I reset the data in the options.. now, system monitoring and those white arrow icons are not available to me, I've tried reseting the data again and deleting the software, and then redownloading it, but nothing has worked to get it back smh.. would appreciate any amount of advice.. Edit: I've also checked the icon library..
They updated the icons! You can always find other arrows to your liking or create your own too. Or just use a black icon, and throw an ascii arrow in there as the title 🡸 🡺 🡹 🡻 🡼 🡽 🡾 🡿
Thanks for the installer
What program are you using. I'm looking to make the switch from paper to digital and looking into programs.
I use Paint Tool Sai 2. I'd recommend looking into Krita and Clip Studio Paint.
Wow this helped out so much!!!
Dude, Thank-you. Much appreciated, few videos show the functioning/usefulness set up and issues encountered with this product. Thank-you
Im between this cintiq 16 and xp pen pro 16 gen 2, can't decide which one choose, is parallax too visible on the cintiq? Id appreciate an answer please! D:
It's quite large. Screen on the Pro 16 Gen2 is much nicer. Check out my pro 16 comparison video, same can be said for the Gen 2! ua-cam.com/video/n0L5I6nQLOg/v-deo.html
I realized what golden week was and I feel like it's too late to put together a golden bikini right now lol. Great speedpaint!
Never too late! It's still something artists are posting on Twitter!
Thanks the software seems quite good actually
I have some issues with downloading plugins and icons. after I click the download button, they do not download anything and stay still. do you have any idea how to solve this???
Which one? Were you talking about the blue "Install" button in the store page?
@@XPISigmaArt yesssirrrr
I'm having the same problem. Have you solved this problem?
wait a fucking second you're that guy on sketch who draws smut every 12 minutes. anyway, would you recommend the huion pro 16 2.5k? seems to be in a pretty similiar price range to the artist pro 16 gen2.
Hahaha. So that Huion is really nice. Great specs all around. But for the price, I don't think I can warrant it. Price to performance, the Pro 16 gen2 is nicer.
@@XPISigmaArt if price isn't an issue would you still recommend it? or is the pro 16 gen2 just in general the superior tablet? it seems like both tablets are extremely similar in terms of quality so I've had a difficult time comparing the two.
@@lordvegetables They're super similar, but you get the 16k levels of pressure on the XP-Pen!
CLEAN!
🫧🫧🫧🫧🫧
yo lm thinking of getting the new huion kamvas pro 19. its about 200 more than the cintiq 16. whats your experience with huion ( should l be worried about the driver problems that are talked about when it comes to huion and xp pen) or would u rather get the xp pen artist pro 16 gen 2? btw can u show us the screen side by side so we can see the different color accuracies thx
The Pro 16 GEN2 honestly offers much more bang for your buck. It's not touch or 4k, but it's double the pressure sensitivity and just a few inches smaller (and half the price). I personally would go for the Artist Pro 16 GEN2 in this case! I recommend to check out more vids about the GEN2. But if you're set, I'd appreciate using my store link in my description if you go the XP Pen route :)
@@XPISigmaArt thanks when l do get it (saving up rn) lm use your link dw
@@artami3074not a pro here but i draw often as a hobby so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The 16k pressure sensitivity feels like no different than 8k sensitivity cintiq gives heck i would even say you WILL NOT NOTICE the difference between a 4k vs 16k pressure levels. It all comes down to drawing expirience and how good the Pen draws and well no surprise wacom wins that and by quite a margin. The competitors are getting better but wacom pens SPECIFICALLY Wacom pro pen 2 stays as the best pen i have ever touched, it has no real issues like Wobbly diagonal lines on huion and xp pen tablets. For that i had bought a kamvas 2021 and the PW550 Slim pen which the newer tablets comes with and it still does have wobbly lines although reduced and hey they also got rid of the Iconic huion taper after drawing a line.
Hey Bro.. Another clue how to configure multiple hotkeys on same button ?
Make a folder and plop in those hot keys, and a back button!
@@XPISigmaArt sorry if I didn't explained clearly... Take example of a game that to activate something I need to press 6-7 keys, how to I configure one button and pressed that will automatically run the 6-7 keys ?
@@robertleow9987 Ohh like a macro sequence! So find Operation Flow, and drag Action Flow into a button-square. From there, double click and you'll see an empty area. Drag in the hotkeys you want/mouse presses/etc. That'll be your inputs. Put a delay between them (under Operation Flow) and you can make macros looks like! I haven't personally tested it out yet, I'll play with it later after I finish work.
Great video, can you install the same plugins that come for elgato software?
There are different plugins, but OBS, Photoshop and stuff like that is there. Also you can make your own hotkey shortcuts so if it's not available you can just make it.
Hello, how is it? I bought mine 6 months ago, and I actually got mine replaced lately due to some company's fault issues (I received it today), the issue is when every time I tap and press the upper left side of the screen, the entire screen malfunctions and shuts off. Do you have any advice on how to effectively manage this tablet, I'm scared to have that kind of problem again. TwT
I've used a lot of tablets and I've never encountered that! I'd say treat it like the usual. Don't bend it, drop it, and be gentle with it always. Manufacturing errors like that can't be totally avoided so don't sweat that too much, just be as safe as you can be! (also kind of related, I drop my pen multiple times a day and it still functions, if that says anything)
@@XPISigmaArt Thanks for the fast reply! Their service is really great; it kind of surprises me how they've guessed the problem correctly. Before I asked them on their website's live chat, the problem started on itself, like the screen literally flickers and malfunctions at times. Then I asked their service about this issue; they told me and asked me to press the upper edge of the tablet. After doing so, the tablet showed some problems like the one I mentioned above, and they replied back that this was a company issue or defect, as it seems. I was honestly impressed by their service to be able to guess the problem without checking the tablet physically. The replacement process has been great so far, with no issues at all, and it went smoothly after I returned the defective tablet to them. I hope my experience will help others that are planning to buy this tablet as well, rest assured! their warranty service is really great based from my experiences.
Thank you! and lastly, because the tablet is so thin, you will feel it is bendy and fragile every time you carry it. I truly suggest that you all use a longer and bigger tablet holder that perfectly fits its size. I use a book holder that is large enough to support the entire tablet. Since the tablet is heavy and slender, I wouldn't really advise using a little tablet holder for it as it may hurt the tablet over time. I hope this is useful for your viewers!
Thank you very much for the thoughtful review. I am currently torn on spending around 10% more for the xp pen artist pro 16 gen 1 or getting the xp pen artist 16 2nd generation (non pro) or the Huion kamvas 16 pro. If you have used the latter, which one would you recommend?
Get the GEN2, the upgrades are totally worth it for the price! Huion are good but I haven't had direct experience with it. If you do end up purchasing an XP-Pen, please consider my links in the description :)
Man thanks so much for your contribution
If you're using an app like Photoshop, or indeed any drawing software, aren't the icons and tools really small on a screen this size? I'm looking to use Adobe Animate but on a screen this size I don't know if I'd be able to see all the tiny menus well enough.
I've never found it too small for Clip Studio, Sai, Mojo, or Adobe Animate. Plus, if something is too small you can always change Windows display scaling to be higher. But I always use it at 100% and it's fine for me.
@@XPISigmaArt Ah nice, thanks for the reply
thanks for the software download that helped a lot reseting mine up
Glad it helped!
thanks bro
MISS GURL! THAT SHI WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME AN HOUR TO DO!! AND IM TWO ART COURSES AHEAD!!! TOU ARE FREAKING AMAZING ❤❤❤ OMFG I GOT A LIKE!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your process!
Mine is coming on Sunday and it will be my first time trying to draw and I think I made a good choice. I was going to get the rumored new iPad Air 12.9", but it keeps getting delayed and I want to learn to draw NOW! I got the Artist 15.6 Pro for a great price of $220.14 before tax. How I got the deal for anyone curious: You need a PC, and Amazon account, and eBay account. I had the Capital One Shopping extension installed and looked up the XP-PEN on Amazon. The Capital One Shopping extension recommended a lower price on eBay, so I clicked on their recommendation. On the final page of checking out, Capital One adds a discount code. I don't know if the deal will change or not in the future, but the product is new from XP-Pen's official eBay account
quite good software tour
Are the settings saved into the dock? Like... do you need to do this on every device you own? For example I set those buttons on my home PC. Now if I want to go out of town and bring my two laptops, do I need to install the sofware again on each laptops and configure it again?
Unfortunately nope. I found you need to back up the folder that stores the settings, which I'm pretty sure is the install folder itself.
Thank you for this video. I love your process Xpi. I want to ask how long does it usually take for a peice from start to finish cause I tend to worry a bit when it takes too long on a drawing for me lol
The sketch can take the longest usually. But if it goes well, then 2 to 3 hours is a good estimate! Can take longer though for sure.
Always room for more Artists on UA-cam! This looks awesome.
Thank you! I really need to make a new intro though haha.
Очень интересное и полезное видео, спасибо вам❤
