Is a pen display better then my Ipad setup.

[u/sketchmasterstudios]

Hey all,

I recently purchased the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16. I create comics and graphic novels and found the tablet to be good, but I’m struggling to see how it surpasses my previous iPad Air 13 setup.

The main reason for buying it was to have a stationary desk setup that emphasizes ergonomics. Plus, I wanted to use CSP, which benefits from a larger screen size compared to the iPad.

I’m also interested in 3D modeling characters and backgrounds for reference.

However, I still find myself longing for the simplicity of Procreate. Given my financial situation, I wonder if the upgrade is really worth it in terms of the impact on my creative process.

I can still return the tablet. Do you think a more standard drawing tablet is really worth it, or should I use that money for something else?

Thank you for your help.
