WAS BUYING THE WACOM CINTIQ 16 A MISTAKE?

The Cintiq 16 is surely not a bad tablet. And the full HD resolution on a 16" tablet is enough, there is a 4K craze going on at the moment it is something visual artists that doesn't work with video doesn't really need. There is a rule that many say and that is that 4k only really starts to make sense with a 32" inch monitor which is true. Most professionals using a 27" inch screen still prefer 2K on them as 4K won't bring any advantage in a normal viewing distance. Most also forget the scaling issues in many programs if you use a smaller screen, 4k on a 16 inch display? That is gonna be a big fight. I have tried most Cintiqs myself the newer and old series, and I am sure you will do fine with your regular cintiq. Also think about how much more the pro version would cost you, atleast 3 times more. I think sometimes those things are more of a want than actually a need.

Please lower that background music, and as the review goes, like when you are talking about the screen, it's better to shoot the cintiq screen, so the viewer know what your talking about, aside from that this review is really helpful, thank you

if u didnt want it please give it to me 🤤

You are mistaking 4K for the zoom level which is actually the screen size, not 4K. 4K pixels will be harder to see than 1080p pixels on the same screen size. In other words on a 4K screen of the same size you would have to zoom in even more than on a 1080p screen. What you actually want is a bigger screen like 24 inch Cintiq.

I was wondering if buying the Pro version or this one and you helped me out to decide. Thanks so much for that, :)

I love getting reviews from true artists, as they know the different needs that we need to make our art work and look pro! Thanks for the review and thoughts. This really helps me, as I really need a screen and spend money in the right direction.

I used to have an Intuos 01 9x12 and while I could paint with it, I never felt comfortable drawing or inking with it. But when I got my Cintiq 21" 1200 x 1600 and Clip Studio: Zowee! (Okay, nobody says "zowee" but it was really great.) I can't imagine trying to go back to using a tablet. More resolution would be nice, sure (as would a wider color gamut), but I'm happy to just zoom in and out a little more often if it means having the immediacy of sight-touch.

Thank you for this video! Will help me decide if I should get one.

I've been really hesitant in buying an iPad Pro due to the fact that I'm old now (mid 50's) and the thought of zooming in and out (which I would have to do) TURNS ME OFF; way off! I think your review is one of the best that I have seen out there! I'm starting to think that my original plan to jump to a Cintiq 24 Pro is the right one. I know there are millions of iPAD fanboys and "pushers" out all over the TUBE,..but man,....$1400 so that I have the pleasure of working on a tiny screen where I will have to zoom in and out just doesn't make sense. My own opinion of course. Others may vary. Advice: Either drop the volume waaaay down on your backup music track or drop it altogether. You have a really good voice and you speak clearly so don't muddy things up with music. No need to do that.

love to see a review of this product by someone who traditionally inks. thnaks for making this

My wacom cintiq 16 works extremely well for me!

Hi, many thanks for the review and the tip for the usb converter. I will buy the one is advised , many thanks you saved a lot of frustration.

5:30 made me re-evaluate a stupid purchase I was about to make. Staying positive and making what you have work for you is excellent advise. Thank you for that bliss.

Would you be able to teach us about panelling a comic book page? I find it hard to create proper panels, and I have no clue how to make the panels that are used in not only manga, but comics as well. I feel I create FAR too large panels or too small that text can't fit. And what size do you export your work for online posting or print? I find it difficult to export the work in JPEG cause it's way too large of a file but the quality is 1:1 but if I lower the image size the quality drops HARD.

i really miss your traditional inking videos but i admit that you being able to pull a traditional look on a tablet just blows my mind

The product is excellent. I'm still on the learning curve as I'm from the OLD School-old dog learning new tricks.;-). I'm a water colorist and using Rebel which is amazing. I still go back to the watercolor paper since I like to work large. The control of color and water is excellent. Determining the direction of water flow is +++++.

Informative video, Jimmy. I work traditionally, but I'm looking to get into digital someday. Lots of love out there for Wacom, but I wonder if their stuff is overpriced and people just love the name-brand. I might look into getting a used one but that always has some drawbacks. You've changed your studio around...looks great! Thanks for the great review!

dude your art is incredible!

Oh! That's an interesting use for it. Never thought of using it like that. That's actually pretty smart, It's not even that much more expensive than an Intous Pro Large, while having same or larger surface area, right? Has been thinking of saving up for a Wacom Cintiq pro 24. Has had the Wacom 16 myself for about 1½, and like it very much, great drawing experience, the details thing can get a bit of a worrying thing. But with your use it pretty much solves a reasonable stop gap, before you go for the big 24+ cintiq pro. You got me hyped, into getting a new display instead, my current main is a QHD 10 bit Samsung, but with a newer 4K 10bit I might be able to use the QHD in portrait mode, on the side instead, while having the 4K, when in the stage of fine details and rendering. Super cheap option, now that good 4K screens ain't that expensive anymore either. Glad I discovered your video!

I have the Huion Kamvas pro 16 with full laminated display which means it has less parallax (gap between the screen and the glass on top), the rest of the specs are similar and the best part is its $200 cheaper. The pen is good but wacom's pen is better. However I think it's a good trade off considering the price
