Hello guys! Since there was interest in a tablet I recently got, I decided to review for you a graphic tablet from the Huion company.
At this day and age, the technology of digital art is moving towards screen tablets, and while Wacom is the leading tablet provider, some competitors with interesting equipment and prices are starting to appear on the market
The tablet I'm describing is Huion GT-220 21,5" (www.huion-tablet.com/product/P…)
The tablet arrives in a big, well-protected box. Inside of the box we will find the instruction booklet for Windows and Mac, and all the necessary cables (USB, power cable with charger, HDMI, and VGA. The tablet also has a DVI port but there is no extra cable for that included). The way I connected the tablet to my computer is via the USB port and the HDMI port which turned the tablet into a second monitor).
Moreover, we get screws and a screwdriver ; D to attach the stand to the tablet, which is super easy and takes 2 minutes (and I'm not even fluent with any form of engineering *laughs*).
The stand for the tablet is fully adjustable, I find it comfortable to change its position at any time:
The stylus has own battery and needs to be recharged once the battery runs out of power, which takes no longer than an hour and doesn't happen often. So far I only recharged it once, for 30 minutes : D
While installing the drivers, it is important to uninstall drivers for other tablets we have on our computer so the drivers won't collide with each other.) After installation, we are all set:
Working on the tablet feels really fantastic
I didn't even notice when time passed while I was testing this device.
I often asked people with screen tablets if there is difference between that and a regular tablet - some said yes, some said that not really, only it gets the job done quicker.
As for me, there is a huge difference between my regular tablets and this screen tablet! It feels as if I was painting on paper, it's very intuitive and makes me want to work on it non-stop.
Most importantly, it doesn't make my eyes tired. I worked on this tablet during the day and late at night, and my eyes were just fine.
The screen is big, bright and shows vibrant colors that correspond with my monitor and my smartphone. I don't have to be afraid that there will be a huge difference between paintings done on this tablet and how the image will look for others, as it happens with many laptops.
It has 2048 levels of pressure:
The pen settings are simpl in comparison to Wacom but they allow you to adjust shortcuts on your Pen.
I had some fun playing with my traditional paintings on it during testing I used them to show you colors and how paintings would look here
Now let's look at prices:
for this particular model you will pay around 600-700$ meanwhile Wacom of similar size is around 1600-1700$. Example: www.amazon.com/Wacom-Cintiq-21…
Of course, quality matters here but know the alternatives for your wallet
Is Huion worth considering? Definitely. If you want to become better at digital media, and drawing in general, and you cannot afford Wacom then Huion is a great choice It will be tones of fun and it will get the job done!

Do you have any recommendations for someone starting to do digital art? Although I still am improving on traditional, I want to try digital and see how it goes.
