The best drawing tablets of 2024: Expert tested and recommended
It all depends on your use case and personal preference. For example, Mortensen prefers tablets with screens (otherwise known as pen displays).
“Direct drawing changes your art and thinking in ways that you can’t predict,” he said. “Art is hard enough without not being able to look right at what you’re drawing. Sure, they’re more expensive, but if you have the means, I highly recommend it.”
On the other hand, screen-less drawing tablets (also known as pen tablets) generally have a lower price point and are more portable. Keep in mind these tablets require a connection to a computer and can take some time to get used to, as you’ll need to draw on the tablet while looking at your computer screen.
Overall, the best drawing tablets allow you to digitally create in different ways based on the art and artist, so it’s really up to your preference whether you want to work with a drawing tablet that has a built-in touchscreen or a special pressure-sensitive surface.
