It is current trending now due to people from The Bartlett (UCL) having extreme good results from using it. What people did not realise is that a Drawing Pad requires the user to actually KNOW HOW TO DRAW. People think getting the pad will miraculously make them an artist, little did they know that without having actual skills in drawing using pen and paper, they will struggle DOUBLE hard after they got the pad. Because they will be stuck with not knowing how to draw, AND the added steep learning curve on drawing into digital space (as the pad requires a different eye-hand coordination than drawing on paper). So u will see many students ended up giving up or totally not using the pad at the end of the day.
I agree I am pretty proficient with pen and paper and switching to a graphics tablet was still a difficult transition lucky my laptop is touchscreen and allows for use of a pen so that bridged the gap for me and I got rid of my graphics tablet as the time wasn't available to adjust to the learning curve involved in using one
Exactly this is what people will deal with.
Haha totally right! It’s not a magic tool that makes you draw better
The content show it better provides for us architecture student is all I needed, keep up
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you like it ❤️
Hola ,soy de Colombia ,estudiando arquitectura en Buenos Aires ,amé tu canal me ayudas con mi ingles y a la vez con mis presentaciones y de mas !saludos Compatriota excelente trabajo.
Nice video, i started using a HUION tablet a while ago.
Personally i got used to sketching on it relatively fast. It took me a few hours of just sketching and tracing, but when you get the hang of it it works really nice. Especially when tracing or adding annotations/arrows to plans. I think it brings the digital and analog closer together.
thats what i like to use it for as well! combine that technical and sketchy look!
i really appreciate videos like this that give tips on the tools and workflows of our practice
I got one this year and returned it right away haha. I wanted to go digital to de-clutter my desk from all the trace and sketchbooks, but this was not a great choice. I ultimately got a s6 lite tablet on sale for Black Friday and now sketch on the concepts app. It’s so great! Really helpful to go through concepts throughout the design process. You can also upload images or PDFs so it’s rly great for exporting clay renders and then sketching over them! Highly recommend the tablet + concepts app workflow for other architects and designers
Hey! I'm an Architect, urban designer and now an Assistant professor and I usually use an Ipad air 3 with the 1st gen pencil which works perfectly for me as I use it mainly for sketching over designs and drawings which is an immediate requirement considering the current situation. It also comes in handy to explain things over zoom classes giving you the exact pen and paper feel.
Wow! Thanks for sharing. So do you feel an iPad is much more useful than a normal graphic tablet? For the zoom classes it must be so useful!
@@ShowItBetter yea it sure is! I believe that though a graphic tab gives you a better compatibility across all devices, an ipad gives you the freedom to explore other softwares/applications too that are specific to sketching apart from the freedom to sketch over sheets/screens in zoom calls.
P.S : there is actually a way to use your iPad as a secondary screen for windows operated laptop/desktop and that works just fine for files you have on Ps.
@@swathir1633 totally righ! and ipad overall can be much more useful in the long run and if not then as a second screen as well!
Thanks a lot sir. Be safe and healthy!!!
Thank you!
Thanks so much! I was just looking for someone to actually describe whether you get used to not having a screen on the long term or not. You made me think that, in case you get used to looking at your front screen while drawing, it might be actually better for two reasons to not buy an expensive tablet with screen: 1) a screen would be more delicate and I imagine be less portable + might get outdated earlier; 2) it's probable more ergonomic to keep your neck and head straight while keeping your arm horizontal on the table. While with a screen one even if getting an mechanic arm support you still have to look at your screen while using the pen on it at the same time, which in general might not be the best position for our bodies when working in architecture/design (long hours).
exactly! if it does have a screen then it can be pain for your neck over time....so it has its pros and cons
Practice, practice, practice. That's the key to train your brain how to draw on the tablet what you want to see on your screen. You will feel like doing preschool at first, but your drawings will finally come through.
The size of the tablet doesn't really matter. Since you map the tablet to your screen, I'd say a bigger tablet is only worth it if your screen is larger than 15".
For architecture my only problem is drawing consistent straight lines in specific angles like when doing axonometric views. Does anybody have a good tip for that? Thanks,
Great video!
Video Quality and Content keep getting better!! KudosMan.
I have fixed the problem of a slipery tablet surface. I bought a Gaomon S620 tablet. I then got a piece of cheap A4 printing paper. I cut a length of 145mm off it. The width of the paper is perfect so it does not need to be cut. I got some Blue Tack. I stuck the paper to the pad in the corners with the Blue Tack. I added Blue Tack in the mid points of the perimeter of the pad to help keep the paper down. I didn't put any Blue Tack on the writing surface of the pad at all. I just put it on the perimeter to hold the paper down. You can write on the paper in the normal way with your special pen. It works. You now have that paper feel. It now has the friction that makes it easier to draw or write on without that slipery feel of the plastic.
I think since Covid has hit and a lot of us work from home a graphics tablet or some way of marking drawings up at least is crucial to the cohesion of a team In my opinion it is needed now in a pandemic but isn't crucial to regular day to day in the office
Would love to see a tutorial on how you make your sketches from photoshop graphics. Since I'm not very comfortable with directly sketching, this might help!
Thankyou! 😊
awesome! i´ll do one then :)
@@ShowItBetter still waiting for your tutorial 🥺
I was thinking of buying a huion H610 pro v2 at the beginning of the corona pandemic and last sundat I just got it and ths video thought me that I can use it in various kinds of stuffs ( I am an architecture student)--so thanks for reflecting your thoughts on the tablets 👌👌👌👌
I have the XP Pen Deco Pro. Haven't used it much. I think, just like the touchpad of laptop took some dedicated time to get used to it I need to give some time to the tablet as well.
But now after watching your video I am really pumped to use it in my workflow.
Thank you!!
Would love to see a tutorial on how you make your sketches from photoshop graphics.
First in line! Really interesting title, hyped to know what you think. I do have a graphic tablet, but i find it difficult to implement in my workflow. It does have a learning curve and need mastery of the digital tools for the tablet. iPad Air on the other side is visual, so that's I guess why people choose that... So really interested on this already 😄
For sure, I honestly think that (when my budget lets me) I’ll end up buying an iPad)
I recently bought a pen display since I like to sketch and was used to have dual monitors in the office, I agree with you that if you model it is not so useful, at least for me, when modeling I still use the mouse but for quick sketches, collages, online meeting and taking notes, the pen display have shown some really nice improvement of my workflow and its flexibility. Working with a pen in photoshop is amazing, it allows an organic feeling and outcome. Nice video.
Saludos desde México.
thanks for your insight! glad to see we think the same,. saludos!
It is worth it! I love drawing on my tablet so much. Fun and easy
Good to know! Which tablet do you have?
I think u need a 2nd keyboard for shortouts rather than graphic tablet, or a Ipad will be better than it that Ipad u can load all your documents into it for having a meeting with client on site.
A larger monitor / 4K monitor for larger screen working space.
Ohhh that larger monitor is on my mind! I want to buy it eventually!
yeees we want to see the tutorial, and thank for the vid :) RESPECT
I got a graphic tablet yesterday and adapted almost at the same time... so that learn curve that you heard a lot might not exist at all. So you better test by yourself cause maybe the cons are not that much than the ergonomic are really pro dude.
haha, which one did you get Bruno? Nice to hear! Although I would appreciate it if you came back six months or 1 year after and told me your experience...One day is a short time! Cheers!
@@ShowItBetter yeah man, I know it might not be as useful as it looks like. But I really didn't feel that disconnection I hear a lot on internet. I bought a Gaomon M10k cause It's "cheap" and have a touch ring, cause I knew pan a zooming would be a big issue. So it worked perfect on Sketch Up, only problem is that zooming go always to the center of the screen, not to the center of the pen cursor as expected. autoCAD work ok, unless u have to pan or zoon Which for any architect it's almost all the time of our work.
Hey, what’s the Different between Architect and architecture
I have an old one. I used it over the period, but never get used to it in the everyday workflow. I think that is a matter of practice and consistency.
Totally right.! If not used constantly it becomes that family member you only see at Christmas
i am interested in seeing the video, in which you are making a sketch as you mentioned. did you make that video already ?
I have the TAB HUION H1060p - as I do Teaching, and other artistic stuff it gives support in my work. In terms of Architecture. I am a Student but yes for now I am learning Inscape/photoshop. because I REALLY WANT TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE PRESENTATION BOARD AMAZINGLY, and I saw your videos, after David sir ARCHI SUMMIT. A nice vidEO I get in suggestion.
PLEASE TUTORIAL AND VIDEOS; FOR THE USE OF GRAPHIC TABLET; AND SKETCHING; LIKE THE PERSPECTIVE
Will add it to the list! Cheers!
Hello! i want to see more videos about your work flow with a tablet!!!
Short answer: NO!
Long answer: Nooooooooo!
It's nice and useful if you draw a lot, but far from a need for architects.
Haha thanks for your honesty. As I said, if this isn’t going to become part of your daily workflow then maybe it’s better to stick with a mouse
I got a Huion pen display with idea that if I will not end up not using it, at least I will have another display :D - Now I have 2 displays with 42'' for a few years and the tablet is sitting in the corner. I like sketching but when it comes to work sketches I still prefer sketchbooks.
I completely agree that you can use it only in photoshop.
@@KRISTAPSSVEISBERGS well, you can use it to sketch on top of your projects while meeting with your client, using Microsoft ink or it's equivalent on mac. That's pretty neat, but not a need yet.
Nice video, I just picked up a Huion 950P. Taking some getting used to though its only been a few days. So far I'm having trouble drawing something near a straight line. Even drawing over a 3d blocked out mass. I guess like you say this will take some getting used to though I'm feeling like its much better at cartoon drawings so far. I will fall back to sketch, scan and maybe use the tablet to colour the hand drawn sketch for the moment.
Yep totally feel you, it’s abou practicing and getting used to it
Here's ax question: have you ever had any experience in designing in CAD software such as AutoCAD? I am all of the time working on AutoCAD and there was a time when I tried to work with my wacom but I didn't find comfortable. Could one ever get used to use it on softwares like these?
Loved your video! Thank you I’ll like to see a video of sketching like you did over your 3d
Thank you Carla, I will take it into account!
i would like to see the tutorial on cad to photoshop as you speak of
TUTORIAAAL!!! thanks for share your experiences
More to come!
thanx for honest review
My pleasure 😊
Me gustó mucho Steven, buena review, completa. Excelente. Por otro lado, yo no usaría una tablet xD
Soy de mano pesada, no hago mucho sketch (nada), así que no me conviene tanto. El tema de los shortcuts y la posición es importante pero puedes tener los mismos con un mouse de gaming.
¡Excelente contenido!
Gracias Juan Manuel! Si, un mouse de gaming tambien puede ser muy atractivo y util.... Yo tampoco uso t o d o el dia la tablet pero si hay bastantes ocasiones donde una tablet ha mejorado un poco mi workflow o lo ha hecho un poco mas interesante. Gracias!
I bought one because the quarantine, used a few times for sketches but not really enjoyed it, maybe with more practice it will be worth it someday c:
lol the quarantine purchases can be a bit dangerous, but for sure if used every day then it’ll be worth it :)
Do a sketching over photoshop tutorial
I've been looking for one, more than ever i have tones of project. i just want a basic so i can transfer to my computer. i already draw my own design architechture Mansion and other and want to put piece all together, not need to be professional one, like i know they might be a course base on that, and i can figuring out lot of things.
It just i'm very new in this and i'm more interesting to learn to bring my idea and vision to a new complex, i live in Canada Ontario in Ottawa region, i already have many skill that i love to play with ''Movies Characters Heros'' that i draw myself on my computer, i just wish it have other way to use 3D Graphic as well for my heros
we need tutorial for that pencil grip.
Yes I want to buy one but I don't know if it'll be worth it. I also see myself wanting to use it because a few diagrams could be much better represented via a sketched graphic than a drawing or digital illustration.
If you’re having doubts then I would recommend going for an iPad! Doesn’t disappoint
Woaw so thanks bro Really interesting :D
I work with Corel, Adobe and Cad but would like something exactly like that but smaller, is it still a good thing and does it exist?
Thank you,
Bruno, from Rio
Brazil
tutorial for the sketchy look please!
How does this working with keyboard input like save file names or quick emails?
Hola Sebastián! , ¿tus cursos tienen subtítulos en español?. Saludos.
"i dont sketch a lot, because i dont have quite the hang of it and normally i dont sketch that good" 3:40
Yessss Please make a tutorial
Hey, I use graphic tablet for sketches. Can I use it for other apps also? like sketchup etc.
Your computer recognizes your tablet as a second mouse, so you can use it in other apps. Although on some apps it may not be very practical but you can
VERY NICE VIDEO; THE FUTURE!!
thanksj!
Saludos, busco un nuevo método para vectorizar planos de aeromodelos, antiguamente se hacia de la sgte manera : Se procede a escanear un plano, del que se tiene físicamente en el papel, luego se guarda como escala 1:1, con una resolución de
150DPI, y se guarda en PDF, luego se abre en autocad ó adobe ilustrator, ó corel y se procede a dibujar sobre el contorno de las figuras escaneadas, y se guarda en una extensión , por ejemplo DXF, al momento de Abrir el archivo, se procede a imprimir con una escala 1:1 , y se compara con el plano original , luego las figuras por lo general quedan desviadas levemente ala izquierda o ala derecha, luego hay que determinar que tan desviada queda para proceder a corregir hasta que la figura dibujada quede exactamente igual ala figura del plano.
¿Cual tablet de laa que muestra la web me puede servir para calcar directamente sobre el plano y que la figura o dibujo calcado quede con un tamaño 1:1 y exacto?
O mejor dicho
¿ se puede calcar una figura de un plano de tal manera que la imagen dibujada quede directamente en la tablet con las mismas dimensiones?
La idea al imprimir las piezas implica un ahorro , una vez que las figuras queden con las mismas dimensiones, con respecto al plano entonces si procedo a cortar en laser , pero si las corto en laser cada vez que le haga una corrección, el gasto es grande.
Why don't u use Wacom Devices.
I bought this exact tablet just months ago, I can't get through the learning curve. And ended up being used very very seldom
I feel you, I think we have to force ourselves to learn by uninstalling completely the mouse haha
What is the 3D modeling program that you use?
Hello is iT worth iT to USe a tablet if the main use is clicking and not drawing? My main reason is namely a better hand position. I work in 3D CAD modelling.
Hey Frank! I think you would be a bit better off with a really good ergonomic mouse, like an Mx Master 3 Logitech. The nice thing about a graphic tablet is the pen sensitivity and feel that you can almost draw anything, and if you are not going to use it, and mostly use it to click, then it may not be worth it. On the contrary, when I use the pen selection tool, polygonal lasso tool, or anything similar in photoshop (clicking most of all) it is really fun and a bit faster. Sorry to give you such an unclear opinion! I would prefer a good mouse in your case.
@@ShowItBetter my problem with mice is that I rest on my ring finger and pink and that hinders me. The pen grip seem more comfortable. And i am left by the way. Also i have tried a ergonomic left vertical mouse and that is really awkward. That's why I was thinking of a stylus
wait what!? an architect with weird pen hold :D
Hahaha it’s been a struggle! I tried changing it but it was difficult 🙈
Cuál "Pen Display tablet" se recomienda usar para arquitectos?
hay muchisimos! pero ultimamente muchos utilizan un ipad pro ya que son faciles de manejar. Pero si te quieres ir mas pro, entra a Wacom y hay muchos buenos
Hi! What's the model and brand of your computer keyboard? I've been looking for one like that for a long time!
Xp pen deco 02
Can i use gaomon s620 with Autocad?
As this video was dedicated to Architects can I know, Which i pad or samsung tablet runs revit arch or 3ds max ? 🙏thanks
This is probably the answer you don't want to hear, but I have seen very good results from Lumion and Enscape, on many different scale projects and in high detail. It may come down to analyzing what you are looking for in these types of programs. Saving time? Realistic features? High quality assets? Productive workflow between programs? Also you would need to understand what are your strong points as an architect doing the renders in the office. Are you good at understanding composition, color, lights and what a "good" render feels like? Are you good at modeling, texturing, or adding detail? Have you worked before in other real time rendering software like Enscape, Twinmotion ? What projects is your firm typically working on? Is it residential architecture where you constantly produce specific images with specific assets ? Urban projects where you use a lot of vegetation and need a program that runs smoothly with a very heavy 3d model?
Sorry for complicating your question, but I think this analysis is important before recommending you which one you should stay with.
what is your keyboard?
Make a video of ipad for architect
When I buy one I will! Haha right now I have a man iPad mini that’s like 4’yeara old
I have been really struggling whether i need 1 or not. I would really appreciate it if u make a video of ur insights.
@@faisalhossainrizvi852 well I haven’t used my iPad mini for architecture related work other than watching movies BUT if I was to get one of the newer iPads, I would DEFINITELY include it in my workflow !
@@ShowItBetter highly appreciated, thanks ^_^
I have graphic tablet Huion HS610. It is fun, but now this is useless in my work😂.
haha thank you for your honesty!
I am applied art students an I might take interior design bor industrial design so , I am really confused is it will benefit me if buy a drawing tablet?? or it's now necessary for my program I take ?? If someone have the same major please advise me 😞
a tablet is a complement to your workflow, but it should never be dependent of it
En resumen del video, sí
There are mainly two types of tablet users, artists and osu! players
How life is going ?
Me: finee
Life: 0:10
Hahahahah
@@ShowItBetter lovee ur videos broo ❤️
The thing is, before you buy something like this, you actually need to know how to draw...
If you want something fancy just stick with a Moleskine...
I think if you know how to draw it can help you a lot, BUT I wouldn't discourage anyone who still wants to get one. In the end, it is possible to practice every day (just like with actual drawing on paper) and eventually you will be better.
“Brands like iPad” 😂😂
buy dell latitude 7275 ;) all in one
denunciado por no ser un video en audio español, directamente pongan titulo en ingles, spam
I enjoyed watching this review for sure.
I will look at your other videos too.
Oh and btw if you love art supplies, doodling and more of this kind of videos you might want to visit #allthesuppliesyouneed . 😆
Does it work sketchup 3d and other 3d modeling software ?
