Is Samsung Second Screen good enough for drawing? EyekooDrawsStuff 2024-10-17 | Could Samsung's Second Screen make the Galaxy Tab S9 FE an even more versatile option for digital artists by turning into a wireless drawing tablet for Windows? I spent some time testing the feature and compared Second Screen with EasyCanvas, which I've mentioned on the channel a few times.

My Galaxy Tab S9FE as a wireless drawing tablet for PC EyekooDrawsStuff 2024-06-29 | I've been testing out Samsung's Second Screen feature to see if it's good enough to turn my Galaxy Tab S9FE into a drawing tablet for my laptop. So far, I am really impressed with how it performs, even though it's completely wireless and isn't consistently smooth. Full video here: youtu.be/aFXNi2axJ8QMy full review of the Galaxy Tab S9FE for artists here: drawyourweapon.com/galaxy-tab-s9-fe-artist-reviewThanks to this feature, you get so much more versatility from the Galaxy Tab. It's great as a portable standalone device, but being able to use to as an extended display and drawing tablet as well is what makes it an especially valuable part of my setup. I do recommend getting a little extra screen real estate if you can by going with the Galaxy Tab S9FE+: amzn.to/4cxNqRTApps used in this include :EasyCanvas: www.eaynlight.comAn alternative to Second Screen that will let you connect via USB-C for a more a more stable drawing experience.

Digital painting with XPPEN Magic Drawing Pad - Mandalorian EyekooDrawsStuff 2024-06-27 | I've been testing out the Magic Drawing Pad recently, @XPPen's first Android tablet. Here's a quick study of a still from season one of The Mandalorian. So far I'm really enjoying the drawing experience of this and am impressed with what the Magic Drawing Pad offers for the price. The pen has a great pressure response, and the surface is a real treat to draw on. I would, however, like to see something more high-performing in future with a few extra features in the pen. I'll explain more on this, and give my full review, soon. For now, you can find more info about the tablet here: shrsl.com/4j8v7 (affiliate link)App used is @InfinitePainter which you can find on Google Play and Apple App Store.Stay tuned for the review video.
The M2 iPad Pro became the only drawing tablet that I need... EyekooDrawsStuff 2024-06-23 | It's really not necessary to spend this much, but the M2 iPad Pro has become the only drawing tablet that I need for my work... with a couple important additions to use it as a drawing tablet with my Windows laptop.13" iPad Air 2024: amzn.to/4bfpSzp Linked this because it's effectively the same as the iPad Pro in this videoI use the Luna Display dongle for extending my Windows laptop display over to the iPad Pro: shop.astropad.com/products/luna-display?sca_ref=1916067.vHjoDmLij0And Astropad Studio for making it a highly responsive and customizable drawing tablet for my desktop software: astropad.com/product/studioWhen I have to head out, the iPad on it's own is powerful enough for high-res painting on the go.But in all honesty, you do not need an iPad Pro for this level of versatility. I'll chat more in another video about the setup and how a Galaxy Tab could do more or less the same thing for half the price.Apps used in this video include:Rebelle 7 by @EscapeMotions @magma_com @astropadco Studio---There are affiliate links in this description.
Kamvas Slate 10 review - Huions first Android tablet EyekooDrawsStuff 2024-06-02 | Huion has released their first Android tablet, which is aimed at a younger market. In this review, we'll see if the Huion Kamvas Late 10 is any good for drawing?Rather disappointingly, this tablet lacks anything to really suggest that it is a Huion device. But for young, casual doodlers, this could still function well enough for some light drawing and painting. For more serious pixel pushers though, there are better value options out there to consider. I do hope Huion tries again though.0:00 Intro0:56 Box Contents1:15 The Tablet1:59 Display specs2:20 Folding Case2:43 The stylus and drawing experience4:08 Line quality5:19 Painting experience6:00 Android drawing apps6:41 Thoughts and recommendationApps used: Infinite PainterClip Studio PaintMagmaWritten review of the Huion Kamvas Slate 10:drawyourweapon.com/huions-kamvas-slate-10-review

Thoughts and tips on beating art block.... Weve all been there EyekooDrawsStuff 2023-05-09 | Can't draw today? Art block is something that we all go through, sometimes more than once and more frequently that we'd like. Whether you're a painter, a writer, a sculptor, or an animator, art block is normal thing to go through, especially as beginners on the journey.The causes for art block will vary from one person to the next, but the three main ones for me have to do with self-doubt and confidence as an artist, being overloaded with content, and not really knowing what I want to say with my art at times.Maybe your experience of it is similar to mine, so hopefully this helps some of you better understand it and feel encouraged to fight through that art block.We're all different so I'd love to hear from you in the comments about what triggers art block for you and how you deal with it. 0:00 - Intro1:24 - Why is this happening2:05 - Confidence4:38 - Focus on learning6:27 - Content Overload9:33 - Have something to say12:23 - Bonus - Try something newThe painting:The digital painting timelapse shown in this art block video is still a work in progress.

Vulture Man painting in progress - Clip Studio Paint #shorts EyekooDrawsStuff 2023-05-08 | So here's a very short timelapse of the progress on a digital painting I'm busy with in Clip Studio Paint. It's taking me a while to get through this painting, partly because Clip Studio Paint is new software for me, and because I didn't have the clearest idea for what I want the final piece to look like. So it's going through a fair few changes along the way. This painting isn't close to finished yet. I really want to spend time on rendering finer details on this one.Music: Joel Steudler - Meteor Storm
