PicassoTab
An 11 inch standalone drawing tablet with a laminated 2K screen, a pen, 128GB of storage and drawing and tutorial apps, with no computer needed.
Best for: Complete beginners who want a larger screen and guided lessons
The PicassoTab X11 is a standalone drawing tablet: an 11 inch tablet with a pen that needs no computer. You draw directly on the screen in the apps it comes with.
The listing says its Artixo tutorials upgrade is designed for beginners. It arrives with 5 creative apps for sketching, painting, animation, tutorials and guided lessons, a lifetime Pro upgrade for the Concepts drawing app and a lifetime VIP upgrade for Artixo, plus a case, a drawing glove, a power adapter and a screen protector already fitted.
Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.
It needs no computer and comes with its own drawing apps, so you can sketch without plugging into anything.
The listing says full lamination reduces parallax and glare, so the line appears right under the pen tip with a paper-like feel.
Press lightly for thin lines and harder for thick ones. The listing pitches it for sketching, shading and illustration.
The lifetime Artixo VIP upgrade gives step-by-step lessons and guided practice, and the Xplore app offers drawing guides and instant help.
An octa-core processor, and storage expandable up to 1 TB. The listing says it handles drawing apps, schoolwork and streaming.
Two app upgrades (Concepts Pro and Artixo VIP) and four accessories: a tablet case, a drawing glove, a universal power adapter and a pre-installed screen protector.
Look elsewhere if: you want a more sensitive pen and more memory. The XPPen Magic Drawing Pad has a 16,384 level pen and 8 GB RAM with 256 GB storage.
