Drawing Tablets For Artists On a Budget

By: Abigail Abueva

    For artists on a budget, finding a good drawing tablet that offers many features can be a difficult task. Luckily, nowadays it's easier for artists to have access to cheaper tablets that have customizable interfaces. As an artist who uses a cheap drawing tablet, they have their pros and cons.

Huion Inspiroy Dial 2

Cons: Lacks a USB-C adapter, no built-in display

Cost: Around $135-$160 on Amazon

Pen pressure sensitivity: 8.192 levels

The Huion company is known for having affordable and great drawing tablets compared to Wacom. It comes with custom dials, six programmable buttons, a lightweight stylus, and support for Bluetooth 5.0. It works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Android. This makes it both flexible and affordable!


Wacom One


Pros: Good value, premium drawing feel, reliable and well-built, comes with built-in display

Cost: Around $200 on Amazon
Drawing surface: 11.6 x 6.5 inches

Wacom is arguably the most popular drawing tablet company amongst digital artists. That being said, they offer some affordable quality tablets that can last over time. Compared to most cheaper drawing tablets, the Wacom One offers a built-in display and at a good price as well!

XPPen Deco 01 v2


Pros: Stylus feels nice to use, svelte design, simple to set up
Cons: No pen clip, uses wires, no built-in display

XPPen has affordable tablets for those who don't want to spend thousands on a drawing tablet. However, it doesn't have a built-in display but its other features make up for it. It offers double the amount of pen pressure sensitivity compared to the Wacom One. It is a full-size drawing tablet that has a great look to it as well.

With that being said, many will choose to buy one tablet over the other and have their own opinion on them. Everybody's tastes are different, but always make sure to see the pros and cons of each tablet.
