Hello there, even though my last couple of posts were all gaming related this time is about a new toy that I've just got today.

I've been looking for a Graphics tablet for a while now and today while searching the internet I found one that fits my needs at a nice price.

I got myself a Huion KD200 Graphics tablet. The full specs of the tablet can be found here. Currently it has a discount!

While searching the internet for the last couple of months, I went from a basic Wacom to a XP Pen, after that I thought myself I might need something wireless to avoid having a short cord and not being able to move the tablet when needed. While checking the wireless versions of those two producers the price doubled and I wasn't going to pay that much while I have no drawing talent or knowledge.

 After that I thought myself checking the second hand market and found this beauty, it has a scroll, five buttons that can be mapped via tablet's driver and a half of the keyboard. You get two more buttons on the pen that can also be mapped to different actions.
The only downside of this tablet is that it's made for right handed people, this doesn't affect me but later on if I want to upgrade this might be a key decider for the buyer.

The surface of the tablet can be also changed to be drawing surface or the whole program's window.

Now the only thing I need to do is find the right tutorials and start practicing, as for now everything feels pretty hard, the fact that you need to keep the pen close to the tablet for it to be registered while moving feels weird, I always lift the pen up a little to much and the software stops registering the pen.

Even this felt hard :)) I had to undo many times, but the pressure thing is nice.

If you have used a graphic tablet before and have some tips or tricks, maybe a nice tutorial feel free to leave them down below.

Once I get used to using it I will try to create graphics for a 2d game, some movement animations, I will post my progress later on.
 
If you got to the end of my post I'd like to thank you for stopping by, and wish you a great day until next time!
