PicassoTab A12 Drawing Tablet • Large 12" Screen, No Computer Needed, Included Learning Package [Premium Drawing Apps & Tutorials] Stylus Pen, Standalone Graphics Tablet for Digital Artists - A12

My son has been working with Wacom-style drawing pads, and they'd been holding him back. I gave this tablet to him for his birthday, and he immediately fell in love with it! Even just in the few days since then, he's been enjoying a creative burst, making all sorts of drawings and animation reels. It comes preloaded with good programs, and it's an Android, so you have access to apps in the Google Play Store (as long as you have an account). The screen is native 1080p resolution - 1920 x 1080, and at this size, it looks terrific. The packaging is really attractive, and the box is packed with goodies. Besides the tablet itself, it includes a drawing glove (my son said it's as good as the good one he already owns), a very nice carrying case with the ability to convert into a stand and a slot for the pen, the USB-C power cable and charger (along with replacement plugs for other regions - very considerate!), and the pen itself - it feels solidly built, with a metal case, and has a nice weight. The pen uses AAAA batteries, and the package came with 2 of them. Remember when I said how my son was drawing on the tablet a lot over the last few days? He already ran one of the batteries which shipped with it dry, and is currently using the second battery. It is entirely possible that those batteries were weak or old, so don't take my single data point as gospel, but as I always encourage his artistic side, I bought an 8-pack of AAAA batteries from Amazon Basics, and as of today, they're less than $1 per battery. The tablet feels well-built, not cheap or plasticky at all. The buttons are red, and I appreciate how that makes them easy to find. Since I gave it to a 15 year-old, he really put it through its paces, and he says the performance was good - he didn't feel it was laggy at all. We were both a little disappointed by the lack of a headphone port on the tablet, especially since the diagram in the box does show one, but that's common for newer devices, so it isn't fair to call it a real problem. The things I mentioned are pretty minor quibbles, which is why they didn't cost it a star from me. It's a terrific tablet, and I do recommend it for artists looking for a reasonably priced tablet.

i was impressed how good this product is. i have a lot of current laptops, phones, and a couple tablets. i haven't bought an android tablet in several years, but this tablet does everything i wanted. it still gets 5 stars, but i want to say it's kind of heavy compared to other laptops, tablets, and devices. there is no way to make it stand on its own without buying other trinkets i think (what do you thinks this is, an apple product? (apple makes everything sold separately now lul)) holding the tablet is good, but there is less than an inch around the outside of the tablet. i also have some issues with the operating system, like there is no way to customize the icons on the desktop/homescreen. the screen is relatively dark with n o way to brighten it to 'really bright'. i'm stuck with 'mediocre bright' as the brightest. i can't fault the device for issues with the operating system really, but i hope they figure out how to make this device a little lighter, include some kind of 45 degree angle stand for artists, and tell android the icons are super small and the operating system in general is pretty uncustomizable. overall a good product though, i was impressed

Edit from previous review after having it for two months. This tablet is great for basics. Anything hard core, drawing, Animating, 3d modeling. It can handle a little of it. But not for long. 1st screen isn't as sensitive nor reactive as it should be. When drawing and or modeling, especially with a pen or stylus (which you can't because the sensitivity is whacky) kind of important. 2nd space- this tablet doesn't do well with high functioning programs like Clipstudio paint, or any of its subs like Animating or even timelasping. Which take up alot of its space. In the beginning I didn't think it would be too much or an issue, but it is now. Where the programs will crash or just stop working. 3rd THE PEN! By far the most frustrating part of this tablet. Is the Pen. I absolutely do NOT like it. As an artist coming from a Huion pen, It has no shortcuts on it, battery operated (came with two batteries one inside the pen that died after a few hours of use) and HEAVY. It is a heavy pen and tablet. So it's a bit of a pain to draw with. Pen doesn't work well with sensitivity, at random times it just stops. Continuing to eat batteries up every few days. So unless you take the battery out manually and put it back together every time you don't use it... better be prepared with an army of batteries! I think the design could be alot better and artist friendly considering this is supposed to be an artist tablet? It failed horrendously on that account. Over all though, it has nice color to it. Has an easy and user friendly set up. And is a nice size for the price. For simple things or projects I think it would be fine, but definitely falls short for what I needed it to be.

This is a nice tablet with a clear screen and good performance and definitely worth every penny I spent on it.

Pour amateur de dessin super intuitive

I tried to use this for drawing with the app it came with and krita but the input speed was really slow, it would take up to a full second to register what I was drawing and did not feel like a responsive and fluid experience. It was more frustrating to use that a useful tool. It does come with loads of good accessories and the build quality of everything was good but it just wasn't fast enough. Returned it within 24 hours and it was unusable.

Great standalone art tablet for beginners. My kids love the flip-a-clip app, and the drawing app is great. There may be some diagonal line issues, and other factors that make the iPad a better choice if you're a pro or serious about upgrading your art skills on a tablet... but this is a great starting point. I will add that we had issues with the included pencil stylus. The tip has some movement to it and appeared to get "stuck" where it was unusable completely. Reported it to Simbans and they took care of it immediately so quite happy with the product support from them!
