Screen Tablet vs. Non-Screen Tablet Does drawing directly on the display change
I am looking to upgrade my digital setup soon and I’m stuck at a crossroads.
For those who upgraded from a traditional, blind pen tablet (where you look up at your monitor) to a display tablet (drawing directly onto a screen like an iPad or a Wacom Cintiq/Huion Kamvas) did it actually improve your speed and accuracy, or did it just change your posture?
Is a screen tablet absolutely necessary for professional-level work nowadays, or is it just a luxury? What are you all currently drawing on?

I actually went from a non-screen tablet to a display monitor and ended up switching <i data-path-to-node=”5,0″ data-index-in-node=”86″>back to my old non-screen setup
For me, drawing directly on a screen meant my hand was always blocking half of my canvas while I worked, which drove me crazy. With a traditional pen tablet, your hand is down on the desk, and you get a completely unobstructed, full-screen view of your artwork on a nice, color-accurate monitor.
It definitely takes a couple of weeks to build that hand-eye coordination where you aren’t looking at your hand, but once it clicks, it feels incredibly natural. Plus, your back and neck will definitely thank you for keeping your head up
