However, Wacoms driver lets you program several helpful on-screen shortcuts.
However, the Intuos driver didnt have a test area to draw a line and test the new setting.
During testing, I enjoyed using it to create traditional still-life paintings.

The experience reminded me of working with oil on canvas or pastels on paper.
I also found it handy for animations.
However, Huion goes the extra mile and includes drivers for Linux computers.

I liked the textured surface of this drawing tablet.
It has a slight tooth, mimicking the texture on the surface of some watercolor or pastel papers.
It also comes with an excellent selection of on-board controls.
These shortcut keys are also customizable in the driver.
There are two types: with and without a display.
Both types require a computer connection to access drawing apps.
The upside is that they benefit from your setup’s processing power and don’t need to be charged.
Pro-level tablet models from Apple, Google, and Samsung also make good drawing tablets.
