In this post we are using the Huion Inspiroy 430P, an entry-level drawing tablet that is supported on Ubuntu. Instead of your fingers, you use the pen to move the pointer on your screen. It is an entry level drawing tablet, has a pressure-sensitive pen that does not require batteries, and the actual tablet to draw on, looks like an over-sized laptop touchpad. But if you want to really draw, you can upgrade to a drawing tablet (also known as graphics tablets).

If you want to draw on your computer, you can always use your mouse.

Verified on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04. They got their own pro's and con's, which I'm sure you can google for more details.Update : Added instructions to enable the HUION H430P to use the wacom driver. Photoshop: Pretty much what some would call a Industry standard, has a steeper learning curve but is well above most drawing softwares, also there are a lot of tutorials on how to use it. Sketchbook: Greatly intuitive, has a trial, and is incredibly amazing when you're new to digital art.Ĭorel Draw: Pretty good and versatile, kinda hard to learn to use in my opinion.

SAI (ITS FREEEEEE): Pretty good standard for a free software. One thing to keep in mind though is that no Wacom alternative offers multi-touch (finger touch input) on their tablets, so if that's something important to you, your only option is Wacom (or 2-in-1 computers).Ĭlip Studio Paint (Manga Studio): If you're into drawing comic/manga style drawings this has many tools tailored for it. I use a XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro Digital Tablet with screen and I've had experience with an Ugee HK1560 and both of them are great tablets which give you the 'drawing directly on the screen' experience for way less than Wacom.
