Review of Wacom Intuos S Drawing Tablet for Digital Art Creation

A review published on October 7, 2022, discusses the Wacom Intuos S drawing tablet. The author, who had not used a dedicated drawing tablet for several years, switched from using an iPad or Android device to this model. The tablet is designed for beginners in drawing, painting, or photo editing, compatible with Mac, PC, Chromebook, and select Android devices. Key features include its compact and portable size, weighing only 230 grams, which makes it easy to carry and saves desk space. It uses EMR technology with a battery-free pen offering 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity for a natural drawing experience. The tablet includes four customizable ExpressKeys and a built-in pen tray to prevent rolling. Available in black and pistachio colors, it retails starting at around $70, with a Bluetooth version priced at about $100. The review notes that the tablet comes with free downloadable software and online training resources to support creative projects like 3D art, illustration, and photo editing. The author uses it as a primary input device alongside a keyboard, finding it beneficial for wrist and shoulder comfort compared to a mouse or trackpad, and has created Photoshop tutorials with it. The review is based on a device provided by Wacom for evaluation.
