Best Drawing Tablets for Animation

Ramola Gautam

Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 - Considered the best by the pros with 4K resolution, ultra-low parallax, and a 120Hz refresh rate. 

Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) - The 4K UHD pen display offers 140% sRGB coverage for intense visuals, while the battery-free stylus replicates the traditional pen drawing experience.

XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 - A beautifully streamlined, fully laminated screen with a custom dial and tilt support is all a benefit for animators.

Apple iPad Pro (M4, 2025) - Together, the ultra-fast M4 chip and Apple Pencil 3, paired with either Procreate or RoughAnimator, form a fantastic combination for digital creation.

Wacom One 13 Touch - This is beneficial for students and hobbyists, as it offers multi-touch gestures and a stylus, both of which seem very responsive with intuitive animation workflows.

Huion Inspiroy Dial 2 - This screenless tablet is pressure-sensitive and features a smart dial for switching, zooming, and rotating, all while animating (without requiring screen touch).

Gaomon PD156 Pro - Great selection, given the 15.6-inch screen and 88% NTSC color gamut, and an excellent option for freelance animators just starting.

Xencelabs Pen Display 24 - The Xencelabs Pen Display 24 is becoming well-known for its accuracy and ergonomic design, comparable to Wacom.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra - It's compatible with Clip Studio Paint and S Pen, and can handle animation apps due to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
