Huion H420 vs Wacom Intuos Art – for Newcomers and Amateurs

Huion H420 vs Wacom Intuos Art

It was rather interesting to compare two low-cost drawing tablets – Huion H420 vs Wacom Intuos Art – and to find out their peculiarities to share for making a right choice from the perspective of value for money (Wacom Intuos Art is twice and a half more expensive that Huion H420).

Both units have no display, so, it is possible to watch your work only on the PC or laptop’s monitor. The gadgets have standard pressure sensitivity, but Huion H420’s resolution is higher – 4000lpi versus Huion H420’s 2540lpi. That’s why Huion H420 allows making more detailed and sharper images.

Design and Functionality

The check of Wacom Intuos Art vs Huion H420 revealed Wacom Intuos Art’s large active area to provide more space for drawing. Besides, it is possible to use this device wirelessly while using Huion H420 via USB only.

The comparison of their functionality has started with the hotkeys – Huion H420 has 3 of them and Wacom Intuos Art can boast 4 ones with application specific settings. Huion H420 has a bit rough surface that is good to avoid the feeling of drawing on the glass while Wacom Intuos Art’s display is smoother. Wacom Intuos Art has special protection to let your hand rest on it without making any strokes while drawing. Wacom Intuos Art is compatible with multiple monitors that enlarge its working area.

The tablets are compatible with the most widespread graphics apps and are great for Photoshop or Coral Draw beginners, for example. They are comfortable to use for both righties and lefties. Both gadgets are not very sturdy. They are made of plastic and flex under pressure.

Stylus

Wacom Intuos Arthave’s pen has no tilt and shading option, but it can be customized to work like brush, pen, or chalk. Huion H420’s pen is basic and has no eraser as other Huion’s models. However, it comes with extra tips and a metal piece to take them out.

Both styluses are battery less and come with no stylus holders, but they include some various nibs for different styles of drawing.
