If you’re a visual artist, creating digital work can feel unnatural. Think of how you’d normally do a drawing, or paint a picture. You’d sit over a notebook, or behind an easel, and use a pencil or paintbrush to create your artwork. Now think about how you interact with popular software like Adobe Photoshop. If you’re like most people, you probably use a mouse and keyboard. A mouse and keyboard are great for many things. They’re fine for navigating the web, typing, and playing most types of video games. But they fall short when you need to create smooth, precise artwork. The Artist Series Pen Display (2nd Gen) is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Chrome OS, Linux, and Android. Explore your creativity with the new Artist.

You want to be able to choose from as many colors as possible, without being limited by your screen. You can use the tablet to duplicate your display or to extend it.
