It also was colored garishly, effectively ruining the original (see above).īy carefully trying to reproduce Kane’s original line work, I’m able to evaluate the accuracy of the digitizer and exactly compare its performance vs. Ironically, when that cover was published, it was inked by Alex Toth who took massive liberties with Kane’s work. As the 2H tip glides more smoothly along the glass display, I’m not missing any strokes at all.įor the last several devices I’ve reviewed, I’ve been inking the same artwork, a very tightly penciled cover for All-American Western drawn in 1951 by Gil Kane. The slight tack that I used to enjoy seems to contribute to the occasional stroke skipping that many users report. The standard tip that ships with the Surface Pen is the HB nib. One change that I’ve made in my workflow is that I’ve adopted the hard 2H nib from the replacement tip pack. I’ve mostly worked with Clip Studio Paint so far, but even Photoshop brushes feel silky now.

Microsoft hasn’t said if this is correct, but I also have seen marked improvement in the Surface Pro 4’s inking since the release of Insider Build 14986. IFixIt’s recent tear-down of the Studio revealed that the display contains a new ARM chip that many speculate may be assisting in the ink processing. But Microsoft has definitely been tweaking its Ink response and the improvements are plainly evident with the Studio. Maybe it’s because I’m an inker and not a painter, but I’ve never had the issues that some have with the Surface line’s relatively high initial activation force.
As much as you may want to, staring in to a white hot canvas as you lose yourself in your sketching cannot be good for you! You’ve been warned. I caution all users to protect their eyes and lower the brightness whenever possible, raising it only for color evaluation. The following day, despite the daylight streaming into the room through a translucent window shade, I kept the brightness at 15% and haven’t moved it since. Since my shipment arrived at night, I had to set the display to 15% brightness in sRGB mode.
But given its size, the Studio’s display is positively blinding in typical indoor lighting. So is the display on my Surface Pro 4, which I often use at 25% brightness at night time. And as an added bonus, it auto-refreshes for round-the-clock hands-free feed monitoring. I was reminded that Tweetdeck still exists and is far more compact than the Twitter website or app because it always displays your feed alongside notifications and messages in three narrow columns.
Its display is made for split screen use and the 4K resolution invites you to scale everything to at least 200% without sacrificing any real estate.Īs I began testing the Studio with a vertical format drawing in Clip Studio Paint, it was obvious that I was wasting a good portion of the display and working inefficiently by having to reach over for the toolbar.

Running a full screen browser is totally inefficient on the Studio. Like many sites, Twitter wastes a ridiculous amount of screen space on either side of the feed. While following my recommended checklist of installing updates before attempting to run any software, I checked in on Twitter to announce the new toy’s arrival. Otherwise you will need to use it on either side of the display, which may be uncomfortably far for using hotkeys. If you plan on using the keyboard when the Studio is reclined, you’ll want a keyboard tray for your desk (see right), so it can still be centered as you type. This really works better than it sounds and allows you to cradle your work in your lap like you’re accustomed to with tablets. And if you have short arms, you may need to place the base flush with your desk and have the display overhang it by about four inches (see right). You’ll want to set the base just far enough so that the bottom of the Studio is flush with your desk’s edge when it’s reclined.
