Black Friday drawing tablets: Need to know
Historically, Black Friday has been the best time of the year to buy drawing tablets, accessories and bundles, and this year looks to be no different. In fact, we're already seeing even more discounts, and bigger discounts, than usual. These include Wacom Black Friday discounts from the brand itself, and deals from XP-Pen, Huion and Xencelabs, who are running their own Black Friday and Cyber Monday drawing tablet deals. Big third-party retailers like Amazon and Adorama also have good savings.
When do Black Friday and Cyber Monday drawing tablet deals start and end?
Black Friday 2023 is 24 November, with Cyber Monday following on 27 November, but many retailers started their Black Friday drawing tablet deals a couple of weeks in advance. Most of the best deals usually finish on the Monday after Black Friday (Cyber Monday on 27 November), but some retailers, such as XP-Pen, say their deals will end on 1 December.
It's always hard to know whether to grab an early deal or hold out for the chance of a bigger saving, but as a general rule, we would suggest going for it if you see a very attractive saving in the run-up to Black Friday itself.
How to get the best Black Friday drawing tablet deals
There are a huge number of retailers offering drawing tablet Black Friday deals, and while that offers you a lot of choices for finding the best deals, it can also be a bit overwhelming.
We recommend getting clear what kind of tablet you want (a pen display or pen tablet? What size? Pro or enthusiast?) and setting a budget. This will give you a good idea of the kind of deals that will be right for you. You might also want to consider cheaper brands. While Wacom is the market leader, the likes of Huion and XP-Pen offer excellent alternatives that are usually less expensive, and those too should see price cuts on Black Friday.
How did we choose these black friday deals?
We choose the top Black Friday drawing tablet deals by searching across multiple retailers to compare and price check which store has a popular product for the best price, and we keep tabs on the deals we find using our clever deals widgets to monitor when a price goes up or down.
We then compare the price history of the same product from previous months and years, to know if we're really getting a bargain on a great drawing tablet, or if a deal is just a bluff and it's been cheaper before.
It's normal for prices to fluctuate around Black Friday, and we have a decade's worth of experience in monitoring deals to know when something is a record-low or a once-a-year deal that's worth grabbing when you see it.
What is the best cheap drawing tablet?
We think the best value drawings tablets are the Xencelabs Medium for as a graphic tablets (i.e., with no display) and the XP-Pen Artist 16 (2nd gen) for a pen display. These are both budget brands that offer excellent quality for the price, and there are already Black Friday deals on both.
Can you use an iPad as a drawing tablet?
Yes, you can use an iPad as a drawing tablet. The Apple Pencil works excellently with Apple's tablet to create digital art. However, the experience won't always be the same as other, more specialist tablets – the screen is shinier so it's a less authentic art experience, for example.
But there is incredible power in the Pro, and the most recent Air, so it will handle any digital art tasks easily. The other consideration is size, drawing tablets can come in a much bigger size than the biggest iPad, which is 12.9 inches.
There will almost definitely be some iPad deals this Black Friday (but we won't be listing them here. For that you need the Apple Black Friday roundup).
Are there any drawing tablet alternatives?
It may also be worth thinking if you need a dedicated drawing tablet or if you'd be better off with an iPad or Android tablet with a stylus. These are more versatile and could see big discounts as well. If you're buying for a child, then check out our best drawing tablets for kids guide for specific advice and recommendations.
Once you have a budget and your needs in mind, you can narrow down your search. We've also made life easier for you here, as we'll be updating this page in the run-up to Black Friday and during the day itself to highlight all of the best drawing tablet deals we've found, so make sure you check back here first before you buy!
