The best early Black Friday drawing tablet deals include $180 off the new XPPen Artist Ultra 16

Unlike others on this list, the Artist Ultra 16 4K OLED is XPPen's newest drawing tablet and was only released a couple of weeks ago. While it features last year's stylus tech, you do get a 4K OLED for around $700. Read my XPPen Artist Ultra 16 4K OLED hands-on for more details and first-hand impressions.

XPPen's Artist 22 Plus has a 21.5-inch screen and comes with the X3 Pro Smart Chip Stylus. It shows up colour beautifully and boasts 16k pressure levels. It's another of last year's models now reduced.

The XPPen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2) is built for serious digital creators at a mid-range price, offering an excellent 22-inch 2.5K display, precise 16K pressure stylus, and buttery-smooth, nano-etched glass that feels beautifully natural. I was impressed with the slightly smaller model in my XPPen Artist Pro 19 (Gen 2) review.

Last year's Black Friday saw the price of this tablet drop to $499 for new models, but there are still savings to be had on this Wacom drawing tablet, although this one is refurbished. It's not a 4K display and there's no touch capability, but it's a logical choice for anyone moving up from a graphics tablet or who wants to experience working on a pen display without needing a pro colour gamut. We gave it 4 stars in our Wacom Cintiq 16 review.

The number one tablet in our guide to the best Huion drawing tablets had a good discount in the brand's own Black Friday drawing tablet sale last year, and it's continuing this year. We gave this excellent 4K display 4.5 stars in our Huion Kamvas Pro 24 review, praising its multiple connection options and great colour coverage. It's another older model, but still a good one.

The new XPPen pen display is the first 165Hz monitor of its type, and the first to have Calman-certified colour accuracy. It was only a year ago, but it remains a quality drawing tablet. There is also a saving on the XPPen Artist Pro 24 Gen2 4K Ultra HD $1,299.99 $999.99.

We gave this graphics tablet five stars in our Drawing Tablet Medium Bundle review, and it remains at the top of our pick of the best drawing tablets thanks to its phenomenal value. This was reduced further recently, so it is one to keep an eye on. The bundle includes two pens and Quick Keys for shortcuts.

Amazon has 16% off the medium Wacom Intuos with Bluetooth connectivity. We saw this drop to the low price of $89.99 in May, and it's been bouncing up and down ever since. This is one I'd expect to drop again over Black Friday, perhaps even below $80.

The new Deco Pro (Gen 2) features an eye-catching, slim, curved design and looks like no other drawing tablet. It comes with XPPen's excellent 16K pressure-level stylus, and it has a 10-hour battery life for wireless use. It doesn't have on-body Quick Keys, so you'll need to buy the Remote separately. Best of all, this price drop is actually $10 less than last year's Black Friday deal.

This neat Android 'drawing pen computer is reduced ahead Black Friday. This is an Android tablet designed for digital art, and features a large NanoNatte 14-inch display with an anti-glare coating for a paper-like sketching experience. Read me Ugee Ut3 review for more.

The Magic Drawing Pad was the original Android drawing display, with XPPen's tech packaged into this small Android tablet, complete with a 16K levels of pressure stylus, a matte anti-glare finished display with a paper-like 'tooth' for sketching. Smaller than the Ugee UT3 above, but it has a better stylus.

All round all, the M3 iPad Air is a great tablet for artists; it can run Procreate, Procreate Dreams, and ZBrush for iPad, and the Apple Pencil is excellent. Like the Ugee and XPPen, the display isn't designed for art, but the power and Apple Pencil overcome any issues.

Of the 'standard' Android tablets that can be used for digital art, the Galaxy Tab S10+ is my pick if you want an iPad Air alternative for sketching, and it's on sale right now. With a striking AMOLED display and the Wacom-engineered S Pen included, it's a great art and media tablet. Unlike the Ugee and XPPen tablets, the Samsung doesn't have a paper-like display, so it's a glossy multimedia finish.

If you want a budget Android tablet geared towards multimedia as well as digital art, the affordable Lenovo Tab range is a good option. I recently used the less powerful model on a trip to Nashville, and it's solid – read my Lenovo Tab impressions for more. There's a small $20 off now, expect much better deals on Black Friday.

The 2023 Cintiq Pro 24 remains a great pen display, and it's been reduced following the release of the 2025 model. But, if looking for a professional drawing tablet for a little less and want Wacom's build quality, this is the one. Note, this is not the Touch model, but the Cintiq Pro 24 Touch is reduced to £2,349.98 £1,834.99.

For a more compact and much more affordable pen display than the Wacom, the price of this Huion remains discounted even ahead of Black Friday. This older Huion delivers stunning 4K clarity on a 15.6-inch laminated display with anti-glare glass, 145% sRGB colour, and 8,192 pressure levels – it remains an excellent choice for a mid-range pen display.

This Huion Kamvas Pro 19, which was released a year ago, remains an excellent balance of tech and price. Featuring a lovely laminated 4K display, a stylus with 16K levels of pressure sensitivity, and a Quick Key remote, this is a high-spec display. Read our Kamvas Pro 19 review.

Another older model on sale now, XPPen's Artist Pro 16 (Gen2) pen display runs on last year's X3 Pro chip. It's a quality display, and the stylus is made to last. The Artist Ultra OLED arguably replaces this, but it remains a solid tablet. Read my Artist Pro 16 (Gen2) review for more.

Recently overtaken by the new Wacom One 14, this older 'budget' display features touch control (something lacking in the new One 14) and a Full-HD screen. It comes with the new Wacom One Standard Pen, which can be fully customised. Read our Wacom One 13 Touch review.

Wacom's first OLED pen display, the Movink 13, is a smart piece of technology, featuring a striking OLED Corning Gorilla Glass display, touch control, virtual and on-frame ExpressKeys, and the latest Wacom EMR pen tech. Oh, and it's just 4 mm thin. Read my Movink review.

This might not be the most sophisticated graphics tablet around, but for anyone starting, it's hard to argue with such a low price. We found it to serve fine for note-taking, doodling or as a mouse replacement. The size isn't suited to digital art or design work.

With a unique slim, curved design, the Deco Pro (Gen2) is a stylus tablet, and it features X3 Pro tech for a stylus with 16k of pressure sensitivity. This is an excellent wireless drawing tablet with a good deal even ahead of Black Friday. The Deco Pro (Gen2) is two years old now, but remains XPPen's best Wacom Intuos alt.

This deal is actually better than last year's Black Friday offer of £9 off. We called this "surprisingly brilliant" in our Ugee M908 review, and for good reason. This little tablet for beginners features a scroll wheel and 8 Shortcut Buttons, and a stylus with 8,192 pressure levels.

This bundle from Xencelabs remains one of the best you can buy, even at full price. This deal is lower than last year's Black Friday sale, which means Xencelabs is getting ahead of the competition, or we can expect a further price drop. This is not only one of the best tablets we've tested it comes with everything you need, including two styluses and the best Quick Keys remote I've tested.

XPPen's Android tablet is designed for digital artists, so you get a display designed for sketching and the same stylus with 16k levels of pressure sensitivity as the brand's traditional drawing tablets. Read my XPPen Magic Drawing Pad review for more.

This offer is double last year's Black Friday deal (which was $110.99 off). You could pay more for the Ultra model, but for digital art, this more affordable Tab entry is excellent. While XPPen and Ugee Android tablets have 'paper-like' screens, the Samsung has a better display overall, with 120Hz vs 60Hz at FHD+. Samsung's Wacom-designed S Pen is also better than the Ugee UT3's stylus, but not as impressive as XPPen's stylus.

While I love the iPad Pro, digital artists don't need that much power, and for the price, this M3 iPad Air model is perfect. It runs the best art apps, including Procreate Dreams. Unlike other drawing tablets on this list, you will need to buy the Apple Pencil stylus separately, which adds to the overall price.

If you're using a tablet with touch and gesture control, or just like the non-friction smoother feel of a glove, then this is a good one. Works for both left and right hands, and can be used in traditional art to avoid smudges.

Many of us use an iPad to search and display references as we work, and a stand like this becomes invaluable. Obviously, you can catch up on Netflix as you paint, too.

If you have limited desk space and can't fit a stand like the LISEN above, this floor stand is an eye-catching design. It fits standard iPads, Pro and Air, as well as Samsung tablets and Androids.

While a new Huion tablet comes with one of these Bluetooth remotes, they often get lost, broken, etc, so here's a replacement, for less. Older and cheaper Huion's won't have one, but that doesn't mean you won't welcome the deeper shortcuts as you develop as an artist.

As above, but this one's designed by and for XPPen tablets. It has fewer buttons than the Huion, but that silky rotating dial has a natural feel for brush size control and zooming.
