The touch-wheel function, quality stylus, and good drawing experience should satisfy even those with more experience. This definitely seems like a unit that will serve you well for a long while, despite its price. The Huion HS610 does exactly what it says “on the tin,” no more, no less. A serviceable enough tablet. The downside is the Kamvas Studio 22 uses ageing technology, notably the Intel Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics 630, a fairly old Intel duo that while capable for what you'll need may run into problems down the line. By comparison, the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro makes use of an Intel Core i7 and Apple's iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen features the older but excellent M1 processor – both also come with 4K UHD displays. Don't quite need the full 24 inches? The Huion Kamvas 22 Plus has all the features you need, with a slightly more compact 21.5-inch Full HD display that delivers 140% sRGB coverage. Whether you're a pro or a hobbyist, this Huion drawing tablet really delivers the goods.

Stepping down another size level, we come to the Huion Kamvas Pro 13, which is small but very well formed, both in terms of features and functionality. This more compact pen display features a high-quality screen with a textured surface for a more natural-feeling drawing experience, as well as 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity plus a set of customisable function buttons that enable you to execute all your favourite shortcuts instantly. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement shall be submitted to be settled by the people’s court in the place where HUION is located, as per the laws of P. R. China. The drawing tablet and pen come with a handy “ink well” to hold the pen when it’s not being used. The holder also holds the extra nibs. Let’s draw something!

The range also includes a few other options – there's the basic Kamvas 24, which is a similar proposition without the etched glass surface. Then there's also the Kamvas 24 Plus, a pricier version with an expanded contrast ratio and customisable buttons that can be assigned to your preferred functions. Plus, there's a 4K version of the Kamvas Pro 24, for those who need the extra pixels. To get started using the Huion HS610, you have to first charge the drawing tablet using the included micro USB cable. Doing so will cause a tiny status LED to turn on. This LED is so small that it’s hard to see. Apart from the 12 press buttons there is a touch wheel with another press button in the centre. The central press button allows you to configure the touch wheel for a variety of uses, including zoom, scroll and adjust. This is a nice touch and means getting to grips with the general flow of the tablet, once you’ve customised the buttons to shortcuts of your choosing, is very intuitive. If you're looking for an affordable drawing tablet that makes workflow all the smoother, the Huion HS610 is a good choice.

The other side of the coin, of course, is that pen displays come at a higher cost than graphics tablets, which we'll get to shortly. As such, you tend to see fewer pen displays oriented towards beginners, as the initial cost outlay is high enough to deter new users. Many pen displays also take advantage of advances in screen technology to deliver high resolutions and superb line sensitivity. All this tech makes them especially good for specialist drawing applications, like animation or technical drawing. At the other end of the scale, professional pen displays are the standard tools of many creative industries and tend to be where the most exciting developments are happening. Huion pen displays are much more affordable than their counterparts from the likes of Wacom, and are well worth looking into if you want a professional-level tool for a budget price. Graphics tabletsThe Huion H420X comes with a Huion's PW100 pen, the same battery-free stylus that comes with most of the brand's Inspiroy and HS tablets and which we found worked well on this budget tablet. The small size means it's not ideal for working on larger monitors, but it's a good option for smaller screens to replace a mouse. It's easy to install and works well with the Huion Sketch app for Android and other programs such as Krita, MediBang, PS and Affinity. Sure, it's not 4K, or even QHD. Sure, there's no touchscreen, and setting it up tends to incur a mess of cables and wires. The Huion Kamvas 22 Plus is still a premium drawing tablet at a bargain price, and that should merit serious consideration from more or less anyone with an interest in digital art. With the largest work area of the HS series - 10 x 6.25-inchs – the Huion HS610's workspace can be best described as a medium work area. It’s certainly big enough for general art making and doesn’t restrict pen movement, so for newcomers or experienced artists there's enough room here.
