      If you're looking to become an artist, you have two options: purchase a variety of paints, pens, and brushes, or invest in an excellent art tablet. Wacom is a brand that is closely associated with the term "art tablet." Currently, you can save $100 on the Wacom Cintiq 16, reducing its price from $650 to $550, or save $147 on the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16, bringing its price down from $1,600 to $1,453. This offers a higher percentage discount on the Wacom Cintiq 16, while the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 provides greater overall savings.

      Reasons to purchase a Wacom Cintiq (and tips on which to choose)

      Both Wacom Cintiq tablets mentioned need to be connected to an external device. You'll draw on the tablet using software from that device, with a pen that senses tilt and pressure for realistic artwork based on your movements. Unlike earlier Wacom models, these tablets feature screens that allow you to view your artwork directly. Our initial review of the Wacom Cintiq 16 emphasizes this, stating, “Your images will look superior on the Cintiq Pro’s 4K display, yet the more affordable Cintiq 16 ultimately delivers the same outcome.” The Pro version has advantages like requiring only a USB-C connection (rather than two), a broader color range, and multi-touch gesture controls. However, keep in mind that the Pro is designed for professionals, and you'll likely enjoy creating wonderful artwork with the more budget-friendly option. Regardless, both tablets are currently on sale.

      We hope this information aids in your decision-making process. The standard Wacom Cintiq 16 is now priced at $550 (a $100 savings), while the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 is now $1,453 (saving you $147). Click the buttons below to access either art tablet, but act swiftly as these deals may not last long. Additionally, if you choose not to buy either tablet, take a look at our list of the best drawing tablets, which includes the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16. These represent some of the more appealing tablet offers available today.
