Note the screen can be very reflective outdoors. Sitting outdoor under a patio shade while drawing and the screen at 70-80% brightness. But after a few drawing that feeling disappear as you muscle memory and control kicks in. Yet, drawing on glass at first feels like you are sliding on.well, glass. This give you some resistance feel to the stylus and the screen. This is maybe new to some, but drawing on glass is really smooth - really, really smooth! Some of you, whom like me that owns a Wacom product are used to draw on a texture matte screen. The Surface 3 kickstand has 3 positions and this is the lowest, but sometime I need something lower.

Surface 3 sitting on top of my 8.5x11 Sketchbook. But sometimes, I do find myself placing something a few inches high under the Surface 3 to give me a lower profile stand. Then when place on the table, the 3-position built-in kickstand does help and give you enough angle to properly draw with.

I like the 3:2 aspect ratio of the screen, running at 1920x1280 resolution and when holding it to draw (in portrait mode), it does feel like you are holding a 8.5x11 inch sketch pad. The Surface 3 is really light in weight and comfortable to hold. Image 3: Coloring with Adobe Photoshop CC And this could just be painting directly in that application or exporting it to another application like Photoshop.ĭrawing at the local coffee shop to coloring in the car. Coloring my drawing will depend on how much work I want to put into it. My digital workflow is simple, I launch one of my favorite drawing software, Mischief, then draw. I’ve been drawing everyday on the new Surface 3 for at least two weeks and it has been an enjoyable experience. It’s my first thought every time I’d picked up the Surface 3 to start on a new drawing. And mainly is the Surface 3 right for you, the artist? How is it to draw on the Surface 3 with the stylus and its responsiveness while using these software: ArtRage, Mischief, Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio 5, Photoshop and Illustrator. I just wanted to give you my feedback on using the Surface 3 for/in my daily digital workflow. I will not review it’s processor performance benchmark and other technical aspect of the Surface 3, with something like the iPad and etc. In this review, I’ll mainly focus on using the Surface 3 with 4GB RAM for drawing and digital painting.
#MANGA STUDIO 5 NO PEN PRESSURE SOFTWARE#
I’ve tested both model and found that the 4GB RAM is way better for drawing software or any software in general. This is not a very powerful processor for running games, but designed for low power consumption and light work. The mobile processor is a Quad Core Intel® Atom™ x7-Z8700 processor (1.6Ghz quad). The Surface 3 comes in two model the 64GB with 2GB RAM and the 128GB with 4GB RAM. The Surface 3 (10.8 inch, 4GB RAM 128GB Storage, Stylus sold separately) in front of the Wacom Cintiq 13HD tether to my MacBook Pro. But, can it handle a digital artist workflow without breaking the wallet? Basically it is targeted towards the student and regular users who do office related work to surfing the web. This new Surface 3 is a bit smaller, lighter (620g), use less power, cheaper, but lacking in CPU horsepowers and RAM memory.
