PicassoTab XL Drawing Tablet • No Computer Needed • 11.6" Screen • Drawing Apps • Tutorials • 4 Bonus Items • Stylus Pen • Portable • Standalone • Best Gift for Beginner Digital Graphic Artist • PCXL

I bought this for my 12 year old who is interested to teach himself animation. It seems to work nicely and the stylus works smoothly. We were really disappointed when the tablet failed to power on one day just 4 months after purchase and very few hours of use on it - not even an indicator light to shownitvwas charging or not. It also happened to be outside the return window - super bummed. I decided to reach out to customer support to see what cpuld be done and the agent was great! He made sure he knew exactlybwhat model it was an gave me step by step instructions to do a reset. The reset was simple and did the trick. I’m very pleased with the quality, preloaded software, smoothness and ease of use and the customer support was top notch. Absolutely recommend!

I bought for my kid who loves to draw and makes flip books. She's obsessed, she is nine, this helps them be more creative. The apps already loaded on here are definitely pro worthy. It blows my mind what it can do. My kid downloaded a animation app and it's really cool. I'm definitely borrowing to see if my sketched can go to another level but definitely need to watch tutorials on the fancy apps that came with this tablet probably a few times because they do a lot. Definitely recommend if you like sketching this is also really great for any business owner who needs to sketch out things or draw things and concepts it's super impressive. The only feature I don't like is the stylist takes AAAA batteries. It should have been chargeable like the tablet. But overall something I can live with super happy with this purchase my daughter absolutely loves it I think I will be designing my next tattoo on it.

March 22, 2025 UPDATE: haven't turned this on since i first bought it a few months ago and decided to use it today. Charged it all day and it won't turn on. I've maybe used it 3 times total and haven't owned it even a year yet it won't turn on at all. I'm really happy that I finally got a drawing tablet that was affordable for me. That said, I got what I paid for. The added accessories are great, the ease of use is helpful, and the pre-installed drawing apps with upgrade to pro are wonderful benefits of this tablet. The palm rejection would be better named as "palm resistant". The tablet does respond to my gloved-hand, but not constantly. It will draw in the apps or sometimes minimize it, but not so much that I can't tolerate it. I think the biggest down side is the tip of the stylus. It is very difficult to give an honest opinion of the drawing tablet's performance when the stylus tip is blunt and also loosely attached. The tablet tip is also hard, like the tip of a ballpoint pen; but the size of a flat tipped pencil which really gets in the way of the ability to draw fine lines. All of these factors add to the inauthentic feel and performance.. the stylus responds slowly and it does not draw precisely. I will try to draw a line and when I stop in the middle of the line and try to continue the same line, the stylus will not draw where I left off no matter how many times I try. More often than not, the drawing tools in the apps are too big, even when reduced to the smallest point size. That could be a result of the stylus or the tablet, I just can't say for sure because the stylus is designed poorly. I feel like I've wasted the small amount of money this tablet costed because either the tablet or the stylus or both can only create very simple and obtuse artwork. If you're an artist who doesn't really draw a lot of fine line and detail, it might be perfect for you. If you're a young artist just starting out, this might be just what you need, but if you're decades into drawing little details and you're looking to finally fulfill your dream of having a drawing tablet maybe find a sugar daddy who will buy one that you yourself could never afford. I DO believe I would give this tablet a second chance if the stylus was redesigned. My last 5 phones have all been equipped with a stylus that has a very fine point and a rubber tip with supplied replacement tips for when they get too dull.. my phone does a better job than this tablet (I used PenUP on my phone and I did install it on this tablet to determine if I just needed the right software, but the tablet still does just as poorly as with the pre-installed apps as PenUP and my phone far exceeds in quality and performance) but I really wanted something larger that required less zooming and panning to fill in details as well as better palm interference (my hand is the size of my phone so it's not the phone's fault!).

Let me start with the cons: Battery life is not what I hoped for. The unit provides maybe two and a half to three hours of continuous use on a full charge. Turn around time takes closer to eight hours to fully recharge and will on only charge with the cord that it arrived with it, the device will not respond to any other cords. The Red Painter app has a lagged response time when using stylus which can lead to issues. Within a year, the unit would only work if plugged in (and ONLY if using the charging cord the device came with) stopped working unless it was plugged in. And eventually it wouldn’t work at all. It does have good points: The set up process is a step-by-step very easy user friendly experience. If you’re looking to transfer your photos and images, be sure you already have everything uploaded to your google drive. Update: The company was EXTREMELY helpful trying to rectify the problem! The device gave up just outside of the return/warranty window but the company was very quick to reach out and offer a replacement.

Edit from previous review after having it for two months. This tablet is great for basics. Anything hard core, drawing, Animating, 3d modeling. It can handle a little of it. But not for long. 1st screen isn't as sensitive nor reactive as it should be. When drawing and or modeling, especially with a pen or stylus (which you can't because the sensitivity is whacky) kind of important. 2nd space- this tablet doesn't do well with high functioning programs like Clipstudio paint, or any of its subs like Animating or even timelasping. Which take up alot of its space. In the beginning I didn't think it would be too much or an issue, but it is now. Where the programs will crash or just stop working. 3rd THE PEN! By far the most frustrating part of this tablet. Is the Pen. I absolutely do NOT like it. As an artist coming from a Huion pen, It has no shortcuts on it, battery operated (came with two batteries one inside the pen that died after a few hours of use) and HEAVY. It is a heavy pen and tablet. So it's a bit of a pain to draw with. Pen doesn't work well with sensitivity, at random times it just stops. Continuing to eat batteries up every few days. So unless you take the battery out manually and put it back together every time you don't use it... better be prepared with an army of batteries! I think the design could be alot better and artist friendly considering this is supposed to be an artist tablet? It failed horrendously on that account. Over all though, it has nice color to it. Has an easy and user friendly set up. And is a nice size for the price. For simple things or projects I think it would be fine, but definitely falls short for what I needed it to be.

My son has been working with Wacom-style drawing pads, and they'd been holding him back. I gave this tablet to him for his birthday, and he immediately fell in love with it! Even just in the few days since then, he's been enjoying a creative burst, making all sorts of drawings and animation reels. It comes preloaded with good programs, and it's an Android, so you have access to apps in the Google Play Store (as long as you have an account). The screen is native 1080p resolution - 1920 x 1080, and at this size, it looks terrific. The packaging is really attractive, and the box is packed with goodies. Besides the tablet itself, it includes a drawing glove (my son said it's as good as the good one he already owns), a very nice carrying case with the ability to convert into a stand and a slot for the pen, the USB-C power cable and charger (along with replacement plugs for other regions - very considerate!), and the pen itself - it feels solidly built, with a metal case, and has a nice weight. The pen uses AAAA batteries, and the package came with 2 of them. Remember when I said how my son was drawing on the tablet a lot over the last few days? He already ran one of the batteries which shipped with it dry, and is currently using the second battery. It is entirely possible that those batteries were weak or old, so don't take my single data point as gospel, but as I always encourage his artistic side, I bought an 8-pack of AAAA batteries from Amazon Basics, and as of today, they're less than $1 per battery. The tablet feels well-built, not cheap or plasticky at all. The buttons are red, and I appreciate how that makes them easy to find. Since I gave it to a 15 year-old, he really put it through its paces, and he says the performance was good - he didn't feel it was laggy at all. We were both a little disappointed by the lack of a headphone port on the tablet, especially since the diagram in the box does show one, but that's common for newer devices, so it isn't fair to call it a real problem. The things I mentioned are pretty minor quibbles, which is why they didn't cost it a star from me. It's a terrific tablet, and I do recommend it for artists looking for a reasonably priced tablet.

I've been using the tablet for a few weeks now and have encountered minimal issues thus far. However, most of the issues I encountered had to do with Android apps and not the tablet itself, so I will disregard that for this review. The tablet came with a decent plastic case with an artificial leather cover and a battery-powered stylus. The case was actually a lot higher quality than I expected (not just some cheap plastic case) and feels like it won't break the moment I inevitably drop it by accident. With the tablet in the case, the buttons are very responsive, and the case doesn't interfere with the responsiveness of the power and volume buttons unlike some other cheap plastic cases I've used on other tablets. Setting up the tablet was pretty easy and I encountered no issues there. I found some settings to be a bit oddly placed or hard to find, but that is probably due to my lack of familiarity with Android. Occasionally some apps had minor latency and lag issues, but this seemed to be in-app issues rather than issues with the tablet itself. Considering that this tablet was a significant upgrade from my old tablet (some cheap generic Chinese tablet), it definitely lagged a lot less due to processing speed. The display feels high quality and is very similar to a monitor of similar size and resolution (although it's a tablet so there will be some minor differences). The touchscreen is very sensitive (responds to even very light taps) and writing/drawing with the stylus feels much like using a pen or pencil. Both the stylus and touchscreen were more responsive than I expected. TLDR: The tablet came with a surprisingly high quality case and stylus, the screen is highly sensitive, and I encountered no lag issues due to the tablet itself. Overall, I'd recommend this tablet for anyone who wants a decent quality drawing tablet but doesn't want to spend the money for a more premium option.

Very easy to get started and to use for my 11yr old daughter, aswell as me. Its the perfect size to carry along on road trips or to do some drawing on a lazy day at the park. Comes with the case that protects the screen when not in use and seconds as a tablet stand which is nice. I will say that i had an issue with our tip breaking on the stylus but that was possibly user error but regardless i contacted customer support to purchase a new stylus they asked if i would send a pic of it which i did and the next day i recieved an email informing me they were sending me a replacement stylus at no charge and it was at my door 2 days later. Customer service was very pleasant and helpful and prompt. Very happy with this tablet and highly recomend it for the affordable cost and quality build aswell as a quality drawing app preinstalled with more options and settings for personalizing your art work. 100% recomended and i would buy again with confidence!
