How to Draw a Portrait on Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) Display

In this video, you will see the complete process of drawing this manga artwork on Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) Display. If you are a digital artist, illustrator or designer, this display is a great tool to have. It is available from Huion official store as well as on Amazon.

How to Draw a Portrait on Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) Display

Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) display measures 24 inches (527x296 mm) and 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels). The color gamut is 140% sRGB. The display's surface is fully laminated and made of anti-glare etched glass, which feels like paper under the stylus. The screen uses the HDR technology, which stands for High Dynamic Range that improves brightness, contrast and color. A digital stylus has no batteries, which makes it ready to use at any time. There are ten spare pen nibs, including 5 standard and 5 felt nibs, as well as a pen stand. Pen sensitivity, report rate and tilt support will satisfy the needs of every digital artist. There is also a mini keydial that comes together with the display. Inbuilt folding stands allow the display to tilt at a 20-degree angle.

The color calibration is perfect and the color gamut is amazing. The pixel density is such that I do not see individual pixels. It is a very pleasant experience to draw on such a pen-display. As a fine artist and designer, I have extensive experience in art, both digital and traditional, and this display comes with everything a professional designer or illustrator would need. It has a big size, great colors, 4K resolution, fast and stable performance. I have to say that Huion did a great job on designing and building this equipment. The 20-degree angle is well-calculated. This is exactly how I would want this display to be tilted. I used to draw on a horizontal surface and when painting in watercolor, I would keep the board at about 15-to-20 degrees. It feels comfortable for eyes and hands. Of course, if you want to place a digital display vertically or at some steeper angle than 20 degrees, you would need a special stand, which is available separately at the Huion online store. However, I find it perfect as is. For me as an artist, the best thing about this pen-display is its colors. It comes with an impressive color gamut, contrast ratio, number of colors and viewing angle. It is capable of displaying over one billion colors. I've heard that a human eye can see about 10 million colors, which means that this display actually can show 100 times more colors than we can detect. This is huge! Also, the contrast ratio is one thousand two hundred to one, which is very impressive, so is the color gamut, which is one hundred forty percent of sRGB.

Another good thing about the Huion screen is its viewing angle, which is 178 degrees. It is very close to 180! It is very unlikely that you would be looking at your screen at such an oblique angle, but what it really means is that the colors and tonal values will appear the same at different angles of view. The saturation would reduce should you look at a very oblique angle, but this is not how you would use such a display.

The full laminated anti-glare glass screen is also very important. The etched glass gives no reflection, no glare. Also, because its surface is finely textured, it feels like very smooth paper under the pen tip, not as a slippery glass. This effect can be increased by changing a standard plastic nib to a felt nib. Which nib to use is down to personal preferences. Some artists like more friction between the screen and a pen, others might prefer smoother pen gliding. As for me, I feel comfortable in both cases, but it is good to have spare nibs both made of plastic and fibrous material.

When it comes to the pen performance, I think it is better than you would need. It has over eight thousand levels of pressure sensitivity. I do not think that any human could control a hand with such precision of pressure. Also, it has over five thousand LPI pen resolution. Once again, you would not need such high precision for digital drawing. In addition, the pen supports tilt up to 60 degrees. So, it is really better than an average user would need. Also, because this pen is battery-free there is no need in charging or issues with the battery life-span. This is a solid, great performing stylus that would satisfy all your digital drawing needs. By the way, its non-working end does not have an eraser, which is a good thing for a professional artist because an eraser is just a digital brush that can be handled with high precision when working with a fine nib instead of a blunt non-working end. I like it that way and honestly do not see a point in adding extra functionality to this stylus. The non-reflective glass is smooth, fine-textured, and pleasant to touch. This Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) pen-display is a great piece of equipment! It is solid, stylish, well-built, and has stable performance. It had no glitches or driver issues. It switches on with a swift push of a button and loads quickly. It switches off with ease as well. If you are looking for a big size, good-performance, rich-color, high-resolution pen-display for a very reasonable price, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) would be a great choice!
