My review on GNU/Linux of the drawing tablet XPpen Artist 12 3rd is now published! It's a clever little display drawing tablet and relatively cheap, I’m truly loving it! I've already used it to finish a comic on the train, and it'll be my my go-to device for travelling from now on. 🩷 Taking the pink one was the best decision!
