New Release: UGEE Q6 Mobile Drawing Tablet (First-Look Preview)

Digital artists and creators need the best technology at their fingertips to bring their ideas to life. Traditionally, art has been drawn on paper, with a more common trend of digital creation. One issue is that digital creation hasn’t always felt the same as drawing on paper. If that’s an issue that hits close to home for you, then you may want a drawing tablet.

These devices connect to your phone, tablet, or computer and allow you to draw on them just like you would with paper. However, the drawing is then transferred digitally to your device, where you can see it come to life.

In the world of drawing tablets, one that has great functionality along with extreme portability is the newly released UGEE Q6 Mobile Drawing Tablet. If that sounds like something you need, then it’s definitely worth reading more about it below.

Ultra-Portable and Easy to Take Anywhere

With a drawing tablet like this, portability is crucial. The ability to take your drawing capabilities with you wherever you go enables you to create art like never before. The UGEE Q6 enables you to do just that. It’s available with dimensions of only 6.5 x 8.6 x .4 inches. Its weight is also only .5 pounds.

This means it’s about the same size and weight as a small notebook, so you can easily put it in your backpack or bag or just carry it with you. Whether you want to go to your favorite park and do a sketch or meet your friend in the city and draw their portrait, the UGEE Q6 can go where you need it to.

Detachable Cable for Ease of Use

One great feature that makes it versatile and portable is the detachable USB-C cable. This cable is used to plug into your devices and makes it so you don’t have to utilize any alternative cables or adapters.

When you’re taking it with you on the go, simply unplug it and store it so it doesn’t damage the drawing tablet while in transit. If you want, you can even store it in a specially designed channel in the back of the tablet so you always know where it is.

Designed for Drawing in Multiple Configurations

Digital drawings require a ton of different sizes for the various places they will be viewed by your online audience. To help accommodate this, the Q6 has the ability to be set to one of four drawing modes and configurations. The first is for a full-screen smartphone, with an aspect ratio of 20:9.

The second is for non-full-screen smartphones, with a ratio of 16:9. If Android tablets are more your style, it can work with them in a 16:10 aspect ratio. Finally, when used with other devices or even computers, it can accommodate an aspect ratio of 9:16. These various modes let you take full control of your drawing needs and allow you to fully release your creativity in a digital way.

Comfortable and Battery-Free Stylus Included

In order to create your digital art on a drawing tablet, you’ll need a good stylus. Lucky for you, the Q6 comes with an awesome one to use as soon as you set it up. This stylus is designed to be battery-free, so you never have to worry about it needing to charge. It has 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, so you can easily create anything you think of.

It’s also capable of 60 degrees of tilt recognition to let you draw how you want. The stylus also has a resolution of 5080 LPI and creates a natural drawing feel with no delays with at least 200RPS and a reading height of at least 10mm. Plus, there are eight removable nibs included, so if you happen to break one, you can easily replace it and get back to creating.

Plenty of Shortcuts for Improved Functionality

The Q6 isn’t just a tablet that you draw on; it has a ton of functionality built into it as well. To control these functions, there are seven buttons along the side that are easy to access and use. They control functions including undo, redo, increase brush size, decrease brush size, erase, brush type, and drawing mode.

They are also grouped next to their related button functions so that you can keep from getting confused while using them. The Q6 also has indicator lights on the edge to let you know what mode it’s being used in, as well as functionality info.

Not Just For Drawing

Even though it’s a drawing tablet, that’s not the only thing you can do with the Q6. For example, you can use it in your photo editing, note-taking, online education, or art journaling.

With a wide variety of uses, you don’t have to feel limited to just drawing on it. While that is the main reason to use it, it’s proven itself incredibly useful for just about anything you could want it for when paired to your computer or mobile device.

High Compatibility

To help the Q6 even further enable your digital creativity, it’s compatible with a whole host of apps and operating systems. You can use it on your smartphone, tablet, or computer if it runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, or Chrome OS.

As for the art programs it can work with, there are dozens, with some of the more prominent options being Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk, and Affinity. For the most part, if it’s a drawing program, chances are the Q6 is going to work just fine.

This is great so that you don’t have to change your current hardware or learn new software. All you need to do is plug in the Q6, launch your favorite art program, and start bringing your ideas to reality.
