Tutorial: How to draw monstrous milkshakes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Spooky season is here, and what better way to embrace the spirit of Spooktober than to draw some monstrous milkshakes? Our resident artist, Phoebe Shore, whipped up these gorgeous designs for us, along with a video tutorial to show you all how it's done. To get started, you'll need a blank canvas of some kind, be it a physical sketchbook or one of the best drawing tablets. The next thing to organise is a ghoulish colour palette equipped with some of the best pens for artists and the best markers
Meet the 3D printing tool I can’t believe I ever went without (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last year, I put together an article and demo video on the 6 essential tools for finishing your 3D prints. Almost exactly 12 months later, I think I need to make a part 2. My process for tidying up printed 3D models has been revolutionised thanks to one handheld electric tool. A company called Hozo sent me its new NeoSander for consideration, and I haven't been able to stop using it.

It's powered by the impressive NVIDIA Jetson Thor robotics platform and will act as a hub for smart home control by respo
The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is a five-star phone, but has one key disappointment for digital artists (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is what a phone made for creative professionals looks like. I think the Z Fold8 Ultra has set an extremely high standard here, and ticks a lot of boxes for a premium price. It has an optimised design and software features to enhance multitasking, productivity, content creation, and casual browsing for all kinds of use cases, though sadly it's missing one key element that would make it the ruler of the market - why, oh why, did Samsung bail on stylus compatibility? Why you can trust Creative
XPPen slashes 50% off drawing tablets for its 21st Anniversary sale (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Great news for digital artists! XPPen has launched a mega sale to celebrate its 21st anniversary, and there are some seriously good deals in both the US and UK on some of the best drawing tablets of all time (we know, we've tested them). The company has also launched its new Artist Ultra 14 drawing display, an OLED tablet with impressive specs for just $699, down to $592.99 as part of the sale, running until September 15th. The standout deal seems to be on the popular Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2), whic
