Update 10 Sept 2023: My full review is up.

XPPen just released the XPPen Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2). Official retail price is USD 599 and the launch promo price is USD 539.

This pen display is larger and has higher resolution of 2560 x 1600 than the USD 419 XPPen Artist Pro 14 (Gen 2) I reviewed a few weeks ago. Yes, it's a rare but very useful 16:10 aspect ratio.

XPPen also hinted at a 22-inch model that may appear at the end of 2023. I hope that's a 16:10 aspect ratio as well.

Will I be getting a review unit? Not sure yet.

My online course for Infinite Painter is now available on Skillshare (membership required), Gumroad (USD 14.90) and Patreon (coming soon).

It's a beginner's course that covers the essential tools and digital art workflow to get you started with Infinite Painter. The tutorials are guided step by step and reference photos are provided for you to follow along.

You can now purchase the workshop and sketch passes from the registration page.

Prices are 150,000 won (~USD 113) for the workshop passes and 100,000 won (~USD 75) for the sketch passes (with one demo included).

If you have never been to an international urban sketching event, you should definitely go for one. It's incredibly fun. Unfortunately I won't be available to attend this.

Don't worry about the language barrier because there will be many assistants and S Korean urban sketchers around to help you.

Here are some videos from the GyeongJu Sketch Festa 2023.
