The XP-Pen Artist 22 is a large-format pen display designed to give illustrators and designers room to think, sketch, and refine ideas at a natural scale. Built around a 21.5-inch fully laminated display and paired with XP-Pen’s latest X3 Pro Smart Chip pen technology, it delivers precise pen response, stable colour, and a comfortable drawing posture.

FAQs:
Who is the Artist 22 best suited for?
The Artist 22 suits illustrators, designers, and students who want a large drawing surface without stepping into very high-end studio pricing. It’s beneficial for artists who prefer to see their work at near-print size while drawing.
How does the X3 Pro pen improve drawing feel?
The X3 Pro pen offers finer pressure resolution and more stable tracking than earlier generations. This gives smoother line tapering, better response to light touches, and more predictable behaviour during fast strokes.
Does the laminated screen make a real difference?
Yes. Lamination reduces parallax, so the cursor stays close to the pen tip. This improves accuracy and makes drawing feel more direct, especially when working on detailed areas.
Is the display comfortable for long sessions?
The anti-glare surface and adjustable stand help reduce eye strain and improve posture. Setting the screen angle properly makes a noticeable difference during longer drawing sessions.
Which software is compatible with the Artist 22?
The display works with most major creative applications, including Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, Krita, and MediBang, as well as 3D software such as Blender, on supported operating systems.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
