Using Paperlike with drawing tablets

Some people want more texture and have suggested trying paper like on drawing tablets. I gave this a brief test with a pen tablet. Here are my thoughts:

• The texture feeling is strongly dependent on the nib material. For example:

  • Apple pencil - The texture is very apparent. Pencil clearly grips the surface

  • Huion PW550 (felt nib) - a little less texture than the surface of the Huion Kamvas Pro 19

  • Wacom Pro Pen 2 - the texture was a little less than the Intuos Pro standard texture

  • Wacom Pro Pen 3 - the texture was a little less than the Intuos Pro standard texture

• Overall I didn't find it worth it for pen tablets.

• Generally: I wouldn't describe the feeling "like paper". but when working with the Apple Pencil it definitely adds a lot more grip to the surface. Unfortunately that doesn't extend to the drawing tablet pens i tried.
