I'm just quickly sharing what my arting-setup looks like because I've been asked about that before. :>

I mainly use one monitor for my art-software and my photo reference. I tried out several two monitor setups before but always found this more convenient because I can look at my reference at a glance and don't have to twist my head around to see it on the other monitor.

I use Krita for all of my work. One huge benefit is that it is OpenSource, so you don't have to pay a dime to use it. What I also came to really appreciate about it is that it is very modular and customizable. I stripped it down to the bare tools and dockers I need and arranged them so they take up as little space as possible. If you've ever used graphics software before you might notice that I also don't have vertical and horizontal scroll bars to navigate the canvas. I hid them because I do all my navigation via hotkeys anyway so the scrollbars would just needlessly take up space.

That's enough art-nerding.
Have a great day and or rest of your day! :D

Using open source? Based uwu my boomer ass is stuck using Paint Tool Sai v2 lol. Krita and CSP look nice, but I have 15 years of muscle memory with Sai can I just can't rip myself away, no matter how much I try.

I'm curious, what's your weapon of choice? My ancient purple Intuos2 passed away earlier this year and I've been using a little Intuos M since. The driver issues have been... interesting.

Driver issues are the reason why I will never go back to Wacom. :S I am currently using a HUION H11611. I don't know how they do it but I never had a single issue with the drivers using HUION products, they just work as intended.
