DeviantArt Draw is a powerful in-browser art tool packed with painting tools, filters, and brushes you can draw with by hand on different devices, including a Wacom tablet.

In this article, you’ll learn how to set up your Wacom tablet for use with Draw to make your workflow smoother and more natural.

Once your Wacom drivers are installed, pressure sensitivity usually works automatically. Your strokes should respond naturally to how hard you press.

Most browsers handle this without any extra steps, such as Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. However, note that Safari doesn’t currently support pressure sensitivity.

Undo and Redo shortcuts should also work without additional setup.

Make them easier to reach by assigning an express key in your Wacom settings. Just pick a button, set it to Undo (located in both the Recommended and Keyboard sections) — and you’re good to go.

You can quickly adjust brush sizes by using a convenient dial shortcut on your Wacom.

It should look like this:

Zooming is slightly more work, as Wacom’s built-in Zoom option unfortunately zooms the whole page instead of just your canvas.

The workaround to ensure Zoom only affects your canvas:

It should look like this:

Similarly, Wacom’s default Pan and Scroll settings need a tweak to work correctly in Draw.

In the Keyboard shortcut, assign one of your express keys to the Spacebar. 

Holding it down activates the Hand Tool in DeviantArt Draw, letting you move around your canvas freely.

The Express Menu works just like your buttons or dials. Add any shortcuts here by assigning them the same way as above.
