Stress has become an all-too-familiar companion for many people in today’s fast-paced society. Work, personal duties, and constant connectivity may leave us feeling depleted and stressed. However, there is a simple, yet powerful technique that may bring peace in the middle of chaos: the art of drawing. Drawing has been shown to be a therapeutic practice that helps people to express themselves, discover inner peace, and lower stress levels.

Whether you consider yourself an artist or feel you lack creative aptitude, drawing opens the door to a world of calm and relaxation.

Drawing has long been recognized as a form of creative expression, but its influence on our mental health is far more profound. When we draw, our concentration turns off our anxieties and pressures, allowing us to reach a state where time appears to stand still. The repetitive motion of the hand and the visual interaction with the image generates a meditative experience that promotes relaxation and lowers stress hormones in the body. So, what if you can draw anywhere and anytime?

With the Galaxy Tab S8 Series you can enjoy using the full version of Clip Studio Paint[1] for free for 6 months. Connect your Galaxy Smartphone[2] with your Galaxy Tab and extend the screen, so that you can use the palette on the phone, while drawing on the tablet. This is so that the palette doesn’t block your view of your sketch on the tablet.

Imagine you are an artist, the S Pen is a drawing pen or brush, your Galaxy Smartphone is a palette, and your Galaxy Tab as a drawing canvas. With these devices paired in the Galaxy ecosystem, you have all the tools an artist needs.

Artistic techniques and the craft of storytelling take time to hone, so for renowned comic artist Yen Ee (Fishball), having her Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has helped her extend her creative productivity and bring her comic to life. Her experience using the tablet is an example for aspiring digital artists who are looking for the perfect device, so they can start their journey to craft and illustrate their stories with ease.

Measuring at 14.6 inches, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra’s expansive size offers her an aspect ratio of 16:10, giving her a large canvas to work on without constraint. The Super AMOLED display brings vibrant colours and details to life and offers excellent contrast to display her artwork. Each detail is easily highlighted to enhance the overall effect of her design.

Crucial for all artists is her brush, and for this she has the S Pen, which comes in the box alongside a Book Cover Keyboard, for her to use on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The S Pen has a latency that has been reduced by 30% in supported apps, so she can experience a closer to pen-on-paper feel that gives her an almost real-life effect of sketching and drawing. Once she’s completed her designs and sketches, she can simply snap back the S Pen to the back of her tablet, so it’s nearby whenever inspiration strikes.

The Clip Studio Paint app[1], available on her Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra gives Yen Ee her very own personal art studio. The app gives her the option of over 50,000 ready-to-use pens and brushes so she can explore different strokes. She can also extend her creative productivity by using her Galaxy smartphone as a palette, where she can select colours from her smartphone using her S Pen and use this on the tab.  She can also customise tools and choose brush options, and select vivid real-world colours from pictures she has taken on the synced phone. This gives her the creative freedom to seek inspiration from her surroundings.

To view Yen Ee craft her next master piece with the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, watch:
