2023 Amazon Prime Day Art Supply Deals for Visual Artists

Everyone is a fan of free, but free doesn’t always cut it if you’re looking for the best. While I’m partial to Krita (free illustration software), it has its limitations. If you can afford it, this is the best illustration software deal on Prime Day:

• Adobe Creative Cloud | 12-Month Access $599.88 $357.99
  • 12 months of Adobe Creative Cloud for 12 months at 40% off??? That’s a STEAL. This includes over 20 Adobe apps, including Photoshop. If you can afford it, this is definitely a deal you don’t want to pass up. Photoshop is rated by most as THE software for digital artists.

I actually didn’t see any other illustration software available with the Prime Day filter on in Amazon. But that’s ok! Because if you can afford the above, that’s all you need! And if you you’re looking for free, Krita is my recommendation!

Drawing Tablet Deals

What’s a digital artist without a drawing tablet? Well, actually, you can technically still draw with a mouse, but these will make it much easier!

• 23.8″ XPPen Artist24 Drawing Tablet: $569.99 $455.59
  • “Holy smokes man, I thought you were a starving artist??” I am… (weeps) I don’t have this, but I wish I did, and this is the best Prime Day deal (good grief, what a mouthful) I could find on Amazon for a drawing tablet! While I don’t personally have one, I would love to have a drawing tablet like this as opposed to one without a screen (I have the Medium Wacom One, which is on sale for $77.45, but not a Prime Deal).
• Huion KAMVAS 20 Drawing Tablet $399.00 $295.20
  • I know, I know, this is another wicked expensive one for us starving artists. But I wanted to include another top-notch option for those of you that are looking for something just a tad less expensive that the first. This has an unbeatable 4.6-stars on Amazon and over 1,500 reviews. Personally, I prefer the Wacom brand, but this is a massive 19.5-inch drawing tablet with excellent reviews. I had to add it to the list.
• One by Wacom (Medium) $99.95 $77.45 (Not a Prime deal, but this is what I use!)
  • “Wow, you really ARE a starving artist…” Yeah… But it’s probably more accurate to say that I’m very particular about where I spend money. Or, as some like to say it: A cheapskate. Haha. But this tablet works EXCELLENT for the price, and I totally recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable option for starting digital art.
• HUION Inspiroy H1060P $66.99 $42.99
  • While I don’t have any personal experience with this tablet, it has a decent rating (4.5 stars) with over 4,400 reviews on Amazon. It’s one of the least expensive drawing tablet deals that I could find during the Prime Day sale.
