Tablets

Jester Lapse · 02-03-2013

I am currently looking into buying a drawing tablet, and I know some of you use them. So any recommendations/things I should look into?

I use a Wacom Bamboo Create. I like it, but I don't really have much to compare it to. It's really smooth for drawing, and I've adapted to using it.

I'd recommend anything from the Wacom Bamboo series.
They generally have good reviews.

Did some research, and only thing that really concerns me is size and how small/limited some of them seem to be. What size's do you recommend, or have and how well does that work out for you?

I'm sure you would get used to using any size. I've only used mine, so I can't properly compare them for you. The size of mine has never been a problem though! As for them being "limited", I guess it just depends on what you are doing. It's definitely a handy tool, so I don't really see how it would hold anyone back from doing something.

Just keep researching the different models and imagine yourself using them. I watched a lot of reviews on Youtube before getting mine, but it all comes down to personal preference.

Start with a Wacom Bamboo. Tablets have a very, very steep learning curve so there's no point in investing in something expensive to start. I still only use a Wacom Bamboo, so you're not exactly crippling yourself if you have a small one.

Wacom Bamboo is good.

Thanks! I will definitely look into it, I just wanna make sure it is something I want before I invest in getting one.

wat. Oh uhm. I got bored and bought a Wacom Bambo, but I don't remember the exact model. I can't do art or draw or anything at all, but I find it a lot of fun.

Wacom is the best brand for tablets. I love my Intuos 5, so many handy tools that are adaptable to any editing program. I'd definitely take Dusty's advice though, it's best to start out with Bamboo.
