Drawing Tablets

Sep 20, 2006 17:13

Awhile back I mentioned that I wanted a drawing tablet. Today, I thought it again and went and did some research online. From what I read, Wacom seems to be the best brand.

I know some of you out there on my flist have tablets. Tell me what you know about them and suggest which you think is good?

But seriously. Wacom is an awesome brand. I have the biggest one. I REALLY want the tablet monitor

I have a Wacom as well, the first Graphire one, I think. I've had it for YEARS and I've never had a problem with it :D People think it's small, but it's perfect for me. I can't really see myself using a huge one. It looks like more effort.. lol.

I've got a Wacom Graphire 3 6'x8' and it is love.
When I was getting one, some friends recommended that I go for the 4'x5' because it's for people who draw from the wrist (which is what most people do), while the 6'x8' is for those who draw from the shoulder/elbow...(i don't remember which), which is the "proper" way to draw. I was also told that the 6'x8' would be cumbersome and so on, but I went for it anyway because I didn't think I'd be able to use the 4'x5' properly.

Oh, and I remember reading through this site when I was trying to decide:

I think your best bet is to see if you can test a friend's (or one in-store if they allow you to) and see what feels right to you. Everyone is different.

hope that helps =D
