The Huion for reference.

Yeah this one does not have a screen I've actually been researching it a bit lately trying to find somehting suitable that's portable I can draw on. It's starting to sound like an ipad with the apple pencil is one of the better options. (I've also found nicer cheaper looking options other than this Monoprice tablet for basic drawing)

Wacom has some devices they call their "pen computers" that are full in windows tablets to rival the surface pro and then some but they will cost you and arm and a leg.

I've also been looking at the surface go tablet but research on that suggest it may not be fanatic at drawing and will still cost quite a bit after the $100 pen addon.

But there are lots of graphics tablets that plug into a pc and just operate as a secondary monitor with touch/pen inputs. They can ran range from $300 or $1000 or more. Wacom has been the industry standard for professional work but I think there are lots of other bands these days that are good too. I've had this one in my bookmarks for a while

If you are looking at Huion tablets, I have this one. Have had it about 2 years now and it's never let me down. Good screen size, colors, etc.

Ha ha, cintiq :) maybe if I win the lottery one day.

I mostly just don't have a buzzer set up, and I don't trust couriers :) also shopping at amazon makes me ill because of their predatory capitalism


Think this is a good deal? I was thinking something lower-mid range. https://www.amazon.ca/GT-156HDV2-Drawing-Monitor-Display-Sensitivity/dp/B0779QTQ13/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=huion+kamvas&qid=1556250724&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

I was in your shoes about 7 months ago. Wanted to dip my feet into digital art. I wanted a tablet with a screen, but they were so expensive. So I decided to go with this instead.

While a little bit pricey, compared to other non-screen tablets, it is the best name brand on the market. There is another version of this tablet that is only 100$ but it was quite a bit smaller. I ended up with this one because 200$ did not kill my budget and I wanted a slightly bigger one. As far as the disconnect between looking at the monitor while drawing and not your had, it took me about 2 hours to lose the weird feeling. After that it felt completely normal. So I would not worry about that too much.

​

After about 5 months with this tablet my birthday came around and I decided to upgrade to one with a screen. While I could not really afford one of the screened Wacom ones, I did find this.

After alot of research on youtube I found that this tablet was the best bang for my buck. It was not 1000$ like the Wacoms, and provided a bigger screen for comfort. I am so happy I went with this in the end.

​

Id say start without a screen, and later on upgrade if you enjoy digital art. You can always sell your old tablet on ebay to make some of that money back. Also as a side note, I'd also HIGHLY recommend Krita as your first digital art program. It is 100% free, and is the best free software on the market. Or at least the one that most easily translates over to Photoshop, which is what most professionals use. Hope any of this helps. Good luck!
