Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Wacom Tablet and two hours of work. Animating in PS can be confusing sometimes so initial set up is key (i.e. custom keyboard bindings/actions etc plus a background layout helps to navigate/reuse and re-edit frames).
Good luck on your memeing ventures comrade!
No, most people use graphics tablets such as [wacom] (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL490DW-Digital-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B010LHRFM2/ref=pd_lpo_147_bs_t_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1BEZ8C92GSGQGFH551A3) or [huion] (https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1472743112&sr=1-5&keywords=huion)
The basic Bamboo is only $57 on amazon and that'll be plenty good enough to learn with.

It's literally like $20. Stop eating for 2 or so days and its an easy buy.
sneaky edit: this is the one I'm talking about
i sorta kinda went to art school in a roundabout way. i started off in neuroscience, then i did a year of fine art and a year of community art college. i've done a lot of workshops and things though and i read a lot of art books and blogs and the like.
and yay for games! i actually work at a game company, Naughty Dog. it's a really fun industry. digital art is definitely a must for doing game art. Wacom is the tablet that I swear by however there are so many good cheap alternatives now. Here are some that I'd recommend for you to start out by trying:

oh and check it out manga studio is on sale, that's a good program too, great alternative to photoshop which is really pricey: http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Micro-Software-Inc-ALA31002327/dp/B00ANH074Y/ref=pd_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=513uN0rVQlL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR111%2C160_&refRID=0VT0HQ9EMB6J118RBJWD
In all seriousness, if you get something like this tablet and a free drawing program that is specifically not ms paint you'd be good to go.
I'm not a pro or anything but I've been drawing digitally as a hobby for years now with a huge range of tablets from super compact to really large and even screen tablets, and a medium sized drawing tablet is literally all you need.
And though I personally use Photoshop, there are plenty of really really good free drawing programs out there as well. I'd probably recommend Krita.
It's a very cool and rewarding hobby.

is the kind of thing. It seems to be used by many people.
Use one of these
My girlfriend is deaf and the first couple months of our relationship was basically all through that before I learned sign well enough.
Wacom's price entry point is high. If you're looking for a starter tablet there are a lot of comparable products.
EDIT: This bad boy got some good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00GIGGS6A
i play with a Huion H420 (1) with an extra pen (2). i playd with wacom by a friend (3).
i think wacomstylus is thinner and u can hover higher above the tablet. huion is a simpler tablet. if u buy the tablet just for osu, i think a wacom is wasted potential.
(sry for my english, hope u can understand my point) =)

Huion 420
I used a Wacon Intuos5
If you're planning to buy a tablet I suggest the new Wacom Intuos or if you have a little more cash to spend you can buy the Intuos Pro. There a few sizes you can choose but price gets high the bigger the size :)
Good question. After a quick search around, I found this thing:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002ZE4TDI/
Its website: http://www.improvelectronics.com/us/en/
And a review video and its accompanying article:

http://www.gadgetmadness.com/2010/10/14/review-boogie-board-paperless-writing-lcd-tablet/
I've never heard of this thing until now so you may wanna do some more research on it before buying, but it seems to fit your needs and is cheaper than what the noteslate was gonna be (but it's missing a lot of the features the noteslate was gonna have...)
Edit: This one has the ability to save: http://www.improvelectronics.com/us/en/boogie-board-LCD-writing-tablet/boogie-board-rip-LCD-writing-tablet.html
I was the same, started with a mouse and got used to the game for a couple months. Got a tablet when I was around rank 100k and a month later I'm at 45k with my rank exploding once I got my tablet. Give it a shot, it's only $25 on Amazon.

Photoshop CC and this tablet.
Here's a thought:
Could he live normally if he wore a glove with some of the fingers missing? Like these. As long as he's wearing that, his fingertips won't all touch the same thing unless he closes his fist and disintegrates the glove.
Think about this; vanilla was released in 2004. Hardware since then has evolved drastically, to the point where it's very hard to find hardware from 2004. Even the worst hardware, as long as it's modern, would run vanilla just fine, even with integrated graphics.
Do you need that for school? Its price tag is beyond a ripoff.

cheaper, better, it'll run current gen. If you need the drawing portion, I recommend just buying an art tablet with it. My only problem with it personally, the only company I've come to trust is Asus. Had bad experiences with MSI and HP, dell is kinda iffy. Now if you are really willing to spend in the 1000$ area, I recommend buying a laptop from Origin PC. Not cheap, but the equivalent to a desktop.

Tablets: (don't let wacom fuck you on prices, they're assholes, their shits made in China yet they still charge out the ass because their brand is well known, you can get another better Chinese tablet for a quart of the price. Doesn't seem to be an escape from buying Chinese tablets unfortunately, I have yet to find a US manufacturer).

Wacoms works great in linux, I have 2 of em at home, the only thing with wacom is that they are quite expensive compared to the huion tablets which offers great value and pressure sensitivty, larger for less money, and also have battery less stylus.
However if you get a huion you will have to install a driver but should be easy.
https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers
The wacom equivalent is much more expensive than this huion. http://www.amazon.com/H610-Pro-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426639551&sr=8-1&keywords=huion
programs:
Gimp(image manipulation) of course! Krita(Scetch & paint), mypaint(Scetch & paint), Inkscape(vector), blender if you want to do 3D sculpting, synfig studio for 2d animation, pinta.
yeah they use draw tablets, kinda like these
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
I use one of these :) I don't recommend it for someone who's just getting into drawing, though, because it's such a huge investment. I had about a decade of daily drawing under my belt before I got my first tablet.
Isn't that pen/tablet less than a hundred dollars? Mind you, I only work part-time, but it doesn't seem that expensive.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292544223&sr=8-1
For a pretty decent, and inexpensive tablet, I'd get this Wacom one.
I use either Flash or Photoshop to make all of my comics. I know that Flash isn't made for drawing comics, but I used to do crummy little animations, and got used to the way the tools on there work.
I have a little Wacom table that I do all of my drawings on. I wish it had a bigger area to draw on, but it works for me.
Once I draw my frames in Flash or Photoshop, I put them into icomic. It's a cheap little program for macs that comes with the ilife package. That's where I make my panels and add text.
Everything I do is very low budget and probably not that professional. That's why my comics don't look as polished as a lot of the well-known webcomics.
My biggest piece of advice is this: If you want to do something, do it. If your kid wants to get into comics, any way they can make them is good. I've been making comics for six years and still get a lot of criticism for using too much text or various other things. They'll never be perfect, but they'll be theirs.
Best of luck, and if you ever want to email me with more questions, feel free to use the contact form on my site.
THE DRAWING TABLET!
Make your dreams a reality!!!!
Enter /u/i_draw_dinosaurs contests!!
Have drawings your children do forever BECAUSE THEY ARE DIGITALLLLLLLLLLLL!
I know it's a little over $50.... But I still think you should do it!
You can't beat the Turcom for the price. It's only about $60, good size, decent amount of side buttons, pen sensitivity is actually pretty good, and it is fairly responsive. If you want an Wacom Cintiq type of experience for a much lower price, try the Yiynova. Don't take my word for either of these alone, read all the reviews.
Huion 420 25$
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
This is the cheapest Wacom tablet
and don't ever let yourself feel limited because you have the "lowest end" Wacom. This person has a Bamboo Connect and it doesn't look like it's holding them back any!
For reference, the Bamboo Connect was the lowest end Wacom tablet four years ago
These lower end tablets do have a smaller surface area. It's about on par with the size of your standard postcard. If you want something bigger but cant afford Wacoms larger offerings Huion is another company I would recommend.
Specifically these two models
Huion H610 Pro
Huion Giano
The reason I favor Wacom is just overall customer and driver support. Huion is just a chinese company and their customer and driver support isn't the greatest. But if you are patient their tablets are just as good.
I only know all this info off hand because I've spent the last two weeks shopping for a tablet myself. I ended up ordering one of these it arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to try it out. If it's disappointing I might return it and order the Huion Giano I linked above.
Here this is a good one for a cheap price
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet-Board/dp/B00TB0TTAC/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496700227&sr=1-4&keywords=huion
You don't sound ignorant! There's no magical way to know this stuff.
I use the program Clip Studio Paint. It's a kind of photshop-lite aimed at digital painters and comic artists. It's pretty cheap ($50 I think?) but not free.
If you don't want to spend money, I would recommend Krita! I used it for years, it's a great free option. A lot of people also like Paint Tool SAI.
Art tools (tablets, pens, ect) often come with their own software, but it's pretty shitty (usually pared-down versions of more expensive software). The programs i mentioned are IMO much better options than the stuff that usually comes with wacom products.
If you're interested in starting with digital art, I can recommend this tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Pro-Graphic-Carrying/dp/B00ZWRSQ4I/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1511399191&sr=1-6&keywords=drawing+tablet
If you're thinking about getting a new laptop, I would recommend lenovo's 2-in-1s! They work surprisingly well for digital art.
The spiral tool is. A drawing pad is a computer accessory that lets you draw with a stylus vs the mouse. This is the one I use.
Wacom is always the way to go.
This is the tablet I use at work and home. So far the best small tablet Wacom has made. Very affordable. Small but great.
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Drawing-Software-Included-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2VI2I6FI23ME4
The closer your tablet is in size to your monitor, the more natural it will feel to use and the easier a time you'll have adjusting to it. The bigger your tablet is, the more you can draw from your shoulder and elbow as well, to get smoother, more flowing lines. This is the tablet I have now and honestly I'd probably go insane if I had to use one smaller than that now.
Unless it's used, in very good condition, and you can verify it works, I wouldn't spend as little as £30 on a tablet. £50-75 for new is more the range for a starter tablet that'd actually be worth having.
This is what I use for digital drawing.
I have zero complaints, works very well. The only tidbit is I hear driver issues can be a problem; I have experienced none, but I did read that a few times, so the concern is there I suppose. Still, it's really cheap for the size, so I like it.
Given both like art, would a low-end drawing tablet be in the cards?
For Rylee, maybe an art kit composed of the following: Tachikawa nibs and holders and ink, or a finetipped pen set Deleter manga paper, and a grown up sketchbook a la trendy Moleskine or Pentalic or classic art student hardcovers like so. As she develops as an artist she'll learn more whether she likes different sizes, thicker or thinner paper, or toned paper. Maybe throw in a few making of books from her favorite series (like IDK this one for Avatar the Last Airbender or this one for Spirited Away.) Getting a good making of book for a movie or animated film can be life changing. For me, even though I read it years after Brother Bear came out, this was an enlightening read about the movie making process and has some seriously gorgeous art. I haven't read the one for Moana yet so I have no idea whether it leans more toward text (like the making of Hunchback of Notre Dame did...so very little art in that book) or pictures, but it's more recent than Brother Bear. And yes, most of us artists have these books on our shelves, albeit with different movies/series depending on taste. Some of the Marvel movies have excellent making of books too. ;)
I'd recommend some drawing books, but the ones I know all have nudity in them and I don't know how you'd feel about that. I'd caution against 'how to draw manga' books as a general rule, but I owned a few and some art very, very good at teaching how to direct the eye for storytelling.
For your younger, I'd suggest many of the same things, except maybe not the nibs and ink because sharp and messy. If you get either of them colored art supplies, I'd either make sure they get the exact same set of markers or colored pencils, or get one markers, the other colored pencils. It can be rough sharing an interest with a sibling. And maybe some Sideways Math from Wayside School (I'd also suggest all three Wayside School books, they're brain bendy in a good way). Another brain tickling book (for me it was, anyway) was the Phantom Tollbooth. Maybe a how to draw horses book. A making of book or two about movies she liked - Frozen, maybe? IDK. Maybe a Goldiblox set to get her engineer brain in gear. Oh! I forgot about Spirit, the animated horse movie no one remembers.
I'm still planning on going straight to digital though. My hands aren't very steady (though I figure it may improve over time), so I'd like to take advantage of the smoothing in digital, and I just prefer the look of digital most of the time. Also, fixing mistakes is easier in digital, and I already have a bit of experience with photoshop.
I'll be honest, the only real reason I want to draw is to have some kind of artistic talent, and also to draw my sona and other furry shit. Like, I want to be able to make my own branding amd PFPs (I appreciate good art and would be willing to shell out money to artists, but if I can achieve a decent result myself, I'll try because I'm stingy as fuck)
Thanks a ton for the advice though. If you don't mind me asking, which of these looks like a better deal to you?

On a side note, I find it hilarious that they market low end tablets as "Osu Tablets"
[I'll just leave this here.] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TB0TTAC/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2CGOTZ0L1HKR1) it has pretty good reviews.
Usually digitally using a tablet but...there are a lot of amazing hand-drawn fan art as well!
<3
If you're looking to get into digital art yourself...there is a cheap beginner tablet I'd suggest
highly depends on what you're looking for - smooth, rough, watercolor paper, price, cover, style of binding...
As for smudging issues, you could also look into Artist's Gloves (insert obligatory No Affiliation note here) - they're technically made to avoid sticking to drawing tablets and mucking up touch-sensitive ones, but I frequently use mine to avoid smudging or getting hand sweat on my paper when it's hot.
I had the same problem with my tablet so I bought one of these to prevent it
Nobody likes sweaty palms, especially when creating master pieces XD. I would suggest picking up a glove to draw with, something like this. They are simple, breathable and easy to clean. Goodlucks!
They all look like this... https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Artist-Glove-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00VTHAS00
It's made out of a thin satiny material that glides over everything.
However...
I got one for a dollar on ebay from China and the seam between fingers is coming undone... Next time I'll do more research. But you can buy a $15 one or fifteen $1 gloves from China honestly.
I got one of those half gloves which does wonders for keeping my sweaty hands from smudging and warping the paper. Works great. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VTHAS00/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0EwNAbFSM0F8H
Also a decent clipboard that I can tape the paper to and some cheap stencils because I can’t make a decent circle freehand.
The final solution to the cursed mark of the gamer!
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Artist-Glove-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00VTHAS00
Wear a half glove. Don't know what they're actually called.
Here's one on Amazon by Huion. It's what I use. Also decreases smudging. https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Artist-Glove-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00VTHAS00
For tablets any of the cheaper wacom are a decent choice like Wacom Intous Draw.(You might want to aim for a medium size tablet, I've heard a lot people find the small restrictive on arm movement)
A lot of people recommend the Huion H610 Pro as well.
For software I would personally recommend Clip Studio Paint.
It's a solid digital painting software, and right now is(and frequently is) on sale for 60% off($25USD), and even at it's full price is still more than worth it.
Otherwise there is Krita which is 100% free, and open source.
and of course Adobe Photoshop, which will cost you a monthly fee of $9.99USD.
There are plenty of other software, but I find these 3 fill the niche decently. They each behave a little differently, but essential all lead to the same result, which is dependent how you personally use them.
No problem. Also, if you do buy a tablet, the Huion H420 is cheap, but the pen requires a battery which kinda makes the Pen heavy.
That one I linked I like but if you can't afford that, the same company makes This one: XP-Pen G430S which is smaller, but 22.99 rather than 32.99. But I recommend just spending the extra $10.
Noticed Amazon has this side by side. http://prntscr.com/l7v32r
CTL-480
CTL-471
Huion 420
XP-Pen G430
Personally I would recommend the CTL-480
The importance of fundamentals cannot be understated. You wouldn't start construction on a building without understanding the underlying architecture, would you? I know it's difficult, but you really can't afford to skip the essentials when studying any field. You've already seen that taking shortcuts lowers the quality of your finished works, and if you don't change your approach, you have no expectation of changing that outcome. Discipline yourself and build good habits now, and your hard work will pay off in dividends later.
I don't mean to imply that you should banish yourself to the realm of figure drawing and line work forever; nobody should. But it's important to familiarize yourself with proportion and anatomy if only so that your particular artstyle is consistent. Even if you only learn how to make the same mistakes consistently, all your art will improve at once when you learn to correct those mistakes later. Critique is a huge part in identifying weaknesses in your technique and improving your work, but if your work is all over the place, your critique will be, too.
Consider this: what about practicing your fundamentals bores you? What can you do to make it more engaging for yourself? Have you attempted more interesting subject matter or working from more challenging references? Are there any particular perspectives or poses that you like more than others, and if so, why? Have you tried shifting the focus of your work to suit your particular tastes? There are different figure drawing approaches and techniques out there-- how many of them have you tried? Is there anything stopping you from collecting your finished sketches in order to refine them later on?
---
As to where to start, you already know about the fundamentals so I'll link another comment of mine to reiterate their importance and move on.
If you're not going to be working digitally at first, I'm a huge fan of these dot notebooks. They're inexpensive, lovely quality, nondescript, and portable, and the dot pattern is convenient for measuring lengths and widths without the visual clutter that actual graph paper can sometimes give you. I carry one with me for doodling, taking down random thoughts, and drawing maps. The covers aren't super rigid, mind, so press lightly or have a firm, flat surface like a hardcover book handy.
If you want to work digitally, you'll need an entry-level tablet of some kind. The Huion Inspiroy H950P is decent for its price point; it's got a fair-sized workspace, eight programmable express buttons, workable pressure sensitivity, and its pens aren't battery-powered so if you lose them, replacements are comparatively inexpensive. My one complaint is that, because I have large hands, I find I hit the tool-swapping button on my pen by accident unless I hold it just so. I work from a laptop, so the fact that it's not wireless doesn't trouble me but is something you may want to consider. Its little brother, the H640P, is about half the price with a smaller workspace and two fewer express buttons.
Digital artists also need software to work in. I highly recommend Adobe Photoshop CC if you can afford it (or are willing to sail the high seas, so to speak) for its feature set. Photoshop is not strictly for digital illustration so making it work just so for you will take more effort than you'd experience with a more specialized tool, but having its powerful features in my back pocket has never been a disappointment. Paint Tool SAI and Krita are the only other software options I can recommend; I don't have enough experience with other tools to give them a shout-out. If you're on a budget, by the way, Krita is completely free and has a fantastic feature set. Whatever you choose, learn it and learn it well.
Thanks for the question. The Wacom Intuos (CTL4100) would be a great tablet to start with. Its the tablet many people will choose to learn how to use a tablet and to get started with editing.
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Small-Black-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522955564&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ctl4100
Absolutely! I always recommend Wacom as a very reliable brand. Their tablets last a loooong time and it's a fan favorite. I've been using them for years and I always point people towards their starter tablets.
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Drawing-Software-Included-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=wacom+tablet&amp;qid=1556224212&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3
This is the newest model of their "beginner" tablet in size small. It's their cheapest option for someone looking to break into digital art. It's also the same type I used when I first started freelancing (2017 model Intuos Draw Small) before changing to a Wacom Intuos Pro Medium.
Others have given advice, but I might as well chime in.
The Bamboo is a great little starter pad to play with. I wouldn't reccommend it as a real graphic design tool, but it really is a functional little pad that can get the job done and has some fun extra functionality with gestures and what not. The Bamboo is NOT specifically a graphics tablet though. It can function as one, but it is also touch sensitive and most graphics tablets are not reactive to anything but a pen or a conductive mouse created for the tablet surface. But it does have the same technology as an Intuos tablet, which is amazing tech, so it's very capable.
You can get a Wacom Graphire for around the same price as a bamboo, (I owned one of these for a couple year) and it is made for this kind of thing. It is a decent little tablet, and would be alright for a hobbyist or a beginner, but i'd skip it. But it isn't as advanced as the next type of tablet...
which is an Intuos3 and Intuos4. Here is where I would start. I would actually skip the intuos3 simply because the intuos4 is basically an industry standard now. It's tech is updated often and it is simply a fantastic tablet. The intuos 4 is what most people end up with. There are small, medium, and large versions. The size you get is a personal preferance. It also comes down to desk real estate. Not a lot of desks have a huge chuck of space for a large intuos. The medium is a great compromise of space vs. functionality. And actually, a lot of people prefer the slightly smaller ones to reduce having to move your arm/hand around as much reducing fatigue. Also the price is obviously better for a medium sized one than a large one. There is also the wireless version, which is awesome since you can simply stow it away somewhere quick and easy. I would recommend a carrying case for it though to keep it safe. Even just a small laptop bag would be fine. But it's an investment you will want to keep safe.
Finally you have the amazing Cintiq line. The Cintiq 12WX and Cintiq 21UX and I just learned about the silly Cintiq 24HD.
I have a Cintiq 21UX and it has changed the way I work. It has sped up my workflow and made things so much easier and faster and accurate and simply amazing. (Note I didn't quite pay what they are asking for on Amazon but that's the same model). the cintiq's are expensive as hell, but it's an amazing investment if you are really going to take advantage of it.
Note however, that you can do everything on an intuos4 that you can do on a cintiq. The thing with the lesser tablets under the cintiq is you will have a real learning curve dealing with drawing on your desk/lap while looking at the screen. It's weird and takes time to get used to it. But there is AMAZING art done on them. As I said, they are industry standard and amazing pieces of tech.
So I recommend the Intuos4 Medium or the Intuos4 Wireless in the end.
Hope this helps a little. There are alternatives to Wacom, and some can get the job done, but I won't recommend them as in the end, you want a Wacom.
The problem with recommending a tablet is that I can only in good conscience recommend the stuff that isn't very affordable. Buying a tablet is like buying a car; buy cheap and you'll regret it later, because it'll either not be what you need or break down completely. If you're okay with spending around $200, this one is the model I've used for years now, and it's great: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos4-Medium-Pen-Tablet/dp/B001TUYTZW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1450471682&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wacom+intuos+4 Still going strong even after all the wear and tear.
Above all, make sure you're really ready to commit if you buy something in this price range. Well, unless you've got a lot of spending money, I guess.
Wacom Bamboo Tab
As suggested, Wacom. Only Wacom. Genius tablets might "work" but from personal experience (and among my class of graphic designers) the tablets eventually die one way or another. Since you're looking for "cheap", Bamboo Pen is your main option here. Amazon has 'em for $56 atm: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1311693676&amp;sr=8-5
Sometimes you can grab a sale for lower (I think I got mine under $50 with shipping) or you can always search for a used one on Craigslist, Wacom's are very durable, even dropping my pen various times my old Graphire3 still works.
https://brizoma.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/bamboo_pen_ctl460.jpg
^this model.
specs from amazon
I don't know how much shipping is going to be for this. From amazon they estimate shipping to be 5-7. Which is almost half of what you're offering.
I have the Bamboo $59.99 and it works great. I would recommend that you get the cheapest one. That way if you lose interest you aren't regretting the purchase. If you love it and use it a lot you can easily upgrade to a medium intous that has a larger effective area and has programmable buttons to speed up your work.
Boogie board man! It's about twenty bucks, reusable, and lighter than any notebook. Plenty of room to write notes and track life. It's nice to be able to just always leave it in my bag, and never have to worry about if I'm running low on paper.
You do want to be using a pad. Not only does it keep history, but it leaves room for notes too. Dice and phone apps are just strictly worse.

I highly suggest the Wacom Bamboo.. when i was a sophomore in college i got this as a birthday present. I can honestly say my graphic design career as a student would not be the same without this puppy.. cheap, easy to use, and will work wonders for you in the Adobe Suites.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2
does he have a drawing tablet? fun and nifty, and could be really useful for design work.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Small-Tablet-CTL480/dp/B00EN27TCI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Signature-Digital-Cordless/dp/B00DM24HNE
if you can shell out the extra $20 i'd suggest the wacom one because it has a bigger active area & doesn't take batteries (but i hear you only have to replace the huion's batteries every month or so)
I bought a tablet really early on (2-3~ months in), and I found it to be an excellent purchase. Then again, I play osu! everyday for at least 2 hours, so I get plenty of time with it. If you don't believe you will be playing for at least one or two more years, I wouldn't recommend it. Again, as other people say, you don't need a tablet to play well. Many top players use a mouse, and some even use a touchscreen to play high level maps. But if you are set on buying a tablet, I would recommend the CTL480. This is the tablet that most players use at high level. If you need a cheaper option, there always is the osu!tablet or the Huion 420. These three are the most used tablets in osu!, but there are many other options available to you. The only thing you should look out for if you are trying to choose another tablet is latency, as tablets like the CTL490 are known to have latency unplayable with to people used to the above tablets.
As for PP, PP, or Performance Points is gained through passing or "fcing" (full comboing) a map. The higher level/star rating of map you play, the more PP you will get for a play. The easiest ways to get PP are through farm maps such as no title - Reol, MIIRO - AKINO from bless4, MIIRO vs. Ai no Scenario - AKINO from bless4 & CHiCO with HoneyWorks, and many others. The higher accuracy and combo you get, the more PP you will earn. However, as a new player, it isn't recommended to start farming PP. People usually don't start caring about pp until rank 50k to rank 100k (the five digit realm). What you should do as a new player is player harder and harder maps to help you learn how to play the game and then start trying for a higher ranking.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: I forgot about this tablet, the XP-Pen G430. It is similar to the osu!tablet and Huion 420 in size, and is a very recently introduced tablet. You can see high level play with it here.
Well when it comes to tablet's my opinion may be a little bit skewed since I bought this tablet first and foremost to play osu! with, and to draw with second.
That being said This is what I am using. It's even on sale right now so that's pretty neat. Now this tablet comes with a free drawing software, but the software you choose also effects the price of the table (ex the one I got was the cheapest so it came with practically the worst free program). I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend finding out what style your wife wants to draw in and how serious she is about it. I can not recommend clip paint studio pro enough. I've used the software that came with my tablet, and I've used 2 other lite free softwares and nothing compares. It's VERY deep and I'm still learning new things about it, but for 60 dollars I think you get more than what you pay for.
The first tablet I ever bought was this boyo here. This is for people who are like, only passively interested in tablet art AT MOST. the problem with this is that there is definitely a ceiling to it where eventually you will just get tired of putting up with it and switch to the one I linked above. So yeah if she only wants to like doodle once a week or something go for this one, but if she wants to take up the hobby, I've used a lot of stuff and the Wacom Tablet + Clip Paint has been my absolute favorite
Alright well most of the comments here are pretty dumb. My pen broke on the 420 when I had it, buy this
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Rechargeable-Digitizer-Wireless-Christmas/dp/B00DOW6TUQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1404859783&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=huion+wireless+pen
Its rechargable, works on any huion tablet (including yours), and its alot lighter than the other pen. Also the surface/feel of the pen is very sweat proof as an added bonus.
PS. Horo uses it too
Why don't you just buy a less bulky pen then? That's what I did. The Osu! tablet is a reskinned Huion 420 tablet, so it should work on it, because it worked on my Huion 420 tablet. The pen has no battery, so it's just as light as a wacom pen. The only downside to it is that it's not as durable as a Wacom pen. I have experience with both pens.
Here you go! It's actually the same as this tablet, but it's officially sold by Osu! and you get that nifty skin.

$25. Worth it
For the inexpensive : http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
And there are more bigger for some more money.
You can buy this for $25 shipped over at Amazon new. This is just a Huion 420 with custom decals.
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
I own both the osu! tablet and the Huion 420, there is no difference whatsoever. Frankly I prefer my Wacom because I like to rest my palm on the tablet surface.
Consider lowering your price :P GLWS.

FAQ
Why These?
These are the most used tablets throughout the osu! community. You are free to research other tablets but be aware that they may be dis-continued or tagged with other problems such as the CTL 490 which has input lag.
Thank You.
This one nothing fancy though I kind of wish I had gotten the wireless one.
Thank you so much! Sure! This is my tablet https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY, it's an older model, I bought it a few years ago. Let me know if you have any other questions!
By the look of her art and the use of Scratch, I assume your niece is fairly young ("teenage" is a wide margin to guess). This is great that she's starting so early. I started far too late compared to most and regret it every day.
I would not advise a tablet unless she's at least 14, and that's pushing it. If she is and you're ready for the gamble, that's all your choice. They're delicate pieces of hardware and the lower end brands ([Huion] (https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphic-Drawing-Tablet-Pressure/dp/B00DKW816K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466736352&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=huion+tablet), [Monoprice] (https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-6-25-inch-Graphic-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00H4LAF9O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466736418&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=monoprice+tablet), [Ugee] (https://www.amazon.com/Ugee-M708-Digital-Graphics-Rechargeable/dp/B00VUHQECU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466736442&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=ugee+tablet) ) are built a bit weaker than something like a Wacom (suggesting the [Bamboo] (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1466736313&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wacom+bamboo) model to start off, it's a good spot, cheaper and sturdy). but again, I wouldn't risk it at 13 unless you can trust her wholly with an ~$70 piece of hardware.
Software-wise, there are free programs out there to get her started that have better interfaces than Scratch but similar functionality. [Pencil2D] (http://www.pencil2d.org/) is a pretty good starter. Crazy Talk is pretty drag-n-drop, so she wouldn't really get to express her own art as much if at all. It's better to get her something that allows her own art.
I'll always advocate my favorite timeless animation method: post-it notes. get her a bunch of different ones and ask her to use them to animate a little thing. A ball bouncing, a person walking, anything she wants. It's cheap and allows her to really expand on the concept of animation without boundaries.
Good luck :D
Hello, I agree with this. For the last four years i've been using a wacom bamboo (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499077409&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=wacom) , it was only recently I decided to upgrade and until then the wacom has done me absolutely great, honestly I could have kept it but going into my final year of Uni I would mostly be working from home on my projects so I felt like I wanted something a little more.
Keep in mind I am a 3d artist so I mainly use myne for sculpting and texturing in substance painter which is probably different to what you would be using it for.
This is what I got.
Again, I got it with money from graduation gifts, and It still cost me a pretty penny.
But if you're just trying to branch out? I had an older version of this.
There are better options than that, I would explore them. If you're in the market for a new laptop or something, the MicroSoft Surface works pretty well as a travel computer and can be used as drawing tablet.
What I meant by dissonance is that moving your hand a small amount can have a much larger effect. Your body is doing one thing -- drawing a small line. Your eyes see something else -- a long line is being drawn. You won't have that issue when you are using something like a Cintique. Or a tablet that closely matches the monitor you are working with. Whether or not this matters to you is preference based.
I'm going to echo /u/GanjaYogi and say to take a look at Huion tablets they are good quality and cheaper than Wacom. For example https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610PRO-Painting-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ will get you a much larger tablet for about the same price as the Wacom you were looking at.
First, we need a price point. If it is under 100 dollars, I would suggest the Huion H610. http://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00GIGGS6A
Amazing value, 10x6 inch working space, 2048 levels of pressure, and a decent build quality. Also, the Monoprice Tablet is a good alternative. You only have 1024 levels of pressure, but you still have 10x6 inches of working space.
If you have the money to spare, Get a Wacom Intuos 3 or Intuos 4. The decent ones, that aren't a hilariously tiny size are at least $150. If you don't have the cash, Get a Huion H610, or a Monoprice Tablet.
Im not Jazza, but Huion makes decent tablets without breaking the bank! Here is their most popular model. Its $76.99
This link is a pretty good run down on tablets, however the Bamboo is now the Intuos and the Intuos series is Intuos Pro.
tl;dr: If you're doing this as a hobby, think of getting a Bamboo/Intuos or if you're willing to splash money an Intuos 4/5/Intuos Pro.
You can get good deals on second-hand/refurbished Wacom tablets on eBay once you have a look around. I personally wouldn't get anything smaller than a Wacom medium-sized tablet simply because you don't have room to do nice, long strokes.
There are other brands such as Genius and Huion if you're looking to save a bit of money.
So heres the thing. The pen acts like a mouse in all respects to blender with the exception of pressure sensitivity and absolute positioning, as I'm sure you already know.
I am an avid pen tablet user, I've dabbled with blender, and I've been especially a linux user. Now that you know that, let me tell you my thoughts.
Pen input is okay with blender. You can use it as you expect, it takes some figuring out how to get it to work. (Or it did when I was trying to use it.) Getting into sculpting mode, and working with an object was not easy, nor did I find it particularly intuitive to do anything. In short, I gave up... So take my opinion with a grain of salt.
But I will note, that I found something else that works great in tandem with a pen tablet, a 3D Mouse. Personally I got the 3DConnexion Space Navigator http://www.3dconnexion.com/products/spacenavigator.html as something to play with. (You can find them on ebay for half of the retail price.) So throw away your USB Mouse, plug in the tablet, and get a 3D Mouse for moving your 3D objects.
Sadly, the wacom you chose doesn't have a mouse option. That makes me disappointed. I would've recommended looking for a Intuos4 http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos4-Medium-Pen-Tablet/dp/B001TUYTZW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413163434&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=intuos4
Either way, wacom works great on linux, it's normally built into the kernel so no additional software needed.
The biggest issue that may arise is what to do with the keyboard. For blender it is the most used tool, right next to the mouse. (Duh)... but it's an important part of blender. There is no answer to how to make space, find something comfortable for you, maybe invest in a good keyboard tray. Take into consideration your handedness when placing the tablet.
Just remember, the tablet for all intents and purposes replaces your mouse. Don't think it's a two handed use em both at the same time thing, which is why I recommended the 3D mouse. The biggest issue is switching from the pen to the keyboard, depending on your handedness.
Good luck.
I have one of those fancy drawing, digital pen tablet things. This one specifically.
I'm not getting any presents this year, but if you want to give something. Then i'd like something like this. But thats just selfish thinking of me expecting that 1. You'd wanna pay so much. and 2. That you're going to choose me over that Clean water well idea. But if you don't want to buy me a wacom, i'd also be happy with just a good book or something. I heard House of leaves is good.
Even if you dont pick me or something, I just want to say you are a great guy and props to you for this kind of christmas spirit. This song is for you.
You can get it brand new for $309 on Amazon.com and I don't have to worry about who used it previously.
People have said that the Bamboo is a good tablet and priced well at $59.99.
I personally use the Intuos 4 and I love it. I find the size of the tablet to be fine to work with and the size allows me to throw it in my bag along with my laptop.
IMO, don't even consider anything other than a Wacom. For your price point, get a Bamboo and if you feel you need something bigger/better, sell it and upgrade to an Intuos. I have had an Intuos 3 for several years and love it. The new version is very slick but I don't really have a need to upgrade.
In regards to your specific points:
Edit: One final consideration - Intuos comes with a mouse - If you are considering using the tablet as a complete mouse replacement (I use mine in addition to my mouse), I would stay away from the 'small' tablets.
Like this? It's black/grey.
I do have and use a tablet, but as my work shows, I'm a bit shaky with it. It's a Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet if you're wondering.
Go with the medium bamboo. It's an excellent starting platform to get acquainted with digital drawing. it'll def take some getting used to not seeing exactly what your drawing with your hands, but rather at a screen above. One thing I'm a 'fan' of is actually what it lacks. With "only" 512 levels of pressure sensitivity and no detection of the angle of the pen, you'll break yourself in and really learn how to manipulate photoshop etc for your artistic means. Then, as your progress and want to drop some real dough on a nice intuous tablet, you'll be amazed at home smooth it is.
tldr: It's a great option, and will pave the way for more expensive replacements later if you find you do truly enjoy it.
Oh, and drop an extra 15 dollars for both the updated model, as well as a larger drawing area, it's def worth it...
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I/ref=pd_ts_e_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics
I keep going back to the Wacom Tablet Pen.
sketching on a Tablet takes a lot of time to get use too, I mainly use it to outline.
You can take a photo or scan in your physical drawing / doodle and start to outline it really nice. The difference is that you need to make single sweeps to get the best type of lines.
wacom bamboo is on sale at amazon for $60
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I/ref=pd_cp_e_2_map
I can understand wanting a tablet. I have my own dreams.... Dreams that don't involve a trail of physical evidence, so what benefits you, will probably benefit me too since I'll at least know where to find one cheap. Well, cheap-ish.
Newegg
I've seen this, or a similar tablet by the same brand at my local staples for about 50 dollars. not sure if it's at all, but seems like a good starter.
I always look for things that have been rated, but that's me. Better to return something to a store, than to pay for shipping to return something. Still, these three look good

Looks like a [Boogie Board] ( http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-Writing-Tablet-Black/dp/B002ZE4TDI)
Wasn't it a boogie board? http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-Writing-Tablet-Black/dp/B002ZE4TDI?th=0
I like to use one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Boogie-Board-Writing-Tablet-Black/dp/B002ZE4TDI
It's easy and reusable and you can write anything on it. Also works as a replacement for scratch paper for math and the like.
As someone who obviously likes his tablets, have you seen the e-ink tablets designed for notes?
The boogie board is cool but I hear its just trash.
I have been waiting for them to release Noteslate for years now.
BUT, Sony is set to release their own device this year. It might actually be halfway decent.
Just stuff to look into!
have some karma for your fantastic advice... I normally do answer the phone the way you said (I don't give my name but the rest I do...) and I invested in a boogie board a year ago and it helps alot with trying to remember what they are saying etc. it's just the little things like remembering to knock something off as completed/paid/collected and remembering to call customers... I do try to leave notes around except my workstation is so cluttered with jobs and threads (and most annoyingly my boss has a habit of just sweeping the crap from his workstation onto my workstation. then criticizing my tidiness organisation :/)
I'll deffinately look for some kind of online secretarial course though. that may help 10-fold
By "all I wanted", do you mean all you care about is just note taking? How about the Boogie Board, Eee Note, or (hopefully soon) NoteSlate. Or, if you've got the money, a Wacom Cintiq tablet.
Or did you mean a standard tablet (e.g., Android) that is good at note taking?
Edit: added Cintiq
will do. as soon as I get back, i will take some pics. sorry about the current pic. wasnt really thinking.

Actually this is my first tablet but I feel like it works fairly well with photoshop and the pen feels smooth too. I'm a casual drawer so I just want a cheap tablet, turns out this is pretty good.
this is the tablet i'm talking about
its small and affordable. ive had it for two years and no trouble.
$80 brand new Wacom Bamboo, this is the maximum you should spend starting out.
You should buy him a drawing tablet. They are very cheap and who knows, it might be the beginning of his career as an illustrator.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1413462067&amp;sr=8-8&amp;keywords=wacom+tablet
You might be out of luck then. I've tried using apps like Duet which will allow you to connect an iPad as a display but I've had poor luck with getting Photoshop to display correctly on the iPad and you have to buy into their premium plan in order to use force/angle input.
Most of the time I either do the work I need to in a different app and then export to pull into PS, or I just use my trusty old Wacom Bamboo, which you can get for less than $60 these days.
I used Photoshop CS3 Extended several years ago on an okay $500 laptop from either walmart or sams. It was some type of Acer Aspire from around 2011. As I continued messing around with Photoshop, I ended up buying a Wacom graphics tablet (one of these). Elements is okay for use (I still use it because I was borrowing a copy of CS3 back on my laptop and can no longer get that copy back).
Not sure about the newest ones that wacom puts out, but that one I linked (probably not made anymore) comes with a version of Photoshop that can run on almost anything.
If you want to get a desktop just for photoshop, the used PC parts route is a pretty good way to go. I built a decent PC back in the beginning of 2013. Back then, it cost me around $700, though you have to realize that it was for gaming and that I had wanted it for several years, so I was fine with spending a bit more than what I originally planned (the old budget would have given me a terrible PC (for gaming)). Right now, you could probably buy the same parts for half the price. While many people don't really recommend older parts like I used (my processor was getting "old" (outdated) back then), I still use all but the cooling fan and graphics card. Also, to make the price seem a bit more reasonable, I had to buy a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in that price, too, which is something that can be bought for very cheap or old ones reused for free.
If you want to go a cheaper route that just works, get a ThinkPad off eBay. They're used, but getting something like a T410 works just fine.
I've heard people have even ran somewhat modern 3D games on that. They're tough, though have a "meh" monitor in them. The great thing about them, though, is that they're around $150 and from my experience, only require a $20 replacement battery to work well on the go (they come with their old batteries). I'd also recommend a new hard drive, which is an easy thing to install as long as you've set up a computer before (and if you aren't comfortable with doing so, a local computer store can probably do so cheaply (you should buy a hard drive on your own, though as they'll charge you for a higher price otherwise)). I'd also recommend buying a 1080p monitor from somewhere else after buying the laptop. Here's a list. You can sort by price. I'd say don't worry about IPS, just worry about it looking good. Mine is a 21.5" Acer-not sure what model.
It's a Wacom Capture that I got on sale for about 65 bucks. It's not nearly as fancy as some other ones out there, but I really like it so far. I'm not exactly sure what all it's optimized to be used with, but I don't see why not.

Cool, how much does the size matter? I saw the Wacom Bamboo create for about the same price but it seems larger (though is less sensitive from what I understand): http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Create-Tablet-CTH670/dp/B005HGBF9W/ref=lh_ni_t
I guess my question is, would it be worth cutting back on size for a more realistic feel of drawing? I might just spring for the medium sized one... I'm torn.
Hey there!
Glad to hear there is another potential animator/artist in the world :)
A lot of your question depends on your budget as tablets can get very expensive very quickly based on size and quality. For instance buying something that lets you draw directly on the screen is going to run you several hundred dollars for the lowest tier models (Wacom Cintiq's are currently considered the gold standard but their monitors and tablets start at over $1000 new so that is out of the question for most people and definitely not worth it for a beginner). So if she's just wanting to explore, a drawing app on a samsung galaxy tablet is a cheaper option that works great for beginners and allows them to work directly on screen. Plus is she loses interest you'll still have a tablet to use for other things.
However most people start with something like a Wacom Bamboo tablet. They are high quality, very responsive, and made by Wacom (the current industry leader) for a much more reasonable price. However you're drawing on a tablet placed on a desk while watching your work on a separate monitor and this can take some serious getting used to. Once you've got it figured out though they're great (they come in various sizes and are used by professionals throughout various industries)!
As for software consider these:
Art/Drawing - Sketchbook Pro
Animation - Anime Studio 10
keep in mind animation programs can be tough to learn so she'll definitely need to watch tutorials online. However this is an awesomely priced option with a lot of great features to make jumping-in easy
If she really catches the animation bug there are two books that are wonderful (although they are thick and may be better for when she is a little older? Up to you but they could make great future gifts):
Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams
and
The Illusion of Life by Ollie Johnson and Frank Thomas - Two of Disney's original master animators known as the Nine Old Men
Anyway that's a quick rundown of where equipment and resources stand. If I were you I'd probably go for the bamboo tablet and Sketchbook Pro to get started (for drawing) + Anime Studio 10 if animation is definitely something she wants to explore as all these items are an outstanding value for what they offer.
If things get super serious as she gets older prices begin to jump up very quickly (especially on the software side) but I believe the items listed above should suit her perfectly for at least through all her high school years. As she improves and explores you'll naturally learn what all the tools and options are on your own, as well as what her preferences are.
3D animation as a whole is a different beast that is very computer/technical heavy with a steeper learning curve. So if she wants to start trying that it becomes a whole different realm as you'll need a solid PC and a lot of time and patience when it comes to learning one of the various computer graphics programs out there.
Hope this helps at least a little! Good luck, and feel free to PM any time :)
Im with /u/n_reineke what good are dreams if you cant obtain them every now and then! and there is nothing better than Art! its relaxing, its something you can teach the kids how to do. and shit if you need the extra 5$ I will send you a Gift card lol It will be worth it trust me
My most recent comic was done on an iPad in procreate, but the one for the rest of the comics was thisTurcom from amazon that was like $50. I know like nothing about drawing tablets so idk if it’s a good one but it works.
Tablet peripherals are commonly used for osu! because it allows for natural movement of your cursor, and many beatmaps have patterns that are more difficult to perform with a mouse when compared to a tablet (e.g. shapes like squares or stars, some dubstep patterns, anything by Hollow Wings). It's not to say these things are impossible to perform on a mouse--they're absolutely possible, but the learning curve for using a tablet is significantly lower because of the natural cursor movement that comes with it.
There are guides for tablet purchasing on the osu!wiki and even here on /r/osugame, but these are somewhat out of date. Popular tablets include the Huion H420 and the Wacon CTL-480, though the latter is discontinued. Newer tablets that have come to attention include the Wacom Intuos Draw (or CTL-490) and the XP-Pen G430.
osu tablets are just huion tablets so if you want you could always buy a new pen. The rechargeable ones (the charge lasts like 6months+) are $20. The normal battery ones are around $12.
Copy/paste from a previous comment:
>Happened to my old pen too (stock Huion 420 pen). I ended up buying this wireless pen from Amazon and it solved all of my issues. This should solve yours if you have £20 to spare.
If I may, I would recommend this tablet. It was my first tablet and it is not only relatively cheap, but pretty good quality as well.
The Bamboo tab looks nice! You said it sets it's own sensitivity? That seems like a huge problem for me. What about this tablet?
This one is only $21 https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
Seems decent for the price
Can't remember where I saw $20 but here's a good one for $25. http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417659727&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=Huion
For any Americans/other places
If you are looking for a decent tablet under the 50s, you should just get the H420. It works both for osu and drawing, but isn't really recommended for drawing. If you can invest some more, you should get the [CTL480] (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-CTL480-Version/dp/B00EN27TCI) if you can.
I have a Huion 420, got it from Amazon for around 25. That particular model is low end but gets the job done for an amatuer photoshop user. If you decide on a tablet I would recommend getting a one with better pressure sensitivity than that one.
I own the Huion 420, which is just the tablet you linked minus the buttons on the side. I love it for osu, and it's actually what the official osu! tablet from the store used to be before they released the updated (and never in stock) new model. I can't compare it to any other tablet, but I've been nothing but happy with it in the past year and it's still going strong.
I would highly recommend the 420 or the H420 if you have a use for the side buttons (might be nice if you're into photoshop/art) if you're looking for a smaller-sized tablet.
As far as I know, not really. The pen/tablet can actually sense different levels of pressure, but the mouse only has 1.
If you switch to using a vector layer, it might be easier with a mouse. Also, remember there are less expensive tablets than Intuits.
My best advice is the HUION H420
Edit: I don't recommend the XP-Pen 430. It's about the same price, but noticeably laggier. The H420 is one of the ones I'd recommend even if you're not broke
Huion 420
$25, pretty solid tablet. Though the pen requires a battery
Here is the mobile version of your link
would you happen to be talking about this one?
Or you can get the medium-sized one, for almost the same price. Since the additional drawing space can make wonders to your art:-

Seems to be a nice sale on Wacom Intuos Pro Medium right now. This is considered top of the line tool for digital artists everywhere. You simply won't get anything better right now and it falls under your budget. If you miss the sale, look up the non-touch model, touch features are widely regarded as useless, might as well save some cash.
GIMP and Krita are free drawing programs held in very high regard. That should work nicely.
Something completely different. I use my PC extensively for photo editing and illustrating work, so I've gotten very used to using a Wacom Intuos Tablet even for gaming.
No need to apologize! I didn't know lingo or anything when I first started looking into this stuff either, and there's a lot of interchangeable terms.
So a 'drawing tablet' is usually going to refer to a separate drawing pad that you plug into a USB port on your computer like an Intuos.
If you're drawing directly on the screen, that's usually called a 'tablet monitor' or 'pen display' like a Cintiq. Those are much more expensive (I'm still saving up for mine), but they're frankly awesome. If you ever get a chance to try one out at a Microsoft or Apple store, go for it!
Hopefully that clears things up a bit. That said, for a starter drawing tablet I would say take a look at the Wacom Bamboo for an affordable, no no-bells-and-whistles experience so you can get used to using one. The first two weeks or so are pretty awkward, as you have to get used to associating what you see on your monitor with how your hand is moving on the tablet. Don't worry if things look super crappy at first, you will get better with practice.
Beginner tablet for $30: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet-Board/dp/B00TB0TTAC/
Photoshop CC in the cloud for $10/mo: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html
If you have a higher price range, consider checking your options with Wacom tablets, which have a great reputation for being durable, accurate, and perfect for beginners/intermediate designers: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ ($56)
Feel free to make a post anytime you need assistance involving any form of digital design.
In my experience, the tablets are only applicable for 2 classes, ENGE 1215 and 1216 (at least for a CS major like me). The engineering teachers I had didn't care if you didn't have one and allowed you to draw with your mouse/touchpad/touchscreen or submit on paper if you didn't have a tablet. If you do get a teacher that cares about the requirement, a USB tablet like this should do fine: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1496189928&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=bamboo+tablet
Perhaps a DataVac?(Note: It doesn't suck, it blows!)
Maybe a tool kit?
Wacom bamboo or similar?
Edit - Maybe something off Vat19?
I think it's this one.
Some things to note: it doesn't have an eraser. It has pressure control, but its not going to be as good as other tablets. It doesn't have any buttons on the tablet, which I know is an important feature of other tablets.
Seriously, this thing is bare bones, but it works and is probably the cheapest way to try out digital drawing/painting.
I've been watching a ton of Moderndayjames on Youtube. He's super good at teaching a lot of fundamentals, like constructive anatomy, texture shading, and perspective drawing. Highly recommend. He also does daily sketch streams.
I also recommend Sinixdesign. He uses Corelpainter instead of Photoshop, which emulates more traditional painting feels. (David Harrington, HotS artist, also uses this). And he uses a lot of interesting colours and techniques. He also teaches anatomy really well. He's probably a lot more freeform than Moderndayjames.

Here's a link to a fairly priced, nice drawing tablet. It's one I had for a while before I lost it. It's affordable, decent sized, the pen doesn't need charge, comes with spare pen nibs, has great pressure sensitivity, and is very responsive. Everything you want.
From what you said above, you need a graphics tablet which is portable and decent in quality. As a beginner in digital art and also a professional person in drawing, I think you can choose Huion H610Pro or 580. And I think H610Pro would be much better for you.
Active Area: 10'' x 6.25''
Pressure Sensitivity: 2048 levels
Resolution: 5080 lines per inch; Report Rate: 233 resolutions per second
Uses a battery free stylus, which is rechargeable, silmmer and lighter
A new version for the H610 model with a clean, edgy new look.
H610Pro can meet all your needs. By the way, "Pro" means professional. And it comes with a rechargeable pen which can be continous use for a long time after two-hour full charged.

Huion H610. My friend works for microsoft games and has a wacom and was surprised how nice the pressure sensitivity and smooth usage of the huion was for quite a bit less. Ive owned it 2 years and no issues.
is there any major drawback to the pro vs. the standard h610? I can snag a pro off prime for just as much as the one you linked on ebay.
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00GIGGS6A
Check out Frenden and his Wacom-alternative tablet reviews. I bought a Huion H610 and like it much more than my old Intuos 3, and for at least 1/2 the price. Here'a link to the new H610 Pro.
I am an ID student. Most colleges seem to have labs that support students in college. However, if you want to start early then I would recommend this is it's a good starter tablet. It's very cheap and works pretty well. I haven't used this model though as it's been awhile. Today I use a Surface Pro 4 for all my digital work but that's a big investment and I wouldn't recommend that for your sake. Technology evolves very fast.
Like a user here said before, sketching on paper translates pretty easily to computer assisted sketching. But if I could recommend programs I'd practice on SketchBook Pro. It's $30 a year and won't expire like an Adobe trial.
I can also recommend a few books for you and critique your work if you want. I tried to get a community like that going on this sub but it never came through. PM me if you want though like I said I'm only a student.
I own this Huion - https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610PRO-Painting-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B00GIGGS6A
It used to cost $50 when I first bought it. Still runs fine, only annoying part is the driver. For some reason whenever I want to use the drawing tablet I have to disconnect the USB plug from the pad and re-insert it. But that's only a one time deal every time I start to draw. Other than that no complaints :)
I use a Huion H610 Pro. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done!
These tablets are great and so much cheaper than the wacoms, which I personally think are mostly overpriced... I would highly recommend. I've had several wacoms and these are just as good if not better.
https://www.huiontablet.com/
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610PRO-Painting-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B00GIGGS6A
It would be more for digital painting I guess, we've talked about artists and she doesn't really have any she likes. She mostly just drew for herself and from her own inspiration but it's a good thought that I shall keep in mind in the future.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=pd_luc_rh_sbs_01_03_t_ttl_lh?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1
This is what I was thinking of getting, it's not a standard wacom tho so I'm not 100% sure in it
I don't have any experience with Monoprice tablets, but I do have a Huion 610. It runs well on Windows 7 using the drivers from their site without any hassle, so I don't believe being a cheaper alternative to Wacom tablets is necessarily the issue.
Wacom products are good, but I find they're overpriced for what you get. I'm currently rocking a Huion H610 ($76.99 on Amazon). My first tablet was a Wacom Bamboo that served me just fine (aside from the USB cable shorting out a couple times; customer service always replaced it for a small fee), but honestly I like the Huion better.
I'm not sure if it would work but http://amzn.com/B00GIGGS6A. Could be a really good gaming option for you.
Price depends a lot on what you want to do. If you want to be a 2d animator, or if your main goal is to draw 2d objects; an expensive drawing tablet is what you are going to need; (especially one that has a screen that you can look directly into). Most likely a Cintiq.
If you are looking into modeling, or making 3d objects, just get a Huion 420, (https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet-Board/dp/B00TB0TTAC/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536232462&sr=1-1&refinements=p_36%3A1253504011).
So, it depends on what you are planning to use the drawing tablet for.
Learning how to draw and animation at the same time might sound really tough, but as long as you start simple with animation it wont be too bad of an experience at all, you just need patience. Though learning how to animate came to me MUCH quicker than how to draw and got to the point where my inaccuracy in art was hindering my animation, so just practice drawing a bit, don't expect to make Disney quality art and animation because not only do they have many years under their belt, they also have a whole team.
Actually starting is the hardest part. One thing you need is an animation software. I personally like Adobe Animate, it is pretty easy to use and you can get really good results out of it if you use it right. It does cost quite a bit of money, though. There is a free program that came out not long ago called OpenToonz, it is arguably better than Animate though a little more confusing. There are other animation programs like Toon Boom but I've only really used the first two.
If you want, you can do animation with a mouse, almost all of Salad Fingers, a weird internet series, was. Though, I would save up for a drawing tablet, some thing like this. It will run you from 70 - 100 USD for a really good one but there are definitely cheaper once you can get for around $30. Just look around and find things in your price range and find one you like. I must note, drawing with a tablet is significantly different than with paper, it will take a bit of getting used to.
At this point pretty much the only thing to say is to learn the in and outs of the program you choose, if one seems too complex try another. Sadly, I can't find most of the videos I watched to get started, which kind of sucks. But this guy makes nice tutorials mainly for flash, though some can be applied to any program. There are two playlists I would REALLY recommend. Alan Becker's 12 Principles of Animation playlist and this one by Harry Partridge(specifically the first two episodes, which cover the basics.)
P.S. when they say "Flash", it is just an older version of Adobe Animate
I know that was a lot but again, starting animation is honestly the hardest part in my opinion, hopefully I didn't scare you off with my wall of text! I'm sure more people can give you a much better help over at /r/animation.
TL;DR
Programs you can use could be Flash, Open Toonz, Toon Boom or something else you find. Get a cheap drawing tablet to test the waters, if you like it try out some by Wacom, they make great tablets. Watch videos on YouTube, read up forums and ask questions!
I do hope this got you pointed in the right direction, I hope it didn't make things more confusing!
This one! Only $30, which is good because it's not that much of a commitment.
It does everything I need. I also got Paint Tool Sai for software.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TB0TTAC/ref=zg_bs_16034531_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=AXZYT4FY7P879S1NG44X
Practice, practice, practice. I've been there too - decent lines on pen and paper, been using mouse and keyboard nearly all my life and... couldn't draw for shit on my tablet.
Suck it up and push through, you'll get there. As for how long it'll take? Varies from person to person, how much mileage do you get each session and so on. Consider adjusting settings in the driver or your drawing application as the default settings might make things unnecessarily hard for you. Also one of these babies helped me out A LOT.
Something like this. I'm guessing he uses it to slide his hand easier on his mousepad.
I use these and I just cut the thumb and first two fingers off. Comes with 4 so if you accidentally lose one, you have more! I also saw this on Amazon if you want something a little fancier. Hope this helps!
So I have this weird two finger glove that I use with my Wacom tablet. One day I decided to try it with my Xbox controller and turns out it is super comfy and wicks away moisture. Looks goofy but would recommend.
"...if I want a good mobile drawing tablet..."
I'd argue it's much better than good, it's downright awesome. I use my 12.9" gen2 ipad pro for the same things you do. I've put my Cintiq away with it's paltry non-retina screen.
I have a drawing glove for gliding across the screen: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Artist-Glove-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00VTHAS00/
I got a silicon grip for the pencil + a little zipper pouch for it.
Otterbox Defender case -- it's bulky, but holy hell it's solid. Screen, back, edge protection. Hardshell case all around -- including a hardshell cover that turns into a 4-way stand.
My ebooks and comics have never been better to read. I have the 512gb model, and it's overkill. Exactly what I needed.
The tech item on my wishlist that I want the most is this Pro Graphic Drawing Tablet. I've been working on a comic book for the past 1-2 years. I have all of the characters, backgrounds, events, settings, and nearly everything in between written down and categorized. Now recently I have been sketching character designs, however I don't have the drawing tablet I need to actually draw the online comic. I can't afford it at the moment, since I'm your traditional "starving student".
I would really appreciate this so much. When I do draw my comic, I plan to post it on taptastic, a comic website that allows you to get paid based on views and subscribers. Hopefully the comic will help pay for school and living, but regardless I just really love creating this world. Thank you very much for this contest!
i got this one right here. It’s cheaper but really good and easy to use
$700 laptop
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ
$80 tablet
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Pro-Graphic-Carrying/dp/B00ZWRSQ4I
Thanks... I wasn’t about to drop $300 on a Wacom so I ordered a Huion from Amazon for $75. Reviews said it was good, I took a chance and like it, for Mac and PC. It doesn’t feel cheap and is fairly comfortable to draw on. It has pressure sensitivity but not tilt detection which doesn’t bother me. I have nothing bad to say about it. It can be a bit disorienting not looking where you draw, but if you realize you use a mouse the same way, it’s not as bad. The price alone is reason enough to get your feet wet... even if it does crap out in the future it could give the experience to warrant buying a Wacom for $300 or more.
Yeah, i do.
Heres a link if you're interested. Originally used the Wacom Bamboo but it just got too old to work
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Intuos-Draw-Tablet-White/dp/B013ATUR46
Eu estava a olhar para esta. Como não percebo muito do assunto, uma coisa que me deixa na duvida é quando falam que é bom para "begginers". Mas em que sentido? Pessoal que não trabalha com este tipo de mesas ou pessoal que não sabe desenhar? Esta por exemplo seria muito pequena para uma pessoa que tem muita experiência e qualidade a desenhar em papel?
Tieni d'occhio questa tavoletta
Come puoi vedere qui a inizio anno era tra i 55 e i 60, magari scende di nuovo
I neeeed this drawing tablet as I'm starting my art & design class soon and I'd like to start practicing at home!
However I also neeeeed this travel mug for when I work nights and my partner won't let me drink his coffee, he's a big meanie sometimes.
The most basic one is about £50
Less that an Surface, but not peanuts!
I bought the Wacom Intuos Small tablet as I was just wanting to get a feel of the transition, it works pretty well but I do wish I'd gone for a bigger size, however for the £60 it was worth it I think.
I picked up one of these, which I really like. It was cheap enough that I wouldn't feel like I wasted loads of cash if I didn't get on with it.
My next would probably be a Wacom Intuos Pro Small (or Medium). Personally, I don't want a tablet to be too massive.
my dude, get this one https://www.amazon.com/Ultrathin-Graphic-Digital-Drawing-pressure/dp/B01BA6XQI0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1527790750&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=xp+pen+g640&psc=1
Huion's products are solid if you can live without tilt detection. Much better bang for your buck than Wacom's, especially when you go to the higher end.
Also bear in mind that the Huion you linked is about credit-card sized, less than half the size of the Wacom you linked. Not exactly a good art tool. I own https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphic-Drawing-MicroSD-Express/dp/B01FTE9HS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483764446&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=huion+1060+new+plus and it's fantastic.
If about the size of A4, I highly recommend looking into their screenless 6x10'' inch or above options.
Beginner friendly option:
Slightly more "advanced" but also a great beginner option:
Intermediate and above option and the more pricier ones:
All in all, if you're absolutely overwhelmed by these options and just want "a tablet that can draw" without any bells and whistles, I recommend either the H950P, H610P V2 or H1060P. Though in the end, you should pick the tablet that you find suits your liking (either from the design or features) and budget the most. I believe all these tablets should work with Adobe programs as long as you turn the Windows Ink on?
Hope that helps!
Edit: Added links and better formatting.
I recently bought the Huion Inspiroy H640P for my sister's kids, partly because I wanted them to experience drawing/painting digitally (I set them up with Krita), but also because I wanted to test the tablet. I currently use a Wacom Intuos Art Medium, which serves me well enough (I've been using Wacom products for years). The Huion responded well and I found it to be a quality product. The fact that it was less than half the cost of my Wacom ($50 vs $150) made it all the more impressive. I haven't made the switch myself at this point (although I'll pick one up as a backup soon enough), but for anyone looking to go digital without making a huge investment, I highly recommend that Huion tablet. It's plenty big enough to work on and the drivers seem just as stable as Wacom's drivers.
Edit: if you want to see what I'm making with the Intuos (so, when I say the H640P is great quality, this is where I'm coming from): https://www.instagram.com/johningallsart/
Adobe has several subscription based packages for their software. I agree with the above comment, Photoshop would be a great place to start. Adobe has a "Creative Cloud Photography" subscription, which gives you Photoshop along with a few programs for photographers. The extra programs may not be helpful but I believe this is the cheapest plan that includes Photoshop, and could be a good place to start. Ultimately, learning a program like Adobe Illustrator to use along with Photoshop would be very helpful, but that will be a more expensive subscription. Best to learn the programs one at a time anyway, at least in my opinion.
Link for creative cloud students plans:
https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html
As for the computer, a Microsoft surface would be a great option, but there are also cheaper alternatives for starting out, like a USB pen tablet. These can be found on Amazon and even the cheaper ones work well.
My friend has this pen tablet and she loves it. Ultimately a tablet computer would be a better option, as it allows you to draw directly on the screen, but if you're just looking to help get him into working in the graphic design world, this would be a much cheaper entry-level option
Huion Inspiroy H640P Graphics... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075T6MTJX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I've heard Paint Tool SAI is a really good one. I personally use photoshop although it takes a lot of researching to be able to use it to its max potential but overall amazing

is the tablet i use! its nothing crazy but shes done me well hehe
Anyone uses pen tablet for photo retouching?
I'm starting to dig a little bit more into photoshop for stuff like dodge & burn, frequency separation etc... and using the mouse isn't really optimal. So I'd like to buy a pen tablet that I won't use for anything else than photo retouching. Is a cheap Wacom enough for that? Is there any point in going for bigger/more expensive tablets?
The laptop being slow will dictate on what programs he can use for art, not the tablet itself if that is what you are asking. Can you get the make and model of the computer? I will be able to tell you which ones that would work. What version of Windows is he running?
But for now, I can list off some free ones.
Mediabang: It's completely free. It is designed for comic artists, but honestly it work for any type of art project you are doing.
Fire Alpaca: Free. it's a very light art program, so I doubt there will be lag at all.
Krita: Free. It has more of a professional look. I say it looks like one of the newest Photoshop layouts.
I suggest getting this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_xTh-BbQZQ2C6G
It's cheap, good for beginners, and the Intuos line of Wacom tablets are very good. It comes with three different art programs, but I do believe they are trial only.
This isn't the exact one (I'm using and older version) but it should be pretty similar. And to be fair, it's not a bad tablet if you're just getting started, but crap relatively speaking to the one I just ordered.
I'm interested in moving over to tablet after almost a year of mouse play. I know on the FAQ it says that the osu!tablet, Huion H420, Wacom Bamboo CTL and Wacom Intuos Pen are the most common tablets to purchase for osu. I found the Wacom Intuos CTL4100 at 43% off and was wondering if this is the same as the Wacom Intuos Pen? Also, would I be able to edit the playing areas and such with this purchase?
Gaomon s620 is so good actually, I would recommend watching some reviews on it. In fact, there's a fork of hawku drivers for it too, super nice.
edit: for reference Ive used the shit huion garbage with the giant pen, and also the xp pen star g430s which is actually pretty good except for the slippery cheap pen, but the s620 is better than both of these.
&#x200B;
However, if you want to splurge and never have to buy a tablet again, https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Drawing-Software-Included-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-d2Fjb20%3D-ac_d_rm&keywords=wacom&pd_rd_i=B079HL9YSF&pd_rd_r=e1834c53-8ecf-4883-a7d4-31d9d3a5d34e&pd_rd_w=2oCEh&pd_rd_wg=ZmOs9&pf_rd_p=2938a786-9bec-4d37-8c06-456e3edce5d1&pf_rd_r=MHRG77RX13S6N7RCYZFA&psc=1&qid=1569736321 This wacom tablet is incredible. Pen is super light, rubber covers the majority of it so it wont slip at all, and you can get better drivers for it. But again, more expensive
&#x200B;
hope this helps
I’ve heard that pen tablets are excellent for fighting repetitive strain injury. They’re a bit pricey but CGP Grey swears by them for podcast and video editing. Depending on your screen size, Wacom has some decently priced options. Be sure to use it in 1:1 mode
Is this your first tablet? If so, a Wacom Intuos is always a great safe place to start for any artist. I've personally been using Wacom for years and have nothing but good things to say about them. They're sturdy tablets and if you have access to US Prime, their normally 80$ tablet is on sale for like 50$ right now and includes a license for CSP.

It is a wacom Bamboo so I was wondering if this is something good to get.

Or should I get this one as it comes with some free programs?

I just got the Huion H160PRO yesterday, and I absolutely love it! I've been a Wacom user for years, and had the privilege of using Intuos 5 tablets in high school, but this tablet really met my expectations. It's about the same size as the Intous line, and it was delivered in 3 days with free shipping through amazon.

If someone on this sub-reddit could confirm that this is/isn't the case, I would appreciate it!
I've had this in my Amazon cart for a while now but haven't bought it yet so take this with a grain of salt. I've read a ton of reviews and watched some on YouTube, it seems like a solid tablet for beginners. I don't hand draw a lot of stuff but the rare occasion I'd want to it seems like a good enough tablet.
Huion H610, the tablet I've been using for a over a year now, works just fine. buy that.

Hi! I'm somewhat in the same boat. My issue is that I have a tendency to quit things, so I don't want to buy anything too expensive and I'm looking at cheap alternatives. Currently I'm eyeing a Huion H420 because of how cheap it is, and figured I'd get something better as time goes on if I use it often enough. I'd say start with pad and paper, because I've had a drawing tablet before and your drawing skills from paper will definitely not be useless, so maybe start with that, then move on to a tablet once you're relearned your skills well enough? Or get a super cheap tablet and start from there!
Theres one on Amazon not sure if its whT ur looking for

Photoshop is DEFINITELY more in depth than Lightroom. Youtube is your best friend in this case. You can get a lot of valuable advice and skills from there. This post will be incredibly helpful for you in that regard.
Photoshop can be used with a touchscreen, but you should know that your laptop touchscreen and something like a drawing pad are not the same thing. You won't have pressure sensitive ability. You would want something like this to get that done.
Photoshop does not have a standalone product available as far as I can tell, but $10 a month for the most recent version of both Lightroom and Photoshop (it's the photography pack) is an incredible deal. That is available here.
If you have any other questions feel free to reply to me or PM me. Cheers!
I bought this bundle! It's been really fun. It seems to work good for me!
You can find them for cheap on Amazon. This one here is only $30. It’s a good one to get started on but it’s also small. But they do get pretty cheap.
It appears to be a dedicated digital art tablet, the UHD 16 one retailing at £1200...
Not sure what this is other than mobility over this thing or a £700 surface pro which is essentially also a tablet with a funky electric pen.
Then again by comparison that £100 pen is looking a little better when considering an iPad Pro + pen comes to £900, whilst the drawing pad is £1200, and is literally just a drawing pad.
Cool, if you're using Photoshop, you can pretty much find drivers that will work with it for any tablet. So you're better off looking at brands like Huion, Ugee and Monoprice. I've owned Monoprice tablets myself, they're cheap so I like to keep them around as backups. All tablets eventually fail. Even the $2k cintiqs.
This would be a great option for you at $30.

Alguno de ustedes que dibuje con tabletas graficas, me puede decir que tanto les parece que el tamaño importa? queria ir por esta que parece tener buenas specs para su precio pero me preocupa que sea dificil de usar por el tamaño. No le dare uso profesional, solo pienso usarla como un hobby
There really isn't much of a difference with a tablet with more pen pressure, larger screen or more buttons, it's purely what you are comfortable with, and assuming that this would be your first tablet, I suggest getting a small tablet without a screen.
yes, it takes some time to adjust to, but it's much cheaper and better to practice with and get to know what you're comfortable with before buying something expensive. if you REALLY want a screen, then I suggest HUION tablets as they are a cheaper counterpart of WACOM, and with little difference in quality, just make sure it is compatible with your drawing software.

honestly just chose tablets that popped up first + fits ur budget, the difference is really minimalistic and it shouldn't matter as a beginner since you're not adjusted to a certain way of drawing digitally yet.
Would this one be fine? 30 seems like a pretty good price https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TB0TTAC/ref=psdc_16034531_t1_B00DM24HNE
its not the pen i have only needed to replace the pen once because of a nib that got stuck inside, i still feel like i can work with this tablet for another year or so if i really work it into the ground, the tablet itself has warn down to the point where i sometimes avoid drawing unless i really want to, it was like $25, and for were its at now i can see it lasting another year or two, im just thinking ahead i think i found a good cheap replacement thats about the price of the one i have now https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet-Board/dp/B00TB0TTAC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=drawing+tablet&qid=1556578936&s=gateway&sr=8-3
A good place to start is with a tablet. You can get a small beginners version for roughly $30 on Amazon. Here’s the one I used for about a year, till it broke:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TB0TTAC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522771217&amp;sr=8-3&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=wacom+tablet&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51NLs66kOjL&amp;ref=plSrch
Next, you’ll need an art program for your computer. Clip studio paint is a great program at around $60, but it’s a bit overwhelming for beginners. There is a free alternative, fire alpaca that’s a bit easier to understand. I never used it starting out though, so I’m not sure how well it works. But it is free, so you’ve really got nothing to lose. Also, be wary that you do need a decent computer for higher end programs, such as photoshop. Any laptop could handle something like firealpaca, and can generally run clip studio paint, but it does have trouble in bigger, or more complex pieces. I have a relatively cheap office computer and rarely have any problems. You should be fine, but it is an important factor when deciding what program you want to use.
The biggest tip I can give you with digital art: it doesn’t matter how well you can draw traditionally, you WILL be terrible at first. You’ll have to reteach yourself how to draw. It’s a process that took me a bit under a year, but I’ve heard of people who could do it in a couple months. It’s a long and frustrating process, but very worth it. Focus on getting the motions of moving the pen across the tablet memorized. It seems dumb, but it is very different holding a stylus than holding a pencil or pen.
Hope this helps!
is the ipad pro + apple pencil any good for animation? i've been using the smallest huion tablet and have been intrigued by the ipad pro, but as far as i can see there isn't any good way to use it as a replacement for a graphics tablet, and the available animation apps on the App Store are very light weight and/or require a yearly subscription. i looked into astropad, but there are a lot of negative reviews saying the lag is unbearable. anybody have any thoughts or experience with this?
If you have experience maybe use Unity. If you’re inexperienced game maker studio or Godot work well. If you need easier block based coding scratch and/ or game salad work well for that.
Google drawings is great for creating basic vector based graphics, but if you need hand drawn assets you can get a drawing tablet for cheap at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TB0TTAC/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_b15HJT_c_x_1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&amp;pf_rd_r=XPCSCD2GXQH90D349H92&amp;pf_rd_r=XPCSCD2GXQH90D349H92&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=e9b44aed-c758-5ff1-8be7-1149daa0dbbe&amp;pf_rd_p=e9b44aed-c758-5ff1-8be7-1149daa0dbbe&amp;pf_rd_i=16034531
Remember to prototype to test core gameplay and keep motivated, don’t stray away from using premade assets, but always get permission. Feel free to message me to request assets (I can only do mice & keyboard stuff btw)
The game sounds really fun btw.😃
You can search "artist glove" and it will be gloves specifically made for tablet artists.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Artist-Glove-Drawing-Tablet/dp/B00VTHAS00
I've used this one daily for almost 2 years. There are zero bells and whistles, zero style, but I love it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VTHAS00/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3j.Dzb03BR7S9
Something like this?
Also this is another good thing to get. I call it my gay glove cause all my friends make fun of me for wearing it outside of the house on accident, but it eliminates friction between your hand and the tablet for those smooth brushstrokes.
two dollars over budget.
:( sorry.
seriously though, if youre in the market for a budget tablet, that might be your best bet. check out the frenden review here.
*edit - as for the making things easier... *shrugs I used to use a tablet. then i switched to a mouse when my tablet died (it was like 9 or 10 years old though). i used a mouse for a couple years. i just recently got a new wacom for my birthday and ive been using that exclusively for the last little bit.
TBH, i think it comes down to you. if youre doing alot of paint-based things.... like sculpting, joint-weighting, vertex mapping....that kinda stuff is definitely easier. everything else? meh. its totally a preference. I'm kinda indifferent to one or the other. but my mouse died so... now i use a tablet. my CTS/RSI ^^^*web ^^^md ^^^diagnosed acts up alot less though...which is a big bonus with the tablet at the moment.
(also if youve never used a tablet before, it'll take some getting used to at first)

The only reaosnably priced and sized options i can find on amazon. But I would really suggest getting a normal IPS monitor and a Wacom drawing tablet, which can be upgraded indepently and should make the drawing process way more natural feeling.
Assuming you can get a $100 monitor itll work out the same

This is the Wacom tablet I use. It's fairly cheap but still does the job for someone like me who is just getting into this whole digital art business. Art wise it really depends on what you want to do, if you're into pixel art at all there's a great application out there called pyxel edit you can get for $10 and there's youtube tutorials that tell you both how to use it and how to think about character creation in a 32x32 tile form. Other than that, Adobe is the standard for pretty much everything AFAIK https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610-Pro-Graphic-Carrying/dp/B00ZWRSQ4I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1498843868&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=huion+h610+pro&amp;psc=1
Huion makes a copycat that I know some people like. I have tried it, and found it laggy (with a then 4-year old macbook pro).
I suggest getting a starter tablet like one of the 2 I linked. Many people don't have issues with offbrand tablets but Wacom is seen as industry standard and is a bit expensive. So that is why the Huion seems to have more for the same price. So yeah, get a cheaper tablet and maybe pay for some software. Good luck!

I throw in a second vote for the Huion. I have the
[Huion h610 pro $75](Huion H610 Pro Graphic Drawing Tablet with Carrying Bag and Glove https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZWRSQ4I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5ktXzbN8XWCN2) (this is Amazon's price but I got it for $55 brand new on eBay 1 year ago) and honestly I think it's better than Wacom and only a fraction of the price. I've never owned a Wacom myself, but when I was comparing the capabilities of Wacoms within the same price range to Huion, it was clear which company had the better value.
The only thing wrong is the drivers for Windows. Don't use the driver that comes in the CD, download the latest one from their website and you're good.
Well, you'll likely find the graphics tablet route far more sensitive for doing what you've in mind. If you're truly planning on Game development, there's little reason to skimp unless you're just broke. Here's an option if you're looking to save cash. That said, it's totally possible to do this with a mouse, given enough patience and time.
Now, all things considered, what you'll find most helpful is practice. The problem with making maps is that you're never 'done.' You will always have room for improvement, so keep practicing. Setting realistic goals is the best way to get started, and then later you can expand so that you don't get overwhelmed too early on.
Honestly, I think tracing is a good way to get lost because you'll just copy the topical information and miss the purpose. Study climate guides and stare at real maps until your eyes bleed, because that's how you learn what shapes pass for real. You will never make a map with procedural generation that will top a map made by hand with experience and realism in mind.
What you're doing is fucking hard, man, but it can be done. I fully respect you because I don't think I could hack it.
Honestly, I don't know much about graphics tablets, but the Wacom Intuous Draw is currently £49.99 on Amazon UK.
That seems like a pretty old tablet, but you seem to use it well. I would say it's worth upgrading to one of the newer tablets but that depends on if you are willing to spend £50 on a new one.

We have a windows laptop and a digital camera and I ordered this for her https://www.amazon.com/Ultrathin-Graphic-Digital-Drawing-Pressure/dp/B01BA6XQI0/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_pm?keywords=drawing+tablet&pd_rd_i=B01BA6XQI0&pd_rd_r=d06674a6-6f5f-4652-a8e5-72a92ab99e5b&pd_rd_w=RfVpj&pd_rd_wg=tWU6E&pf_rd_p=5cc8abfe-8f78-4f34-b19f-d09d6ea0dca4&pf_rd_r=3CS964DHHH1JGPZEDXTW&qid=1557762329&s=gateway
I have no idea what kind of software to install that a 5 year old would be able to use (she can read very well and picks things up super fast so it needs to be simple, but she can figure tech things out fairly quickly).
She wants to make cartoons where you draw them like a flipbook I suppose (which is why I purchased the drawing tablet), or claymation type videos where she takes a series of photos.. she understands how animation works much better than I do, haha.
Anyway, where do I begin?? Please help :D
So something like this or this wouldn't be good?
I got the G430 because it was cheaper; the G540 offers a larger area as well as a smooth bevel to comfortably rest your wrist on, for about 10$ more.
Amazon.com links here: G430, G540
The Intuos is reasonably priced (70$, repackaged through Amazon prime). Can you give me some opinions on a few tablets? Is there a good size for the best usability, while still fitting in a backpack? Out of these few tablets, which one stands out as good/great, are any terrible?

I'm also looking for a new tablet after I found out the CTL490 is terrible for osu!. I'm currently looking at this and this. I don't like relying on batteries, even if battery pens last for months.
I have never owned a tablet before and I'm ready to purchase my first. However, I'm having a really hard time figuring out which one to purchase. I've read and watched videos that say Wacom only, but I've also read that some competitors offer decent tablets for less.
Basically, I would like something that will last but not break the bank (I know that' may be asking a lot). I plan on working in Maya/Zbrush & doing general sketches/digital painting so something that works for that. Right now I'm eyeing the Huion 1060 plus for the low end, and the Wacom Intuos Medium.
Edit: Or I can get the Pro version but small. According to Amazon it is larger?
Help? :/
By all means, if you can drop $500 on a tablet that suits you much better, then go for it.
It might be worth considering that you can get a 10 x 6.25 inch Huion 1060 for about $85 or the Q11K for $30 more (I don't know the difference). I haven't tried a Huion as I use the old model of the Wacom Intuos Pro Medium, but you needn't spend hundreds of dollars to access a medium sized surface any more :)
At this point, whatever choice you make is going to be a nice step up from what you have.
i made beautiful, smooth lines with my bamboo splash. sorry you weren't able to fix it. that tablet eventually died and I decided to try a Huion bc the pressure levels are the same, and it feels like the same thing but it has buttons. (and is cheaper than a wacom) this is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-1060-Plus-Graphic-Pressure/dp/B01FTE9HS2/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1537415043&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=huion&psc=1
My cousin gave me his tablet Huion 1060 PLUS but he lost the charge cabel for the pen.. Really frustrating.. Anyone know where I can buy a charger for the pen?
Here is the tablet on amazon.
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01FTE9HS2/ref=psdc_430217031_t1_B01HT0FREW
Glad you liked it! The program I use is Clip Studio Paint Pro, also I use a Huion Tablet, one of these https://www.amazon.com/Huion-1060-Plus-Graphic-Pressure/dp/B01FTE9HS2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520280967&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=huion+1060+plus
To the best of my knowledge, the Huion NEW 1060 plus is Huion's must updated tablet and the one that I have. It fixes some of the minor inconveniences that people had with previous models. I've had no problems with it since the couple months that I bought it.
What about this One? https://www.amazon.it/dp/B01FTE9HS2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fw.dBbPHRZ67C
It's not an English link but you should be able to get the model
Well there are bigger huions for the price of an intuos so i reccomend.
But if you have a little more you can buy a digitizer used for fairly cheap.
If you are strting out and you like art i recommend a digitizer.
But if you are not sure if you will like it you should get a regular tablet i hoped that helped here are sone links

Yeah seems like most people start out with wacom bamboo. I don't really like the way the new version looks and it just has 4 buttons so I'm thinking of getting this huion: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inspiroy-Graphics-Battery-free-Sensitivity/dp/B075T6MTJX/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1518559535&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=huion+tablet
You should, though it does take a little bit to get used to, the end result is awesome. I use the Huion Inspiroy: https://www.amazon.com/Inspiroy-H640P-Graphics-Battery-Free-Sensitivity/dp/B075T6MTJX It's fairly cheap with good quality.
ur like an awesome friend lol I personally use these 4 for all my stuff:
Huion Pro
Huion 640p
Wacom
my favorite (which happens to be the cheapest!!!) Huion H420 Kit
&#x200B;
Software I use: Krita, Photoshop (main), Corel Painter, Clip Art -- Corel seems to be really popular
Que dices de las huion?, en especial esta https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inspiroy-H640P-Battery-free-Sensitivity/dp/B075T6MTJX
It looks like Huion has a very similar stylus... any ideas whether this would work?
Thanks for the recommendation! I think I'll go with this though. Any reason not to that you know of?

I second a Wacom. I've had each of mine for ten years apiece before they would finally bite the dust. I don't use tablets for sculpting, though. There is a definite advantage because you can use pressure when sculpting, but my workflow goes a lot faster just using a mouse. Wacom Intuos is a good starter if you want to give it a shot. Or, if you don't mind refurbished, try searching around for something in the Wacom Bamboo series. They're built like bricks and can take a ton of abuse, so I wouldn't be too concerned about one not working properly.
This one right here is a nice one for beginners.
I use an older model that is no longer available. I use it like you said for brushes in photoshop or lightroom or for anything that requires very detailed work. The pen is in most cases superior to the mouse. Plus you can program the so-called express buttons on the tablet for each programs favourite shortcuts. That is a real time saver.
More expensive models are larger, wireless and have more express buttons. So it’s up to your own needs (and budget) which one you choose.
I recently misplaced my CTL-480 pen and was wondering the same thing. I do most of my drawing on an iPad but kept the small Bamboo for the odd bit of retouching. I'll either give Astropad a shot or for the same-ish price grab an XP tablet.
Edit: going by @digitizerstylus link, this this would work, but at $65 for a refurb, you're better off just getting a new Intuos Small.
You aren't going to save money doing this.
I really think you should just bite the bullet and buy a tablet to plug into your computer that is built for that purpose.
I know people like to draw on-screen, but it isn't that hard to get used to drawing on a blank drawing tablet like this one
I see. To be honest at this price point I would recommend a drawing tablet without screen. Something like this
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Small-Black-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=tabletunderbudget-20&amp;linkId=95e8eee51f358f4c13d4d900d0d6b3cc
This is what digital artist have been using for the longest time and often still use. There's a slight learning curve involved but it is much easier than you'd think.
Don't know about you but I've been using this product from Wacom for the past couple of months now on my artwork and stuff. Costed me close to $80. For a program rec. try Autodesk Sketchbook, recently they made it free for users like myself to work on fun projects :) https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Drawing-Software-Included-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B079HL9YSF&pd_rd_r=15f9b071-e7d7-11e8-b0b1-33fa73d4a09a&pd_rd_w=IY36s&pd_rd_wg=EwvbN&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=6AF5R3C71G3EXVGY2ZYY&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=6AF5R3C71G3EXVGY2ZYY
I bought the Wacom Intuos S (wireless) as my first drawing tablet. It was only 75€ I absolutely love this tablet and I highly recommendit to you! Altough I don't use it wirelessly anymore because I noticed some lag. While using it with the USB cable there is no lag at all. I haven't figured it out the reason behind it yet, but to be honest I'm also too lazy to fix it lol and the cable doesnt even bother me, it's never in the way. Also it's a "small" sized tablet but I find it more than enough for me.

I found a review for that tablet.... it does say that it needs the Bluetooth connector, but IMO, if you have to save up that much just for the connector for a tablet that might not work, it might be better just to save up for a better tablet either new or actually refurbished rather than hoping the one from Goodwill does work, as there are issues brought up in the video that would make me not want the Bluetooth version in the first place.
The Wacom One for example, would actually be cheaper than buying the connector for a tablet you might not be able to work still?

If you go up a bit more, the Wacom Intuos Graphics comes with good set of programs as well as the tablet, too.

Get a cheap Wacom tablet like this. I got one for my kids, best purchase ever.
What would you think is better a semi used intuos 3, or this https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Drawing-Software-Included-CTL4100/dp/B079HL9YSF
Well there’s a Wacom intuous tablet that’s about $80 (and this one comes with software apparently which is a bonus) . Wacom is a big company and even though they can have incredibly annoying glitches, I’ve been pretty impressed with the customer service on the whole. I had an issue with a charging jack on my last Wacom tablet and they repaired it free of charge as the issue was a manufacturing problem.
For a strict under 70 budget there’s also something called the Ugee . I have zero personal experience but I’ve read the name on a couple “top ten tablets for less $$$” lists.
Bit late on the reply here,
but I found out how to optimize my onenote set up after months of tinkering around
To answer the original question, there isn't actually a need for me to run Microsoft Surface Tablets (I looked up their cost, goes around $600 to $1000 as well) for Pro3
There's actually a 4th and a 5th option to all of this (I mentioned the other 3 in the post)
Option 4:
One desktop, 2 monitors, and a more effective mouse, with macro and fine tuning controls. You would be suprised what you can accomplish with a great gaming mouse (I just bought a logitech g502 for like $60). You can bind a specialized key that can change your DPI settings temporarily to get incredibly high tuned pen strokes on your mouse. There's also the option to change weights giving an even more closer pensmanship with a mouse. Plus I can modify massive numbers of macros (with this mouse, if I use all 3 profiles, I think I can map about 20 key combinations and G-shift [its like holding ALT to get more commands], although I wouldn't need that many)
I normally use the macros for ALT+1, ALT+2, ALT+3, ALT+4 for my quickaccess toolbar commands
Mouse i use:
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Proteus-Tunable-Customizable-910-004074/dp/B00IRHE892/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1419051767&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=g502
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 5:
One Desktop, 2 Monitors. Run a mouse, and a wacom tablet (essentially a 2nd mouse) see
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos4-Medium-Pen-Tablet/dp/B001TUYTZW
for reference
While I haven't done this yet, in theory it works. The wacom tablet is more or less a mouse in the form of a pen with comfortable tablet that just acts as a mouse pad. The wacom tablet enables you to have high precision pen strokes in a specific area if you want handwritten notes. The normal mouse you use just helps you navigate around onenote.
^I currently use option 4. Option 4 and 5 are all better than option 1,2,3 since it just runs on one desktop so there's no syncing errors. Option 4 satisfies all my needs. Plus surface pro runs a full copy of onenote and I only get 2 liscenses on my subscription (I have a home computer and work computer, so having a tablet - aka a 3rd liscense, would not work).
The addition of a tablet blows Photoshop wide open. Seriously, it opened up a whole new world of capabilities and things i could do that were never an option before. /u/vandebar is right in saying it won't make your drawing technique any better (in fact, I find the stylus/tablet interface a bit less forgiving than pencil and paper), but it will allow you to do things in PS that that were nearly or totally impossible with a mouse. I have an Intuos 4 (current generation is the Intuos Pro ); it's served me well for 3 years.
It's funny that you say that, because I have one of these, although I haven't used it for Rust yet.
Drawing tablets really aren't something to skimp on. You're going to get a postage stamp with 10 second delays which will make digital art a giant chore if you try and get the cheapest thing you can.
If you're just trying to practice art then spend $100 getting a kit of prismacolor colored pencils, quality drawing pencils, erasers, and sketchbook. You'll get all the same practice.
If you're doing this to make money and take commissions, you're going to want to just wait a while and save your money and drop $230 or so on a used Wacom Intuos.
I bought a Wacom Intuos4 (Medium) last week. There is a learning curve since you have to program the various buttons and transition to the tablet from your mouse and keyboard. However, once you have get a grasp of the basics, retouching work is a bit quicker.
Compare prices online and in stores. I'm not sure why, but Best Buy had this tablet on sale for $300 when I bought mine. The sale appears to be over.
Not trying to hijack the post, but I could use some advice as well.
I current have a Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet (a couple of years ago).
I about the Bamboo Pen Tablet because it was really cheap and I wasn't sure if I would actually use it. I actually use it a bit and was quite happy with it. However as I've worked with it more, I feel that it might be time to upgrade.
Currently the main issue with the tablet is that it's pretty small. As the table mimics the screen, it makes it harder to do more precise drawings. Other than that it's perfectly functional.
In any case, I want to upgrade to a better and definitely bigger tablet without spending too much money (I am a poor college student after all). I don't want to spend over $200. What are some tablets I should be looking out for?
Right now I'm thinking about Bamboo Create Pen. However, I'm not sure if it's a significant enough upgrade or if I should just be looking to spend even more money for a better value.
What do you guys think? Should I just stick with my Bamboo Pen until I actually can spend money?
Sorry if this was inappropriate. I just didn't want to spam this subreddit with another self post of a similar subject..
looks like he's using a wacom bamboo tablet. I have a larger wacom intuos tablet, but only use when photoshopping stuff. I'm not comfortable with it enough to replace my logitech mouse, but I've heard of people using pen tablets full time
Is this what you're looking for?
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-Bamboo-Pen-Tablet/dp/B002OOWC3I
Made with free programs and a trackpad
You don't need a graphics ablet to be a great digital artist. Sure, they're nice (oh so very nice), but they're not necessary for creating amazing works of art.
I'll agree with mylifeisaLIEEE down below:
> This is just a shit ton of arrows copy-pasted into a row.
If you're going to get angry about your work being stolen, you need to put some effort into the work.
Also, where in the world does a bamboo tablet cost $600? I got an Intuos 4s for $120, and bamboos are even cheaper
Wacom Bamboo. About $50.

I am using a tablet (wacom bamboo. I haven't really been too good with line weight so I generally just remove that feature, although I have started practicing with it more, also I'm using Photoshop cs6, could u recommend a brush for this kind of art?
Thank you!! I use Photoshop CS6, and this Wacom tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2
I use a wacom bamboo tablet
Can't find it on the official site, but I think it's similar to an intuous pro though.
I've got a Bamboo Capture drawing tablet. I stream through my page at http://www.livestream.com/NeonGreenTiger (I think. I'll check when I get home from work). You'll need to create an account to watch, but it's free and fairly painless :). I think I'll give it a go tonight as I work on adding the lineart to a rough sketch that I have. If you like, i can message you when I start :). I'm working on learning the program and how to use it, my tablet and just working at getting better at drawing :)

CTH470 is what im am using now, it's my first tablet and i just started drawing. I know the feeling, you just want to get a tablet, suddenly you hear wacom every where you go. It's probably the right thing to do.
Are they?

I second this, first drawing tablet I ever got was a Wacom Bamboo Capture I have it in a box right next to me since I have upgraded to an Intuos pad but the Capture was fantastic. It is only a smudge over your top dollar but since you won't need to upgrade it for a very long time, and with Prime shipping I would say go for it.
A few years back I got the Bamboo which is about 6 in tall and 8 in wide.
I feel it's a too small for dual 1920x1200 monitors. That may be because Bamboos are less accurate than Intous, but I'd still recommend the Pro. Below the Pro line and there is no bezel to rest your hand on so the far right (if right handed) edges of your screen can be a pain.
The Bamboo was inaccurate enough that I gave up on the tablet experience but if I were to attempt again I'd go much futher into the deep end with a Intous Pro Medium
FYI if you really want I'm happy to sell you my old Bamboo for cheap. It's just collecting dust... I know you want it especially after I just shit talked it.
Also, while I haven't used one personally I've heard Monoprice has good tablets. And they're a lot cheaper.

The Wacom Bamboo is actually about $80. It's not that far off.
Also, I couldn't find the Toman as a currency. Do you mean Rials? https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=80+dollars+to+tomans&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;safe=active#safe=active&amp;rls=en&amp;q=80+USD+to+IRR&amp;spell=1
Wacom Bamboo. They're like 50$, great quality, and super easy to use. My mother and sister both have one, and I use an Intous4.
This is the model I am recommending. It looks like its been discontinued, so if you are looking for a new tablet, you might have to spend closer to $125. Either way, its a good product, and I have never had problems with Wacom hardware.

Thank you, I appreciate that. It's been rough for him as he used to have a lot of hobbies like woodworking, model airplanes, etc. and not he can't do them.
That looks interesting, appears it's gone up in price as Amazon has it for $174. A good starting point, thank you!
Edit: Scratch that, I guess I was looking at an older model. Looks like it's still about $80 https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2
Edit 2: There's also a newer model, if anyone else it looking for this sort of thign: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Wireless-Software-Included-CTL4100WLK0/dp/B079J2FSQ7/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
Should I go with the older model? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HGBEZ2/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687622&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=B00EQW6M2S&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=0JJ5HXRRNNA4W4R78B22
Or the newest? http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Medium-Tablet-CTH680/dp/B00EN27UC2/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
If you have used them both, would you say it's worth the extra cash?

Wacom is a great company, even the lower end one's will do what you need. The one I use.
I'm still learning. I hope to someday be able to afford a drawing tablet like this. I'm sure I could improve the quality when I get it. I started with a pencil sketch and then went over it with a marker and crayons.
Tablet wise there's Monoprice if you're willing to put up with driver struggles and questionable quality (but when it works, it works like a dream). But for just slightly more money you can get a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch, which I would recommend over Monoprice. If you can find a Bamboo Fun that someone is willing to part with, that one is pretty good and hardy. Mine has been through a lot and the assembly on the eraser end was frankensteined onto the pen end, but it still works!
Software-wise, there's firealpaca, gimp, and krita. All of these are free.
You're walking into a Chinese restuarant asking if they serve Italian food.
I think you're looking for /r/DigitalPainting as they're more apt in drawing with tools like Photoshop. /r/LearningPhotoShop is all about cropping/feathring/filters and just more of learning how to use photoshop for basic photo manipulation.
You'll want to start by learning how to draw with a tablet that reads pressure sensitivity. I'd recommend a (relatively) cheap one such as the Wacom-Bamboo which is what I use for 3D Sculpting in Blender and have tried dabbling in digital art within photoshop sometimes but prefer 3D Modeling more than drawing. I'd recommend the website https://www.ctrlpaint.com/ to learn more.
There's no one way to do something like this: there's a multitude of ways in a multitude of different programs. Though it seems this one is Digitally Painted based on the neatness of the lines and the brush strokes apparent in the walkway tiles the person is standing on. As an For another piece of art, Steve Argyle, created Monastery Swiftspear using both 3D Modeling and 2D Painting by creating the base of the art in a 3D modeling program, adn then painting directly over it in a drawing program.
Thank you!
I'm looking at this
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1368592311&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Wacom+Bamboo+pen+and+touch
There are three different styles, "Capture", "Create" and "Splash"
The Splash is the cheapest, but from the description, it does not seem like it is made for "animation" necessarily. Is this the case?
I'm not a computer artist. I like traditional mediums but am slowly being swayed to join in tablet drawing. I say this because you should take my opinions with a grain of salt. However, I've been hearing good things about Wacom's Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet. It carries the Wacom name that people love (and a year warranty), customizable shortcut buttons, its stylus has an eraser on the top, and multitouch gestures that will let you flip, turn, or whatever while working. It's supposed to be a little to sensitive with the pen sometimes, but that's really the only drawback I hear.
It's $69 from Amazon.
Maybe someone else can pop in and give their views on this, but as a know-nothing about CG art, this is the one I have my eye on. Good luck!
I got this one...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HGBEZ2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1535523722&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=B002OOWC3I&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=0ST9RF5EV225KP3TCEMJ
Because of the price, but for the price...It is a really nice drawing tablet. I plan to upgrade at some point, but until then this does the job. I have done a few digital paintings and many line illustrations on it...so it can do those things well. If you're on a tight budget...I would say go for this.
I have little drawing ability and do okay if I do say so myself. By using 3Ds Max and registering as a student, home schooled, I get top end software legally and free. I also use a Wacom table thing"
This is the tablet I'm using. It is kind of like a digital piece of paper that works like a mouse. I was using Corel Painter, but you could use photoshop or any other kind of image making program.
It is not like an iPad, which I suppose they also call tablets. This is an older technology.
Use this Bamboo, and I love it. It's pretty cheap, but does most everything I want it to.
Check with your school's IT office or such, most schools will have drawing tablets for you to check out. My school has ~10 Wacoms for rent.
Photoshop and Illustrator will be your main two. I've found learning InDesign to be a great help though on some projects. Learn SketchUp too!
Thank you!
I have a Wacom Bamboo Create, except with a different pen than in that picture. It took a while to find the best place to put it on my desk, and it took even longer getting used to the movement between the pen and the screen, but now it's pretty comfortable to use for almost anything except games. Sometimes I feel like the wire is a nuisance but I don't want to spend the money on batteries to make it wireless.
How are you learning digital sketches now without a wacom?
It appears they don't.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HGBF9W/ref=ox_ya_os_product
This crops up pretty frequently.
Your options boil down to free, cheap, and expensive.
Your free option is Gimp, which I can't stand but other people like. The interface isn't made for normal humans with normal human brains but it works just fine, and it does everything photoshop does.
Your cheap option is paintshop pro, which is what I use. It's easy, and does most of the things photoshop does.
Your expensive option is photoshop. Photoshop does everything, and isn't too bad to use, but costs roughly four million dollars and a pint of your blood. monthly.
If you're going to commit to drawing your maps on the computer machine, you should think about getting a reasonably priced drawing tablet. I use a wacom bamboo tablet, and it works very well. I used a mouse for a long time, and I didn't think a tablet would make that much of a difference, but it does.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9" without special offers(ads), the drawing tablet, and Cards Against Humanity.
This is the version of a drawing tablet that I use
https://www.amazon.com/Turcom-TS-6610-Computer-Sensitive-Resolution/dp/B00A40GPM8
It's a bit cheaper than the lower models of Wacom tablets and a bit bigger I think. So far it works really well for me. The pen also uses a battery but I havent had to change it in over a year and I think it adds a nice weight to the stylus.
I'd suggest this tablet as a first tablet to someone if they don't want to completely go all out for a wacom tablet because it does work pretty well and has a larger drawing area than some of the smaller stuff.
Spend the extra $4 and get yourself that Turcom. Is this even a question? You are a hardworking mommy, a hardworking mommy that deserves to treat herself every once in awhile. You need to rejoice on your day of birth and celebrate YOU and YOUR being on this planet for another round of 365 days. The kids get you 364 days, let this one day be about you only <3
You need this and yes I know it is over the 50 dollar limit but since I am not entering because no one is allowed to gift me right now - So I want you to splurge that extra 5 dollars just for yourself - Don't argue with me.
Anyways you are a new mom - you need this so you can doodle when you have a moment to yourself. DO IT!
Ah, that's a bit outside what I'm comfortable with paying for right now. There's a Turcom tablet that looks identical to that, though... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A40GPM8
I bought a Turcom 6610 a couple years ago. I got that over the wacom because it had a larger surface and was cheaper than the wacom bamboo. I ended up never using it though because it just wasn't that good.
Recently though I've been getting wrist/shoulder pains so I decided to give tablets another shot. This time I decided to go with a wacom tablet because I've heard that they're superior to other brands. I picked up the Intuos Art two weeks ago and so far I'm pretty happy with it.
As far as I know, the only difference between the Intuos Draw, Art, and Comic tablets is the software packages they come with. I was a little disappointed with the Corel Painter 5 Essentials that mine came with but maybe I just haven't used it enough yet. Either way, the point is, is that if you already have something like photoshop then I suggest just getting the cheapest of the three which is the Draw.
I think I should probably emphasize that I probably only know a little more than you do. This is a pretty good video on the subject that might help you with your decision. Good luck :)
https://www.amazon.com/Turcom-TS-6610-Computer-Sensitive-Resolution/dp/B00A40GPM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495659762&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;keywords=turcom+drawing+tablet&amp;psc=1
Turcom is a reliable off brand tablet. Around $50 tablets, function well, decent pressure sensitivity for non wacom. They just have battery powered stylus pens. Which is not my personal preference. As she gets more experienced she could always upgrade.
Check out the third party versions such as this but of course smaller ones if you're looking to save some money. I can see some people using tablets to write, but isn't it a bit much to lug around with you?

It says on the checkout that it will arrive within 3 days.
Probably not. You won't get a good feel for actual drawing and there isn't really a good drawing app for an iPhone.
Just buy a decent cheap drawing tablet (like this one for only 30 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/HUION-H420-Graphics-Drawing-Signature/dp/B00DM24HNE ) and use free software like Krita.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DM24HNE/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
Newer model
Or this for $30
You can buy better pen to ur huion
EDIT: Its this if i remember correct. https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Rechargeable-Digitizer-Wireless-Christmas/dp/B00DOW6TUQ/ref=pd_sim_147_1/182-0671310-5592505?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=314-IKjK-LL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&amp;refRID=ZRJ6PA8FCXZHPF10Z552
Yes, this one
I like it and yes is thinner and lighter. But its almost the price of a XP-Pen G430 too :P. You decide if its worth.
I just bought it because the original pen broke in the spiral thing that seals the battery and it seems like it would do it again on any AAAbattery pen (design flaw).

Unless you feel like moving your arm a lot, then I wouldn't recommend playing with the whole tablet area anyways, since it's specifically for osu. I personally only use a quarter of the total area of my 420. I also find little to no latency from tablet to computer as well.
On the flipside, the 420's pen is rather uncomfortable and impractical. There's this one on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Rechargeable-Digitizer-Wireless-Christmas/dp/B00DOW6TUQ/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=0GE2RFT55BKPC1YRTG9H though I have yet to try it out. Another downside of this tablet is that you have little room to rest your hand on relative to other, larger tablets, though depending on your playstyle that may not even matter.
Overall, the tablet is a solid tablet that gets the job done for osu!, and it's only $20. If you have any intentions of drawing, then I'd dish out the extra money and go for a CTL-480, but just for osu I'd go for the Huion 420.
get this. you save more money because rechargeable
http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Rechargeable-Digitizer-Wireless-Christmas/dp/B00DOW6TUQ/ref=pd_cp_pc_3
You can try this , tho i dont know if you wanna pay the price of the tablet again just for a pen
No, that's just another battery pen I think. You can buy a separate pen entirely that's a different shape and has a rechargeable battery, unless I'm mistaken about the osu pen
Here http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Rechargeable-Digitizer-Wireless-Christmas/dp/B00DOW6TUQ
I mention it because the weight may be distributed more evenly
Here is the mobile version of your link
here you go man its on amazon for 25 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
Not even top. A lot of the median osu players use them. There are even tablets marketed as being for osu. (That one has had special osu edition releases before.)
thanks. I was wondering if this one is a good one
$5 cheaper than the one with buttons on amazon.

The 420 and H420 are actually two seperate products. I'd reccomend just the standard 420 since its 5 bucks cheaper and all you really need. Apparenly Osu's been a big part of their sales enough to deserve a logo on the regular tablet's box.
Hello everyone! First I want to say thanks for having such a great community. I hope one day I can become good enough to contribute valuable advice here!
Reference image: Here, but I made it more purple and pinkish to match some blood oranges I have in real life.
Software: Krita
Tool: Tablet
Recently, I decided to stop by Gamestop to see what used games they had available. I saw something called "Art Academy" for $4.99 for the original DS.
I've always wanted to become an artist but at school, I was never taught in a way that was effective to me. They just put some objects in front of me and said "Draw this." When I didn't draw them well, they just gave me an A for effort and moved on. So before this game, I really didn't actually know much about art, though I had been exposed to it a bit.
ANYWAY, I am finding this game to be a shockingly effective tool. I'm only on lesson 5 and decided to apply what I've learned to my own painting and share it.
I know there are probably millions of glaring mistakes in this painting and ultimately, I just need to study and practice a lot more. But I thought I'd share and I'm certainly interested in any tweaks you can think of.
The biggest thing I struggled with was making it look juicy like a real orange. I've been trying for over 6 hours to add the bright highlights and sections but it always looks extremely wrong. I've tried tinting them so they're not pure white, I've tried making them thick and thin, and nothing works. I decided it's better to give up for now and work on studying more.
Thanks so much!

…And we’re off! Thank you again to all of our beta testers and supporters for making this game a reality. We are forever grateful.
To all newcomers experiencing The Painter’s Playground for the first time – WELCOME! We hope you enjoy your stay here in Painter’s Port. The community so far has been wonderful in every way possible. Bob and I will be quite active in addressing any issues, questions, comments, or concerns through the Steam forum.
Alright, now onto our two launch contests!
DLC KEY CONTEST
Create a LetsPlay video of The Painter’s Playground, and post it here on the Steam video tab in the community hub. It can be anything you want, as long as it’s at least 5 minutes long. Ideas for videos could include a tutorial, tips and tricks, or just you doodling. Once you’ve posted the video, either friend me on here (you can unfriend after I give you the key, if you would like, no worries), or email the evidence to Dorkoski at ohio.edu.
HUION DRAWING TABLET CONTEST
I will buy and send this Huion Tablet to the first player who reaches Artist Level 50. This contest will require some serious work – you’ve been warned haha :D
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG/ref=sr_1_14?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1516049982&amp;sr=1-14&amp;keywords=wacom+tablet
The only caveat is that I have to be able to ship it to you through Amazon. If by some reason I cannot (or the shipping is insane), I'll send you $20.00 USD through a Steam Gift Card instead.
Now we said we weren't going to do save wipes - and we aren't. BUT if you plan on going for level 50, we ask that you in-good-faith delete your current artist and start over to be fair to newcomers. Thank you!
Post your level 50 screen shot here on Steam and also email the link to Dorkoski at ohio.edu. We get an email when someone reaches level 50, but this will nudge me.
Thank you all for reading. Happy Painting!

if its your first time, then preferably, the huion h420 or huion 420 is a good choice,
its portable and has a good price for how decent/good the tablet is

Alright boys, like our OP here, I'm thinking of getting a tablet too, but I've been struggling with what to get. I've heard that the Huion 420 is pretty good for it's price, but I really like the sound of something like the Wacom CTL-480 , I'm totally fine to spend the extra money for it, thoughts??
This is a good tablet if you don't want to pay too much for one.
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493529083&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=huion+h420
You can get a cheap starter tablet here: http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG
I’ve been eyeing the $20 (or less) Huion 4x2 fablet. It’s tiny but might be fun. I usually draw on an iPad Pro though so there’s no real need for me to get a tablet
But still, it might be fun. Anyways check it out here: Huion 4 x 2.23 Inches OSU Tablet Graphics Drawing Pen Tablet - 420 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTPYWBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QDhQDbDQSXXH2
It’s all you “need” to get started in tablet drawing and if you think it’s something that you enjoy and want to continue with, then you can get a better tablet
You know you can change the size of the active area on almost every tablet, right?
If this is your first time buying a tablet and it's just for osu!, I would suggest starting with the Huion 420. It's the same tablet as the osu!tablet, just without the fancy color scheme. I used it for almost a year without any problems before switching to a Wacom. for the bigger area. I think the tablet you mentioned in the OP is the one that Rafis uses.
I think for her actual needs she would be better with a tablet, do you think Huion is the best option?
If it is, which one of these 3 would you take?
Tablet 2
Tablet 4
Tablet 6
Seriously, you don't know how much I owe you, guys!! ^^
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Inches-Tablet-Graphics-Drawing/dp/B00DTPYWBG probably a good alternative
i want a tablet, Huion 420 im looking at, and i want to know the drawbacks of this tablet, and tablet in general, any help?
Huion420
I personally use a Huion 420: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DTPYWBG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've been using one since draw my thing back in the day.
It isn't a "good" tablet in any way, but its cheap and works well enough and fun to play with :P
If you are just looking for fun, this works.
If you are looking to become a good artist, look at Wacom :)
Huh? If you've been active in osu! for a while there is a tablet out there designed for it. Sucks that the site store is out of stock so they don't have the nice one with the osu! logo.
But this one from Amazon is perfect for it. Can't give oppionions as I'm a m +KB player haha.
It's 25$ give it a try
HB Pencil and a drawing diary with a vinyl eraser. I do both traditional and digital media.
For the more serious work, I use 300lb hotpress watercolor paper for color work and Herculene over illustration board for marker, ink, and guache. The ink floats nicely on the surface and the polyester can take a lot of abuse.
For the digital bits, I use Illustrator 10 and Painter X for color and work on a 9x12 Wacom that's older than Moses. Illustrator 10 has a few color options that disappeared in later versions and the feature was a cornerstone to my workflow. (Being able to have persistent transparency assigned to spot color without having to adjust settings for each shape). The upside is the software is no longer supported, it doesn't need authentication and compared to the current crop of Adobe's software, it's incredibly lean. Runs great in Win 7.
At home I run Painter and a light little program I picked up off Steam called Art Rage 4 (it's +/- $20).
The tablet I had was replaced this past Christmas with an Intuos Pro Medium and I taped a piece of scrap herculene over it to get a better tactile response.
I use an old copy of Photoshop CS4 for spot process separations and color adjustments.

Ninja edit: check out /r/sketchdaily and participate.
I would suggest a 1080p ISP monitor and a good digital drawing tablet.
Monitor: Acer H236HLbid
Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro
This is the one I have, and it's served me well for three years, though it's beginning to fritz out now, which is to be expected from a technology you use nearly every day for those three years. I've loved it while I've had it though, and am seriously considering getting another.
The model I have is the large one because I tend to use sweeping strokes, but I have friends who use smaller sizes who don't have any trouble.
My friend has this. Barely used and trying to sell it
You've definitely wandered beyond the 'beginner' stages of digital art, and are clearly pretty damn serious about it. That said, a thousand dollar investment is a lot, for something whose purpose is strictly for art. It'd make perfect sense if you were using it to generate an income in some way. Of course, that's all my personal opinion.
This is the one I was mentioning as an alternative: Intuos Pro Medium. I was working in a small game studio until just under a year ago, and all of the artists (texture artists and concept artists) were using a comparable model (I think at the time it was intuos 4 or 5). It's solid, and I use it myself. At $300 it might be a somewhat less significant investment.
Of course, it is still just another tablet.
Hands down, the Wacom Intuos Pro. Try and find a used one on Craigslist or Ebay.
I figured at this point it might help to just send a picture for scale. http://imgur.com/a/cfTea
You can see my current laptop, a 17" Sager. Next to it is my chromebook. Below that are my backpack which almost fits the Sager and the laptop bag that I adjusted to hold it (fits holds laptop, mouse, power brick, external drive, mouse, and tablet).
The two mice are a Zowie EC2-A and a Logitech M510. If you aren't an fps nut the cheap logitech is great and the wireless dongle fits in the mouse for transport, or can be left in the usb slot with a low profile. To the right of those are one of my external hard drives, wallet, and glasses case. The TV is 22 inches and not pictured is my wacom intuos pro medium tablet which fits perfectly on top of the Sager when I travel.
So here's what I've learned. 17 inch bags are pretty much limited to satchel style bags. Even my 15.4in bag is freaking huge on my back and I could fit all of the books I needed each day + 13 inch macbook pro in there comfortably. The 17in pc's were too much trouble to carry to/from classes, but the mbp was easy and the chromebook is so small/light I keep thinking I've lost it.
Despite being a pain, I would typically switch homes every few days and having a 17in laptop was pretty nice. I'd usually throw clothes + headset in my backpack and carry two bags wherever I was going. While cumbersome, I didn't mind carry the big laptops for lan parties or visiting friends for a night. It was mostly the school environment (switch classes, waiting around, lack of outlets, crowded table) where it got in the way.
Yeah I saw your video about that. I'll see if I can reproduce that issue after work today and report back.
One thing worth pointing out is the older pen I'm using may not actually be a "Pro Pen". It's the one that came with this version of the Intuos Pro Medium, and I'm not 100% sure what that pen actually is called. I've found something on Amazon being called the Pro Pen and it has silver trim on it that my older pen doesn't have. The rest of the specs seem the same though.
Never seriously drawn before, but I sculpted in high school! :P Oh, I also do photoshop moderately well with a mouse. Drawing on paper is irritating since when I make a mistake my reflex is to hit ctrl z. That's what I like about the tablet concept.
Also there's money burning in my pockets. Don't wanna hear your sensible advice of getting the $70 version. What I wanna know is should I get [this thing, the old model, the tried and true model;] (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY) or should I do the the new kid on the block? I've heard there are some bugs but I like to be on the cutting edge. I also like to use functional things too.
I suggest starting with what you have already. Download Krita, it's free. Give it a try. Lower the pixel density, set the canvas size to something your computer can handle. (smaller requires less resources)
If you cannot run Krita at all. Try paint.NET, GIMP, or any other light weight, free art program. Get a feel for digital art first, because you will need to spend money if you really want to get in to it.
I don't know what you mean by drawing tablet with a screen. Usually when someone says "drawing tablet" in the digital art world, they are referring to something like this. But these drawing tablets are never cheap, and a good one with a screen is going to cost a pretty penny.
I think you're trying to ask about something like an iPad??? I don't know what specs are like on iPads. With digital art programs, you generally need to have a powerful processor. I do all my work (even working with blender), with an integrated graphics card(crappy GPU), but I have a powerful processor. What kind of technology you need completely depends on what you want to do exactly. If you're only interested in making images to display online, then you probably don't need anything too fancy, an iPad might be okay to start with, but as an artist grows, so do their needs. If you're interested in printing, you'll need something that can handle 300dpi at whatever sizes you'd like to work with.
If you decide YES, you really are into digital art! Then think about building your own computer. If this is something you're comfortable with, it would be the best route to take in my opinion.
Wacom Intuos Pro M and Photoshop CC. I have a graphic design background (hobby wise).
Totally unnecessary and probably way harder to learn the art fundamentals but yeah - that is the way i draw/learn.
Most online retailers sell them, you could get stupidly overpriced ones over at the apple store or order a reasonably priced one off Amazon. Id say hold off on buying an adapter till you know exactly what you will need.
tablet wise....hmmmm.... if you add about 27 more bucks to what your looking to spend you could get https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EN27SHY/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=all This guy. If you cant afford the medium they do have a small option https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Touch-Tablet-PTH451/dp/B00EN27ULS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505363765&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Wacom+Intuos+Pro+Pen+and+Touch+Tablet%2C+small that is 219$. These will just be drawing tablets and do not double as a screen that you can draw on
Like the guy above said, I like to lean more towards Mac but I work on both.
With that budget, I'd look at something along the lines of the ZenBook:
http://store.asus.com/us/item/201608AM250000471
and use the extra cash on a Wacom tablet:
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1478266146&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=wacom
That should be more than enough to allow you freedom of both design and concept art.
You aren't going to find a high gaming performance laptop that is convertible. Hell, most of them aren't even compatible with the digitizer pen. You'd be much better off customizing a [MSI GT60 Dominator](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&amp;products_id=6955&amp;affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank) and then getting a Wacom Tablet to plug into it.
I've had a surface Pro3 for a long time. It seems like there's a lot of free drawing apps that are really nice to practice with like sketchable or bamboo paper. I really liked using the stylist, and since I'm a beginner, I don't care much for how much more accurate the pro4 stylus is.
However, I am glad I got insurance on it, because I once dropped it on a tiled floor and the corner of the screen cracked! It was horrible and shortly after I got it too. After that I bought a case for it and haven't had an issue since. I also don't carry it around as much and keep it closed when I do (I had it open and was trying to show my husband something). Lesson LEARNED!
If you're not sure about a surface pro because of the pricing, I'd consider a wacom tablet. There are some smaller versions for $60 and they usually come with drawing software. It might be great for her to get a feel of using a drawing stylus and you don't have to spend so much money. If she needs a computer for schoolwork though, I'd consider getting a surface.
https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474907657&amp;sr=8-7&amp;keywords=wacom
The biggest issue with using these cheaper wacom tablets is that you draw on the tablet, but it shows up on a computer screen. This can be difficult for some people who need to see their "pen" make the marks they are making. Pros and cons to each.
OK, are you talking the Bamboo such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-CTL471-Tablet-Black/dp/B00EVOXM3S/ref=pd_day0_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=C3ZZ7NH3B8WV2S0B1B35
Or the Bamboo Stylus like this (the Feel is the one I selected here): https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Microsoft-Surface-tablets-technology/dp/B00BVUR07Y
You didn't say stylus, so I thought you meant the tablet version.
I have used the Bamboo for the Galaxy Note, and I was not impressed with the crossover technology. Personally, it felt to me laggy, and awkward compared to the feel of the Wacom to Wacom technology. Not realizing you were focusing on just the stylus I was assuming the tablet, but I must say I have not tried on a Surface, and my problems may have stemmed from my phone's issues, not the pen's. With the Surface being more robust, you might not have the same issues, but I have nothing to compare to.
The tablet isn't shown clearly in the video, but I think it's a Wacom Cintiq. Those start at around €700, so you'd probably want to start with a Bamboo instead.
But /u/fluffynubkin is right, you should learn to draw on paper first.

you want this one if you're buying it from amazon.
or get an xp pen g430
https://www.amazon.ca/Ultrathin-Graphic-Digital-Drawing-pressure/dp/B01BA7D6YI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1523063339&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=xp+pen+g430
The 490 is shit, to all the people using the 490 and saying there is no input lag, have you used any other tablet? if you have recently, then you would be able to tell that there is input lag. The input lag is somewhat hard to notice, but if you have used any other tablet then you could tell.
Return the 490 while you still can, it will only hold you back in the future.
The CTL471 is a great tablet, its on amazon for 78$ right now, it is a little more than the 490, but its alot better, it has almost no input lag.

It should say the capabilities on the items. I am not too familiar with them but their bamboo tablets are a good starting point

There may be others to help. It depends on what she wants to do with it I'm sure. The linked above was what I was going to get years ago, and it was the best bang for buck.
I'm also in Canada, and Indigo Canada was selling backlogged CTL-480's last summer (I bought mine June 2017), and my friend and I were lucky to snag two of them for $40CAD. I have no clue if they are still selling them as they were all out of stock the next month.
471 is more widely available ($112CAD here), you could also try a XP-Pen G430 / G640 (I was on the G430 before I got my CTL480).
I have a Huion H610 graphics tablet, it is a very responsive piece of kit, gorgeous for drawing on. I'd definitely recommend going for a graphics tablet for drawing rather than a normal tablet that you can do other stuff on.
The Huion is only about £70 and definitely gives the comparable Wacom a run for it's money.
Hey man, frankly I only know of Wacom and Genius tablets. So I researched Huion just now. Interesting. This one's from Amazon:
Q: What are the differences between the Huion h610 and the Huion h610 pro? Thanks.
A: Regarding your inquiry, the differences between the H610 and H610 Pro are as follows: 1. Different stylus. H610 Pro uses a battery free stylus, which is a recharge one with latest Huion design while the H610 uses a stylus that needs one AAA battery. The recharge stylus has a better sense and responses better to the tablet. 2. Different surface texture. The H610 Pro has a slippery-proof texture of the tablet surface so you will feel more comfortable like drawing on a real paper when you use it. The old H610 doesn't have that. 3. Different resolution. The resolution of the H610 Pro is 5080 lines per inch, and the H610 is 4000 LPI. 4. Different reporting rate. The report rate of the H610 Pro is 233 resolutions per second while the H610's is 220 RPS. 5. Different box. The whole original packaging box of H610 Pro is different from the H610, which looks more modern. 6. Different driver. The new driver for the H610 Pro is confirmed to be compatible with windows 8.1 and mac osx 10.9. Thank you for your kind attention!

I have an Intuos 4 at work and just bought a Huion H610 Pro at home. Can't tell a huge difference but I don't use it every day. I'm very happy with my purchase and saved a bundle.
https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610PRO-Painting-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1467923417&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=huion+h610+pro
I would second the h60.
It has a decent sized drawing area and for under $100 it's great for a beginner.

Something like that might be better for your budget. Personally, the Huion I used worked great on photoshop, toonboom and a few other programs I use, but I disliked the pen nib travel. Otherwise great products. I had their cintiq type of product.
Otherwise intuos pro are like $300 vs $100-$200 for the comic/art versions.
I really would say save up to get the pro version or I don't think you will get much more out of it than what you have.
My decades old bamboo fun tablet has more functionality than the new intuos line. Without built in controls/buttons I just can't recommend them.
It would be $100+ spent just to need replaced.
Hell, I'm buying a cintiq this month, I'd send my bamboo tablet to you if you pay $25+shipping.

Huion H610Pro is a decent cheap tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-H610PRO-Painting-Drawing-Graphics/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1483383963&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=huion+pro
I have used mine for a few years, and performs like a several-hundred dollar Wacom.
Huion 610 pro been using it for almost 2 years now never had a problem. Has charging pen and a pretty good hover distance. If you do end up getting it use the CD drivers not the newest ones online since with the CD drivers you are able to set area portions easier. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Huion-H610-Pro-Graphics-Compatible/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485897338&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Huion+tablet
These are great! I do a lot of character drawing (especially rpg themed) myself. I really like the variety of characters you've presented. I hope you post more soon!

Here's a whole list of free art programs out there.
Try them out and see which one works best for you.
As for 'track pad' (IDK what that is) but if you meant 'tablet' go for Wacom Intuos (formerly Wacom Bamboo), great starter tablets. There's also Huion if you want something much cheaper than that, and they work just as fine.
>don't understand all of what's important regarding stats
This one is kind of tricky as there's no right or wrong answer to this one, it's entirely subjective. I personally use a tablet that's 10"x6" which feels comfortable to me, but I know people who use massive ones twice the size as mine, and some who use ones smaller than mine, it's all about what's comfortable to the artist using them.
Every tablet will list their "Pressure levels", this is just the level of sensitivity that the pen is capable of achieving. In general the higher the number the better.
For reference the tablet I use everyday for work is quite old at this point and has either 2048 or 4000-ish (It's been a while since I bought it, I honestly can't remember =P.) levels of pressure, whereas most modern tablets will have 8000+.
This is basically the tablets "Resolution". Same deal as pressure levels, the higher the better.
When it comes to monitors and thus monitor tablets as well, IPS monitors are generally better for art related things as they offer a better colour range, but because of this they're also more expensive than something like TFT monitors. There's tablet monitors out there that use all types of monitors in them, and while I would personally suggest one that uses an IPS monitor in it if possible, it's usually not a noticeable issue unless you have something like a TFT and IPS monitor side by side.
One thing they do vary on quite a bit is their viewing angles. IPS has much better viewing angles whereas other types of monitors tend to "Colour shift" when viewing them from anything other than straight on.
Note: "Colour shifting" is when as you look at the screen at more and more of an angle the colour starts to drain away and in some cases when viewed at extreme angles will actually look like a negative image.
Some other things to keep in mind:
If you're looking for a solid and inexpensive tablet, I would personally reccomend the Huion h610 pro, I've been using ths non-pro version (Which has since been discountinued apparently.) for the past 4 years now everyday for work and have no major complaints about it other than the drivers were a little finicky when I first set it up.
If you're wondering what the differences between my non-pro version and the pro version are, the pro version has slightly better specs and a textured surface. My dislike for textured tablets was why I went with the non-pro version at the time.
If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll help as best I can.
> I dont know if we can justify paying over $50 for one.
Draw tablets easily exceed that price. That being said, I paid $75 for my Huion, which is the spitting image of this one.
I feel like they are inflating the level of sensitivity and that it's the same model. At this price point, you can expect the draw pad to stop tracking mid-stroke, and for the pressure to scale dramatically as it guesses the appropriate level of pressure.
With drawing tablets, you very much get what you pay for.

Well it's certainly worth while if you spend countless hours on it over a few years. The thing is thought you're not very experienced in digital art yet so it's hard to say if a purchase that large will pay itself off. You could use it for a few months and decide either the cintiq or digital isn't for you. I would recommend the Huion H610 Pro since it's so cheap. This tablet has the exact same specs as the intuos pro. Then if you really like digital buying a cintiq might be an easier decision since you'll have some experience in digital. You could even check out a cintiq alternative, just know that installing drivers can be difficult with them. I believe all the brands that make much cheaper cintiq alternatives are Bosto, Yiynova, Monoprice and Huion. Many complain that the cintiq's screen is dark and super thick creating a feeling of parallax. If you do go with a cintiq alternative make sure the screen resolution supports 1920x1080. The Yiynova I have has a res of 1440x900 and since you're so close to the screen it's insanely easy to see pixelation. Other then that I have 0 complaints with it after I got the drivers installed.
> I can code the entire thing but it's going to look awful. I have spent hours trying to get better and I just don't have that gift.
You need more experience. I was the same when I started my indie development "career"; can code in my sleep, but can't draw for shit.
Keep at it and you'll get better if you really want to. Also, get a drawing tablet. You can't "draw" anything other than pixel art with a mouse.
...and unfortunately I'm busy with my own projects at the moment so I can't help out. Wish you luck though! It's always refreshing to see that there are other game developers at FIU!
EDIT: woops, this is /r/Miami not /r/FIU. Well, maybe you do go to FIU :P
This one is good for the price too.
Real life! AWESOME.
Tablet's are actually pretty affordable if you don't get a Cintiq or a Wacom. I've got this one. I've only used it a few times so far but it's pretty nice. Can't beat that price for that size either.
Have you considered picking up a second hand monitor? The extra real estate might be handy to have.
Check out the Huion H610. Bamboo tablets are great, but you are paying a bit of a premium just for the brand. I got the Huion for my wife and she's been very happy with it.
It's this one
Huion H610PRO Painting Drawing Pen Graphics Tablet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIGGS6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_vsYxybB57WAEZ
I'm no expert, but I just got my first drawing tablet, so I'll recommend the one I have. I've got a Huion h610 Pro. Personally, I like it. Works well with Photoshop Elements 10. The pressure sensitivity works pretty well. It works better with my desktop than laptop, though I think that's just me installing the driver wrong. It's normally a $150 tablet, but it's on sale on amazon right now. I'd check compatible programs before committing, though, to see if it'll be good enough for you.
Is this what a boogie board is ?
If you wan't to try tablet, this is pretty much the same as the osu tablet.
For the mouse, i like heavy palm grip mice, so i went for a roccat kone+.
A friend of mine who use claw grip has this mouse that he really likes. It's quite fancy though.
I guess it's just personal preference but when I first switched from mouse to mouse+keyboard it took some time to get used to then i got a tablet and it felt amazing,it went so smooth,a mouse sometimes slips away,tablet doesn't on top of that with a mouse you have to move a whole brick,with tablet its only a stick.I think mouse players can be exactly as good or better than tablet players but for me tablet is easier,for those of you who are considering buying a tablet:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Huion-Signature-Digital-Wireless-Capture-black/dp/B00DM24HNE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1415459320&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=H420
it really doesn't cost that much and it's the official tablet without the skin.I love it
yes.
I got an intuos pro. there's a bunch of buttons on the side to increase workflow. one of those button turns it from pen-reactive to touch reactive. and that's fun. http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Medium-Tablet-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY Jus got my first tablet around the begining of the year, so I'm not that fast with it, but I've been able to make some work that I otherwise would not have been able to push without the ability to draw.
dunno if you just have stacks of cash, but the interactive monitors are probably quite pricey for what they actually offer.
Well, at around $50 you have this one. It looks good to me, I've heard good things about the brand, but I haven't used it personally.
&#x200B;
A big factor is size, I'd say it's big enough for the price.
Not sure about Linux compatibility though.
My wife is a self-taught artist and I can say she's good at it. She's been using her reliable wacom bamboo for more than 3 yrs now and it finally gave up. I want to gift her a new graphics tablet but we're also taking care of her father's medical bills (he has diabetes) and she wouldn't let me buy it.

Hi! First i want to say thank you!
I'm a Venezuela based artist, living here is hard since there is an economic crisis. Anyway, I have a friend, his father died two days ago, and he is kind of suicidal. I would like to buy him a graphic drawing tablet because he is a good artist too, and I can afford living in this country with my current job, i just want to help him raising money, since he will need it from now on.

No need to pay the shipment to Venezuela, you can send them to miami and i can pay the shipment from miami to Venezuela since it would be more expensive for you.
