DStruct Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Any advice on a solid, entry-level graphics tablet? I do all of my redraw work with Illustrator and Inkscape, to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsclassic Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well I'm not near your level of graphics skill, but I have worked with Photoshop, and the 3D editor LIghtwave back when I was a post production tech with Indiana University. I used an older style light tablet back then. For me, I did much better with a good quality digital mouse. If I had a lot of freehand work to do I would just do it on paper and then scan it in. I know some people really like the tablets, but I would suggest you find someone with one and give it a real try before you spend a lot of money on one.

faralos Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 hell if I had the money I'd get one even just for use with vp working for hours with a mouse trying to build in vp leaves my hand all cramped up and in pain a tablet with a pen may well help in that aspect at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider chinzman93 Posted June 21, 2013 Content Provider Share Posted June 21, 2013 get a wacom, dont look at anything else. http://www.wacom.com/products/pen-tablets i use a 21" cintiq model http://www.wacom.com/products/pen-displays/cintiq That Cintiq looks pretty sick. I just picked up a lightly used Wacom Fun tablet (Medium) on our local craigslist for basically beer money and I am really happy with it. It was a snap to install and surprisingly, my version of Serif DrawPlus recognized it without any dicking around. On my last 2 redraws I started running into somethings that were a real PITA to do with only a mouse. I am still getting used to the feel of how the pen moves over the tablet, but a little bit of paper taped over it helped and now I don't use that either.

DStruct Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I've been solely using a mouse for everything to this point, and I was constantly saying "this could be much easier for me with a tablet." I think a Wacom is in my future.
