Drawing Tablet

xxCloudxx · #1 07-16-2004, 07:57 PM

Hello!
Im not sure if this thread fits in here but anyway.
I was wondering if i should buy a drawing tablet?
Not an expensive one thought, just wondering if they are any good.
And if any of you have art that is drawed with the drawing tablet i would appreciate if you posted it

Blah, I really want one myself >_>
I would suggest don't buying a cheap one, you know the 4x5's. I would save up and get a nice one, because it's worth it.

Hmm i was thinking differently lol, if i don't like it, it won't be a big deal since it was a bit cheap, the one im thinking of costs about 93$ with a drawing software.

I was going to acquire the school's art room one, a wacom that was, 6x5 (is that right? 6x4?) But I forgot to make a quick stop in the art room before I graduated *shrug*

er me and donald got a true touch 3d one mine was $64.00 (shipping included) on the buy it now function on ebay. Sofar it has not helped me with graal gfx but it is handy for drawing concept art. I am still getting used to it but I would say it was worth every cent.

Here is one of the things I have drawn with it:

Ok.. I know nothing about gfx, so what the heck is a Drawing Tablet ?

Its like a board that you use a 'pen' to draw on and it transfer onto the computer. I've never actually seen one in person or used one, but I'm pretty sure that's the basic jist of it.

buy a cheap one, see how you like it, take it back. buy an expensive one, see how you like it, decide what you want to do. this is how i usually operate on somethings you can return

Hmm so it's kinda made for drawings...... can you use this tablet in all kind of programs? And is the pen functional as a mouse? The one i bought (i get it tomorrow i think) got a tablet, a mouse and a pen and it comes a software with it to.

Monkeyboy_McGee · #14 07-23-2004, 03:40 PM

Yeah, but i couldn't stand using it as a mouse. can you imagine playing an FPS game with your gfx tablet? *****, i might try that actually, sounds funny...
