Tablets

Draenin · #1 01-15-2007, 05:05 PM

Hey. Does anyone know of a tablet that's particularly good for drawing? Please don't bother with recommending ones that run around $300-500, because I really don't have the money for that at the moment. I've been looking for stuff by Wacom, but a lot of it is pricy. In particular, I'd like to find a wireless pen of some sort rather than a tablet, because I honestly don't care much for my drawings to be influenced by how much pressure I put on the tablet. The Intuos2 tablets are nice, but too expensive for my blood, and again, have pressure levels.

So, can anyone recommend anything? (Also, if it's a flat tablet, please let me know the lpi for it.)

I just so happen to have a Wacom Graphire3 (Graphite) for sale, $80CAD.

I need to know some of the specs for it, such as the drawing area and lpi, if you don't mind. I just might buy that from you, but know beforehand that it'd be $68.37 in the U.S.

This one is 4"x5" with uhhh... dunno what LPI - but I know it has 500 levels of sensitivity.

512 levels of sensitivity. PM me a link to the model with specs included if you can find it.

Anyway, another thing I still want to know is whether or not there are drawing pens out yet that need no tablet included. I've seen pens being sold by themselves, but I'm pretty sure they're just replacements. It would completely rock if they made some pens that functioned in the same way mice do, but with wireless options like bluetooth.
