Digital Drawing tablet

[RussianBeer]

As I respect alot of artists (or so called artists like me) I would like to know what Drawing pallet do most of you prefer?
Even though I never used one before , I need a O.K. one... so i can get something out of it (I hated drawing with a mouse since day 1) But I don't need anything too pro. (For PC)

- Is there a price range to stick too?
- Is there certain companies to check?
- Any other programs I should have, or is good to have
with them?

- And what you use, prefer, and critic...
Thanks Forum...

A lot of the forum members here use a Wacom which is about $100 U.S.

I've tried it out once at the stores and it seems pretty good. There are other brands as well, but Wacom seems to be the popular one. =)

EDIT: oops, I meant Wacom, thanks for correcting me eilsoe. :beam:

I think EG means the "WACOM"... :P


and yeah, I hear the name "Wacom Graphire 2" an awful lot here...

I've just persuaded my employer to buy me a Wacom Graphire 2. :)

So far I've found it to be excellent. It cost about £65, and comes with tablet, pen and cordless mouse.
