Drawing Tablet

[amp]

What is a good yet cheap digital tablet? I don't exactly know what they are called but I know that people use them to make their drawings without a scanner.

So I looked at aiptek and Wacom tablets... the Aiptek are affordable but I don't know what I need. :red:

[mlk]

This has been talked about zillions of time - do a search - I have a wacom and am very happy with it...

nice cheap tablet would be Graphire 2 wacom tablet.

edit that, Version 3 is out !

hope this helps

peace

might have to grab a v3 ....that photo frame cover is the bomb. And they made it a lil bigger

[.soulty]

[mdipi]

i do like the looks of v3 tho

[nobody]

Ohh v3! all i have is the v2.. time to invest some more money which i dont have!

Ive had a cheaper wacom for a couple of years but no matter how much I use it I can never quite get comfortable with the feel of drawing on plastic with plastic.

Does anyone know of a more realitic type tablet? Or better yet has anyone ever heard of some type of wireless or usb light pen? If something like that existed and you could draw directly on your desks surface I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

move up to the wacom Cintiq or intuous.

*whistles

I honestly didnt know tablets like that existed. Been neglecting the drawing skills for far to long I guess.

That Cintiq 18sx looks spectacular! Im definately gonna do a little more research on that. Thanks DDD.

there was a huge thread involoving some wacom talk awhile back, if you do a search for "5 minute break" you'll find it. There was a lot of discussion about the Wacom Graphire 2/3
