Hey drawfags, I'm going to buy a tablet
the small ones are fine to draw or should I save money to buy a big one?

>> No.8242256

Big ones are great but small ones work.

Also, this is not the art board.

>> No.8242259

I bought a small tablet and regret it, I'd say go all the way and buy a large one otherwise you'll find drawing frustrating.

>> No.8242269

Would recommend a mid-sized Intuos. Very sturdy, so you could probably get a preowned one and expect it to last.
Tape some overhead film on the drawing surface and you'll save pen tips as well.

>> No.8242306

Intuos are too expensive

Buy a small one OP

>> No.8242313

I think /ic/ or /g/ would be a better place to ask this.

That said, I've heard good things about the Intuos as an "entry level" tablet. Just get a medium sized one.

Just buy that Bamboo Pen&Touch one, it's pretty good.

Do it if you like buying new pen nibs every second month.
Save up for a Cinteq.

The touch part is gimmicky and just uses proprietary software for gestures. My tips keep wearing out, too, but I guess I like the rougher surface. Makes it feel like paper.

>> No.8242353

>>8242330
It also behaves like paper, hence why the nibs are wearing out.
Shit sucks, but what can you do?

Size doesn't really matter? Bigger is convenient but getting a smaller tablet won't necessarily mean you'll draw like shit. All tablets take time to get used to.

>>8242259
You need to get used to your tablet, you aren't going to be drawing Noizi Izo shit just because you own one now.

>> No.8242379

Bigger helps a whole lot.
The closer the size of your tablet to the size of your screen, the better.
Try to maybe find something used id price is an issue? The older Wacoms are pretty sturdy, so it shouldn't be a problem.

>> No.8242412

look for tablets with 1024+ pressure

>> No.8242520

Get a cheap genius one. If you are still interested in that sort of thing then get a wacom.

I have the touch and it's useless in SAI, I could've bought a medium for the same price.

If you're not going pro and only drawing casually, just buy the Bamboo. Buying a more expensive tablet won't make your drawing better.

Buying an expensive one won't, but buying a bigger one actually can.
