Drawing Tablet - Graphic Shop

Ithian · 08-28-2008, 04:22 AM

Hey I know a few people here use them so I was just wondering if people could give me a run down on how to use them, what's the pros/cons, a good make/model/brand to look at, etc.

Thanks :]

how to use them

1. Take the pen or stylus in your hand.
2. Touch the tip of the pen or stylus to the tablet (note: it is best to touch the pressure-sensetive part of the tablet, applying the tip to the edge of said tablet has been known to produce a lack of results).
3. Apply pressure.
4. Go crazy.

I was looking at this one, looks nice enough. Any thoughts? http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/9781...een-desig.html

Its 115 euros, just took the english version of that site so that you'll understand it

i would suggest u not to buy this one. Trust is like the discount-things for graphic-tablets. its like jaytec for turntables lol.
i really would suggest u a wacom. u get a good product for a good price. dont u have friends who own a tablet? cuz trying out is also elementary maybe go to a shop near u where they have a tablet. another important thing is: get to now what workspace u have on the tablet!!! they try to rape u often with this one. for example some tablet says the size is like that: 200mm 180mm and 1,2mm
but the actual area you can work on is 112mm 96mm

omg actually i looked at the tablet and it really looks nice! way to go imo lol

Brand doesn't matter that much if you don't have the skills to use it's full potential.

Thanks manic :] But seriously i meant more of.. what programs do you use, can edit the drawings on the computer, can you slide down the page/image on the drawing tablet, etc.
