Crapplejacks Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am looking into buying one of these beauts, but I have no clue where to start! I was wondering if I could get a few helpful tips from my fellow forumers to see what tablets are best, and what they use. All comments are highly appreciated!

Bekuno Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You don't need anything super big and fancy. A small cheap tablet goes a long way.I own a Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Small Tablet which is $80 on AmazonBut they can range between $60 to $300 or even $1000, find what fits your budget and see what features it comes with if your interested in that. Bamboo tablets are also pretty popular. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37329-art-tablets/#findComment-497789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapplejacks Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks. When you say "Bamboo tablet", are you saying the tablet is literally made with bamboo, or is it a fancy art term?

Bekuno Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Bamboo is just sort of a name, like Intuos. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37329-art-tablets/#findComment-497810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum124 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Mine's a monoprice tablet that I picked up for 50 bucks, it does the job and is a decent brand if you want cheap, but I would recommend a bamboo tablet if you want dependable and long lasting, but they are more expensive. Really just shop around, I do gotta say that the bamboo tablet I had the nibs would wear out REALLY REALLY QUICKLY, so I had to order more all the time, but I havent had to replace the nib on my current one yet, which Ive had for a good year and a half Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37329-art-tablets/#findComment-497833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapplejacks Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks all! I will be sure to look around for one that suits me best! Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37329-art-tablets/#findComment-497869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I *thought* they retired the Bamboo line, but I could be wrong.It kind of depends on how you draw too. If you draw with your wrist, you should be fine with a smaller model. If you're like me and you draw with your entire arm when space allows it, go for a bigger model. I personally use an Intuos 5 (Medium).I'd give feedback about a Cintiq as well but... I've honestly never used one because I don't have the two grand for one. Or any other tablet brand. I've only used Wacom. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37329-art-tablets/#findComment-497898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Letter W Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I recommend Wacom's Intuos. I did try a Bamboo at work some years ago but that thing was too slippery. They're damn near indestructible though. I had mine for about three years and the nib never wore down. I wore down my new Intuos one in under a month. I stuck my old Bamboo nib in it... and promptly lost the pen.

Parrotoss Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Pretty much what everyone else has stated thus far. I use a standard all around model Bamboo tablet that covers the basics--the pen nub wears out quickly, but it's fine if you are careful--I find that reinstalling the tablet drive from the given disc can help extend the life of a nun if it's flat and not smashed...but new ones are always best. If the surface of the tablet concerns you, placing a page of printer copy paper on the surface can make drawing feel more natural.The back-lite tablets were you draw directly onto the drawing/screen may be a temping buy and feel amazing to use, but if you aren't using it for a major profession or utilizing it for all the extra tools, no use spending all that extra $, am I right?
