So I just bought a new (used but not so much) tablet today.
A good ol' Wacom Bamboo pen.
I just need to get use to it now.
It feels like I need to relearn how to do things.
Hi guys,
There are some...interesting choices...re tablets. I'm getting one for my birthday. I'm looking at either a Ugee M1000L, Huion HP610 both around $60-80AUD on the interweb or a small Wacom (the only one I can find at that price range). Both the imports have a at least an 8" x 5" work area, the Ugee supposedly 10" x 6". Has anyone had experience with these? Online reviews seem to indicate they're good value for money for beginners. Thoughts?
Edit: Decided to go with the Huion H610PRO, 10"x6", rechargeable pen, 2000+ pen sensitivity, customisable hot keys etc. $70AUD inc delivery. Haven't order it yet, will be doing so shortly...

Happy new tablet, Azelor! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I have a Wacom Intuos and it has been a lot of fun to get used to as I had never used one before. I'm not using it as much as I should but I'm not getting a lot of time lately to spend on cartography/artwork. From having worked with some artists doing graphic design with tablets, Wacom is a very good brand and using a tablet in general is a really good idea for upping your game in terms of digital editing. I have had one major problem however, I couldn't get my Wacom Intuos to work on Windows 7 to save my life. I had to upgrade my PC to Windows 10 to get it working. This was probably an issue with my system but none of the steps or solutions I found via googling helped me to resolve it, so just keep an eye out for compatibility with whatever you may get!
Always tablet for drawing,no doubt!
My first one, long time ago... was the wacom bamboo, it is a very cheap one, nice for people who want to try without spending a lot of money (less 40$ on ebay or amazon).
My choice nowadays is ipad pro 12", ipencil is the best stylus in market!
I switched for an iPad pro with an Apple pencil, no regrets.
As Fran said, the pencil is the best stylus I tried.
Since this topic has been kicking around for 10+ years, assuming price was no object, what would your 'perfect solution' look like? Would it be a touch laptop (like the Microsoft Surface Pro) that would let you use a mouse or stylus (or your finger)? What software would you have on it? GIMP is available for Android - would you prefer a less expensive 'true' tablet or is having access to Windows based software essential?
No Windows, iPad Pro with ProCreate and an Apple Pencil. The accuracy of the pencil is far ahead of any other stylus.
That associate with my Mac and Photoshop is the perfect solution for me right now.
I saw the subject of this and thought...
Mouse [Sue Daniels] versus Tablet...
like it was some sort of fight to the finish
...FIGHT...
Mouse wins.
Flawless victory.
