Hi there, I realise this is an older thread, but it seems to make the most sense for my question, which is: Is there anyone out there who can tell me what drawing tablet to get? Sorry, I'll be a bit more specific... :) I'm hoping to use it for colouring in backgrounds and characters (Gimp and Artweaver), 2D animation (software like Pencil and Synfig Studio) and perhaps 3D modelling (Blender), although that one isn't a priority... :) Colouring in backgrounds is my biggest problem, my only other option would be to colour them in by hand and scan them in. Trouble is I don't really have much of an eye for colour to begin with, so as soon as I made a mistake I would have to start over again, making it even more time-consuming than it normally is. If only paper came with an "undo" option... :wink: I've been doing some "research" myself already and I've narrowed it down to a Wacom Volito or Graphire, the latter coming in two different sizes, although ultimately it will be my wallet that has the final say... :wink: The problem is that I've never worked with a drawing tablet before, so I don't know what to expect. Does it take a lot of getting used to when you normally only ever draw on paper? How do all you Lassie users colour in your backgrounds? If any of you use a drawing tablet, would you please post a comment, and tell me what kind and size (they don't HAVE to be Wacom of course...) you used and perhaps add a link to some screenshots, so I would be able to see what results CAN be achieved with it? <grin> I'm not expecting a drawing tablet to make me a "great artist" overnight, but it should be a lot easier to get reasonable results with than with a mouse, and believe me: I HAVE tried... :) I'd be more than grateful for any help, so I hope you'll all be flooding this thread with advice soon... :wink:
