Wacom Tablet.

EpikLove · August 2009

Okay, so, bluey finally has the money to get a tablet and still have enough to make her feel good. xD I'm mostly set on getting a Wacom Bamboo Fun, [small size], but what do you artists out there use? I just want to hear some opinions on different types of tablets. :] My price range is up to 200$. the Bamboo Fun is 99$, and I quite like that price.

I first saw this tablet at Best Buy today, and I've been researching it, and mostly people say it's a pretty good starter tablet. I don't need a huge space to work on, the size of the Bamboo Fun is pretty good, actually.

So, any pros/cons on the Bamboo Fun and other tablets you've used? :]

My friend has that and she said it's very tiny. VERY. She said she can put her hand on it and it covers the entire tablet, not just the drawing space. On a 6x8 the drawing area is the size of her whole tablet. A bit bigger, than it, I think, actually. However, she draws very large. So she adored my 6x8 when she spent the night. Now I'm not sure about you, but I draw very tiny, so a smaller tablet would probably be a little bit better at times. Think of it this way. Bigger tablet, longer strokes. Smaller tablet, smaller strokes. Think of how you draw.

Definitely smaller tablet, then.

Thanks, Dreamy!

Oh, and the small Bamboo Fun also comes with Photoshop Elements 6.0, Corel Painter and Nik Color Efex Pro for free. If that helps. I love your banner by the way xD

I have a Wacom Bamboo Fun, and it is AMAZING. It has the wonderful pen on paper feeling, and it comes with 3 extra nibs, (which are the tip replacments). Size is so not an issue, it captures the intire screen with amazing acuracey, and it comes with 3 free drawing tools. It's only around 100$ and it works like a pro. I siggust it highly. ^3^

A lot of people who draw on paper say that smaller tablets are better because of the smaller hand motions they're used to. xD I've used a small/medium one, and a super-large one, and I find the smaller one to be easier for the drawing space, but the larger to be more useful because of all the cool things it has. xD

Howdy, Stranger!
