graphics tablet

[liresius]

I've been thinking for a while, I'd like to get a graphics tablet and try my hand at drawing - Berlinghoff's adorable mcshep and team stick figures first made me seriously think about it and bluespirit's mcpenguins have given me another push. Now, it's christmas and I could easily justify it as a Christmas present to myself! LOL! So might all knowing flist ... what do you recommend. Does everyone buy Wacom? Any other recommendations? Money isn't an object really - although I don't want to go broke over it. I don't want something too big either.

I've recently got my first tablet - it's a Wacom Bamboo pen & touch. It cost about £70 Sterling.
I've very pleased with it so far - though I have only drawn McShepguins! *g*

I was reading about the Bamboo one this morning - there are two apparently? Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. Either one of those was the way I was leaning as it seemed to be just the ticket.

Thanks for the info! *hugs*

The one I have is very easy to use - plus there's a great video tutorial at the maker's website.

I will definitely check out the vids of tutorials. Good idea!
