Graphics Tablet?

(1/3) > >>

Fledermen64:
I was wondering if I should get one. My art is pretty mediocre but im getting discouraged because i can only sketch and not ink it afterwards and have limited supply's for painting and such. I don't know. And if so which ones should i get. I dont have any examples "no scanner in my dorm room."

Spluff:
A bamboo or a graphire should do you fine. Whether or whether not it is a good purchase depends on how much you would use it - if you sketch regularly, then yes. Otherwise it'll probably end up just sitting there.

I think it is okay to hijack this post. (It is related, similar view!)

I know someone with a graphic tablet, now i've never used one myself but something thats always got me.

When using it, do you look at the graphics tablet or on screen? I'd personally find that very... strange. I mean I've drawn for some several years and well I'd find it strange not looking at what im drawing, but I am, i'd be watching it on a monitor.

So the point im saying, is it easy to get used to? Or is it something that takes time to overcome?

I actually didn't find it that difficult of an adjustment.  I use one of these both at school and at work and they are very nice.  The pen is comfy and it's very easy to use.  You can also play with settings to streamline the interface.  Plus, they're fairly inexpensive, as far as technology on a whole goes.

Siert:
Well does it come with software or do you need to buy software that is compatible? I know im stealing his thread, just well at least its not a new thread! Rigth expanding. Also more questions, is it as good as the real thing or better? (I mean since you don't waste paper. Makes sense there im studying the environment so.. well saving paper is the smart thing to do here! Also paper is expensive!
