Jacki Silverfall Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I was wondering if you all have advice on the Wacom tablet. I am thinking about getting one. Need recommendations on which model. I just can't get the precision out of a mouse. I have never used a pen tablet before. Is this a good brand? I'm thinking of getting the bamboo silver one. It has good graphic programs included. Just can't take trying to draw and work with photos using a mouse any more, To frustrating.Thanks for your tips in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwise Yoshikawa Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 All graphic designers I know use wacom, so when I had to buy a new one I didn't doubt about it I use a not expensive Bamboo pen&touch Wacom and works great, better than my old tablet from other brand ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wacom is the best tablet brand to get and a pen tablet IS much better than using a mouse when drawing. It does take a little time to get used to. When I first tried a tablet it wasn't exactly like I imagined it would be but after a few days it felt more natural and the mouse felt like moving a brick around. As far as tablet size, my drawing style doesn't have broad sweeping strokes and most drawing programs let you zoom in and out so having a large tablet size is more out of preference than usefulness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Patton Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The Intuos line are the pro models. They're absolutely fantastic but a bit pricey. The Bamboo line is more for students and hobbyists, I've number of friends who have Bamboo tablets and they love them. If this is your first time trying a tablet this is probably right for you! It takes a bit getting used to working with a tablet, but keep at it! Once you get the hang of it it is SO much easier than trying to use a mouse for that kind of work.

Psoul Tolsen Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I use an Intuos 3 4x6 and love it. The 4s are very nice, but if you can find a Intuos 3 for a good deal, it's a great tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaysaari Farshore Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have a Bamboo Fun and it's decent, but everyone swears by teh Intuos. Or if you're super loaded, get a Cintiq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
