Pen/Tablets. (Moved from Art Discussion)

[Jclark333]

I was wondering where I could get a decent pen/tablet. I've been using photoshop for awhile now and want to get into doing some realistic things with it. Anyone have any suggestions? That aren't too high in price?

I suggest starting small.. Bamboo tablets.. the 5x4" are not bad and relatively cheap. See if you dig it..

Geeks.com has a digipro tablet.. 6x8" on sale for about forty bones. The only draw back is the pen requires a battery.

8" x 6" DigiPro WP8060 USB Graphics Tablet w/Cordless Pen (Black)

Wacoms are probably the best, and as soon as I can get enough cash I am going to toss out the old one and get something bigger. THis is what I have now

You should also look through the Wacom folder in this very forum. It is dedicated to this topic and related tablet topics:

Tablets can have a difficult learning curve, but stick with it!

How are Digipros in comparison to say...an Intuos 2 or 3 or Bamboo?

Moved to the right place. Check the stickies.

Zero idea.. I've used my trusty wacom3 for ages and haven't had an issue with trying out off brand input devices (even three years after the fact).
