Drawling Tablet

[lORDMADDOG]

Hi all I was wondering whats the best drawling tablet for Zbrush Maya and Photoshop that around 100$

I ask cause me and my wife have about 100 dollars for Christmas and we wana get some thing we can both use and we thought for a bit and A drawling tablet is what we came up with shes amazing at art and I do 3d stuff so we figure a drawling tablet is perfect



only thing I know for sure I want in a tablet is pressure sensitive so any tips and thought on what ones best or what type and features would be awesome

For under 100$ try this one: Amazon.com: Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet (CTH470): Electronics

I would recommend always going with Wacom. It's like photoshop, there are no real alternatives.

Yup wacom Bamboo is a good one!

I bought the cheap Wacom Bamboo tablet a couple year back and I still have it. I can't really complain, it does the job.

Yes I was looking at that one this morning but I was not sure that it was the best for what I want cause it says

"Turn ordinary photos into extraordinary ones" as its main theme and thats not at all what I want to do

but the next one up says "Advanced creative expression: draw, paint, retouch, and sketch" thats about right but getting 75 more $ is not so easy to squeeze up

whats the real dif with thees two besides Active Area

I notice the Wacom Bamboo Create has Tablet Resolution: 2540 whats this mean?

and any way I can get it for cheaper like If I dont get software with it ( I know theres a few sites out there that do that type of sell but I cant ever seem to find them via Google )

From what I can tell it's just a larger active area (resolution), and more software included. Not sure if you can get one without the software...unless you try ebay or something.

The smaller one just gives you less precision, because the active area is smaller. Unless you do a lot of fine sculpting/detailing I would go with the cheaper one.

And honestly, till your skills get really good, you really don't need the bigger, more expensive one.

My two cents anyway.

What do you want to do with the table exactly?

well my wife wants to drawl digitally and shes real good with all hand type are and not so good at computer art

so this will help her

I am no good at drawling what so ever but I do know alot about 3d art apps (over 7 years of working with them) but because my art skill in general sucks I get to a point and have no clue how to add the next lvl of detail

so maybe with a tablet I will increase my art skills

+1 for the Bamboo. I use the small one. While I'd love a bigger version, it works just fine for now.

It makes drawing and texturing SO MUCH EASIER!

+1 for the bamboo as well, I got my cheap one about 4 years ago. My texturing improved so much after getting used to it, also I find Zbrush useless without a tablet. Cant recommend Wacom enough mine has been through a look and is not looking as pretty as when i got it but still works like a dream and thats a cheap model.

I got one the cheaper one and I have to say I like it very much has a nice fill and adds just a tad bit more excitement to my work

here is my first quick sketch with it. It is the first drawing I have ever done
