I'm getting a Drawing Tablet. I have a question though.

[Poetic Justice 170]

So, I am looking into getting a new graphics tablet. I've always used the Bamboo Touch, and have gotten pretty comfortable with it. However, now I have the option to get a Small, Medium, or Large tablet.

My question to experienced digital artists is this. Do you feel that the size of the tablet impacts skill? Will getting the Large one be a different than the Medium? Or is it just preference.

Even though I don't own a Wacom tablet, large is my preferred choice, since you have more room to draw.

 

BTW, I am jealous of you.

 

At the moment I draw my stuff on paper, ink it, and then I scan it.

I think so myself. I own a rather large Wacom tablet, and one of the advantages of my tablet is having a bigger touch screen to draw things. Even so, I dislike the size of my tablet and prefer something pocket-sized like the small Wacom tablet. Because of how big my tablet is, it takes up a fair bit of my desk.

Desk Space? What is this desk space of which you speak?

I would think that size isn't a big deal because I've noticed that 99% of the time, digital artists zoom in to work on details.

Alrighty then. I'm just talking from my experiences. My desk isn't too large, so because of that, I don't have enough room to move all that much.

There's nothing wrong with that. Traditional Art has some things that digital art isn't able to copy.

Dont fly too low.

 

I used years ago trust tb4200 blind tablet and my pens pressure sensor not works. Ok, it was better than mouse but... Then falls lcd tablet's prices and i bought Cintiq 12WX. Only thing, what i dislike of that tablet - a bit small screen, it need scroll and zoom too often. And bigger screens have very different price levels...

imo, it won't really make a difference in the long run. I have a medium intuos pro and I have had no problems whatsoever with space. Large is only for big projects, and since you are just starting out, that isn't recommended.

Is that a thousnad dollar tablet? Or can you get those ones that display the screen for cheap?

I forgot the price, maybe was that sale or something and price was 899$ from US and shipping and duty was 200 some years ago. In Estonia one shop sells it about 1500$...

Some weeks ago was in home problems with computers (needed one new), then i was look for Cintiq Companion but i find not free money for that toy and i carry hereafter that tablet, laptop and bundle of cables, if in work are some 2-3 hours long brakes.

It makes a difference, but I use a Intuos small
