    Designers -> Which Graphic Tablets do you use?

    i've seen some cool contests here, and some of the logos where obviously made using a graphic tablet.

    so, which one do you use yourself or which one would you recommend?

          I was looking at picking up a wacom. I used one a while back and it was freaking cool.

            Hehhehe....just goes to prove how much of a friggen gadget freak I am..... I've had one for about 2 years and it sits here behind the laptop doing f-all!!!

            So tell me what do you use it for? I bought it hoping to give a good 'signature' for documents or to fuck around.

                I'll be honest. I bought a wacom tablet about 6 months ago. I used it for a week, then realized I don't have time for this shit.

                If you are someone that is really good at drawing naturally on paper then this could be the thing for you. I suck at it so it wasn't something I stuck with.


                I'm really impatient as well so sitting there for hours at a time for one little drawing made me stop using it.

                  Wacum is excellent..it costed me $400 but saved me from getting RSI..i use the pen all the time instead of a mouse

                  a pen has a much more natural feeling then a mouse..also..you don't have to click ..just tap to click

                      i can draw on paper pretty decent. since i have no scanner at hands i thought it would be the most direct way to make characters or cool logo gadgets.

                      anybody interested in selling his wacom tablet? :D

                          Wacom Graphire 3 .
                          Get a small one to start , its something you will either love or hate , so dont drop $400 on the first go .

                          The smaller ones seem easier to use to me .

                          most of those are drawn with a wacom tablet .


                          good luck

                                        I use a Wacom 6x8 Graphire 3 for some projects but I mostly (almost always) draw digitally. I like to get right down to the pixel level for details and colour blending...I just find I have more
                                        control that way.

                                        Heres a sample...Thirsty

                                              Ty.

                                              I'd say if freehand is more your comfort level then yes.
                                              I think they are around 80.00 - 190.00 US?...Not sure.
                                              Mine was around 400.00 CDN. Worth it though if you have the
                                              cash kicking around....

                                                You'll find a graphire 2 or 3 for just under $100 .
                                                it will do just fine , trust me .


                                                the larger ones are for more experienced folks ;)

                                                    I use a Wacom as well - I don't draw with it much, but it's great for cuting out models from backgrounds and image edits.
