Designers -> Which Graphic Tablets do you use? - GoFuckYourself.com

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 10:35 AM

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?

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 10:37 AM

please ignore the other thread. post here.

I have a Wacom somewhere.

eroswebmaster · 03-16-2004, 10:40 AM

I've been meaning to try a wacom...probably soon.

mastamindz · 03-16-2004, 10:45 AM

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

HS-Trixxxia · 03-16-2004, 10:47 AM

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.

Raf1 · 03-16-2004, 10:49 AM

I have a wacom, but I haven't been designing in a while

GARBAGE-PAIL-KIDS · 03-16-2004, 10:52 AM

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.

doornx · 03-16-2004, 10:55 AM

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

theS2O · 03-16-2004, 10:59 AM

i have never use a pen tablet.. i used the good old hand illustration if some drawing is needed in a design... but i'm looking forward in using one though..

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 11:00 AM

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

doornx · 03-16-2004, 11:07 AM

btw..get the intuos2..not the graphire 3 as it sucks and feels cheap..i have the a5 and it's big enough

machinegunkelly · 03-16-2004, 11:08 AM

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 .
http://twistedbydesigns.com/toons.htm
most of those are drawn with a wacom tablet .

good luck

which one would you recommend?

Ironhorse · 03-16-2004, 11:14 AM

Wacom

TheMob · 03-16-2004, 11:25 AM

I use a Wacom myself.. Great thing.

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 11:28 AM

holy shit. that intuos2 is expensive. i don't think i can afford one

Chris · 03-16-2004, 11:29 AM

just fucking around with the wacom

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 11:34 AM

can i use the strokepen only or do i need the tablet too?

Cr34t1v3 · 03-16-2004, 11:38 AM

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

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 11:41 AM

nice perspective

i guess i'll go with the graphire, since i don't have so much money at hands. what do you say?

Minte · 03-16-2004, 11:56 AM

I've been using calcomp for years..the one i still have is a model 34120 with the 16 button cordless puck

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 ;)

Scherfi · 03-16-2004, 12:06 PM

found some nice ones on ebay. lets see if i can get me one there hehe

Stewie · 03-16-2004, 12:10 PM

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.
