what size wacom tablet will work?

Question

I like to draw on the computer. can a 4X6 work for me? I don't have much money to spend.

Answer 1

A 4x6 tablet is a great way to start. I used one for years and never had a problem with it.
Once you get used to how it all feels in your hand and works on the screen, you'll enjoy being able to sketch electronically. Sometimes if you are real lucky you can find a large tablet on ebay that isnt too expensive; but in my opinion bigger isnt always better.

Answer 2

I use a 4X6 and think it works fine, although if I use it for extended periods of time it will cause some strain on my wrist. It is also very portable and light-weight. If you have sensitive wrist you may want something a little bigger if you can afford it. Otherwise, take breaks often and stretch and massage your wrists often as well!

Answer 3

i like my 6x8, I used 9x12 when i worked in game development; believe me you get use to the larger. i find the 4x6 is a little small. 6x8 intuos 2 or 3, its worth getting a nicer version than the graphire if you will be doing digital painting etc. you could probably go on ebay and get a larger good one used for the price you could get a new small one. check craigslist too.

Answer 4

I actually find the bigger tablets annoying since i tend to do an non-digital work on a fairly small/medium scale. It trully depends on how your used to drawing with regular pen and paper.

Answer 5

i in my view like my 6x8 graphire, yet i'm an commercial dressmaker so we draw somewhat in any different case. regardless of length you choose to get must be desperate via what's maximum mushy so which you will apply- basically borrow some out of your classmates and notice what you like. certainly get a Wacom, the extra low-priced manufacturers have way much less rigidity sensitivity.
