    $1000 tablet @_@... I just use wacom bamboo medium XD I'd like a large but I wouldn't be able to fit it on my desk! haha

    Photoshop is loooovely for painting but I swear by easy paint tool SAI for sketching and lineart, you can even save your project as .PSD and import into photoshop for coloring and effects >:3

    Edit - and having a slider for canvas angle and zoom is so amazing, I wish photoshop had those ;~; haha

    It's the cheapest tablet that I want, it shows what your drawing on the tablet instead of looking at the computer monitor. I don't really do well without looking at what I'm doing and to know where I'm starting at.

    I'm just used to using Photoshop when I was in school. I just wish it was cheaper. But alas I won't get my own computer for a couple of years now I just have to keep my drawing up.

    These days, instead of getting a Wacom Cintiq, a lot of artists seem to get the Samsung Galaxy note with a Wacom bamboo stylus pen, It will still be a hefty price but not as bad as an actual Cintiq. I got another android tablet and the drawing apps you can buy are pretty neat. The hard part is finding a suitable stylus.

    I've honestly never had that problem with the wacom, I wanted a cintiq so bad but I have to /really/ look at what I'm doing up-close since my eyes are so bad. When I draw I lean in pretty close to the monitor so I can see every detail clearly (even while zoomed in haha), I could never do that con a cintiq, I'd get killer neck ache lol.

    You can totally tell where you're starting at on a wacom, if you hover the pen over the worksurface, the mouse pointer moves (sorcery, I tell you!).

    Although a cintique (i'm assuming) is amazing, you can live without it and just get the wacom bamboo/intuos. If the problem is that you have to look at what your drawing, try doing some practice sketches of random things but try to look at the object while your drawing. Once you get the muscle feeling down, you'll find that using the tablet(not cintique) is just way easier than the low-tech sketch practice you were just doing.

    Pretty much this D:, it's a little shaky to begin with but you'll be so surprised at how the feeling is just so natural after a very short time.

    Well I have the Bamboo Create but I kinda just don't feel natural at it so I gave it to some other friend who wanted one.

    awww D:

    I didn't have the time to sit down with it often when I first got mine, it took me a good month to get into the swing of things, but now I just can't go back to the old way ; ;
