Hello I bought the Wacom tablet because I'm a graphic designer and digital artist, for me, was the best money I ever spend, I work daily with my Wacom and I never regret for purchased it. If you will gift it to your daughter I recommend you buy a briefcase for save it and carrier it (the original box is not good enough), a flex laptop table or something like that for comfort and better grip too.I use a laptop stand similar to this Rolodex Mesh Workspace Laptop Stand, Black/Silver (82410)

I am very happy with My Cintiq 13HD. The only issues I have is the A/C cord is not optimal for movement but I don't see how they could resolve that without it being a tablet. I would also recommend a fingerless wool glove so your hand can glide on the screen. Just a suggestion.

yes, just make sure your computer has the right OS that is compatible with the device before you buy. If you're just wanting to use this as a mouse replacement, you may want to consider buying a cheaper device/tablet. People purchase these tablets specifically for design work or art. I would consider your options.

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

this is a great drawing pad only. it's does not have a screen, everything is displayed in your screen. you can either ether it with the USB cord or use the wireless dongle that comes with it. once you get used to looking at the screen you will really like how it works. I bought my daughter one for Mac air and she's uses it all the time. I wish I could display some of her work with the tablet. we had problems with apples new Yosemite OS and the tech support had their software guys rewrite new drivers within a couple of days. this is good starting tool for tragic designers who do not want to save money.

The Intuos3 should work fine with PS Element and as Jhay stated, make sure to download the latest drivers from Wacoms website.Tablets tend to feel more natural to draw with and are usually easier/faster compared to doing digital art/etc with a mouse, if that is what you are asking.

Any 'rubber tip' stylus will work, about as good as a finger(seriously, those things are junk)... To really enjoy drawing, or note taking, you should get an HTC stylus. Only the htc stylus will take advantage of the active digitizer (though I have heard rumors that some dell tablet pens will work aswell, not sure for myself though, so search around).

We recommend the GT-190 tablet monitor. It has 5080 DPI and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity. For $450 it is a great alternative to tablets that costs four times the price. As for software for beginners, there are free drawing programs out there, such as MyPaint, Krita, Fire Alpaca and so on. If you would like to buy a drawing program, we recommend Adobe Suites. Hope this helps.

It will only let you draw vector art and then import into illustrator. You want a Wacom tablet.

No, not by itself. You need a separate HUION or DIGIPRO drawing tablet. these are just the replacement pens, not standalone digital drawing pens.

Umm...I don't think you'll need a wacom for C&P...in fact, you don't need any tablet at all if you are only going to be using the simple features in Photoshop. Since those functions does not utilize the pressure sensitivity that comes with a wacom, buying a tablet is really a waste of money in my opinion.

If you prefer drawing directly on the screen, you may choose the Huion GT-190; If you prefer a smaller device which is easy to carry around, you may choose the Huion H610 Pro. As for software, there are free drawing programs out there, such as MyPaint, Krita, Fire Alpaca and so on. If you would like to buy a drawing program, we recommend Adobe Suites. Hope this helps.

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.

The first tablet was probably a Wacom of some kind, my guess is one of the Intuos professional models. The large tablet monitor you saw was a Wacom Cintiq. Be aware that Cintiqs cost thousands of dollars, and are usually only worth it if you are actively making a living in a field such as concept art, matte painting, etc. You can do everything with a regular tablet that you can with a Cintiq minus draw on the actual screen, so it's really more of a convenience than a necessity. Still, in college I had access to a lab full of Cintiqs 24/7 for four years, and they truly are awesome to use. Maybe if I ever have large amounts of disposable income...

I am a cartoonist. I have been drawing on paper, scanning into Corel Draw, manipulating and shading the drawing, export as a Jpeg and e-mail it away. Just went to the "world standard" of Adobe Illustrator and having trouble getting up to speed. However, Amazon does sell "Ai for dummies". I got a used one, great price and brand new, and I am starting to make "some" headway on the learning curve. Hang in there, I'm 82. Now I'm looking for a Huion tablet "Dummies" book. Jerry

This tablet is amazing, I have zero complaints so far - the drawing area is close to the size of drawing on an 8x10 sheet of paper. I haven't tried a Wacom, but I can't see what one would offer that the monoprice doesn't (this has hotkeys, pressure sensitivity, battery for the pen and an led blink to let you know when its in range). Also many applications (GNU Image Manipulation Program, mtpaint, aseprite and other animation tools) work out of the box with it (at least under GNU/Linux - which I'd guess for sure they do on Windows/OSX) as far as having great defaults for the pen's two buttons (open menu/zoom in and out etc.). I highly recommend this tablet.
