Is there anything like this where you can Draw on the pad annd SAVE that drawing to the pad? What im trying to say is, is there a portable pad where i can bring it to a friends house, they draw on it (without a computer) save the drawing to the pad, i bring it home and put it on my computer.

That thing is awesome! thanks for the idea. Ill definitely put some thought into it. I cant draw at all that's why i have to give it thought. Id basically be spending the money on a friend to use it all the time and me to upload the art.

Have you looked at the Wacom "Inkling"? I think the down side is that you can't draw in "real time" on the computer screen - everything is offline - but it would certainly allow you to do what you're asking about above. You can find it here: http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Inkling.aspxGood luck!

The copy or sketches that you do on the board are "in the moment". Think...Etch-a-Sketch.The only way to save anything is to off-load it via Bluetooth to another device.

I chose to get the smallest size because of desk space in my cramped office and limited budget. I'm actually using it right now. I found I adapted to the smaller pad size really well and can draw freely. So I don't find it an issue at all.

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.

The stylus I think is pretty decent for drawing, but the platform you're working on makes a huge difference too. If your tablet or whatever doesn't pick up the movements quickly enough, your drawings will look bad regardless of the quality of the stylus. So, I like it more than other styli I've tried for drawing, but my drawings still look like butt.

you can use mouse or pen to navigate windows or any cad or paint program, I use jfdraw and vectorengineer it takes a little time to get the hang of it like touch pen to pad is like a left click and going to the corner of the pad to move the mouse to a corner trips me up a little ect...

This is a drawing pad, not a computer. This is more like a mouse. It doesn't have a screen. It works only when connected to a computer.

Hi. I am so new to this . I have an air and it is great to point and pull with. It works great on the keyboard however I can go quicker on the keyboard with using several fingers. I haven,t got the left thumb down yet. Plus it is very pretty. I don,t know that the round end would work well to draw with if you are using that type of program. Keep in mind I am still fairly illiterate with all these devises . I didn't,t like the floppy end. My understanding is it plugs in to the headphone jack to help you keep up with it. Haven,t looked yet to serif it can be removed. Hope this is some help. Blessings Hi. I am so new to this . I have an air and it is great to point and pull with.

Im not sure but I highly doubt it, if you have to be able to "connect" your tablet pen to your tablet ((for me, it wasnt working at first)) then you can still download the software from their official website instead of from the disk,,, plus I'd you have any sort of drawing programs on your computer you're good to go, the program the disk provided wasnt helpful ((accordin to my friends))

No, you do not see what you draw on the tablet. The tablet is connected through a USB connection and you draw with the Wacom pen on the tablet and the image is viewed on your computer screen. You must be in a program like Paint to see a drawing. I use Corel Painter to create images. The Pen acts somewhat like a mouse. You can click on things with it, for instance, click to open programs or even write with it and the program recognizes your handwriting and turns it into text.

No, this only works with the Wacom Intuos 4, 5, and certain Cintiq tablets -- which are drawing interfaces for digital artists. *Not* for use with computer tablets like iPads, etc.

Yes you can. The device comes with a stylus but the screen is actually pressure sensitive. This means you can even do finger art.Just want to add something. Some lines (made with very light pressure) can appear on screen but may not appear in the saved version (PDF). Not sure why bu I guess the save is not as sensitive as the actual screen.

I was looking for the same. Until I can afford a Cintique Screen. You can use a pen (designed for phones and such) I aquired a type that was ball tip on flat disc. This did work well, the only issue is that the screen is sensitive to human touch so you can not touch the screen while drawing. The screen lays back nice for the drawing, but found it a little harder since I could not lay my palm on the screen while drawing. I do have a drawing bridge designed to lay over paper tablets to prevent smudging, this worked pretty well to rest my hand on. But its also something you have to be used to using.

The desk has a light texture I would not recommend drawing on without a pad/blotter under the paper, as the texture will likely show in the drawing. People still use pens/pencils?! Let me find one real quick and try it... nope, DEFINITELY shows in the writing. Use a desk blotter, there are plenty available on amazon.

You must have a computer of some sort. This is like a giant magic mouse pad. You draw with a stylus and your markings go directly to the computer program (AutoCAD, Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.). There is another version of this, that costs a LOT more (thousand +/-) that is an actual monitor. It is really heavy and needs to basically have a slanting table, like a drafting table for it to sit on in order to draw on the monitor itself... looking directly at the picture you are drawing on, like a monitor, but it, too needs a computer. Hope that helps.

I use the Boogie Board Rip and don't think it can be used as an alternative input for a PC. You can capture sketches and drawings, but not in "real time"...the Wacom gives you an immediate pen-based input on your PC or Mac.

When I installed my sketch tablet on my computer, I downloaded the files onto a flash drive then transferred the files to my computer. Maybe try the same thing?
