Is it easy to use and comprehensive for drawing only

I haven't been using it lately. Best bet is check out videos on "Utube", lots of informative stuff there. Also do search of manufacturer's website which is: "Autodesk" and search w name of program: "SketchBook Pro 6". Lot of tutorials and examples showing it in action, which will be much better than words.

I think so. The basic tracing might be boring but there are ways to use it to make flip books which are still too hard for my 6 year old. If your child would enjoy tracing things and then coloring them in, then it would still be good.

It is small, but a little bulky. I would say you could sketch just fine as long as you had a support board behind your paper (as you can see there are cutouts on the easel). It's very portable and works best on a tabletop, though on your lap could work fine. My son uses it for sketches and has no real complaints other than sometimes the drawers will slide open a bit. It's fairly sturdy.

I'm a graphic designer, and I also have an Epson v500. I don't recommend the ScanSnap for photos or illustrations. Stick with the Epson v500 for that. But if you have a pencil sketch that you need to place in Adobe Illustrator as a guide, that's just fine.

Yes! I use this to draw full on logo designs, and ads in the Adobe Creative Suite. I highly recommend it over a mouse any day when it comes to the art aspect of design.

Yes its worked great for me. outline drawings are actually the best. color photos n stuff come out blurry usually. but yes for outlines its awesome. I'm happy with the machine. jus make sure ur outline is nice n dark. it comes out perfect every time.

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.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

It's monitor only. To see what you're drawing, you would want to get a Cintique.

Perfect! If you have not used Corel Draw before, there is a "learning curve". If you have used Adobe Illustrator, using Corel Draw should present no problem.

The tablet is great. I love it. What you should be asking yourself is what software you'll be using because that ultimately will decipher whether or not it's difficult to draw anime. Last note, this tablet will do what you need it to do.

I like it, however i'm not an expert graphic artist. I use it occasionally with Corel Draw,Gimp and other graphic software with various results. From a novice point of view i think it's a great stepping stone to a more professional tablet that costs 100's more. It's been reliable for me and the battery stays charged a long time . The wireless part is great too because i can hold the tablet at various angles and positions without tangling wires. One thing i dislike is the auto battery save feature that makes me turn off tablet and back on to continue working, but only happens when it sits unused for a while. Hope this helps.

If you are trying to go cheap Krita or GIMP are great free general graphics programs that you can draw with, but if you want something that is a bit more geared toward drawing Manga Studio is better than Photoshop in many respects for drawing and painting.

I use it for drawing websites and taking notes. For actual sketching any basic drawing pad would work better but if you are lets say doing home design, architecture, web design or grid based art this would work fine.

Yes. This tablet comes with three free software applications: Corel Painter Essentials, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and Autodesk Sketchbook Express (I believe that would be the one you can draw with, I just use the tablet for painting). All you have to do is download the software from the Wacom site after you've registered the product.

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

I would agree with Chris Frenzy. Great to introduce you to a graphic pen/tablet. I also mainly use with Photoshop, but so far with Illustrator we haven't experienced any problems. It definitely does the job!
