I can't speak to what your preferences are with a tablet but I work on very large artwork myself and even so, the small tablet is what I prefer, anything larger would be cumbersome.

Bamboo Create. It was my first tablet. I got it 5 years ago and it's still fully functional through all the years of wear and tear. It's not a huge one, but it's a nice size for beginners or hobbyists. The pen pressure levels aren't too bad either. It comes with two free art programs for Windows and Mac.

I would have to say yes, although I'm just an art student, so I'm still in learning, however, even so, I do like this tablet. Especially because of the smaller version of the big 24hd. As an art student, I have to carry it for work to school and back, so it's perfect for me. Even for home I simply love it. It's comfortable to work on it on a table, or on your lap, or however you want. Good luck with your choice! :)

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.

It's funny... I had the same concerns.But there is a new driver that fixed a big portion of that.But truthfully... The tablet draws fine. Most of the jitter I saw on the YouTube demos was due to pulling lines in their software incorrectly.I put out a Web comic each week, and have no problems.Feel free to check out the lines if you're curious.1d4Rounds.comAnd contact us on there with any questions... Im happy to answer any questions I can.

I would recommend this tablet to anyone drawing anything. I am not a professional artist by trade and still found it very easy to pick up and adjust to. One thing that may require adjustment to is the pressure. I typically had a very hard stroke and pressure when using a pencil and found I was wearing out the pen nibs quite quickly (I went through 2 nibs in a time span of about 2 months). After getting used to the more "light" feel, I have been able to use the same nib without any noticeable wear for approximately 8 months now.Long Story Short:Yes I would recommend this tablet for drawing anime for beginners.

Although the active area of the tablet may map to your monitor size, the size of the active area still matters. From my exp, the small and even med Int4 are "writing" tablets because the active area is too small for the strokes adults make when drawing. Personally, I wouldn't go under a 12 x 9 active area for drawing...which, for the "starving artist", means looking at alternative brands to wacom.

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.

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.

I was disappointed with this product because it could not activate 5-6 tools (brushes, pens, pencils). I could have gotten a bad one so I would not consider my reply as the gospel truth. Just my personal experience with it. If I were in a profession such as yours, I would opt for a more expensive device such as Wacom Intuous 5 or 6. Go to Facebook and search for renderings using various tablets. You'll see actual the methods of how the artists use these various devices to make their art. Hope this helps.

Yes, but the pictures are standard at best; not very high quality. This is tablet is good as a starter unit for kids under 13, but not as a professional tablet. For that I strongly suggest to by the iPAD. One month after I bought it I passed on to my wife, which passed it on to our son a week later. Both Her and I now have iPADs.

My daughter uses her wacom cintiq daily and uses the adobe photoshop software suite for her art. She never actually used the included software as she didn't like it. She loves the tablet and the adobe photoshop software. I believe she has a subscription to adobe which she purchased through amazon.

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.

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

Okay, hopefully I've managed to edit this in time to stop the previous answer from sending out. I accidentally clicked "yes" because my mouse is acting weird and doesn't move properly. Long story. Anyway, I'm really sorry about that and I apologize even more in the next message. I explain in the next message that is displays the drawing on the computer screen, not that of the tablet. Only super expensive and huge tablets have a separate screen like that. Again, sorry for the lengthy answer comprised mainly of apologies.
