Drawing Tablets

more: Cool Tools

If you're currently using a mouse to do your digital image editing or painting, you might be interested in a better way: using a drawing tablet. It reduces the strain on the wrist, feels more like a real pen, and gives additional control capabilities.

Drawing tablets will add pressure-sensitive input, which some programs such as Project Dogwaffle or Photoshop can use with some brushes in order to let you control certain features such as its size, the spray opacity, an angle of tilt or rotation, etc... it all depends and varies with the software and the type of tablets too. Some tablets offer optional features through special pens such as the 6D Pen from Wacom.

If it's in your budget, then we recommend the top quality professional Wacom tablets and there are a few others which are nice too. See the tablets section on our Links page for a full list.

There are numerous features and details that can affect the price and your decision to go with one or the other brand. Some models are larger, which helps if you need to trace existing material from paper or cloth. Others have control buttons and scroller-sliders along the side. Yet others offer additional types of pens for cartooning or airbrushing. If you're new to tablets, please don't hesitate to contact us and ask questions. Or visit the Dogwaffle forum at Yahoogroups.
