I want to buy a tablet! (Evil,Aidan help meh)

I'm looking for an affordable beginners tablet... yeah.

Well I use a G-Pen F610, it works great and is pressure sensitive, it works on both Mac and PC and it's only around $70 - $150 which isn't bad for a tablet at all.

You could probably find it at Tiger Direct, Best Buy or Future Shop.

I don't have all that much info, but it's served me really well over the years.

Oh haha, oops I just saw this topic today. Sorry for the long reply.

I would follow yoshi's advice, just to test out the waters and get used to using a tablet. It is an awkward switch from real life to digital. Then upgrade to something if you're really being serious about art.

This page will help you: http://icrit.org/tablets.html however it only talks about Wacom tablets. Wacom has the best tablets out there as of now, but they're very expensive too.

Just some things pertaining to art:
If you really wanna improve (since you said you're a beginner), go ahead and read the articles this site has (very useful):

-by the way, if you click on any of the links, it will just send you to a online book you can read you dont have to pay.

Fyi I went ahead and bought a wacom bamboo pen

awesome, have fun with it :]

Just keep in mind what Evil said about the transition from Paper to Digital.
It's an extremely big change.

That said have fun playing around with it!
