The thing with Wacom tablets, as most people know, is that it takes awhile to get used to them. I have found that larger tablets are not so good if you're only going to use the tablet for small jobs or general computing (which is what I use my 4X5 inch tablet for), but better for hardcore artistic endeavors. The bigger tablets let you draw more naturally, with bigger arm and shoulder movements.Garylisk wrote:Also, I bought the Graphire 4, which is 4x5 inches (20 sq. inches), and has 512 levels of pressure sensitivity. Do you feel that this size and level of pressure sensing is a good tablet for a beginner? I figured it was the best choice. I am an aspiring artist and designer, starting a bit late at nearly 28 years of age, but feel confident in my ability to learn.
I wouldn't bother sinking money into an big, expensive, highly sensitive tablet until you get a good feel for how to handle the smaller, more affordable ones and are convinced that a better tablet will really boost your performance.
