Drawing tablet suggestions :o?

[jy0n]

Hey team, I'm looking to get back into drawing for fun and am trying to see what tablets are worth their price tags. A stretch goal would be to also get into graphic design and other cool things. But for the most part, I know next to nothing about them, besides the brand I've seen at the Microcenter store (Wacom).

 

Budget-wise, I'd like to stay at or under $100. But I don't mind saving up double if the cheap ones are just junk. (I'm hoping the cheaper ones are still pretty good though lol) I'd appreciate anyone's suggestions, and any other helpful info! (like software to play around with using a drawing tablet)

 

Oh btw, I'm in the US so amazon/newegg are my preferred stores to purchase from

I own a Wacom Bamboo with the wireless adapter. Its absolutely lovely, I use to own a older version of a bamboo, in the past. 

I suggest you grab a Intuos Pen or Intuos Manga since you want to draw. They've changed their whole tablet line-up recently.

Absolutely nothing beats the Wacom Intuous or Intuos Pro. Except maybe the Cintiq.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions guys. It's looking like I'll be saving for the Intuos as well then

if your wondering the difference between intuos pen and touch, and the manga, is the software, manga is more for animation and comic books, pen & touch comes with PS elements and is more for anything

I'm leaning towards picking up the version with the manga software :0

Aight sweet, maybe you can post back over here or shoot me a PM later with your thoughts on it after you play around with it

If you draw for fun every now and then, In my opinion there is not much point into buying an intuos. A larger bamboo is great and way cheaper!
