Hey all you pros, I was wondering if you could help me in the purchase of a Wacom. I’m 13 and I’m very interested in graphic arts, and have already submitted 2 t shirt designs. I have basic PS skills but I’m still learning. I was gonna buy the bamboo but thought that it may not be the best one. Any feedback on which one I should get and why is appreciated, please keep in mind though, I’m 13 and don’t have $1000 lying around to spend on this kinda thing.
I remember discussing this stuff with the photochoppers before shirt.woot existed. At that time there was a deal on the small graphires. I got one and I think several others did too. For learning and getting the feel of a tablet it’s been great. I don’t do much now because of life and family and stuff, but when I do I’m happy I have the tablet. The smaller size really isn’t that much of a hinderance. (6x4)
The Bamboo is great enough for what you need it for. You don’t need an Intuos unless you’re very serious and need the ability to encode angled brushstrokes.
