I use tablet too. But for making MIA graphics I use mouse. It's more accurate and convenient for me in low-res.

I've got a graphire 2.  After I get some more use out of it (practice and actually get good at it) I'm considering going for a large-size Intuos.

Some one told me when I was asking what tablet to buy (I still havn't decided yet, but Graphire 3 sounds good, but expensive)  and they told me to get a smaller one first until I got used to it. I've been drawing on paper (and recently with the mouse) since forever. :P Why should I waste my money on a smaller tablet and then buy a whole new larger one later? That just doesn't make much sense to a poor person like me. :P

I own a Wacom Graphire, but i don't use it. Well, at least now i'm not using it. It's just sitting on the floor collecting dust.

But i do plan on using it again soon.Ã,  I did use it one night just messing around drawing stuff and i really liked it.

I prefer using a mouse to draw graphics.

DON, your pic creaps me out. :S Whenever I see that movie I can't help but think of "NeverLand Ranch" (a pastey guy with extravagant clothes inviting little kids into his fantasty world....). :P I don't trust anyone called "Willy" and that guy just looks like a pedophile...I mean comon! Look at that way he is stareing like that. I can't imagin the twisted thoughts he might be thinking. *hides in the corner in the fetal position and hyperventlated*

that man is a comic genius, i hope you dont get him and that whako-jacko mixed up.

and you really dont need anything larger than 6*8 unless you plan on drawing out large scale images, like 2 foot by 3 foot images in one stroke.

I was going to get one for my birthday-
until I realized that my piece of crap Photoshop Altenative Dosen't have tablet support!!!!!  ???  What's up with that? >:(

I think the main reason for different tablet sizes is that people have different drawing techniques. Some use  their wrist to move the pen around and some use their shoulder or forearm.

I probably would be better off with a larger sized tablet but they're more expensive so I settled with this. It gets the job done but if I did it 8 hours a day I'd get a bigger one. So, Rave, I suggest you buy the size you want. You'll probably get used to it equally fast or even faster if it's the way you've always drawn - big that is.

Well, I wanted to see if I even enjoyed using a tablet before I made a large investment. My Graphire 2 only cost me $85. The tablet I'm considering is $450.  So, I wanted to potentially waste less money.  Because I draw fine-lines and would rather have more tablet-space to relate to screen-space I'd like a larger one.  This 3x4 deal makes me use miniscule movements.  In my opinion, the smaller ones are better for vague sketchy movements or painting.  In either case, I'm gonna get a lot more use out of this one before investing nearly $500 on something extravagant (Intuos 2 9x12)

3x4? That seems very very small, but I don't think I need a 9x12 on either (considering the price) I have a friend who said he has an old 6x8 and that does him alright, so I might go with that. Graphire 3, unless I can find somthing better. I'll probobly need somthing that uses seriel, because I blew out my mouse port and now use a USB lazermouse.

I have an.............um..........Wacom something or other.

I can't remember the model, but I don't really care. I think it's the smallest one available, but it does the job.

So whoop.

Yeah, for teh wrist ppl, its better to use a 15, a6 tablet, and not a a4, which can tire your arm soon.

I plan on buying a wacom graphire 3 classic A6 (classic- A6, classic XL - A5. or smthn lyke that) verry soon.
Cant wait.

etc. etc.
(you imagine the rest of my post)

I just bought a Trust tablet.
I know it is recommendable to buy Wacom, but I got like twice the area for half the price, basically.

It works well so far. The only drawback I've noticed is that the pen requires a battery. Also there is a certain, very small, lag, which doesn't bother me very much. The mouse that is included is pretty useless, but who cares, I've got a good mouse anyway.

I would recommend Trust for anyone who wants a budget version of a nice, big tablet.

/me recieves two dead presidents from the Trust agent.

I have a Wacom.. ( can't remember any subname or whatever...just Wacom )...but that plastic cover for it has gone crappy ,  ( dirty and torn in some places ) ,  and I lost track of my stylus , ever since the move I've been without stylus so I can't use my tablet. *sighs*
With my luck , I'd probably end up having to deal with error messages anyway even if I did have my stylus.
