The XP-Pen will be completely fine for a first starter tablet yeah. Also the only wacom you’d have any trouble getting in the US would be the CTH/CTL-480 which is discontinued, you’d have problems no matter where you are.

The best tablet you can buy right now is the CTL-472, so it would be a good choice whenever you decide to upgrade

I don’t know how an area can feel like a mouse sensitivity, but any tablet will work because they all have areas you can configure. Though the best tablet to buy right now is the Wacom CTL-472

Just like u/RinkoOfUlga, the one I use is also not in production anymore, so I can’t recommend it. But, seems like the Wacom One is good, cheap and have good reviews. If I were to buy one now, it would probably be this.

But, take that recommendation with a grain of salt. Again, maybe doing some research, seeing what other people have to say about it (On Youtube, for example) would be a good idea.

> Ok is there a reason why I should get it dedicated and not integrated?

integrated gpus are often low powered and poorly supported by 3d software. if for example you had designs on gpu rendering, you’d hit limits super fast. many of the programs you’ll use in 3d work best or only with a dedicated gpu. in practice it’s easy to tell when shopping. most sellers list a laptop with integrated graphics as “integrated graphics” and dedicated gpus as whatever the model of the gpu is. so if you see a gpu model name like GTX _____ or RTX _____ then it’s fine. with the specs you’re aiming for, that’s probably all you’ll see anyway

> And then tablet wise are you saying just get a cheap $200 Wacom

i mean a graphics tablet, like this one. easy, light, and cheap. some people assume they need a cintiq like device but unless you’re willing to increase your budget by quite a bit this is imo somewhat unrealistic. you can easily do all your sculpting with a regular tablet and there are cheaper brands out there than wacom like huion

Not answering your questions, but I would suggest, if it is withing your means, for you to buy a digital drawing table. There is some pretty inexpensive models like this one (the one I have) that would be enough to improve your videos drastically. Writing just using a mouse will usually result in some nasty handwriting, which doesn’t affect the value of the actual subject you’re addressing, but will inevitably affect the experience of watching your videos.

Absolutely. Don’t go in worrying about rank or anything and just have fun. You might start to get a bit competitive later on, but that’s cool.

As for the tablet, that’s gonna be preference – but the CTL-472 (which is really damned nice) is on a sale right now. Definitely worth a try at that price if you’re considering switching.

Graphics Tablets here in the U.S. start at $33 on Amazon.

Wacom starts at $39 and $99.

I gave up on trying to do art on the computer but still have a tablet for each of my computers because they are handy things to have. That $39 Wacom would be perfect for lots of odd things like photo retouching and some PDF markups and signatures.

From my personal point of view, I would never trade my Prismacolor Pencils for even the best Wacom graphics monitor.

Get him the $39 small Wacom, he will find use for it and it is still enough to do art with though how far he takes it is up to him.

If you have a pc, krita plus a drawing tablet such as this is common and cheap.

If you want to spring for something fancier, some have built-in screens, and there’s more professional software.

There’s also some apps that are decent, but it’ll rely on your device’s screen supporting advanced input. My older phone didn’t, but I was able to plug the tablet in because it had Linux support.

Do you have access to a laptop or computer?

I’m a beginner so I made a beginner-level investment with a One by Wacom Student drawing tablet. A bit cheaper because there’s no screen, but it doesn’t take too long to get used to. I love it.

This is the tablet I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1RR3FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_3GDGM48CQ85MGS8NGEY2

It doesn’t have a screen so you’d need to look at your computer– there’s a tiny bit of a learning curve but I found it pretty easy to use and reliable for school.

CTL-472. It’s the exact same as the CTH/CTL-480 just that it’s a different design and pen and you can actually find them.

The Bamboo series is theoretically supported on Windows 10, but it is no longer receiving driver updates from Wacom. Its driver hasn’t been updated in 5 years, so even if it works well with Photoshop today it could break in the next Photoshop update.

The Bamboo is otherwise a fantastic tablet, the hardware is great. Make sure the sale includes the pen, because it costs about as much to buy a pen as it does to buy a tablet+pen combo.

The modern equivalent is the “One by Wacom”, which is supported by Wacom’s very newest driver instead, so will have better software support:

https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Graphic-Drawing-Tablet-Beginners/dp/B07S1RR3FR

This has the same active area (approx 6″x3.7″) as the Bamboo CTH-461.

Also yes, Krita is good, but stick to the basic brushes or else you will lost and/or daunted, advice from one beginner to another 😉

I would say so yeah

The S620 has a tad bit of hardware smoothing but is overall still the best budget tablet, and people have said the pen feels a bit better, but that’s just preference

The 472 is the best tablet you can buy at the moment, no hardware smoothing and you can get some type of tennis racket grip if you need help with the pen

Are you looking for a pen tablet (no screen) or pen display (with screen)?

One by Wacom is a newer $60 pen tablet and is even compatible with Chromebook: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Graphic-Drawing-Tablet-Beginners/dp/B07S1RR3FR

If you’re looking for a pen display, it’s usually a minimum of $200. I recommend looking at Huion tablets for this: https://www.amazon.com/HUION-12-Laminated-Graphics-Battery-Free/dp/B08P1MB6FB

Also keep in mind that you’ll likely have to pay for whatever software you’re looking at, but there are plenty of free programs like GIMP.

PC Part List: Here

Tablet: One by Wacom

This one was a bit rough, especially in the Video department. I could only stuff a lower-end card in here, so he will have to turn down settings to get a good experience in Genshin and Apex. I’d highly recommend using the used market to find a better video card. Something like an RX570, GTX970, or GTX1050Ti would suffice and perform excellently for what he wants to do.

As for the Tablet, it’s the one I’ve personally used for over a year, and I can’t recommend it enough. Though it’s small, it’s still big enough to feel great to use.

Good luck!

What laptop do you have? The age of your laptop effects what tablets will work with it. Definitely something Wacom, but I’d like to be more specific if I can. Check the compatibility, but I’ve heard good things about this one: Wacom CTL472K1A One by Wacom Graphic Drawing Tablet for Beginners, Small https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1RR3FR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_qq18FbJZK40V1

And personally loved my: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303728857507 (the cool thing about this one is that the pen has two sides, one is a functional eraser. You can flip the pen over and it switches over to eraser automatically in your program and allows you to erase mistakes. It also has two buttons I used for an eye dropper and right click. This one is older and you definitely want to check compatibility if you have a new laptop.)

Thank you.

Related question: I’m trying to figure out if this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S1RR3FR/ref=dp_prsubs_2 is the correct CTL-472, since there happens to a different one also called CTL-472 that’s out of order. It’s fine if you don’t know.

You can start with making flipbooks on paper.

OR

If you want to do 2D on the computer, you’ll have a better time with a drawing tablet. This is different than an iPad/Galaxy/Fire tablet. A drawing tablet lets someone use a pen as an input to draw straight into your computer. They come in two varieties. One where you draw directly on screen and one where you don’t. The ones where you draw directly onscreen are more money and what professionals use.

Not sure your finances, but a good “Let’s see if you stick with this for a year” would be something like this Wacom. Though these kind of tablets do have a learning curve since you can’t directly see what you’re drawing. It might take a week or two to fully feel comfortable. A big tip is set the tablet directly parallel with the computer screen, not to the side (look at the Amazon pictures to see what I mean). Move shit on your desk if you have to!

If you have more money to throw around try this Huion

If you only get "the best"

Don’t bother installing any of the creative/design software you get with budget tablets, it’ll be total crap. Download the tablets drivers online so you get the latest.

Step 2 you need a program to draw and animate in.

Krita is free and popular so there’s plenty of Youtube tutorials. Take an afternoon and watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48pwrr4gPOA It’s 30 minutes but it’s dense with information. Follow along and pause the video when needed.

There’s better animation programs, but this is a relatively simple one, is a good intro to digital art in general, it’s popular so there’s stuff online, and it’s free. If you stick with it, you will outgrow this program, but I think it’s a fine starting point. Then you can move on to the paid products like Adobe products, Toon Boom, or TVPaint (or if you want to learn 3D, Blender or Maya). Though if you’re dropping two grand on the Wacom tablet above, just get Adobe CC, Toon Boom, or TVPaint.

Step 3 you need to learn how to create good animations. A good intro is these 12 videos here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haa7n3UGyDc&list=PL-bOh8btec4CXd2ya1NmSKpi92U_l6ZJd&index=2&t=0s I also think it’s important to dive in and make stuff. Animating bouncing balls for hundreds of hours is great and all, but spend half your time on doing these lessons and half your time just fucking around and making bad animations. You’ll be learning during both.

OR

If you have an iPad, you can buy an Apple Pencil and get the Procreate app for $10. It’s an art program that has animation now. I have limited knowledge of either of those.

​

TLDR:

Buy this Wacom.

Download Krita.

I found a review for that tablet…. it does say that it needs the Bluetooth connector, but IMO, if you have to save up that much just for the connector for a tablet that might not work, it might be better just to save up for a better tablet either new or actually refurbished rather than hoping the one from Goodwill does work, as there are issues brought up in the video that would make me not want the Bluetooth version in the first place.

The Wacom One for example, would actually be cheaper than buying the connector for a tablet you might not be able to work still?

If you go up a bit more, the Wacom Intuos Graphics comes with good set of programs as well as the tablet, too.
