Drawing Tablets don't have to cost a fortune

Drawing tablets come in all shapes and sizses and as a graphic designer and digital artist for over twenty years, and an extensive user of drawing tablets, I aim to bring you unbiased reviews of various Drawing Tablets on the market. You will have the unbiased information you need before you make your Computer Drawing tablet purchase.

You can take a look at my digital work here on my Deviant Art gallery, where you will find a mixture of both traditional and digital art created with drawing tablets.

If you are interested in how I produce some of my digital art, using my drawing tablet, then head over to my Hubpages, especially the How to Paint a Dragon Hubpage, which details some of the step-by-steps I took to create my dragon image using my drawing tablet.

For something completely different, take a look at another of my sites at metaldetectorrieviewsuk.com. Being an avid metal detectorist, my new site will be filling up with some great finds and content.

Dragon art – Digital dragon art produced using my drawing tablet

Digital Dragon art final stepDrawing tablets are a fantastic tool for the digital artist and as an artist dabbling in fantasy art, they offer amazing scope. Traditional art materials are a joy to work with but the sheer speed and options when using a drawing tablet is second to none.

The ability to change the overall colour of your work, orientation of the artwork, limitless undos, limitless layers, colour and brush changes at a click of the pen are just a tiny fraction of what is available to the digital artist using a drawing tablet. (more…)

Like many devices on the market today, graphics tablets have wireless and bluetooth versions. The Wacom Graphire Tablet is one such PC drawing  tablet with a bluetooth connection instead of the normal wired attachment. As a digital artist Wacoms Graphire tablet is not one I would normally recommend for digital art due to it’s size. That does not mean you can’t use it for computer art, but the size will be a little restrictive. If you want a graphics tablet for occasional or moderate use and you think you’d mostly just use it for general computer work, then the Wacom Graphire tablet is a good choice. The Wacom tablet itself has an area of about 6 x 8 inches, that’s probably no larger than most laptops which means it will fit nicely into a bag for travel use, along with your laptop. (more…)
