  1. Is a Graphics Tablet worth it?

    Since I'm learning how to draw, I was thinking about buying a Graphics Tablet.

    I read some reviews, searched some sites and I found a pretty cheap one. Now I know, cheap stuff probably isn't going to deliver the best quality, but there's one I found for about ~€80 (Cheap, compared to the other models) with amazing quality for it's price.

    But there are some things I still want to know..
    Do they really give you the "drawing-feeling" as you get from drawing on paper?
    Or doesn't it react good enough to draw accurate?

    PS: http://www.trustedreviews.com/peripherals/review/2007/08/02/Wacom-Bamboo-Graphics-Tablet/p1 , This is the one I'm intrested in.

    Depends on the size, I'd recommend getting a small tablet, I was an idiot and got a A4 one when really all I needed was A5.
    Over time you get use to them and it becomes a second nature to drawing, very useful for sketching up stuff that wont scan.

    @ Dark:And that's based on what?
    Did you use one yourself?

    Yeah I have some half decent Wacom one somewhere that I don't really use :P

    If you plan on doing a lot of drawing they're useful, but otherwise don't bother.

    I've been wondering this too...I guess you need a program that can give you a decent resolution on the lines, rather than blocks of 4-or-so pixels for each movement? =/

    Thanks for all the replies so far.
    Decided that I will buy it since I am going to do a lot of drawing in the near future.
