I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-03-2015

Please advertise at me.

Also, feel free to advertise art programs that work well with the tablets you advertise.

i don't like it when the lines i make don't show up on the screen

GIMP wasn't compatible with my particular brand of tablet, a monoprice, so I had to start using something else

Don't give shit to the best of tablets

That was supposed to be a snarky joke but for real it's amazing how reliable they are.


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-05-2015

once i tried a bamboo and i didn't like it at all. but that was a long time ago and i was a super n00b

I also recommend paint tool Sai, it's more digital-painting-dedicated than GIMP or photoshop (and thus significantly pared back without filters or the like) but it does pretty good draws


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Dalmationer - 01-05-2015

if anyone wants to use gimp but has a tablet (e.g. monoprice and wacom) that doesn't work with it, give me a shout. I have a copy of the 2.6 installer here and that version works fine.
They're /apparently/ going to add support for those tablets in 2.10 but honestly that will probably take 10 years.

I pirate all my drawing software because i am scum

You think the FBI (PF?) can't see that shit just because it's in a small font? You're going down, criminal!

Christ yes to the bamboos. If the pen hadn't died on mine + the pens for that model weren't in production anymore I'd still be using it.


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Plaid - 01-09-2015

I have a graphire (bamboo before it became bamboo) and i've had it since i was 15? So a good 8 years. Still has the original pen, functions fine apart from the scroll wheel breaking a few years back and drivers and photoshop having a longstanding feud. I'm pretty pleased with it tbh. (wouldn;t mind getting a newer one that was designed when windows 7+ was a thing though).


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-12-2015

bamboos are all pens for the ipad??


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Plaid - 01-12-2015

??????


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-12-2015

i checked the website. they're all pens. nobody seems to have suggested an ipad app so i don't know what to do


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Schazer - 01-13-2015

Oh, right.

You're wanting a tablet computer and you're wanting to do draws on it.

Most people here are talking about graphics tablets, which are a peripheral device you plug into a computer.

Here's a list someone else compiled of good art apps for an ipad.


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-13-2015

no, that is not it!! what i am saying is that the bamboos, nowadays, are not tablets. the tablets are called something else.


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Plaid - 01-13-2015

Uh, they look like they're called bamboo to me


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - Schazer - 01-13-2015

If it's your main computing device (perhaps because you're not financially independent and it was given to you) and you can't afford a desktop/laptop and drawing equipment like a graphics tablet on top of that?

why would you do that.

it's nice to see what you're drawing on the surface you're drawing on

i don't really mind either way


RE: I need a new drawing tablet - OrangeAipom - 01-16-2015

oh wait there's no pressure sensitivity? fuck that idea then. *throws it in the trash*

I know nothing on this subject. Just wanted to come on record.
