Tablet Recommendations
6 years ago
Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. Was going over some christmas stuff and decided to gift myself a new tablet but wanted to see if anyone on here has some good recommendations.
Right now I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch that I've had for around 7 years now. Only problem that ive had with it is that occasionally when I'm not actually using it and the pen is else where it freaks out the mouse until I unplug it or let the pen rest ontop of the tablet.
Tried getting one of those fancy new ones with a screen so you dont have to look up at the monitor a while ago but it ended up having some hard lag, so I had to return it. Was called a Parblo 10.1 inch coast ten graphics drawing tablet, so probably gonna stay away from that one.
So any recommendations for a tablet?
Also since were already at it maybe whats a good digital art program. Was debating on trying photoshop since I've been only using SAI for pretty much ever.

I am also looking for a drawing tablet with screen as I am trying to make the step from traditional to digital, and I am probably going with those! ^^
As for art programs, I recommend CLIP studio paint. It's not quite as feature rich as Photoshop in a number of ways, but it doesn't have a ridiculous subscription price attached to it. Plus the ability to fiddle with tablet pressure sensitivity for each individual brush is a big plus as far as I'm concerned.
As for programs I've been hearing alot about clip stuido. Only real reason I wanted PS was because I heard they had alot of interesting brushes. So may go an see if clip has a trail thing I can mess around with.
If you're looking for something that's like what you had now. Get an XP-Pen Deco Pro.
Got their $400 model and couldn't be happier.
