Thank you Jasonda. Also thank you all. This was great help for me.

You're welcome!

You can usually find good deals on older models on eBay. Just make sure the connector type matches your computer (USB) and that it comes with a pen. I have an older model (Intuos) and it works just fine, and it was only $150 or so.

Getting the proper size is much more important than getting the newest model, in my opinion.

While I lean toward thinking the bigger the better, it will partly come down to personal preference (there is such a thing as too big). It's definitely not necessary to buy an enormous tablet, but if you go too small it's going to be quite hard to use effectively.

What I like to do & think would work better than putting a piece of paper on your tablet is to scan the sketch in (color correctness be damned!) then add a transparent layer in your graphics program & trace the image on screen with your tablet...once you have your nice, clean, digital outline, erase the background sketch...
