Theyre a good price and seems like it might be a good place to start. They market the art tab for t shirt designs - i was wondering if anyone has used any of their products and what you thought and which one you used?

I use the Intuos Pen & Touch Medium on a Win7 desktop pc. It's brilliant, especially when used with Photoshop. It's also very good with ArtRage 5 and also with vector software.

I find a graphics tablet particularly good at placing nodes when drawing vector paths.

I use the large pro but wish I would have gotten the small or medium size. Other than it being too big it's awesome but does take some getting used to. It's great with PS brushes.

Yes, as stated above, I have the medium size which I've found excellent for my dual monitor system, but we bought the small size for my two granddaughters to use on the computers they got for Christmas and I find them to be excellent too on a single monitor system.

I must admit, I rarely use the 'Touch' option and usually keep it switched off.

I have used Wacom since the 90's. Before that, it was a lot of hand drawing, inking and airbrushing. . . and a lot of time. The Wacom really enhances your hand/eye coordination. It is a MUST tool for digital artists today. Not saying that their are artists who still use the mouse, but once you cross over, you would find it hard to go back to the mouse.

I now use a Cintiq at home, but use the Intuos at work. I prefer the Cintiq. It's about 3 times faster, but I have no problem going back and forth between the two. I rarely sketch on paper any more. Usually in Photoshop. I'll ink in Illustrator for crisp lines, or Photoshop, depending on the style.

The image is a progression from a sketch in Photoshop. Inking in Illustrator, then back to Photoshop for airbrushing.

I beliieve that Wacom are at the top of the range, but as with any tablet it will take time to get used to and it depends how good you art is, as I have a tablet and my art is crap, so it just improves my art that I might draw with a mouse.

I use a roller-ball mouse for all vector work and some raster. For airbrushing, painting, smudging etc. I'll use the Wacom.

Yeah, I really like it too.

I don't think you need the super sized on in my experience.

Perhaps someone else can chime in there, but I seem to prefer the medium/small one.
