As stated above, I am not an incredible artist. As a "beginner" artist I don't know if it is worth to spend $200 (more or less) on an art tablet.
Obviously, practice makes perfect.
It seems the Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet is recommended. Or any Wacom tablet that is... I am guessing if I do ever buy one that I would rather get a quality one instead of a cheapio one.
Also, the Wacom Bamboo comes with "the software" if I read that correctly?
I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to art software... I've always just stuck with pencil and paper
The other thing, I love photo manipulation. Taking a real time photo, but then changing it to look like a painting. Or it having a mystical non-reality atmosphere to it. Are you able to do that kind of photo editing with an art tablet?
Or is it worth it just to work with the software GIMP for now, without an art tablet? I was going to try it either way.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Please send me your thoughts and opinions ^_^
