Wacom Tablet


When I took the prerequisite class to this one, Basics of New Media, we used the school Wacom tablets.  I realized how useful they were and decided to buy one for myself.  It’s such a great device for editing photos.  I can’t believe how much time it saves me.  I’m sure most of you know what this is…since as I said the class we used them in is a prerequisite to this class.   As I continue learning how to draw I imagine I am going to fall in love with it even more!  For now I mostly use it for photo editing and it came in handy when I had to sign some contracts on a short deadline for a friend I recorded a song for…

When I looked at all the choices out there I saw some really cool ones with lcd screens that you can draw directly one – pretty awesome, but CRAZY expensive!  Mine is just the medium sized Intuos 4 which serves my purposes nicely.  The pen has a pretty good variety of nibs, too.  I think I chose a great starter tablet that will last until I have the funds or the necessity to upgrade.
