So I decided to buy a new graphics tablet to replace my barely used and very cheap trust tablet with battery powered pen.
I must admit for £100 quid this tablet is nice, big and amply sensitive. I am not professional artist and I did wonder if I’d get my monies worth but all those concerns quickly evaporated when I began using it.
Quickly using raster persona in Affinity Designer to sketch out the cartoon character, then vector persona to create lines and shapes, I was able to produce the above picture in a few hours.
Another great thing about a decent graphics tablet is I’m able to write up notes on my PC rather than on paper. This help me reduce replication of information say when I taking free flowing notes and then adding them to an agile production web app.
So even as a novice artist, I definetly think the tablet was a good move and a real bargain when considered against similar wacom tablets at 3 times the cost. If you thinking of getting a tablet I recommend you just paying a little more and plumbing for huion Q11 v2.
