How to choose a tablet for drawing

In the modern world, so much has been invented to realize the creative possibilities of man, that the creators of the past can only envy. This and 3d drawing, and work in Photoshop, and vector programs for designers. However, such a variety of choices implies difficulties with the selection of the right things. But as progress does not stand still, it is simply necessary to introduce technical innovations into your work or leisure.
Those who love to draw, probably know what a tablet for drawing. And since many have long been drawn to the computer field, the usual drawing board has become electronic.
So, a graphic tablet is a kind of device that allows you to enter images drawn into your computer by hand. It consists of a flat plate with a flat sensitive surface and a pen. This device allows you to accurately reproduce the drawing by hand. If you look at the screen in the process of drawing, you can see that the cursor moves on the computer screen after the pen that the person moves on the tablet. Also there are tablets to which besides the pen there is attached a special mouse, which works similarly to the pen.
A drawing board will be an indispensable help for you, if you like drawing, photographing or doing vector graphics. It will help to reproduce in an electronic form those images that were previously available only when drawing by hand. For a design company, this will also open new perspectives: fonts and logos drawn by hand are rare and unique. In addition, the tablets have a set of tools that allow you to make brighter and more unusual images.
Selecting a tablet model for drawing
We will assume that you have already decided that you need a drawing board. It remains now to decide on the model.
When developing the tablets, the latest achievements of science and technology are used, and with each year there are more and more advanced models.

When choosing a tablet, you need to focus on the model that best suits you not only in terms of functionality, but also in size.

Tablets are divided into three types:
1. Models designed for drawing. They have the format from A6 to A4 and a lot of necessary functions and tools for transferring the drawing from hand to graphic appearance. Equipped with a pen, and sometimes with a mouse.
2. Models, which are a kind of hybrid tablet and monitor, which realize the dream of drawing directly on the computer screen. This type of tablet appeared relatively recently and is considered the most perfect.
3. Small tablets with limited functionality, which are considered more office equipment than a drawing gadget. Their functions will not allow the artist to realize his intentions, however such tablets are more often used for signing documents in electronic form. This type includes an electronic notepad - an A4 file folder, in which you can record as in a regular notebook, and then transfer them to a computer.

When buying a tablet for drawing, you need to pay attention to the main characteristics:

1. The size (both of the whole tablet and of the working surface itself) is important when you determine whether the tablet will stand on the table or you are going to move with it. The working area should be related to the working area of your monitor, so as not to lose space.

2. The resolution of the professional tablet should be 5080 dpi, 2040 for amateur drawing.

3. The accuracy and sensitivity of the pen are important for the naturalness of the drawing. Modern tablets "understand" 2048 levels of pressing the pen, which allows you to transfer the fullness of the manual drawing.

4. The accuracy of the mouse (if it is).

5. The angle of inclination is an indicator of the angle at which the pen can be placed to the tablet.

6. The working height of the pen is the height at which the pen can be above the tablet without touching it.

A tablet is a true gift for those who like drawing. Any action, whether step-by-step drawing of a landscape or an animal, a portrait or a still-life, will become more interesting, and most importantly - it will be possible to place the fruits of your work in the public access on the Internet!

As for the manufacturers, then, perhaps, it is worth paying attention to Wacom, but at a price it is not available to all. If you want a quality tablet, then you can try those that produce Genius or Aiptek. They are about the same in quality, have a number of drawbacks, but given that they are cheaper than Wacom, you can get used to these shortcomings.
