So much choice and so many questions. Which one to go for? If you're new to digital drawing you may be thinking of whether it's worth buying a digital drawing tablet that has a screen, or one like this (Wacom CTL-490DW-S Intuos) which has no screen. And is much cheaper! Best thing to do if your just starting out is to play it cautious, get a slate style (no screen) so that you can become familiar with the kind of technique that is required to effectively work on one of these devices. You will get the hang of it very quickly I'm sure.
Check Availability
Two brands that are certainly great choices are Huion and Wacom. They both offer some great slate style cheap graphics tablets that are surprisingly cheap, yet brilliant quality and capable of producing superb artwork. Just so you're aware. These types of slate style tablets for drawing are not stand alone computers. They need to be plugged into either a Desktop PC, normal tablet (with some CPU power + good amount of RAM) or a Laptop. Most of them easily connect via a USB port. Check out the unboxing video above.
The Wacom CTL-490DW-S Intuos is a great starter model. A nice cheap introduction into the digital art world. It is a very capable little machine. You can draw, sketch, edit and paint. It's pressure sensitive, works great with Photoshop, GIMP. Coral, Adobe Suite and Serif Drawplus 8 (along with hundreds of other programs), and comes with a nice Wacom Pen.
Compatible with Apple Mac and Microsoft Windows. For the price this is a really good tablet made by one of the leading companies in this field. It's available in Blue, White or Black. Two great alternatives worth checking out if you can't find this particular model for sale at the price you expect (it has become more expensive of late), are the (Wacom One) Wacom CTL-672 and the XP-PEN G640. Both are cheap to buy and offer a high quality drawing experience for novice and more experienced users considering the price of each device.
