u/narcolepsyinc · 4 pointsr/comics

I use either Flash or Photoshop to make all of my comics. I know that Flash isn't made for drawing comics, but I used to do crummy little animations, and got used to the way the tools on there work.

I have a little Wacom table that I do all of my drawings on. I wish it had a bigger area to draw on, but it works for me.

Once I draw my frames in Flash or Photoshop, I put them into icomic. It's a cheap little program for macs that comes with the ilife package. That's where I make my panels and add text.

Everything I do is very low budget and probably not that professional. That's why my comics don't look as polished as a lot of the well-known webcomics.

My biggest piece of advice is this: If you want to do something, do it. If your kid wants to get into comics, any way they can make them is good. I've been making comics for six years and still get a lot of criticism for using too much text or various other things. They'll never be perfect, but they'll be theirs.

Best of luck, and if you ever want to email me with more questions, feel free to use the contact form on my site.

does he have a drawing tablet? fun and nifty, and could be really useful for design work.

u/global_nuds · 3 pointsr/graphic_design

I highly suggest the Wacom Bamboo.. when i was a sophomore in college i got this as a birthday present. I can honestly say my graphic design career as a student would not be the same without this puppy.. cheap, easy to use, and will work wonders for you in the Adobe Suites.

I used Sai Paint Tool on Windows 7 Professional. Not sure if you can use it on iOS. I drew to test out my new tablet, a Bamboo CTH-470. I might make more... What next?

It's a Wacom Capture that I got on sale for about 65 bucks. It's not nearly as fancy as some other ones out there, but I really like it so far. I'm not exactly sure what all it's optimized to be used with, but I don't see why not.

u/xDylan25x · 2 pointsr/photoshop

I used Photoshop CS3 Extended several years ago on an okay $500 laptop from either walmart or sams. It was some type of Acer Aspire from around 2011. As I continued messing around with Photoshop, I ended up buying a Wacom graphics tablet (one of these). Elements is okay for use (I still use it because I was borrowing a copy of CS3 back on my laptop and can no longer get that copy back).

Not sure about the newest ones that wacom puts out, but that one I linked (probably not made anymore) comes with a version of Photoshop that can run on almost anything.

If you want to get a desktop just for photoshop, the used PC parts route is a pretty good way to go. I built a decent PC back in the beginning of 2013. Back then, it cost me around $700, though you have to realize that it was for gaming and that I had wanted it for several years, so I was fine with spending a bit more than what I originally planned (the old budget would have given me a terrible PC (for gaming)). Right now, you could probably buy the same parts for half the price. While many people don't really recommend older parts like I used (my processor was getting "old" (outdated) back then), I still use all but the cooling fan and graphics card. Also, to make the price seem a bit more reasonable, I had to buy a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in that price, too, which is something that can be bought for very cheap or old ones reused for free.

If you want to go a cheaper route that just works, get a ThinkPad off eBay. They're used, but getting something like a T410 works just fine.
I've heard people have even ran somewhat modern 3D games on that. They're tough, though have a "meh" monitor in them. The great thing about them, though, is that they're around $150 and from my experience, only require a $20 replacement battery to work well on the go (they come with their old batteries). I'd also recommend a new hard drive, which is an easy thing to install as long as you've set up a computer before (and if you aren't comfortable with doing so, a local computer store can probably do so cheaply (you should buy a hard drive on your own, though as they'll charge you for a higher price otherwise)). I'd also recommend buying a 1080p monitor from somewhere else after buying the laptop. Here's a list. You can sort by price. I'd say don't worry about IPS, just worry about it looking good. Mine is a 21.5" Acer-not sure what model.

u/vmcreative · 2 pointsr/photoshop

You might be out of luck then. I've tried using apps like Duet which will allow you to connect an iPad as a display but I've had poor luck with getting Photoshop to display correctly on the iPad and you have to buy into their premium plan in order to use force/angle input.

Most of the time I either do the work I need to in a different app and then export to pull into PS, or I just use my trusty old Wacom Bamboo, which you can get for less than $60 these days.

u/conquer69 · 2 pointsr/DotA2

You should buy him a drawing tablet. They are very cheap and who knows, it might be the beginning of his career as an illustrator.

$80 brand new Wacom Bamboo, this is the maximum you should spend starting out.

Actually this is my first tablet but I feel like it works fairly well with photoshop and the pen feels smooth too. I'm a casual drawer so I just want a cheap tablet, turns out this is pretty good.

I have little drawing ability and do okay if I do say so myself. By using 3Ds Max and registering as a student, home schooled, I get top end software legally and free. I also use a Wacom table thing"

u/Tiff1030 · 1 pointr/graphic_design

I got this one...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HGBEZ2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002OOWC3I&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0ST9RF5EV225KP3TCEMJ

Because of the price, but for the price...It is a really nice drawing tablet. I plan to upgrade at some point, but until then this does the job. I have done a few digital paintings and many line illustrations on it...so it can do those things well. If you're on a tight budget...I would say go for this.

u/Not_Steve · 1 pointr/learnart

I'm not a computer artist. I like traditional mediums but am slowly being swayed to join in tablet drawing. I say this because you should take my opinions with a grain of salt. However, I've been hearing good things about Wacom's Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet. It carries the Wacom name that people love (and a year warranty), customizable shortcut buttons, its stylus has an eraser on the top, and multitouch gestures that will let you flip, turn, or whatever while working. It's supposed to be a little to sensitive with the pen sometimes, but that's really the only drawback I hear.

It's $69 from Amazon.

Maybe someone else can pop in and give their views on this, but as a know-nothing about CG art, this is the one I have my eye on. Good luck!

Thank you!

I'm looking at this

There are three different styles, "Capture", "Create" and "Splash"

The Splash is the cheapest, but from the description, it does not seem like it is made for "animation" necessarily. Is this the case?

u/Lilgherkin · 1 pointr/LearningPhotoshop

You're walking into a Chinese restuarant asking if they serve Italian food.

I think you're looking for /r/DigitalPainting as they're more apt in drawing with tools like Photoshop. /r/LearningPhotoShop is all about cropping/feathring/filters and just more of learning how to use photoshop for basic photo manipulation.

You'll want to start by learning how to draw with a tablet that reads pressure sensitivity. I'd recommend a (relatively) cheap one such as the Wacom-Bamboo which is what I use for 3D Sculpting in Blender and have tried dabbling in digital art within photoshop sometimes but prefer 3D Modeling more than drawing. I'd recommend the website https://www.ctrlpaint.com/ to learn more.

There's no one way to do something like this: there's a multitude of ways in a multitude of different programs. Though it seems this one is Digitally Painted based on the neatness of the lines and the brush strokes apparent in the walkway tiles the person is standing on. As an For another piece of art, Steve Argyle, created Monastery Swiftspear using both 3D Modeling and 2D Painting by creating the base of the art in a 3D modeling program, adn then painting directly over it in a drawing program.

u/loliwarmech · 1 pointr/RandomKindness

Tablet wise there's Monoprice if you're willing to put up with driver struggles and questionable quality (but when it works, it works like a dream). But for just slightly more money you can get a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch, which I would recommend over Monoprice. If you can find a Bamboo Fun that someone is willing to part with, that one is pretty good and hardy. Mine has been through a lot and the assembly on the eraser end was frankensteined onto the pen end, but it still works!

Software-wise, there's firealpaca, gimp, and krita. All of these are free.

u/revemorie · 1 pointr/learnart

There really isn't much of a difference with a tablet with more pen pressure, larger screen or more buttons, it's purely what you are comfortable with, and assuming that this would be your first tablet, I suggest getting a small tablet without a screen.

yes, it takes some time to adjust to, but it's much cheaper and better to practice with and get to know what you're comfortable with before buying something expensive. if you REALLY want a screen, then I suggest HUION tablets as they are a cheaper counterpart of WACOM, and with little difference in quality, just make sure it is compatible with your drawing software.

Some small screenless tablets:

honestly just chose tablets that popped up first + fits ur budget, the difference is really minimalistic and it shouldn't matter as a beginner since you're not adjusted to a certain way of drawing digitally yet.

u/StellaMaroo · 1 pointr/IDAP

I'm still learning. I hope to someday be able to afford a drawing tablet like this. I'm sure I could improve the quality when I get it. I started with a pencil sketch and then went over it with a marker and crayons.

Wacom is a great company, even the lower end one's will do what you need. The one I use.

Thank you, I appreciate that. It's been rough for him as he used to have a lot of hobbies like woodworking, model airplanes, etc. and not he can't do them.

That looks interesting, appears it's gone up in price as Amazon has it for $174. A good starting point, thank you!

Edit: Scratch that, I guess I was looking at an older model. Looks like it's still about $80 https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Capture-Tablet-CTH470/dp/B005HGBEZ2

Edit 2: There's also a newer model, if anyone else it looking for this sort of thign: https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Wireless-Software-Included-CTL4100WLK0/dp/B079J2FSQ7/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

u/YankeeDoodle76 · 1 pointr/computers

Wacom Bamboo. They're like 50$, great quality, and super easy to use. My mother and sister both have one, and I use an Intous4.

This is the model I am recommending. It looks like its been discontinued, so if you are looking for a new tablet, you might have to spend closer to $125. Either way, its a good product, and I have never had problems with Wacom hardware.

u/c-span_celebrity · 1 pointr/editors

A few years back I got the Bamboo which is about 6 in tall and 8 in wide.

I feel it's a too small for dual 1920x1200 monitors. That may be because Bamboos are less accurate than Intous, but I'd still recommend the Pro. Below the Pro line and there is no bezel to rest your hand on so the far right (if right handed) edges of your screen can be a pain.

The Bamboo was inaccurate enough that I gave up on the tablet experience but if I were to attempt again I'd go much futher into the deep end with a Intous Pro Medium

FYI if you really want I'm happy to sell you my old Bamboo for cheap. It's just collecting dust... I know you want it especially after I just shit talked it.

Also, while I haven't used one personally I've heard Monoprice has good tablets. And they're a lot cheaper.

u/DarKbaldness · 1 pointr/gadgets

I second this, first drawing tablet I ever got was a Wacom Bamboo Capture I have it in a box right next to me since I have upgraded to an Intuos pad but the Capture was fantastic. It is only a smudge over your top dollar but since you won't need to upgrade it for a very long time, and with Prime shipping I would say go for it.

CTH470 is what im am using now, it's my first tablet and i just started drawing. I know the feeling, you just want to get a tablet, suddenly you hear wacom every where you go. It's probably the right thing to do.

I've got a Bamboo Capture drawing tablet. I stream through my page at http://www.livestream.com/NeonGreenTiger (I think. I'll check when I get home from work). You'll need to create an account to watch, but it's free and fairly painless :). I think I'll give it a go tonight as I work on adding the lineart to a rough sketch that I have. If you like, i can message you when I start :). I'm working on learning the program and how to use it, my tablet and just working at getting better at drawing :)

u/its_the_Guy_there · 1 pointr/DigitalPainting

I use a wacom bamboo tablet
Can't find it on the official site, but I think it's similar to an intuous pro though.
