Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Wacom Tablet and two hours of work. Animating in PS can be confusing sometimes so initial set up is key (i.e. custom keyboard bindings/actions etc plus a background layout helps to navigate/reuse and re-edit frames).

Good luck on your memeing ventures comrade!

I used a Wacon Intuos5

If you're planning to buy a tablet I suggest the new Wacom Intuos or if you have a little more cash to spend you can buy the Intuos Pro. There a few sizes you can choose but price gets high the bigger the size :)

u/medli20 · 5 pointsr/tf2

I use one of these :) I don't recommend it for someone who's just getting into drawing, though, because it's such a huge investment. I had about a decade of daily drawing under my belt before I got my first tablet.

u/Anmat- · 3 pointsr/gameofthrones

Thank you so much! Sure! This is my tablet https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY, it's an older model, I bought it a few years ago. Let me know if you have any other questions!

u/J662b486h · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

Something completely different. I use my PC extensively for photo editing and illustrating work, so I've gotten very used to using a Wacom Intuos Tablet even for gaming.

u/Dragoniel · 2 pointsr/learnart

Seems to be a nice sale on Wacom Intuos Pro Medium right now. This is considered top of the line tool for digital artists everywhere. You simply won't get anything better right now and it falls under your budget. If you miss the sale, look up the non-touch model, touch features are widely regarded as useless, might as well save some cash.

GIMP and Krita are free drawing programs held in very high regard. That should work nicely.

u/SweetMonia · 2 pointsr/wacom

Or you can get the medium-sized one, for almost the same price. Since the additional drawing space can make wonders to your art:-

u/speedrush27 · 2 pointsr/DigitalArt

would you happen to be talking about this one?

u/construktz · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

You aren't going to find a high gaming performance laptop that is convertible. Hell, most of them aren't even compatible with the digitizer pen. You'd be much better off customizing a [MSI GT60 Dominator](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&products_id=6955&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank) and then getting a Wacom Tablet to plug into it.

u/cdeghost · 1 pointr/Design

Like the guy above said, I like to lean more towards Mac but I work on both.

With that budget, I'd look at something along the lines of the ZenBook:

and use the extra cash on a Wacom tablet:

That should be more than enough to allow you freedom of both design and concept art.

u/bobbynofooot · 1 pointr/wacom

Most online retailers sell them, you could get stupidly overpriced ones over at the apple store or order a reasonably priced one off Amazon. Id say hold off on buying an adapter till you know exactly what you will need.

tablet wise....hmmmm.... if you add about 27 more bucks to what your looking to spend you could get https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EN27SHY/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all This guy. If you cant afford the medium they do have a small option https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Touch-Tablet-PTH451/dp/B00EN27ULS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505363765&sr=1-1&keywords=Wacom+Intuos+Pro+Pen+and+Touch+Tablet%2C+small that is 219$. These will just be drawing tablets and do not double as a screen that you can draw on

u/CrapDepot · 1 pointr/ArtFundamentals

Wacom Intuos Pro M and Photoshop CC. I have a graphic design background (hobby wise).

Totally unnecessary and probably way harder to learn the art fundamentals but yeah - that is the way i draw/learn.

u/lovelytrout · 1 pointr/digital_art

I suggest starting with what you have already. Download Krita, it's free. Give it a try. Lower the pixel density, set the canvas size to something your computer can handle. (smaller requires less resources)


If you cannot run Krita at all. Try paint.NET, GIMP, or any other light weight, free art program. Get a feel for digital art first, because you will need to spend money if you really want to get in to it.


I don't know what you mean by drawing tablet with a screen. Usually when someone says "drawing tablet" in the digital art world, they are referring to something like this. But these drawing tablets are never cheap, and a good one with a screen is going to cost a pretty penny.


I think you're trying to ask about something like an iPad??? I don't know what specs are like on iPads. With digital art programs, you generally need to have a powerful processor. I do all my work (even working with blender), with an integrated graphics card(crappy GPU), but I have a powerful processor. What kind of technology you need completely depends on what you want to do exactly. If you're only interested in making images to display online, then you probably don't need anything too fancy, an iPad might be okay to start with, but as an artist grows, so do their needs. If you're interested in printing, you'll need something that can handle 300dpi at whatever sizes you'd like to work with.


If you decide YES, you really are into digital art! Then think about building your own computer. If this is something you're comfortable with, it would be the best route to take in my opinion.

u/aozixuc · 1 pointr/wacom

Never seriously drawn before, but I sculpted in high school! :P Oh, I also do photoshop moderately well with a mouse. Drawing on paper is irritating since when I make a mistake my reflex is to hit ctrl z. That's what I like about the tablet concept.

Also there's money burning in my pockets. Don't wanna hear your sensible advice of getting the $70 version. What I wanna know is should I get [this thing, the old model, the tried and true model;] (https://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Tablet-Medium-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY) or should I do the the new kid on the block? I've heard there are some bugs but I like to be on the cutting edge. I also like to use functional things too.

u/ItsMopy · 1 pointr/learnart

Right. Your Intuos Art Medium is their hoobyist level product.

The main difference between the Intuos and the Intuos Pro is the pressure levels.

  1. Intuos Art - 1024 levels
  2. First model of new Intuos Pro - 2048 levels - the one I use.
  3. Just released model of Intuos Pro - 8192 levels

    Your current model has 512 pressure levels, as did my old Bamboo. I could certainly tell the difference between 512 and 2048, but I can't comment on the 8192, because I have the previous Intuos Pro model (#2 in the list above). Going by the reviews though, the just released one has some issues.

    Intuos pro also has 8 programmable buttons, plus 4 switchable modes for wheel-less rotation pad. I use the keys fairly often, and the rotation thumb pad is nice to have for canvas rotation. I've never used an Intuos Art, but it looks like these are missing.

    If I had the choice, I'd buy the same thing again, and in Medium. My bamboo was small and it was just frustrating on a 27" screen.

    There is one other alternative, there are a fair few tablets with screens in them now, some of them around the price of the Intuos Pro medium. Maybe that'd be more to your liking. I can't comment though, because I don't have one.
u/nicetriangle · 1 pointr/wacom

Yeah I saw your video about that. I'll see if I can reproduce that issue after work today and report back.

One thing worth pointing out is the older pen I'm using may not actually be a "Pro Pen". It's the one that came with this version of the Intuos Pro Medium, and I'm not 100% sure what that pen actually is called. I've found something on Amazon being called the Pro Pen and it has silver trim on it that my older pen doesn't have. The rest of the specs seem the same though.

u/morphoray · 1 pointr/buildapc

I figured at this point it might help to just send a picture for scale. http://imgur.com/a/cfTea

You can see my current laptop, a 17" Sager. Next to it is my chromebook. Below that are my backpack which almost fits the Sager and the laptop bag that I adjusted to hold it (fits holds laptop, mouse, power brick, external drive, mouse, and tablet).
The two mice are a Zowie EC2-A and a Logitech M510. If you aren't an fps nut the cheap logitech is great and the wireless dongle fits in the mouse for transport, or can be left in the usb slot with a low profile. To the right of those are one of my external hard drives, wallet, and glasses case. The TV is 22 inches and not pictured is my wacom intuos pro medium tablet which fits perfectly on top of the Sager when I travel.

So here's what I've learned. 17 inch bags are pretty much limited to satchel style bags. Even my 15.4in bag is freaking huge on my back and I could fit all of the books I needed each day + 13 inch macbook pro in there comfortably. The 17in pc's were too much trouble to carry to/from classes, but the mbp was easy and the chromebook is so small/light I keep thinking I've lost it.

Despite being a pain, I would typically switch homes every few days and having a 17in laptop was pretty nice. I'd usually throw clothes + headset in my backpack and carry two bags wherever I was going. While cumbersome, I didn't mind carry the big laptops for lan parties or visiting friends for a night. It was mostly the school environment (switch classes, waiting around, lack of outlets, crowded table) where it got in the way.

u/josephnicklo · 1 pointr/graphic_design

Hands down, the Wacom Intuos Pro. Try and find a used one on Craigslist or Ebay.



u/Uncomfortable · 1 pointr/DigitalPainting

You've definitely wandered beyond the 'beginner' stages of digital art, and are clearly pretty damn serious about it. That said, a thousand dollar investment is a lot, for something whose purpose is strictly for art. It'd make perfect sense if you were using it to generate an income in some way. Of course, that's all my personal opinion.

This is the one I was mentioning as an alternative: Intuos Pro Medium. I was working in a small game studio until just under a year ago, and all of the artists (texture artists and concept artists) were using a comparable model (I think at the time it was intuos 4 or 5). It's solid, and I use it myself. At $300 it might be a somewhat less significant investment.

Of course, it is still just another tablet.

u/Daxtinator15 · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

My friend has this. Barely used and trying to sell it

u/spiceXisXnice · 1 pointr/DnD

This is the one I have, and it's served me well for three years, though it's beginning to fritz out now, which is to be expected from a technology you use nearly every day for those three years. I've loved it while I've had it though, and am seriously considering getting another.

The model I have is the large one because I tend to use sweeping strokes, but I have friends who use smaller sizes who don't have any trouble.

u/TokyoRock · 1 pointr/buildapc

I would suggest a 1080p ISP monitor and a good digital drawing tablet.

Monitor: Acer H236HLbid

Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro

u/self-schemata · 1 pointr/Art

HB Pencil and a drawing diary with a vinyl eraser. I do both traditional and digital media.

For the more serious work, I use 300lb hotpress watercolor paper for color work and Herculene over illustration board for marker, ink, and guache. The ink floats nicely on the surface and the polyester can take a lot of abuse.

For the digital bits, I use Illustrator 10 and Painter X for color and work on a 9x12 Wacom that's older than Moses. Illustrator 10 has a few color options that disappeared in later versions and the feature was a cornerstone to my workflow. (Being able to have persistent transparency assigned to spot color without having to adjust settings for each shape). The upside is the software is no longer supported, it doesn't need authentication and compared to the current crop of Adobe's software, it's incredibly lean. Runs great in Win 7.

At home I run Painter and a light little program I picked up off Steam called Art Rage 4 (it's +/- $20).

The tablet I had was replaced this past Christmas with an Intuos Pro Medium and I taped a piece of scrap herculene over it to get a better tactile response.

I use an old copy of Photoshop CS4 for spot process separations and color adjustments.

u/wellitsbouttime · 0 pointsr/graphic_design

yes.

I got an intuos pro. there's a bunch of buttons on the side to increase workflow. one of those button turns it from pen-reactive to touch reactive. and that's fun. http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Medium-Tablet-PTH651/dp/B00EN27SHY Jus got my first tablet around the begining of the year, so I'm not that fast with it, but I've been able to make some work that I otherwise would not have been able to push without the ability to draw.

dunno if you just have stacks of cash, but the interactive monitors are probably quite pricey for what they actually offer.
