Sketchpad

[softserve]

Hey, hope I'm posting in the correct thread. I'm looking to buy a sketchpad, and I don't want to trust such a large purchase to the knowledge of a sales clerk. I was wondering what kind of equipment other artists use, and if they have any reccomendations. I'm looking for quality AND longevity, so I'm not expecting it to be cheap. I just don't want to make a mistake on such a big purchase.

When you say sketchpad do you mean a tablet?

Try a wacom bamboo tablet with the pen, it is very good and only 70$

Not trying to kill your mother here...But I find the bamboo fun a bit lacking...I suggest you go for an intuos...My experience says theyre better.
And I'd go for a medium size (A4)...not the smallest one...Well depends on what you like and your PC monitor...But I'd say, the bigger the better.

I went with a monoprice tablet, and I absolutely love it. It was cheap, but it's awesome. I reccomend them to anyone else that might be looking.
