I love how it's easy to edit and play around with brushes, and it has tons of brush settings. I love SAI, it's great for drawing, and not too expensive compared to many other art/image programs. I draw my comics in SAI, with text from GIMP and frames from Cloudalpaca (though I might possibly switch over fully to Manga Studio now if I like it) So I'd personally recommend against small tablets (even if they're cheaper), though some people find them okay and easy to use so it's up to you (if possible, see if you can try it before you buy?)Īs for programs. however, I never got used to it and it was just too small to properly draw lines, so my current one was the first one I actually started properly using. It's technically my second tablet, since years before that I had a tiny Wacom. I use a medium Wacom Bamboo Fun and think it's pretty good (apparently the Bamboo line got renamed but not sure what the new name for this model is.

There's also another neat free drawing software called Krita - Meromaru of Hey Sister! uses it to draw and the quality of her comic is stunning. I hear Sai is good but I've only used it at work. There are tons of tutorials on DeviantArt and other places for Photoshop users.

I mainly use Clip Studio Paint (just recently upgraded to EX but, PRO is all you really need and it's cheaper). I wanted to recommend the Wacom Bamboo at first but I'm now puzzled by the Wacom website because now they only seem to sell Bamboo styluses (and zero Bamboo tablets).?Įdit: Almost forgot about the drawing software question. The whole Touch thing isn't really that necessary as all it does is act as like a laptop touchpad(I find it troublesome, personally lol) and the small size shouldn't be a big deal as you can learn to adapt to it. You're welcome to get one of the slightly pricier ones, like Intuos Manga, Intuos Pen & Touch Small, or Intuos Pen & Touch Medium. It's the smallest and cheapest right now. I think a Intuos Pen Small should be pretty good. I've never been able to get comfortable with Photoshop for anything other than converting files to CMYK for print, but this is entirely up to you - which program you want to work with is very much a personal preference. I personally use a combination of Paint Tool Sai (mostly for sketching, because I'm used to it) and Manga Studio 5 - aka Clip Studio Paint (same program, different name). I've heard people who bought the Yiynova-brand tablets who are happy with their choice, and they are certainly cheaper than Wacom's stuff, but I haven't had any experience with them myself, so I can't say either way. If you are able, I'd suggest going to a store and actually trying out a display model first, so that you can get a feel for it, and decide which size works best for you. If you want a tablet just to try it out, and especially if you're new to the whole thing and don't know if digital art is for you, I'd recommend going with a smaller Wacom Intuous or a Wacom Bamboo, which are cheaper than, say, any of the Cintiq models.
I'm using a Cintiq 21UX, which is 10 years old by now - and it works just as well now as it did the day I bought it. Wacom is a good brand to go with for reliability, in my experience while they are pricier than other brands might be, their products are generally good.
