Graphire is better then Volito... but Graphire is more expensive.. So it's up to her to decide if she needs the features or if she has the money to get the Graphire.

Yeah... But what exactly is it that makes the Graphire better, if you have the same size as a Volito?
π: 0 β©: 1
Volito only comes in 127,6 x 92,8 mm size... while Graphire is available at 208,8 x 150,8 mm. The Graphire also have twice as much resolution then the Volito + two ExpressKeys...

Yes, But let's say you have two tablets, one Volito and one Graphire. Theyære the same size, and you never use the expresskeys. Then how much better is the Graphire?

Only noticeable on a advanced level...

Ah, okay. My girlfriend (who is going to buy a Wacom) is thinking about the Graphire or Volito, but if there's not much change she will notice, I guess she should go for the Volito?
Also, I'm sorry to bother you like this, but since you're one of the best digital painters I know of, could you please give me some critique on a drawing I'm making at the moment? I would love to hear your thoughts about it
Here's the link [link]

Hey talentvolle zuiderbuur
Goed gedaan!
After messing around with a mouse for awhile I started thinking I wanted/needed a tablet if I wanted to make better work.
The prices of the wacom tablets put me off a bit. Spending hundreds for something that you never used before and don't know what it can do for you, can be scary. So I got me a Trust tablet. With its 9"x12" (228 x 304 mm)worksurface for around $120 (little over 90 euro's (where is tha darn euro character lol)). That's a pretty good deal. But Trust products aren't always very reliable. I've had speakers, keyboards and mouses from trust. They'd all end up in the garbage because they just quit working or were totally crap.
I guess I was lucky with this tablet. 'Cause I've had it for almost a year and it still works good.
I'm sort off saving for a Wacom now. I'm very interrested in the pen tilt and the 1024 pressure sensitivity. Trust pens are 512.
Still one question.
Like with the Intuos4 in yout tut. You have an activefield of 12.7 x 10.1. That's not really big. Is having a bigger area to work on a lot more comfortable or does it not matter that much and is it just something you get used to?

Intuos has A6 to A4 tablets, so there is choice enough.... The thing with Trust is that they have batteries in the pen... Wacom doesn't need that...

*Pssst!* they do up to A3 Wide tablets..
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, Intuos has those for 866β¬.

That explains the cramp in my hand I sometimes get
But is working with a bigger tablet easier, faster and/or more comfortable then a smaller one?
π: 0 β©: 1
Well... I worked on a A4 tablet...that's cool, but I prefer a A5 tablet...

Thats what I wanted to know.
Dank U.

hm i own a volito2 and it works pretty good for me
π: 0 β©: 1
I had a volito too in the beginning (just a few days, I borrowed it) and once you try out wacom, you'll never want to go back, the difference is huge. The first two tablets really suck for digital art.

volito IS a wacom... 'doh

Thank you for uploading this! I'm looking for a tablet myself, and this is sure to help me decide ^_^

Dus aan je tutorial gezien had ik beter de intuos kunnen kopen? (ik heb op t moment de wacom graphire 4) Maar aangezien jij met de 3 werkt moet dat voldoende zijn ^^. Btw, misschien iets voor jou, je kunt op site van mangarevolution een cintiq winnen, je moet maar eens lezen hoe het moet... Ik weet dat manga niet jou ding is, maar ik denk dat jij met jou talent dus een kansmaker aangezien niet iedereen pure manga tekent op die site.

Ow...zou wel cool zijn... Heb je daar een link van?

I have a Trust and wish I hadn't. The pen feels like it is gonna break and all plastic-like. My next will be a Wacom for sure.

Ja, dat staat in de tutorial zelf, he...

Hoe komt het? Je kan dat nochtans wel gebruiken, he? Om je tekeningen te verbeteren als je ze ingescanned hebt?

Trust - remove that notice... because I've heard of so many people warding others of them. Other then that...
It's a very nice tutorial in a clean layout. Kool. Kinda wish I knew this stuff before i brought it...
π: 0 β©: 1
That's the main reason I wrote the tutorial. Many people have no idea about price and tools. I hope they will figure out what to buy now.

Not only a great tutorial, but designed so nicely, too!

Finally something I can hand to people with the "what's the difference in tablets" question.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well... in #digitalmedia it's always been a daily conversation... It became boring to tell the same story over and over... That why I wrote this one.
