Monkey's Art Dump

[MonkeyGirl18]

I just got mine because I wanted the same kind I used in school. It's smaller than the one I used in school, but looks and works the exact same way (same brand too). Idk how to really give good advice other than to research the different tablets out there. Mine was $75, which was actually on sale for like $69 or something when I actually bought it.

That's an excellent buy :0 only $70? which model did you get monkey?

I wanted to save for a wacom intuos... which is around $270. I wonder if I can make that much money with commissions since my part-time salary will be for my education T____T

On Amazon, it said Wacom Bamboo.

On the box, it says One by Wacom...


Of course, most of the things it came with were in Japanese. There is some English, but the instructions were confusing because of it. Obviously, I figured it out pretty easily.

[Kyndreth]

Hum... I'm gonna get wacom then... uh... the "Wacom Intuos Draw CTL490DW Digital Drawing and Graphics Tablet" maybe? Or the Wacom Bamboo or Wacom One.

Searching...

Oh, it's the "Wacom Bamboo One" that's why it said Wacom One...


Hum... the reviews sorta scare me...

[Gingerale]

what a deal! that seems very inexpensive, Monkeygirl and it sounds like you are happy with it?

[MonkeyGirl18]

of course

[Gingerale]

well, it seems cheap enough that if the reviews aren't so good, like Kyndreth seems to be thinking, that it might not be a big deal? Hopefully it will last for awhile and suit your purposes.

[MonkeyGirl18]

The one I have has a 4.2/5 star rating. And it's pretty good in my experience with it when I got it.

[Kyndreth]

Hm... ah, yeah, I'm just reading some of the reviews for some of the tablets I was looking at. Some talking about driver issues, quality issues, bugs, breakdowns, etc. Relatively, the percentage isn't so bad, but it still makes me nervous about spending XD

[murmurlade]

The One By Wacom Bamboo seems pretty good!
Wacom's great cos of the customer support and the large user base, you can easily get bugs fixed.

[MonkeyGirl18]

The one by wacom bamboo, I know, has had driver issues before that wacom fixed by adding a driver installation to their installation disc so that it would work on your computer.

[Kyndreth]

True, wacom bamboo create or something was the tablet I lost :/ Dangit.

And the One seems pretty closs (rating/review curve-wise) to the bamboo create.

[murmurlade]

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, I recommend Kanvus and Genius brands......

But if you're gonna get one, better get a cheap one. Cos it's not worth it to get an eggspensive tablet from those brands when you can find a better one from Wacom for slightly higher prices.

[Kyndreth]

Ahhh, I didn't see those on amazon, so... *shrugs*

[MonkeyGirl18]

I thought this would be an interesting idea....

Post a picture I drew 9 years ago and post a more recent picture to see how far I've come.


Drawn on Jan. 13, 2008:


Idk the date, but was prolly the same year, 2008.



A more recent pic:

That was me trying out different ways of drawing and trying to color..... it's bad, but I decided to make it my profile pic on dA, lolol.
