Artistic joy on a tablet

"Anyway, enough is enough. Us two grumpy so and so's can let the rest of TG be now, I think".

I totally agree Paul, I apologize for being so hasty but without causing any problems, can you or anyone give any advice to my questions in #20.

I will keep this short as possible. With the Wacom by the best that you can afford, not too big. Download the 30 day trial for Sketch Book Pro and see what you think for the PC. Also you might be as well to buy a Android tablet as some of them are as cheap as your Wacom will be, then you can try Paper 57 and others. You will have the benefit of a mobile computer and a sketch pad and you will experience the joy that Paul is talking about.

I would imagine that a cheap android might be a bit of a gamble - some of them aren't great in terms of touch sensitivity - I didn't even know Paper 57 existed outside of the iPad.

Looking around at the stylus market ( for iPad anyway ) opinions seem all over the place. For the moment I've ordered a cheapo one TeckNet 2 in 1 Micro-Knit Fabric Tip Capacitive Touch Screen Stylus Pen and Fine Ball Pen

- excuse the copy and paste font - ( I have plenty of 'free' ones that are rubbish ) and some people seem to think that some models can make you end up scratching the screen if used without care.

Thanks very much to Albacore and Paul for your feedback with regard to #20. I think I will buy to start with a Wacom and download the 30 day trial of SketchBook. Thank you both for your advice and recommendations
