I would like to get back into cartooning and thought a tablet would encourage me. I see everyone talk about Wacom’s, what sizes do people have…ok that sounded weird 😏 are the small ones worth the money? ---

yeah the smallest is 100 and thats really all you need. Anything bigger is helpful but not needed… ---

It’s worth every penny… I have a Graphire and a 6x8 Intuos. The Intuos is more pressure sensitive and produces smoother lines but the Graphire is more than sufficient for cartooning purposes. ---

So, the graphire’s only come in 4x5? At work there’s a 12x18 collecting dust, I’ll have to see if I can make an offer on it. ---

Another thing you should look into getting…if you draw a lot and use Illustrator a lot also is Adobe’s Streamline. [http://www.adobe.com/products/streamline/main.html](http://www.adobe.com/products/streamline/main.html) What it does it takes the scanned image and transforms it into illustrator - cuts down a lot of work sometimes. Other times you still have to hand clean your design.
