Hello, I am fairly new to Blender, and I did some research and found out that people use graphics tablets - both with screens and without, in order to sculpt in Blender. I was hoping someone could give me a suggestion for a good quality drawing tablet without a screen for a good price; my budget is up to $100.
If someone has any suggestions, please let me know!
Thank you.
With Regards,
Immanuel
Some people will probably say what they use. Just be aware many also use a mouse. Tablets can take some getting used to if you are not used to them or hand drawing in other areas. Tablets are not some panacea to make work better.
Grant Abbitt has some videos on tablet recommendations:
(he says this is his favorite display tablet; if you don’t want display, it can be significantly cheaper)
(mentions tablet: it’s his entire studio at the time)
(a year old, but a more comprehensive list)
There are older videos but I’ll assume he’s moved on since then.
I’m sure he’s mentioned some under $100 but it’s been a while since I watched the videos.
Alright, thank you all for responding!
I have a Huion Kanvas 24 pen tablet.
Always go for a solution where you draw on a screen.
Also as NP5 suggested, using a mouse is very normal.
Use a pen tablet when working with Grease Pencil, or sculpting.
But I would say, try to work with the mouse first!
If you learn Blender in all its assets, you probably can make a better choice for a pen tablet (size, speed, connection to PC, etc.).
A pen looks fun, but for Blender, you need two hands, a pen, and a keyboard for all commands.
The larger the screen, the more you need to move your arm, left to right.
Small screen, it’s difficult to get details right.
So learn Blender first
