Thank you! I'll look into itMonoprice! They're amazing for cheap tablets, and honestly they've got a money back within 30 day guarantee if you don't like and wanna send back the product, so they're perfect for simply testing it out to see if you like, then keeping if you do!
A wacom bamboo won't set you back that much.Does anyone know of some decent drawing tablets for someone who doesn't have a lot of money?
Yeah, I was thinking about that oneA wacom bamboo won't set you back that much.
I would seriously suggest getting a Wacom Intuos tablet - they're wonderful tablets, with a variety of simple cheap ones to ones with all the bells and whistles - and most important of all, the fucking cord is replaceable. Every single tablet I've ever had, including the Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch, died simply because the cord shorted out. The Intuos's cord plugs in externally and is easily replaceable - it's a micro USB cable, which most phones and tablets use, these days.Does anyone know of some decent drawing tablets for someone who doesn't have a lot of money?
My friend just suggested this one to me, so I may get it once I research a little moreI would seriously suggest getting a Wacom Intuos tablet - they're wonderful tablets, with a variety of simple cheap ones to ones with all the bells and whistles - and most important of all, the fucking cord is replaceable.

If you don't have a lot of money I'm sure you're looking for reliability, too, so you don't have to replace it every year like I did. My Intuos is the "Small" and it's lasted me four years now, and works exactly like it did when I first got it. This is the specific version
But I'm sure they have updated models.
Try having had to purchase over 30 70$ pens due to dogs... that's over 2k, I coulda got a cintiq with that.I'm that not-a-Wacom-fan voice in the crowd.
Overpriced, overhyped, and woe be unto the person who loses or breaks the stylus pen for one.
For scope, I owned a Bamboo MTE-450, before the subsequent rebranding and shuffling of the line over to Intuos (and Intuos being pushed over to Intuos Pro). I physically broke the stylus -- it somehow ended up under a bedpost and slept upon for a few nights. Bent the pen. At that time, a replacement stylus ran me $40.
Finding a replacement stylus for the same tablet this year became an act of futility, as Wacom no longer supports the tablet, and no longer sells spare parts for it in the USA.
The button position on the Bamboo (and later Intuos-but-not-really line) is absolutely abysmal. Why place the buttons at the top of the device? They should be on the left side, and use a driver option to flip the tablet for people who need them on the right.
That said, anything with a UC-Logic digitizer in it from the last few years is generally a safe bet. I've got a Monoprice 10594, which is a clone of the Huion H610Pro. Eight left side buttons. Easily replaced stylus if I manage to damage it, as the Huion pens are interoperable, as are Parblo, Turcom, and a few others that are clones or derivatives of this tablet.
