you could find a second hand one. sometimes people need the new, best, now. because they do it for a job. or get a working. older second hand tablet.

just watch out for scamers. like this woman I watched her video. she got scammed, the seller lied in "it 100% works". (one of the tablets you draw directly on. the charger did not work or something)

I use a Huion 1060+.
I got mine off of Amazon for pretty cheap (about $90), and it came with a bag to hold it in and a drawing glove, along with pen tips and the pen and tablet itself.
I don't know what you'd consider cheap (sorry if that sounds rude I don't mean it to ;-;), but for a tablet I think the price I got it for was nice!
It works well, and it wasn't broken or anything when i got it.
It came in a nice box haha.
Hope this helps c:

I have a wacom intuos drawing tablet. Wacom are quite a well known brand in the world of drawing tablets so if you're looking for something trustworthy that you know will be guaranteed to work then it's a good choice. The tablet itself is a good price. The one I have is usually priced at less than £100 and I bet it's less than that now. Used ones will cost even less. Another good thing is that replacements, pens and accessories are easy to source. I'm looking at buying replacement pen nibs and you can easily find some on Amazon and even the wacom website sells them I believe. If you prefer to work wirelessly you can also buy the wireless accessory so you don't have to deal with cables. I've had mine for a few years and it still works perfectly. It's a really good tablet.

I don't know if this helps or not or if it's the sort of drawing tablet you are after but yeah lol hope it helps you :3

I will definitely suggest this one until I die. I used a Wacom when I first started digital art and while it was nice, it wasn't anywhere as nice as this one. At 40$, it's a fraction of the price. It's so much more sensitive than a Wacom and can pick up softer penstrokes. The pen is super comfortable in the hand (something I struggled with, with my Wacom) and it's just a very enjoyable situation.
Best part is, if it breaks (which, mine have all lasted me 1-2 years a piece) it's only 40$ to replace instead of 100$+.

heya. i have a wacom intuos pro drawing tablet. wacom is an amazing brand and my tablet was bout 200-250 dollars at best buy. If you're opting for a cheaper tablet, you can look for new ones or get a small one from amazon that could range from 40-100 dollars. Used ones can go for either the same prices or less but you need to be careful of people scamming you.Wacoms tablets also range from small to large, all depending on price, so you have a couple good choices.

    hey everyone, I received my tablet today this morning! After some research and thinking I decided to go with the huion 1060+ (what passerby boy. suggested) and it works perfectly. I wanted to say thank you for everyone's advice as it helped out tremendously with picking out a tablet! thank you all ! 😊
