HI,
I wanted to ask you if you have looked at other tablets than Wacom?Wacom does tend to be expensive and It breaks easily.I stopped using Wacom when I went on Amazon.com and discovered "Turcom.""Turcom" draw tablets and pens are a lot cheaper than Wacom,they tend to be larger,and they are not as "breakable" as Wacom.--I was surprised, I even dropped the Turcom tablet a couple times, it kept working.You have to put a tiny battery in the pen,but its easy.--I'm very pleased that I switched drawing tablets and got the less expensive Turcom.If you go on the Turcom website, also, they sometimes have sales.If you can gradually save your money,a llttle at a time, you can save up for it.I hope this helps you.I thought it was awkward at first but drawing and painting on a computer is great.
(Before I got a tablet,I got a cheap"touch-pad mouse" to draw with, like Adesso touch-pads ,and I could draw with my fingers.)The touch-pads are usually cheaper too. OK, I'LL stop telling you what to do, heh heh.==sorry for being bossy.I hope this helped a little.Have fun!
