The designer whose name is Majel Korytar is a true professional, since he knows for sure what an artist needs. Modern artists need simple, intuitive and exact implement for self-expression. There are required place for drawing and functional tools for color controlling. The concept was named as Wacom Realism.

Wacom Realism is a set of a tablet computer and the electronic stylus. One tip of the stylus recognizes press level, other – has the color scanner. The user can switch on the scanner, touch some color with it, then Realism catches the color of the point it touched and a rim light diode reproduces this color.

 

Now I will try to answer it specifically and shortly.

The size А6 should be chosen, only you need such a small graphics pad, for example, as pair for your laptop.

I would not advise Intuos A6 therefore a difference in the price is significant, and you will not feel advantages of Intuos on such size. You should choose А5 or А4 in all other cases.

Especially for professional series Intuos Wacom offers various pens. For Bamboo fun pad these pens do not approach.

At once I will tell, in my opinion, different digital drawing pens do not give significant advantage in work therefore I consider they are superfluous frippery and waste of money.

Digital drawing pens differ with design and some additional features in work.The computer tablets for drawing recognize various pens therefore for each of them it is possible to adjust an individual sensitivity.

However in practice, an artist usually adjusts a pen sensitivity, which is convenient for work, once and doesn’t return to this question any more.

A plastic nibs of the pen is erased eventually. Depending on intensity of work and applied strength it takes 2-3 months for some types, and it takes half a year-year for another types. The nib can be got easily with tweezers and you can put another one to its place. Usually they go in a set.

 Accuracy and convenience of your work depends on the size of your working surface. Unconditionally, the size makes a strong impact on the computer tablets for drawing price.

- The smallest size is А6. Personally it is not enough for comfortable work. It is possible to draw, but a lack of accuracy is felt, it is necessary to make micromotions with a hand and to use a zoom very often to specify something in the picture.

However some artists produce real masterpieces even on such a tiny drawing tablet and they say that it is enough for them.

If you need a computer tablet for drawing for professional work or you just don’t want to have an extra headache, select Wacom – you won’t make a mistake!
So, you have such a barefaced advertizing here.
But it is based on a personal experience.
During years of work I tried to use many graphics pads, including other brands: Aiptek, Genius, Wacom (series ArtPad, Volito, Graphire, bamboo fun pad, Intuos, Cintiq, PL).

The main working part in the modern computer tablets for drawing is also a network made of wires (or printing conductors), similar to that which was in RAND Tablet (Graphic converter). This grid has a quite big pitch (3—6 mm), but a mechanism of position registration of a pen allows to receive a step of information reading which is much less than a slot pitch (up to 200 lines in mm).

 

 This computer tablets for drawing consist of a pen and a plane pad, sensitive to pushing or proximity of the pen. Also a special mouse can be applied.

"Telautograph" patented by Elisha Gray in 1888 was the first graphics pad. ElishaGray is more known as а contemporary of phone inventor - Alexander Bell.
