Would this be ideal for drawing in as a routine sketchbook or pad?

It will not open flat like a spiral sketch pad and I'm not sure it has archival properties. Otherwise if you want quadrille to work with, yes. I know many that use it as a notebook.

I use it for drawing websites and taking notes. For actual sketching any basic drawing pad would work better but if you are lets say doing home design, architecture, web design or grid based art this would work fine.

Yep, u have a lot of space in there. U might have space for your surface with cover. Sketchbook, totally! There is a video on youtube u can watch, just search for casecrown

Not for that. I use my Surface Pro 3 for drawing and the 23" for controls and reference.

Yes, that would work fine with this tablet, in fact, when people complain to Wacom about the fact that they can't lift up the top to put something under it for tracing, they suggest placing under a clear sheet. It seems to have a pretty decent distance to which it can recognize the pen pressing down on it, but I haven't exactly measured it.

Although the active area of the tablet may map to your monitor size, the size of the active area still matters. From my exp, the small and even med Int4 are "writing" tablets because the active area is too small for the strokes adults make when drawing. Personally, I wouldn't go under a 12 x 9 active area for drawing...which, for the "starving artist", means looking at alternative brands to wacom.

No, the tip is too fat and mushy for that. This seems more useful for scrolling, flipping pages and clicking on icons etc. It is just not suited for drawing or note taking as far as I can fell.

Can't answer that according to your needs; I don't draw! Use it for fine script in my journal, letters, etc. Seems a very fine nib to me.

Yes, I store Copic Sketch and Copic Ciao markers in mine. It works great for both!

Yeah, I would say so, it's more focused on the digital art market. I'd suggest saving a few bucks and starting off with a Bamboo at first, learning the software as you go. It has a lot less pressure sensitivity and is perfect for just being able to manipulate the mouse like a pen. The Intuos has almost 2000 different pressure levels and high amounts of control making it ideal for people drawing and digital painting on their pc's.Hope this helps!

I am a writer, and I like the responsiveness of the nib. But, I think it would be a good sketch pen as well.

Perhaps but it's much, much thinner. My problem is, if I'm working on a project/sketch, I shouldn't have to recap the pen every time I'm holding it in my hand thinking of my next step. If that's the case, it's basically useless to me.

I use this tablet in Photoshop myself, and it does make it a lot easier to do touch ups. You can probably even go with the small tablet if your mainly using it for PS and LR. I don't see this tablet as an overkill, I look at it as another tool to add to my creative flow. If you do decide to purchase the Wacom tablet, I would recommend purchasing the POSRUS surface cover on Amazon. It makes the drawing surface a lot smoother, and it gives it a better feel when it comes in contact with your pen. I hope this helps you out.

Yes! The tablet is more than worth it. I'm a professional graphic designer and I use my tablet almost daily. Some of the frustrations that I've been reading about can be fixed. You have the option of adjusting the sensitivity so you don't wear down the nibs quickly. If I kept my settings at the default, I'd have no nibs left. Also, the medium size is perfect for illustration. I know some photo retouch artists also and they said that the medium tablet is the perfect size. You can try the large, but it might almost feel too big, even for extensive illustration. There's also an ExpressKey called Precision Mode which slows down your movements so you can really focus on a specific area. I highly recommend this tablet. I don't know what I'd do without mine! Hopefully this helps.

Yes. If you look closely at the photo, you will discover that the sketchbook shown is 9 X 12 inch, which is both wider and longer than the paper you want to accomodate. This is an accurate photo, as I sometimes carry my own 9 X 12 inch wire-bound sketch book in this case. It is also deep enough and wide enough to accomodate many other art supplies or other items. I should also add that the case is slightly shaped like a funnel, with the bottom being smaller than the top. The bottom accomodates 9 X 12 media, while my 10.75 X 14 inch drawing board will not lie flat in the bottom of the case, but rides well on top of other items I have placed in this case.

Since it can only draw inside of computer programs, yes. Think of it as a fancy mouse and you've got the right idea.

Yes, it is pressure sensitive, which is probably why the tips wear out so quickly. No experience with Android or Autodesk's Sketchbook.

I would. The brushes are great for designs, the dotting tools have a wide variety of sizes & everything has held up very well since I got mine about a year ago. Great quality.
