Can you see your drawing on the tablet or just on the PC? As you're drawing, can you see your design both on the tablet and on the PC or just on the PC?Thanks.

You can only see it on the monitor (PC). It does allow for more natural drawing but will take some getting used to. It has pressure sensitivity so if you use it Adobe's Photoshop or Illustrator it opens up the ability to change line weight with the brushes.

The Wacom Intuos3 tablet does not display anything on the tablet itself; you have to get used to watching the PC screen as you're moving the pen over the surface of the tablet.Wacom does put out the Cintiq line of tablets which DO display your image right on the tablet itself, but of course these are much more expensive. The cheapest of these will set you back a thousand dollars, and even then, some of the people who have used the cheapest Cintiq seem to regard it as a beta product, a little rough around the edges. (There is a better Cintiq tablet, but it costs around $2000.)

oK I have pen, how does it work? Kids lost my original Bamboo stylus. I ordered the EP155EK for my Wacom tablet. But it does nothing. Surely, I'm doing something wrong?

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.

What you do on the tablet shows up on your computer monitor. They do make graphic art tablets that have displays right on them, but they can be preeetty expensive. Coordinating yourself to work with drawing on the tablet while looking at the monitor is kind of tough at first, but just work with it regularly for a month or two and it will become second nature.

this is a great drawing pad only. it's does not have a screen, everything is displayed in your screen. you can either ether it with the USB cord or use the wireless dongle that comes with it. once you get used to looking at the screen you will really like how it works. I bought my daughter one for Mac air and she's uses it all the time. I wish I could display some of her work with the tablet. we had problems with apples new Yosemite OS and the tech support had their software guys rewrite new drivers within a couple of days. this is good starting tool for tragic designers who do not want to save money.

It's funny... I had the same concerns.But there is a new driver that fixed a big portion of that.But truthfully... The tablet draws fine. Most of the jitter I saw on the YouTube demos was due to pulling lines in their software incorrectly.I put out a Web comic each week, and have no problems.Feel free to check out the lines if you're curious.1d4Rounds.comAnd contact us on there with any questions... Im happy to answer any questions I can.

The work does not show up on tablet. However, my grand-daughter loves this product. She has enjoyed many hours of drawing.

It's not a portable tablet. Think of it as another monitor that you have to connect to your computer that you can draw on with a stylus.

Hi Grayrunner! Think of this device as a mouse, and you will better understand it. If you need to do drawing, I recommend a tablet designed just for that. This device is OUTSTANDING for operating Google Earth, as compared to a mouse or even arrow keys. I find that I can operate this instrument without looking at it, and maneuver easily and smoothly. Hope this helps! (th)

Have you looked at the Wacom "Inkling"? I think the down side is that you can't draw in "real time" on the computer screen - everything is offline - but it would certainly allow you to do what you're asking about above. You can find it here: http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Inkling.aspx Good luck!

Patrick I wish I could answer your question but I try haven't a clue. I'm flying blind myself. I really can't use the tablet I haven't figured it out. So sorry.

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

Note = phone, tab = tablet :]Tablet is probably more capable, but I don't own the note and don't use my tablet for drawing. Sorry if I'm wrong. Definitely Google it just to be sure!

Thanks very much. Toony type vector art is exactly what I am going to be drawing (at least at first). I am OK with real material but have never tried with a computer. I planned on drawing directly in the Anime Studio Pro 7 but I think I will check out this Alias Sketchbook Pro you talk about.

When I installed my sketch tablet on my computer, I downloaded the files onto a flash drive then transferred the files to my computer. Maybe try the same thing?

No. I have been using this tablet for a week and I draw with my hand partially on the tablet and it does not effect the drawing at all.

I'm not exactly sure. I use the tablet for art projects as a starter. It can be used in place of your mouse though, for better accuracy. For a while, I had a very old mouse that wasn't working too well, & was using the pen as the mouse (you just hover it over the tablet & press to click, & it has the right/left button functions on it as well). Wacom, Cintiq & Intuos tablets are very different, & this was/is my first one. I'm sorry I can't be of much help.
