So you are a beginner graphic designer. And you have heard that a drawing tablet can be beneficial for your career in the long run. But how to choose one from dozens of drawing tablet brands out there? Here are some points to help with the decision to pick a tablet that is just right for you and in your budget range.
First of all, consider what size fits your need. The larger the screen, the higher the cost. For beginners, size A5 is sufficient. For convenience, pick a tablet with USB interface or Bluetooth interface (for example, the Wacom Intuos4 Wireless Pen Tablet
). Stylus pen and accessories also need to be taken into consideration, as well as OS compatibility (Macintosh or Windows operating system).

Another important point in choosing graphic tablet is pressure sensitivity. Graphic illustrators might need more control of line thickness so higher sensitivity or responsiveness is preferable.
The pros of using graphic tablet is that the tablet can be used without the need of a mouse, or can also be used interchangeably with a mouse. The cons? Cursor Confusion. Pay attention to where you put the stylus when you need to use the mouse.
