Graphic Tablets

For years the personal computer has become an essential tool in making comics. While some traditional artists use computers mostly for coloring, more and more artists are switching to a completely digital comic creation process. Using high-tech graphic tablets and state-of-the-art image editing software, a cartoonist can mimic (and even surpass) anything which can be done via traditional tools.
If you're ready to make the leap and start drawing your cartoons digitally, you'll need to make two major purchases – a graphic tablet and a graphics editing program. This article will review some of the more popular graphic tablets and software in the market, and in light of today's economy, budget has become a more important factor than ever. So we'll list options for the professional high-budget user, the average low-budget user, and the broke user.

The first thing a traditional cartoonist needs is pen and paper. Digital cartoonists, on the other hand, use graphic tablets. When it comes to graphic tablets, Wacom is the most dominant company, so we'll use their products for our comparison.
The Professional Option
Intuos tablets cost several hundreds of dollars ($229 to almost $800, depending on their type), and are intended for professional artists doing advanced digital painting. If you're even more serious and don't have any budget limits, you can go for the Cintiq – any digital artist's dream.
