Drawing Tablet for Beginner

Neames · 2020-02-02 13:25:20

My 12 year old daughter is very good at drawing and sketching. I'd like to pick her up a drawing tablet suitable for a beginner. I'm not even sure of what to suggest as a reasonable budget. All suggestions appreciated.

If she has access to a tablet there are a lot of options that use a stylus. Procreate on the iPad with an Apple Pencil is unrivalled.

In terms of PC connected drawing tablets there’s a wide range of models from Wacom. But you’ll also need some good software. Krita is free and very good. Photoshop is the standard but very expensive.
