    Tips On Choosing The Best Drawing Tablets For Animation

    Knowing your skill level as an artist and understanding your goals will clarify the process of choosing digital tablets. You must also know the medium and scenarios you’re most interested in so that your purchase will be effective. Without a clear goal in mind, you may risk spending more or less money than you should.

    A 3D modeler or sculptor may not crave advanced functionality when they are using a drawing tablet. They rarely need their tablet to feel like pen and paper because that isn’t the medium they’re mimicking. They may still want pen pressure and high resolution to get the most out of 3D animation or sculpting. Using a drawing tablet for 3D work will often expand productivity.

    best drawing tablets for animation

    It’s easy to find an animation drawing tablet with a pen, but reflection is required if you want to find one that works well for you. Don’t waste money on a tablet that has significantly greater functionality than you need. Expensive tablets are not a good option if you haven’t reached a professional level or don’t intend on working your way there.

    Artists with a decent skill level in non-digital analog art will also benefit from making large investments. It’s wise to avoid underspending because that might sabotage your ability to grow. If you don’t want to be a casual doodler, don’t buy a cheap tablet that’s mostly suitable for casual doodlers.

    Big animation studios commonly have huge and advanced drawing tablets in their offices. They have the funds for it and they’re also skilled at their craft. As you become more experienced, you’ll develop a deeper need for a larger and more advanced drawing workspace.

    Animation has a particular need for intense concentration and attention to detail. If you take this path seriously, you’ll naturally gravitate towards higher-end technology.

    Factors To Consider When Buying A Drawing Tablets For Animation

    Certain specifications must be considered when you’re purchasing a drawing tablet for animation. There’s an extensive number of factors to consider, but we’ve condensed a few to make everything easier.

    animation drawing padSize

    The size of your digital drawing tablet will have one of the largest and most noticeable impacts on your digital art experience. Professional artists often gravitate towards large tablets, and beginners tend to lean towards small and portable ones.

    Battery Life

    If you’re interested in portability, it’s even more important to consider the battery life of your tablet and the pen that comes with it. You may prefer a self-charging or battery-free pen if you plan on moving your drawing tablet around.

    A screen of the Display

    The display screen will also have a major and noticeable impact on your experience with digital art and animation. Some tablets come without a display screen for a cheaper price, but they do not feel as natural as pen and paper. Tablets with display screens provide this natural feeling, but tend to be more costly.

    Pressure Levels

    Some tablets don’t provide pen pressure. Any lines produced on them will be thick and continuous. Screens that respond to pen pressure and angle are more preferable to experienced digital artists. From an artistic perspective, there’s no point in using a tablet that cannot detect pen pressure very well.

    Programmable Buttons

    Switching between applications can be cumbersome and frustrating for busy artists. If you’re pressed for time or too impatient to fuss with navigating your computer, it helps to have programmable buttons on the side of your tablet.

    Digital drawing tablets often include buttons with customizable functions so that artists can hasten their workflow. This is useful for advanced projects that include 2D animation.

    Functionality

    The functionality of your drawing tablet can be simple or complex. Some tablets are merely sensitive pads that take input from a pen. Others have software installed or work as monitors for external devices. They may even have a touchscreen to take input from your fingers. Your personal workflow and goals will depend on the functions of your drawing tablet.

    Specs

    Many specifications must be considered before you can make an effective and clear-minded decision. A wide variety of digital drawing tablets are available, but by knowing your specific goals and understanding how these devices function, you’ll have an easy time narrowing your search.

    Pro tip: Getting a good tablet for drawing is a necessary tool for artist, but keep in mind that you need a good printer that able to print your graphic design with high resolution.

    Drawing Tablets FAQ

    Are drawing tablets worth it?

    Your goals as an artist determine the overall worth of a drawing tablet. If you want to be a clay sculptor or an acrylic painter, then drawing tablets aren’t worth it.

    If you want to be a 2D and 3D animator or graphic designer, a drawing tablet will serve you well. Drawing tablets are worth the purchase when they meet your needs and function decently. They eliminate the need for messy clean ups and make the revision process easy.

    Are drawing tablets hard to use?

    best animation drawing tablet for beginnersDrawing fundamentals are the same regardless of whether you use digital or analog mediums. Your understanding of proportions and geometry is relevant in the world of digital art.

    Being a digital artist also requires computer knowledge and may be challenging for individuals who aren’t tech-savvy. There is a very apparent learning curve present with these devices.

    Are drawing tablets with screens better?

    Many artists prefer to see their artwork appear beneath their hand. Drawing directly on the screen is far more intuitive than using a tablet with no screen.

    A drawing pad for computer animation often needs a screen due to the complexity of the craft. Beginners sometimes benefit from tablets without displays, so the answer to this question usually depends on the needs of the artist.

    What drawing tablets do professionals use?

    Professionals often use large-sized tablets with advanced functionality. The drawing tablets they use aren’t portable because they’re massive. To a professional, their tablet is a stationary easel. Good animation tablets act as desktop monitors that remain in one place. They are often found in major animation studios or university classrooms.
