>>5964651Whether it's a waste of time or not, back when I was asking myself this question, I actually just really really wanted a graphic tablet so I could get into digital art, but mostly it just sounded so cool and watching other artists work with it was like watching wizards peform magic and I just couldn't wait to get my hands on those fancy wands.
I merely questioned myself on the merit of the purchase, because it was expensive, I sucked and I really needed to do some posturing in front of a mirror and logical sounding reasoning to justify letting myself have something cool.
If you really want a tablet, you'll buy it sooner or later, regardless of what we tell you.
I would however advise that you test it out first. I have a friend who bought an intuos pro and then never used it, because they actually preferred working with pencils. As far as I know, they don't even draw anymore though, so, not the best example.
I myself got a really awful and trashy 20€ tablet that was absolute garbage, but I loved it so much, even though it was wonky as fuck. I just wanted to work digitally so bad and one of my other friends regularly worked with CSP which I thought was the coolest shit.
I could never get used to working traditionally with anything except pen and pencils, because I didn't like wasting materials and having physical evidence of my trashy drawings.
It was when my digital artist friend let me borrow one of their tablets for a while that I really understood how bad my cheap tablet was, and when I had to give the good one back, I couldn't go back and finally bought an intuos pro m.
Looking back, a cheaper model would've been just fine, it didn't have to be the pro one, but I have no regrets whatsoever.
You could wait, until you get better and buy the tech when it's more cutting edge or whatever.
But I'd say, why wait?
If you have the money, you might as well just treat yourself, OP.
