Anyone know any goood but cheap drawing tablets? I want one that can draw fine, like a fine enough line to look as if I actually drew it out on paper, no blocky big pixely lines. Keep in mind I want one thats cheap but can still get the job done, nothing too fancy, you know? Preferably below $100

I got my Wacom Tablet for $80 I think. It came with a few programs too. It's small but I like it.

I'm looking into purchasing one too... it's a split between that and a new vid card, but art > gaming so I'll most likely go with the tablet.

I guess I'm willing to spend somewhere near 100 dollars... maybe a little more...

Depending upon size and stuff.

My graphire2 was one of the best investments I've ever made.

I have an Intuos2 9x12 (Wacom), but I think it was a good deal more than $100. The Graphire is the less-advanced series, so I guess you could go for one of those or look for a smaller Intuos. Provided it's halfway decent, and you're into art, it will be worth every penny. I love mine.

A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
