Hi Guys,
Looking for some 'real world' thoughts re the practical use of graphics tablets please so I thought I'd ask here first.
Our (nearly 16yr old) Daughter is pretty good (top set at school, stuff on the wall etc) with real / photographic / PC 'art' and I was wondering if said kit is a real 'godsend' to the PC artist / photo re-toucher or just an expensive gadget / luxury?
From Googling / asking about I think Wacom have the field sewn up and the:
There is no real 'need' as yet but just me trying to give our daughter exposure to as much kit in this field (PC, Graphics apps, camera, tablet?) as possible / practical ready for a possible career in 'Graphics / design' of some sort? (Starting with a BTEC course in 3D Design next year). If it's something she could make use of for fun (just 'fun' sketching etc) then all the better?
She seems 'lucky' in that she is equally competent with hand and computer art, plus seems to be quite imaginative when it comes to design (any school design group she is in seems to 'win' with their idea etc) so something I am keen to promote / keep 'interesting' for her.
All the best and thanks for any time / input ..

p.s. Dr Dribble, she's already got some crayons thanks .. ;-)
p.p.s. She currently has a pretty std IR M/Soft Intelli wheel type mouse. Would a 'higher resolution' one also help re drawing etc?
