My boyfriend very vaugely mentioned wanting a drawing tablet for christmas.

As a person with no artistic talent, I'm honestly at a loss. All I know is he would like one that doesn't have to be connected to the computer (basically so we can hang out in our living room and he can draw while his desk top is in the office) so the drawing itself needs to actually appear on the screen.

The only ones I've been able to find have been hooked up to the computer in order to see what you're drawing. And I don't necessarily want to spend an insane amount of money either.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

: Pixelation problem, beginner, custom brushes As a complete beginner, I'm using Gimp for animated gifs. I created lots of custom brushes for universal in-betweens: faces, eyebrows, arms, lips, etc..

For onscreen drawing, you either drift towards something expensive, or something with low precision. Like a Cintiq, an Android tablet/iPad + a pressure responsive stylus, etc.

There are some nice quality Chinese Cintiq alternatives, but they're still far above the average price of a Tablet.

For not directly onscreen drawing, Wacom tablets usually are sure shot. They can be both high quality and affordable.

You can find one for as low as , or even less if you go after a used one.
The Bamboo Series (now deprecated) can be found for incredibly low prices, although its support has been discontinued, newer drivers exist for Mac but not for Windows.

The current equivalent is the new Intuos Family, the CTL-470 and 480 have a fair price range and its quality is very satisfying for either pros and amateurs.
