A good place to get started, if a bit of a Wacom pimping, is this tablet guide written by one of our own forum members. It covers a LOT of valid points, but here are a few more.
What size?
Tablet size often correlates to your screen size. A small tablet on a huge monitor is going to be no good, as your hand movements will be too large for accurate drawing. A huge tablet on a small monitor is almost as pointless, although good for detail work, and very expensive.
Also think if you want it to be portable or not - an A4 (9x12") tablet isn't going anywhere but a desk!
Size also correlates to your hand gestures. Do you draw small and detailed? If so, get a smaller tablet. Do you huge large, sweeping movements? A bigger tablet is what you want!
Finally, aspect ratios. If you have a widescreen monitor, seriously consider Wacom's new range of Intuos3 Wide tablets, which are mapped for the 16:9 ratio of widescreen displays.
My tablet is broke!
Please, contact the technical support of whoever makes it. We can recommend things, but contacting technical support is by far the best way to go, and reliable.
To finalise. Please don't post a graphics tablet post if your questions are answered by this thread

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |
