Graphics tablets..

[Spuddy]

So as a hobby and a method of helping me revise for all my exams I would like to use a graphics tablet to create small videos around the subject I'm learning.

To get a better example of what I mean, I use channels such as this a fair bit when revising for my exams...

However the only problem is, these videos tend not to go into enough detail and only give general overviews. So creating my own would solve this problem and (I hope) be an effective way of helping me revise.


I dont want to spend a lot of money on one, less than £100 really so probably looking at some eBay one or something? I really don't know.

One question I do have though is, can you actually see what you're drawing on the graphics tablet itself, or does it not act like a monitor/screen?

Id ideally like one (if they exist) so I can see what Im drawing on the tablet when I put pen to screen, so to speak. Does that exist?

I'd like recommendations too for a decent tablet within my budget, which ones to avoid too etc.

Thanks.

Thanks I'll take a look at the Huion.

Ouch, yeah I don't want to pay that for one, certainly doesn't mean that much to me.

Would rather buy an iPad Pro, surely would be able to do it on there and record the screen at the same time?

Yeah I suppose I will get used to it eventually. Thanks guys, I'll take a look at those second hand sites too for a hopeful bargain.

Still a tad confused as to why the graphics tablets with screens cost so much, surely they're only basically the same as a regular tablet, like an iPad?

Ok thanks guys, won't be buying an iPad Pro just to make these videos. It will probably only end up being a 5 minute fad.

Just need to find a suitable piece of software to use to make them on now too.


Also is there an equivalent to that Huion but with a larger surface area for drawing on?
