>>722114>size of tablet depends completely on preferenceNot really. When you draw on paper (something I'm presuming OP has done some amount of, given the thread), input from your hand is 1 to 1 with output on your page. Having to shift from that to, say, a tablet that's half the size of your screen, where the input to output is more like 1 to 2, means that you have to completely rework a lot of muscle memory (reworking which will also make it harder for you to draw traditionally if you make a habit out of drawing more digitally. The two don't complement one another at all). This also leads to resolution issues, where upscaling your inputs makes detailing a lot harder. It is best to match tablet input area size to monitor size to ameliorate this. I'm not convinced you have much experience with graphics tablets if this concept is so alien to you; it's pretty blatantly obvious the first time you try to draw on a tablet that's way too small.
>Note 10Because it's super cheap and portable for a digitized tablet screen, that's good enough for beginners? Not everyone wants to sit in their room and draw all day, it can be nice to go out and get some experience sometimes.
>SP2...because it's also super cheap and portable for a digitized tablet screen, that's good enough for beginners? And it has a full, desktop OS, if OP wanted to do more advanced stuff. I dunno, mine still works just fine; I was just drawing on it in a coffee shop for like 4 hours earlier. Same with the Note; I use the thing constantly, even stream from it on occasion. It works really well. And, as it turns out, SP1 and SP2 use the same digitizer tech as all Note products before the Note 7, so the pens are all interchangeable across devices.
I mean yeah, a Cintiq or an ipad pro or a SP7 or whatever would be technologically better, but it'd be pretty stupid for OP to dump that kind of money on something they're a beginner with.
