I've been wanting to give digital art a try, but the price was out of my reach. Until 2 days ago, when I saw a drawing tablet on sale on ebay at a drastically reduced price because it's used. It's called a Huion Kamvas GT 156 HD Drawing Tablet Monitor, which is a mouthful, lol. It has a 15.6 inch work area, and the overall unit is 16 inches, so nice and big for my poor eyes, lol.
Here's a photo from the seller:
Then this morning I clicked on it and it had made it to Sudbury, ON. Woohoo; that's only a 4 hour drive from here! Of course, they'll have to sort it in Sudbury and put it on a truck to the Sault, the small northern Ontario community where I live, but it should be here tomorrow.
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning, lol. I hope it will work ok, since it's not new. The seller is actually the company that makes the unit, so it's probably a return. The seller said it's 90% new, works well, and just has a few scratches and the box has been opened. I hope the scratches are not on the screen, and are just on the outer portion. I only paid 234 Canadian and these sell for more than double that brand new, which is not something I could justify paying since I'm not an artist.
I'm so excited, lol. Off to watch more YouTube videos on how to use the free art software programs I downloaded.
