I've been working in the digital design and visual FX industry for over 2 decades.. I've owned and used tablets for my illustration and Zbrush work for MANY of those..
I have ALWAYS preached to new artists and illustrators that, despite me owning a LOT of Wacom products, you DO NOT NEED a large expensive tablet to produce quality art. THIS tablet has proven me WRONG!!
Do you NEED a big and expensive fancy tablet? Absolutely NOT.. Can THIS tablet be used to produce quality illustrations and other art? NO.. your work will be 10x better spending the extra $10 on the Huion model that is one size larger.. (yet actually has thickness.. this 2mm stuff is useless trash with poor performance).
Why? Simply put, using it flat on a desk, the tablet isn't large enough to properly hold it in place. The "real estate" for holding it still is useless.. And my preferred method of holding it in my hand/lap is completely out of the question due to the thickness mentioned above.
I'm not telling you that you NEED to go buy some $200+ Wacom or even a higher end model from this company or Huion. I'm simply telling you that the extra $10 for the (one size larger) Huion WILL improve your ability to get what you want from your hand to the program you're using.
Trust me, I do this for a living, and after my Wacom Intuos bit the dust, I ordered this AND the Huion to see which to keep. I believe I've explained why I'm choosing a return this one and keep the Huion. (I'm probably misspelling that by the way).
Oh and just a side not, I had this less than a day, and Amazon is CHARGING ME for the return print label so I'm not even getting my refund (not all it).
