what's a good and affordable drawing tablet w/ a screen? (including wacom, not sure what model is good + not 2 expensive)
i've also been looking at yiynova, huion, and ugee tablets
or would a surface pro or ipad pro be a better choice instead for practicality?

Surface pro is really neat, because you can use it as a computer and a drawing tablet. It's almost like the super expensive cintiq companion tablets, but a lot cheaper.

If you get a surface pro though, you're going to want to get an anti-glare matte screen protector, which will give the screen a slight texture. Without it, it's super slick and glassy, so it's awkward to draw on compared to other drawing tablets, which have a slight texture to make them feel more natural.

Even then, I feel like I have trouble doing intricate lineart on the surface pro compared to my non-screen intuos pro tablet. You have to play around with the calibration a bit on the surface pro to get it so your lines appear right where you're pressing.
Granted, I've only tried drawing with the original surface pro, it's possible the later surface pros have better accuracy.

When it comes to wacom screen tablets, the 13hd without touch is about $700-800 if I remember correctly, which was cheaper than I thought. For an extra $100 dollars you can get the version that allows touch capabilities, but I think that's completely unnecessary.

Out of those other brands you've listed, I remember hearing the best regarding the huion and yiynova brands. Def look up some reviews, some people have comparison videos/reviews of those tablets vs wacom cintiq.

What does OP stand for? Does it stand for Original Poster?

It does, but it also means overpowered in gaming.

It can also refer to 'original post'.

Depends on the context it's used, haha.

thanks so much !!
i'll def look further into the surface pro products

wacom intuos or surface pro?

When I download an image that is lineart'd, in my gallery it appears blank and doesn't show up whatever I do. Is the problem the image or my phone?

@Thefourthone

Don't pick Huion- even though the tablets are cheap; it's a bad company.

If you read a couple of it's reviews, some of them are negative.

So i'd suggest you getting Wacom.

is it a bad company because of some of the things they say/support or are their products bad?

is it possible to fix a tablet LCD with just poking and pressing and bending it
i have a tablet and the lcd is broken and i can't use it now and i wanted to get it fixed but it would cost too much

all tablets have their positive + negative reviews
i've been looking at this site:

though i've personally only rly been eying the yiynova tablets so far

If your image was transparent and your lineart was black, phones save it like that (transparent). Although appearing black, you could probably tap the screen and the background turns white, showing your lineart. If that doesn't work, it's likely your phone saving it incorrectly, like copy+pasting a transparent picture onto MSPaint. Since it doesn't know how to handle transparent backgrounds, it automatically turns it to black. I'm not too sure myself, however.

They don't usually come out as how you expect.

also, i read some reviews on some tablets and a lot of people say "Huion is a bad company," etc

On the other hand, may I request a good sir to further clarify the different music genres? (e.g., alternative & indie rock, EDM, etc.)

Not really a Sir, but my attention got caught with ''rock''.
Well, you could say alternative rock is a close relative of grunge rock throughout the history. Take it as Nirvana was a legendary grunge rock band. After Kurt Cobain died and Nirvana decided to stop making music, Dave Grohl made a new band called the Foo Fighters, which you could say, is alternative rock.
I'm not into EDM and stuff like that, but if you wish to know more about the subgenres of rock, metal or punk music, feel free to contact me.

can anyone recommend me some free video editing softwares that have some of the same features as sony vegas pro?
i would love to do some of those fancy animations and pmv's but the actual svp is so expensive.
thank you in advance!

TFO, YOU COULD HAVE JUST HIT ME UP ON THE PALETTE DISCORD!!! Lies right on top of you.
*I didn't read any of the posts from others in the thread, sorry if this gets repetitive!

Yiynova tablets apparently improved since I last bought the DP10, so I do think that might be a fine choice if you get the updated versions! There's a monitor tablet I recall wanting to buy with Pyru, here it is! You should be able to find something like this.
If you're going to actually go for a tablet that has an OS, I recommend you go with any tablet PC with Wacom penabled technology. Surface Pro 3 and 4 doesn't have Wacom tech, it uses another company's that I don't remember haha- but I remember not really enjoying using them in stores. The iPad Pro seems like a waste of money unless you like the big screen because it's not exactly a computer- it's a tablet and it should be used like a tablet since the apple appstore probably only has the light versions of the full PC versions.

If you go for the tablet PC route: Try looking at lists things like these! I personally have the Lenovo Thinkpad X61, Fujitsu T732, and the Wacom Cintiq Companion 2. I had the Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 14 with a specific model (important!) and the accuracy was crazy! Way better than my Fujitsu T732 because it had AES tech! It had a few issues that annoyed me to no end which is why I returned it. The computers I have right now all use EMR technology, a very old but tested and true tech! I think the new Wacom workstations are going to use AES. . . I think they improved it though!
Just hit me up if you wanna talk about tablets~

the lenovo x61s is fairly cheap at less than $100 and weighs less than 3 pounds along with being only an inch thick
it has a wacom pressure sensitive screen and is remarkably modern despite its age

Screeches. The x61 is hell and I would not recommend that hell to my dear friend Thefourtone.
