Yes they are mostly good. Its jsut that peronaly tutorial videos jut pore the crap out of me.
Yes a tablet is essential if you ever want to draw something on your computer, the only real way to go. Its not so special in 3d expet whan you use artisan and the paint tools ina maya. On theotherhand its allmost a requirement for good use of progs like zbrush, photoshop, paintter, sketchbook, its alo good for quick retouching and so on
yeah thanks for the reply, and they bore the heck out of me 2 but i need to get better and that seems like a good way.

would the above tablet be adequite or should i spend more
the DVDs are the best ones I've run across.
And yes , I've used a tablet, I can go either way

how much more sensitive it is.
If you are going to do art with a tablet, you want as much presure sensitivity as possible.
anyone else have opinions on my ?s

Try yourself the difference is quite noticaple... Might not be at the first time you use a tablet tough. But in the end the intuos has much better feel, is better and has more additional options to it.
Oh and ps: does graphire have tilt and orientation cxontroll, cant remember... Its quite usefull to have this if you use paintter.
