:ugh: I know this question has probably been asked like a hundred times on this forum but here goes: I'm about to buy myself a Wacom Intuos tablet... but I can't decide wether getting a 4x5, a 6x8 or a 6x11... I know that the bigger they get the smaller the difference in price is... but I also know that its easy to just buy something that's so ridiculously huge you wasted your money because you'll never use all of it... i'm planning to do sketches, textures, and maybe hone my painting skillz with it... does anyone have suggetion or tips for me?

Well if you have the room and you have the money I would get as big as I could. If your lacking in either I would step down to something smaller.

Personally I'm eyeing the Intuo 6x8 since it's pretty much the upper end 'middle man' and its footprint isnt killer like 6x11 ( 16.5" x 10.3" ).

i have a 4x5 just because its all that they had at best buy and it definitely gets the job done. i wouldnt take it back if they told me they would allow it ;)

i wouldnt feel comfortable with a beastly tablet anyways, i like holding it.

aight thanx a lot guys... I think i'm more intent on the 6x8 since it's relatively affordable and it's a decent size...

unless anyone has other suggestions...
