Picture it like an Ipad sized thing, just it is used to draw. Pretty much is just used so that you are not drawing with the mouse.

Not entirely accurate, for one they can be between A4 and A6 size, I believe, mine is A6, secondly, while some tablets are like tablet computers, where you draw directly on the pad and can see what you are doing on it, most are more like a plate on which you draw, which is then transferred onto the screen, so you draw one place and see it done somewhere else.
Just to clear that confusion before it starts.

Like this one. Though much fancier than mine.

No, rather the story of Innocents, which I ought to write properly at one point.

Is that in this thread?
Must read it sometime.

Graphic tablet, a tool used to draw on the computer.

Oh, okay, so it's basically like drawing on a screen but what you draw comes up on the computer?
Would you be able to connect one to a laptop or is a desktop required?

I should probably invest in a new one.

How much do they usually cost?

Bunch of writing today, and eh, Daleks, gave you some art, and no comment?
Even if it isn't good art.

Nah, haven't shared it, besides a drawn summary that no one understood.

See picture and description on previous page.
And I only have a laptop, so that should explain that.

How much do they usually cost?

Between $100 and $1000, more or less. The best ones are extremely expensive, but they generally start at the $100 area.
If my dKR to dollar is correct.

Daleks, gave you some art, and no comment?

Where?
Haven't stumbled across it.

Ah, okay.
So that would be the best for a beginner?

Where?
Haven't stumbled across it.

Sarcasm, or already forgetting about the "werewolf" a page back? It's art. It's bad art, but it's still aaaart.
Hence, in art thread.
Magic.
Pure magic.

Ah, okay.
So that would be the best for a beginner?

Depends on your level of beginner. Totally newbie, then start with paper. Computer-art newbie, then the cheapest thing that comes to your system, which you like.
It's pretty much how it goes. If money is an issue, take the cheapest thing you can get. If you like a lot of space when you draw, then don't pick an A6 sized tablet. If you have a mac, you are pretty much limited to wacom tablets, which are all wicked expensive, but oh so awesome to draw with.
Everything else is a matter of taste and how much you are going to use it, really.

So, I guess, take a look around you, find something that suits your needs, buy it and have fun?
Considering it acts much like a multi-tool pencil rather than a magic wand of awesome, it's all up to you.

already forgetting about the "werewolf" a page back?

Read your post wrong, thought you meant daleks posted art and nobody looked at it. :D

So, in relation to tablets. I guess I'll just look around and if I feel the need to get one, I'll get one. :D

Commas! And if he posted art, I would probably go look at it in his thread, instead of complain here.
Comment was based on his "Give us art" earlier.

It tends to be a good investment, if you art a lot. Especially if you are too lazy to scan in stuff, or you are looking to expand you abilities a bit.
It helps a lot when you are super lazy and wants to sketch stuff without getting off your computer.

Daleks, gave you some art, and no comment?

Just because I demand art doesn't mean that I have to comment on it. Meh, and now it is on the other page too. So much work.

Anyway, the evil looking Cen guy is fine. I don't get what he is yelling at though. If you put more detail on whatever that is then it would be fine. I honestly cannot tell right now.

Hahahahahahahaha. O man, that is a good one. Actually I have thought about posting some of my art on here, but my art is bad and I should feel bad. O, and I am lazy.

No. Being lazy is what I do. I could by a tablet which would help me art but I don't because I am too lazy to look for one(and I don't really want to spend the money). I just use this magical device called a mouse!

Lazybutt.
But sorry. It's just a thing that I actually enjoy ranting about.
The hidden sides of Cen.

It's Kai. Drawn really simple, and trying to slink away.

Hahahahahahahaha. O man, that is a good one. Actually I have thought about posting some of my art on here, but my art is bad and I should feel bad. O, and I am lazy.

Post it anyway.

Out of the two options, I would consider using a mouse more work over a long period of time, than going to a store, get a tablet and use that.
Mouse art is a lot of work.

Okay, then, I guess that is all for today.

Hahahahahahahaha. O man, that is a good one. Actually I have thought about posting some of my art on here, but my art is bad and I should feel bad. O, and I am lazy.

You can only get better.
Criticism could help you improve, anyway.

Mouse art is a lot of work.

My hand isn't steady enough to do artwork with a mouse.
