As the title says I want to buy a good drawing tablet. I've never done digital art and don't have much experience with traditional either. I've heard from many sources that digital is overall the easier option in the end so I figured I'd take their advice and buy a tablet, but I have no idea what to get. I'm on a budget (not extremely tight but would prefer something that's cheap and slightly worse than an extremely expensive high performance tablet).
I was also wondering if I should get an actual tablet or one of those drawing pad thingies that connect to the PC but don't actually have a screen themselves, since they seem to be cheaper...
Also I was thinking I'd try to get a refurbished one but maybe I'm wrong and I should just go for the safety of a new one...?
