A good tablet offers an artist a light, handy, responsive and electronic option to get projects done, even when they arent at the office.

If youre ready, wed like to get started by letting you know what you should be on the lookout for when you start shopping so you can make sure that youre choosing the tablet thats right for you.

Simply put, it is the area where you stylus reacts and draws on the tablet.

Many graphics tablets will come with a plastic edge or bezel which will come between the screen and the casing.

In fact, check the specifications for the tablet and the words active area because the last thing you want to have happen is to end up with disappointment when you realize that it doesnt have enough room to handle the work you are doing.

There are some additional features that can be useful such as HotKeys or even a multi-touch capability.

If anything, these additional features are designed to help make operating the tablet easier and overall, a more enjoyable experience.

These keys are designed to help you save time and streamline your work process so you can focus more on getting things done instead of searching for the apps you use the most.

Many tablets will allow you to customize as well as program the keys for your favorite shortcuts, while others will pull the shortcuts you use the most into the hotkeys automatically.

This isnt the case if youre a graphic designer or illustrator.

For professionals, the best stylus comes in two forms: battery-operated and electromagnetic resonance (EMR).

Although there are differences between them, they are designed specifically to mimic the feel of drawing with a regular pen or pencil.

They tend to be thinner that battery-operated styluses and have a thicker point.

On the other hand, a battery-operated stylus is designed with a finer point and made to be used for pen-to-tablet drawing.

Now, obviously there can be a price difference between the two of them, but which one is better for you generally comes down to personal preference.

The LPI (lines per inch) for an on-screen table will generally be the same the LPI for a flat model tablet.

Drawing on a tablet while looking at your monitor or laptop screen can be discombobulating at first, while those who prefer drawing on an on-screen tablet are comfortable drawing right on the screen as they do not have any other option.

The one that is ultimately chosen has many things considered, but one of the most important is the table sensitivity.

Depending on yours, you may want to choose a tablet with an ultra-sensitive and responsive surface.

Pressure levels on tables start at about 300 levels of pressure and go up to around 3000.

In this case, the higher the number, the more responsive the tablet will be for you.

For illustrations and design work, the optimal pressure level to look for on a tablet is in the 1024 range.

Think of LPI the same way that people think of 4K resolution found on televisions and computer monitors.
