I've been doing traditional all my life, I recently started to take my art more seriously and practicing more frequently (who knows maybe I could do more of it in a proffesional manner in tha future), and I decided to start saving for a good Digital Tablet, but I don't know where to start. What should I be looking for as a newbie on this medium? What are some good Tablets that you recommend?

Also, what are some good art programs? I know Photoshop ans SAI (although I barely used any of them, I need practice damnit XD) but I want to hear some more opinions.

Thank you in advantage!

Welcome to digital art! c: I've been doing digital stuff for around 17-18 years now and do it professionally as a concept artist, but I remember how daunting the initial plunge was into the medium (and trying to navigate through all of the different tablets etc.)!

As a newbie, I would recommend going with Wacom's intuos line. These are lower level tablets intended for beginners, and they're usually quite cost-effective. I recommend going this route because Wacom is known for quality products and will be a pretty solid intro tool that will last many years if taken care of properly. There will be a learning curve in the beginning, because it's definitely a weird feeling to get used to drawing without looking down at your hand, but the more you doodle, the more you'll get the hang of it. c:

As far as programs go, I'm a pretty hardcore Photoshop fan, but I when I used to teach digital art, I had quite a few students who used Paint Tool SAI, Clip Studio Paint & Fire Alpaca. Corel painter might also be a fun one for you to test out, since it's probably one of the strongest 2D programs when it comes to mimicking traditional media with a variety of true-to-life paints / brushes / pens / pencils etc.

It can be extremely helpful to watch various videos of artists doing digital paintings on youtube etc., especially with styles that interest you - it can teach you a lot about how to better use the program and apply it to your own work. c:

If you ever have questions, feel free to reach out to me! I'm happy to help!

I've been getting good results with Krita. It's free too. A lot of tablets come with some drawing programs, so try those out.

I suggest getting a tablet about the same size as the paper you usually draw on. (I've got one that's about A4) A tablet that's too small can feel restrictive and it means you have to scroll a lot.
