So... my sister recently got herself a graphics tablet, and I'd been pretty tentative to buy one before trying it out, so she let me borrow it for a week. None of the stuff I did was entirely complete, and nor was it meant to look as such, but here 'tis:

What kind was it?
I've been on the hunt for a good reasonably priced one.
The only one I've found in the shops in my town so far was $250 Wacom one which is a bit rich for my blood at the moment.

When I stopped sketching some years ago the only quality boards were the expensive wacom ones. Did this change? I would buy one in that case and start drawing again

Rad, wait around for some junk mail from JB Hi-Fi and a special. That's how I got mine.

If it's junk mail that shouldn't take long.
Actually JB Hifi were the ones with the $250 one, I still haven't found a Bamboo yet.
There looks to be nothing other than styluses under $100 on the online store.
I was also look at a mouse pen like this.
Maybe I should move this discussion elsewhere.

So 50p which is I think about $86 AUD, it's not bad cheaper than anything I've seen yet except on Ebay.

I guess the price of electronics is sort of universial around the world, but I probably would have gone for an used intuos at any opportunity instead of a bamboo. But that might be 5-6 year old experiences combined with cheap electronics speaking.
Besides that, I recommend spending a lot of time tweaking hotkeys in photoshop and even using autohotkey to generate custom hotkeys. Right now I got Alt on my first right click on the pen, and now I've placed a autohotkeyscript that switches between eraser and brush whenever I double-click the alt button. Going to add a third one for general undo, so I can get away with only one arm for a lot of work.
Beyond that, experiment with stylus controlled width and opacity. But I don't recommend using them both at the same time. Ignore opacity while using the stylus for brush width for pen-like brushes and ignore brush width when focusing on opacity for shader brushes and more realistic pencil-lines. Maybe a minimum brush size of 30-60% for pencils.
Also, lazynezumi is brilliant for stabilizing lines. I bought a license yesterday, since they began updating it this summer(It had been dead since around 2009 or so before that.)
