my laser mouse runs nice and smooth, but for image editing i prefer tablet, ive got a A4 sized one.

I never used a tablet, but I want to so badly. :(
My mouse is loyal, however. xDD

Uhm i think tablet is better of course, but i've never use it just hear some friends say 'bout it. Wish i had one !*crying*

I think theyr'e both equal since it depends on the skill of the beholder. But if I have to choose, a graphics tablet it is. It takes alot of getting used to, but you have more control over it than the mouse.

Quote by DarthTofuTablets are better for drawing, but I find that mice are better for coloring. (at least the little pad on laptops are. xD That's what I use)

(touchpad. ;) )

Actually, I always thought mice were steadier, while tablets were good because of their pressure-sensitivity and hand-drawing. I still drop the stylus in favor of my optical mouse sometimes.

At any rate, it takes time to get used to a tablet, so don't think it's a miracle all-cure or anything. :) It's not. It might shorten the time taken, but in the end it's your art skill that counts.

Wacom is good. Don't get the... what's it called... Aiptek. I think that's the name. It's cheaper, but my friend broke three of their styluses within the span of a year and had to buy three new ones, which is kind of scary. So far I haven't heard anything bad about the Wacom, but they ARE a bit more expensive than other lesser known brands.

tablet is by far much better than a mouse. It's harder holding a mouse and it's harder to control. We're not use 2 drawing/writing with a mouse. We're use to holding a pen and pencil to draw/write. It's exactly like drawing with a pen/pencil and the pressure stylus pen is awesome. Bside it's much faster and you can sketch a rouch sketch quickly and add a new laywer so you can add more detail onto your rough sketch

Quote by Croixi use both tablet and mouse at sametime. since im left handed, i can draw with left hand (tablet) and my right hand will be on the mouse, so when i need to change tool, i move the arrow with the mouse, then go back to tablet once i have the tool selected.

man i'd give my left arm to be ambidextrous =3 (be able to use both hands equally proficiently).

Tablets are practically a must have if you want to re-draw your line art and make it nice and crisp. I am dying for one. Literally. Goodluck!
