![]() But there are other factors that will directly impact your productivity. Remember: a large drawing area size is a necessity. ![]() This doesn’t mean that having a large drawing area is the only desirable characteristic. If you get a small drawing tablet and try to use it as an animation tool, you will be incredibly frustrated and will have to work long hours to get minimum results. ![]() The size of the drawing board is what will make your job possible. What are the absolutely necessary characteristics of a drawing tablet for animation? Take a look at the image below and you will instantly understand why larger drawing tablets work better for animation purposes. So, my main tip to you is: if you want a drawing tablet for animation, get at the very least a middle sized one. By using a graphics tablet that is way too small, you’re going to be adding another variable that will consume valuable time rendering the animation process nearly unbearable. This argument does not work for animation because the process of animating in itself already require going back and forth among different tools and layers. I’ve mentioned multiple times in the posts here at Drawing Tablet World that it’s perfectly possible to create stunning artwork with tiny tablets, but it takes a lot of time and patience due to the fact that it’s necessary to use the zoom tool literally hundreds of times. It’s important to note that although nearly every drawing tablet out there will allow you to create great paintings/drawings, regardless of size, when it comes to animation, small drawing tablets are absolutely unsuitable for animation work. This is particularly true if your goal is to work on frame-by-frame animations that require the artist to draw over multiple layers with different degrees of opacity. Large drawing tablets that have a screen are definitely the way to go if you work with animation.
