Hi,

(NEED ANSWERS WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR PLEASE)

I'm interested in buying an artpad to draw on directly onto photoshop and try to make those great images you see in the 2D gallery forums. My question is, is it even worth to buy an artpad if the only one u can afford at the time is a sized fourth (A6) of a paper (A4)? I mean can you even paint on those stuff? Its like the size of my mouse kinda :S. So, is it even possible to make drawings on those small ones?

I'm gonna buy the WACOM VOLITO USB PC with:

Active Space: 127,6 x 92,8 mm
Resolution: 1000 dpi
512 sensitivity levels

So, what you think? Can I make those kinda pictures on it? (I allready know how to draw so thats not a problem, well perhaps going over from a normal pencil/brush) to digital, but I'll probably get used to it). I just need to know if I even can do something like that on it or just like, autographs?

what you get with an A6 wacom tablet is a small area mapped to a screen area. this means you've got less accuracy - and that's all. on my A4 oversized tablet, I've mapped a (ca.) A5 area. I wouldn't desire working with an A6, but if that's what you can afford, I'll guarantee you that you'll still be happy with it.
