What tablet would you suggest? (not a tablet pc, an external like a Wacom Graphire w/pen) Should i invest in a huge 9x12 or get broken in on a smaller one?

thx!

Whatever size you get, make sure its a Wacom. I use a little Volito and find it quite adequate, in fact I couldn't do without it. Anything bigger would take up too much desk space for me, but I know others who like more drawing area to express themselves.

I use an Intuos 2 and am quite happy with it. You may be able to pick up one of those for less money. I'm using a 6x9 and its plenty big enough.

Whatever you use, Wacoms are the best. :)

Just about any size Wacom tablet should do. The big ones are great for artists or for people who want to use the tablet to trace a photograph. But for painting details on SL clothes, any size is fine.
