Would a cintiq really be worth it?

I've been thinking about getting a cintiq, even though they're super expensive. eoe. I think my drawings would be better if I got a cintiq, because it'll be like drawing on paper but with digital short cuts. But I can't really know that for sure.

Should I stick with my baby bamboo or would a cintiq be worth enough to get one?

I've worked with both, the cheap models and the professional ones.
Professional ones are actually super amazing, but the quality or the cheap ones isn't too good in my opinion.
Line stuttering is very common and getting it trk seamlessly was a pain in the ass.
And it won't really be like drawing on paper, it takes time to get used to it, like you would with any other tablet.

IMO, stick with your tablet and as an alternative, scan original media.

Ah I see. Alright, I'll get a scanner instead of a cintiq. Thanks a bunch!!

I'd get a cintiq if I had the money, it's easier to be able to look where your hand is, it's way more precise.

No prob!
A cheaper alternative(sort of) to the Cintiq would be the Inkling.
I sketch my work on paper with it and clean the lines afterwards.
The only downside to it is the size of the area you're able to draw on and the quality of the lines.
It does the trick tho and personally, I like it

I wish I knew what a cintiq actaully was, ya know? LOL

Damn thats pretty cool, haha. Can understand why it would be so expensive...

That looks amazing.

Indeed it does 'w`

I'd say if you're a professional artist, get a cintiq. It'll work wonders and save you more time drawing.
If you draw as a hobby then stick with the bamboo / scanner. It's cheaper orz
I, myself, am saving up for one but since I'm still in college and I don't work, it might take me a while to get one.
