Making digital drawings

[Agata]

Hello All,

I feel a need for exploring options to make my own digital drawings. I use PSE 2025 on my laptop (with touch screen). I tried some drawing using mouse but that lacks precision and is not sustainable at all. I am looking for advice then. Is there another program I could use or some tool (stylus?). Price does matter, unfortunately...
Also, if you know about some good tutorials that I would appreciate you sharing them as well

Many thanks!

YES! @Agata When I began designing (Amanda's Digital Studio- - retired in 2017) , I was given a Wacom. It worked great, once I got the settings right. There was a tiny half second-second delay, but you get used to it. By now the tablets may be even better. I later got a touch screen, which also accommodates a stylus, but mostly I use my hands. You will really enjoy either!!

I have a Wacom Tablet, I love it, use it all the time, but I don't use it for drawings. When I had my hip replaced in May and couldn't sit comfortably started scrapping on my tablet with a stylus. Because of surface differences the Wacom is more precise, but the styles on the tablet is doable.I have a medium Wacom Pro, it was $268 at Best Buy.
