We used to put intuos 4 wacom pads in their kits, but we have stopped doing this to bring down the price. As it were, they have 2 intuos pens (an art pen and an airbrush) available at the bookstore for only $49.00 each. I could probably afford one of the pens, but not the pad. However, we can check them out, however, only overnight. I'm looking into buying an Inkling which just clips to a sketchbook and is pressure sensitive. It comes with an attached pen. They were only around $70.00 earlier in the year, but around Christmas, they went up to $190.00 and haven't come down. Oh, and the lines you make are editable in illustrator and are algorythms. Have you used/heard of these? We have a cintiq lab (on pcs) at the institute and we teach them photoshop, illustrator, painter and I think autodesk and maya on them.

It is very similar to Corel Painter, which I've been using on my desktop for years. I used Lynda.com to learn that program...and everything else on the computer. Sketchbook is cool, but I miss not having pressure sensitivity. But for a tablet experience it is pretty satisfying. No, I’m just making it up as I go.
