She draws a ton, so she has definitely put in a lot of practice!

This is doodle #1 from her experimentation with Procreate. I think it's a raccoon.

Thanks for the tip, I forgot to reply earlier in the week We already got her setup with Procreate on the iPad and she's loving it so far. Definitely *a lot* to learn, but she has at least got the hang of working with layers, changing brushes, drawing, filling in colours, using the eye dropper / colour picker, etc. Don't need much more than that to start. We'll just keep learning as we go.

Yeah I don't think she'd see getting started with the iPad as a "hand me down". None of us even remembered that we had the Apple Pencil Her birthday isn't until December, so we can try out the iPad solution for a while and see how it goes. There's still time to decide if something different might be better and then get that as a birthday or Christmas present. (If schools get shutdown again during the second wave of COVID-19 then she'll have lots of time for drawing )

Thanks for the tips, you two. I did do a quick Google search for alternatives to Wacom, but lack of familiarity with any of the suggested brand names kinda turned me off a little. "Huion" made me think Huawei == get outta here My next question was going to be about software, so thanks for pointing that out Anelle. It just now occurred to me that we have an iPad, and somewhere on our bookshelf is an Apple Pen my wife almost never uses... should I just buy the right iPad apps and let her draw on there since we already have then pen? That would save me some $$$ (at least until she wants to upgrade someday?)

Who here has experience/insight that they can share? @Jane or @Anelle ? My daughter wants a drawing tablet for her 10th birthday. She draws constantly (comics, pictures, designs her own Pokemon, etc., etc.). She's nuts about it. She wants to be able to draw on the computer and then learn how to make animations of her drawings. I am looking at the Wacom Intuos tablets (not the Pro series). The medium sized tablet is probably the most I'm willing to spend (279.99 CAD) and has a 8.5 x 5.3" drawing area. Is that a decent choice? Not sure if the small version would be too limiting Are there other brands of tablets that you would recommend instead?
