Digital pen tool on a stand

[Leopardbreeder]

What are those things called that you see professional digital artists using? They are a pen that is mounted on an arm that is linked to the computer and you can use it to draw.

a tablet?

 

[Leopardbreeder]

No, it just senses the move movements you make with the pen, and it shows up on the screen. Its just a stand with a pen shaped thing on it.

he very well may be looking for something else. i asked my friend and he says he used to work with something like that back in school for technical drawings but he can't remember what its called

 

[Leopardbreeder]

That works the same as what I was talking about, not it though. I will look into it, I want to get into digital graphics and drawling, like making logos for stuff..

I dunno about a stand with a pen shaped thing on it...... but I do know Wacom makes the best tablets as far as drawing digitally goes. I have an Intuos 3 6X8 I use for art, best $250 I ever spent on ebay .

There are those Cintiq tablets where you work directly on screen, I could see that being interpreted as a pen that senses movement. http://www.wacom.com/cintiq/index.cfm
