If you fail with garbage, it will discourage you. Why start with garbage, just to see if you like it (You going to make mud pies to see if you like the experience of cooking?) Doesnt work that way. Are there any XP PEN models similar to WACOM ONE in which I could get started or should I just go for it? thank. After looking at WACOM ONE, I'm really impressed and it seems to meet all my needs and wants, but I'm just scared about the price. No, I'm jk, but thank you for the replies in advance! :D If you began on a tablet with no screen and got used to it quickly, please tell me about your experience because I'm not completely against the idea of beginning on a tablet with no screen, I'm just scared that it'll be confusing and frustrating and will discourage me). Also, my budget is probably between $300-400. Lastly, as far as the tablet models go, I would prefer a tablet that has a screen on it, so I can see my work as I draw. My question therefore is, as a beginner, should I get an XP PEN tablet, so I can test the waters out before 'breaking the bank' so to speak, or should I just dive in and spend the money on a tablet that is worth the money in the long run if this hobby does develop into something more serious (which would be my hope)?

That being said, I've also noticed a handful of people who mention that XP PEN tablets are much more reasonable budget wise and can get the job done. However, I see that most people obviously mention that WACOM is the way to go for animation. I've read loads of threads on this subreddit about which drawing tablets are best for beginners, but the comments usually mention 15+ different tablets and everyone makes very convincing arguments for the tablets they're advocating for, so I feel overwhelmed by choices. I've been watching and reading a lot of content about character design and animation, and I really really want to start designing characters of my own and animating them.
