Good for Drawing? Trying to Decide on Right Device

[skylercorgan]

I've been using a tablet with capacitive screen for sometime now, and I want to upgrade to an active-stylus device.

My big options seem to be the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Microsoft Surface Pro. In both cases I am planning to use Autodesk Sketchbook. So the real question is... will the Note 10.1 do what I want at half the price the Surface Pro would cost me?

I'm not an artist by any means and I have no experience with the Surface....BUT....fellow Note users have created some stunning work. I can't think that you would be disappointed with this tablet. It's awesome.

Here's a link to a whole set of examples of people creating art with their Notes.

Here's a link to one Note artist's Deviant Art site.

I use my GN about 80% of the time for Drawing. It's great! I had an Ipad and Ipad Mini, sucked drawing on a capacitive Screen with those thick tipped stylus'. I don't know about the Surface, but I like the GN. I would recommend though, getting a regular sized Pen Stylus, instead of using the smaller sized stylus that Comes with the Note 10.1. I like the feeling of drawing with something the size of a regular pen, but that could just be my preference. Here's a link to the Stylus I picked up on Amazon, it works great with the GN. If you decide to go with the GN, I'd recommend it.

My daughter is the artist and she loves using my Note 10.1 for drawing.
