Wacom is definitely a better choice no matter at which stage you are because of several reasons.
1) These are the guys who invented the battery free pen tablets. They hold the patents for the technology which makes pen tablets better than a mouse. So if you go for any other good Indian brand or even a relatively unknown brand like Huion, you are buying from a company which has copied Wacom’s idea. It’s kind of like an original iPhone and a Chinese copy which looks like an iPhone. I use the word Chinese copy because Huion sounds like a Chinese name.
2) They have a broad range for you to choose from. Literally. In Indian currency, it starts from 4500 and goes up to more than 2 lakhs. The features increase with the price but having used a bamboo and an Intuos, I can say that you are getting the best out of your money.
3) Even if you are a beginner, if you are serious about learning and practicing digital art then you would want a product which is robust and has a long life. I use my Wacom to retouch photos and since the product is sturdy, I can carry it anywhere I like. Pen tablets are not really cheap, no matter which company and you don’t want to buy a new one, only to find it broken or malfunctioning in a couple of months. So go for a product which will last.
4) Pen tablet is a tool, not a vehicle. So even when you are a beginner, there is no point in you buying a substandard product because ultimately the kind of tool you use will help you in creating a piece of art. Wacom’s cheaper tablets will only have lesser accessories and options, not poorer quality.
