So I'm saving up for a tablet, which I will be using for drawing in Krita. But I can't decide which one I should get, so I'm wondering if anyone here, who draws with a tablet, knows what the difference is between those tablets and which one I should get, as I've never used a tablet before.

I can't decide between Wacom Intuos Art and Wacom Intuos Draw. What's the difference (if there is any) and which one should I get?

Thanks in advance!

Seems like the major difference is the fact that the Intuos Art model has touch functionality. That means you can hover and use gestures to move and navigate on your tablet using your fingers as opposed to the tablet pen stylus. Aside from the fact that the Art has a medium model available, they are actually identical in functionality. So it's up to you on whether you want to spend a little more on those touch gestures. While they are pretty nice, I don't think they're absolutely necessary. I actually sometimes get false positives when I leave my mouse on top of my tablet, and then the mouse has some slight innocent mayhem, but nothing particularly bad. I think you'll be fine with either model. Krita's really awesome as a paint editor (I use it myself!), and it's virtually seamless with the tablet. I have to set personal settings for Krita so that the tablet is only synced up to one monitor though for pen accuracy.

Just a note that since both of these models are the CTL-490, there may be some slight input lag or imperfections when using it for osu!. Since you said you want to use it for drawing, I don't see this as a problem, but I'd like to point it out just in case you wanted to try playing with it.

Oh, I see! Thanks for the answer :)
I think I'll go with the Intuos Draw then, even though the touch functionality sounds pretty nice. But it's great to know, that Krita supports those tablets, because I'm not willing to use any other paint editors than Krita. Btw, thanks for also mentioning that it maybe won't work perfectly in osu!
