Saw this on tv and was wondering if its something my 10 year old girl who loves drawing/doodling could use? Or is it catered to the more experienced?

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

Yes, you can. It is easy to use. But you must have "Adobe Ps", "Corel Painter" or some painting softwares on your computer. I think these painting softwares are a little difficult for your daughter.

Hi,Yes a 10 year old will love this, it works extremely well even in paint, or even Microsoft word. I personally use it for writing maths formulae, and in Photoshop. It feels just like pen on paper.Hope this helps,Kedar

It's a fairly simply tablet so I would think so. I've used lots of different Wacom tablets over the years and this is really nice one for the price. The surface is a great texture and the pressure -sensitivity when working in programs like Photoshop is excellent.

The Wacom is a great tool for drawing, I would think that pretty much anyone can pick it up since it works like a pen. It's also more ergonomic than a mouse in my opinion.

It's totally appropriate for any age or skill level. Really, it's very close to using a pencil and paper. It also comes with some fairly nice free art software. While there is a learning curve, it is not nearly as steep as I was expecting--it took me about two days of moderate use to become accustomed to it. If the art apps it comes with don't suit your needs (I can see how they would be difficult for a 10-year-old to navigate and understand), there is a really great app that I found, called inkBook, which is simple, streamlined, and a little quicker to respond than some of the more bulky and resource-heavy apps. It's a little pricey--$40--but I found it to be more than worth it. One nice feature is that it allows you to have multiple pages in a document (if there's a way to do that with the software the tablet came with, I haven't found it yet); in addition, changing pen styles or colors is quick and easy. The pen also functions as a mouse if held about a half inch above the pad; just tap to click. While I was not expecting this, I found it useful and intuitive. I don't do a lot of sketching; mostly, I use my tablet to take technical notes for my calculus and physics classes, and to do scratch work for my online homework. The tablet responds quickly and I can write just as fast and neatly as I would be able to on a piece of paper--without a lot of mess, and it's "greener" as well if that's something you care about. The "small" size I found to be just right for my needs. All in all, a great value for the money, even if you end up not liking the software that comes with it.

Totally something you can get for your kid. It's real simple and doesn't require any special skills

Absolutely! Just plug it in to a USB port. If the drivers don't automatically install, just insert the cd and you'll be up and running in no time. Once the drivers are installed and it's working a program like MS Paint or photoshop becomes a virtual coloring book. The only thing I'd really worry about is a kid being too rough with it and breaking it. But even then, it would take some real misuse to actually break it.

Obvious choking hazard /not under 3yr warning aside... I personally would have loved this when I was 7-8yrs old. Certainly 10+ but if a child is very in to drawing, I wouldn't hesitate at 7yrs. for sure.

Yes, I would strongly recommend it. I have created several designs using Corel Draw. I am self taught and learned more from watching YouTube videos.

Hi. I really think it is a great loom and would be perfect for her. It is easy to learn how to use and I think the quality of the pieces is very good. The big difference between this and other looms is that there are only a couple of warp threads (per each end of the piece) that need to be woven in when the piece is finished. This is a MAJOR improvement over a regular loom. The one thing I would say is that before the piece is removed from the loom the weaver should weave additional weft threads back and forth through the last four or five rows of the piece on each end. This is because the ends need added firmness so that they will not be weak or unstable when the piece is taken off the loom. But, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay for not having to weave back through all the warp threads, which is necessary on a regular loom. This really is a great loom. The company Beadaholique (which is an Amazon vendor) also has an online store and I have seen this loom there for $50. They also have free shipping for purchases over $25. I think your daughter would love this loom.

I have not used these to draw. The tip is more rounded, probably not too good for drawing. A tip more pointed like a pencil would work better. Letters and numbers would work okay.

Absolutely!! It's really perfect for anyone. My daughter 1st got one of these at 6 and I bought her another one at 7. It's a great, fun and creative craft!

Yes it is. My daughter used this until she was 17 and was able to do different intricate designs with no problems.

Well, first, I wouldn't buy this if I were you. Wacoms may be more expensive, but Huion is known to have a lot of problems, and if you're new to digital art (while cheap) this is really not the greatest. I use the program Krita and it's AWESOME with TONS of custom brushes you can find online if you search for 'em. Happy arting!

I have a drawing tablet but have never really needed it with Anime Studio. I guess it could be useful for small details, but the tools in Anime are quite comprehensive so I've always worked with a mouse. I would recommend getting the program, playing around with it until you're familiar with the tools; then decide what additional things you need.

Yes, but it was very easy. My 12 year old did a fantastic job on this picture. It was not that difficult compared to others. I think this one is a beginner level. I recommend this picture.

This is a pre-painted model (but painting it will make it look better) but the rigging is a little advanced for most kids. Unless they are really used to models and such, I would say this isn't for children.

I don't really think so. It allows creative ideas.... their own. My 10yr old niece really love it. Very good quality... not really a toy.

I think that if the 10-year-old likes to "put stuff together and make things work", it's a great educational toy for that age! The pieces are color-coded and also marked with letters/numbers and the instructions tell you in which order to place the pieces together. I don't think it is too elementary for a 10 year old to start with.
1842626
Yes, it is. The words you have to drawn are generally simple words, it just might be hard for them to draw.

I bought it for my 8 yr old grand niece. I think anyone that can use a pen to draw can use this. So i would say 7 yrs old on up to adulthood will like it.

They are tools. This is not too advanced for a seven year old, unless you expect him to know how to use these already. It's a great kit to help him LEARN advanced techniques. If he already has a passion for drawing and sketching and you feel its something he will continue on with, I think this would make a GREAT starter kit!
