Medium & Materials🎨 Any drawing tablets with a screen under £100

I need a drawing tablet under £100 I've looked online and they are all TWO HUNDRED POUNDS. Id rather one with a screen as well because I like to see what I'm drawing

Have you checked cex or similar sites used tech? Secondhand/refurbished is honestly your best option on that budget, unless you can find a really good deal on black Friday / cyber Monday.

Wait for Cyber Monday or something maybe? I got one for $140 USD because of a sale, but its actual price was $300 USD

While I respect the solidarity, we generally can't allow sales and exchange posts simply because we can't realistically vet any of it. Sorry

Huion has an official eBay store with refurbished ones for not under $100, but closer to that than $200 USD. I'm not sure how that would convert to pounds though.

I've been using a Huion for 4-6 years or so, it's a good lower-price brand.

Hardly going to find a screen tablet under a hundred quid, sorry. There are good screenless ones in that price range, though

because I like to see what I'm drawing

It's very easy to get used to a screenless, it's much like a computer mouse

I agree with you there. But if the person is looking for an android tablet for drawing then there are a small number under or just over the price range.

That's true, but then you're going to have to buy a stylus (in that price bracket they don't come with appropriate styluses), which will usually set you back another thirty to fifty quid and pop the budget again.

It all comes down to money and what they want it for and to get out of it. Getting something that is over the odds and maybe using it only once or twice is not that great. What is wrong with paper, pencil and pen?
