I had a One by wacom (the cheapest) for about 5 years and it was good
now I bought a huion kamvas 13 and it’s pretty good, a little expensive, but worth it

You can still download it off some software sites but double artist points if you’re doing it on Windows XP

I recently got a small Wacom Intuos with Bluetooth, it works quite well for me, I plan to get a better one later, I would recommend that you do the same, Wacoms are generally good and efficient for beginners.

In my experience, cheaper tablets work just as well, but some break easily. if you have no other option, XP tablets are fine, but GOD. if you can afford something else, go for it. FLEXIBLE TABLETS SUCK. SMALL TABLETS ALSO SUCK. if your tablet has a replaceable USB cord, check that first if your tablet starts acting up. I had a wacom intuos and, ten times outta nine, the USB cord was the reason it was fucky. sometimes tablets come with extra nibs in a little compartment! also, if you can afford it, intuos is delightful. the one redeeming quuality of XP over Intuos: XP pens are easy as fuck to replace, INTUOS PENS ARE NOT

Okay from the replies and looking at it myself some, I’m thinking about getting a huion kamvas 13 (okay with the price since I plan to keep it for a long time). Any warnings or reasons to reconsider my decision that I should take into account?

I’ve none aside from getting it from a good place with a good return policy if possible. Have fun, look forward to seeing what you do with it plus what your experience is.
There’s a lot of good art programs/apps out there. You got one or two lined up?

I was gonna try MediBang first but if that isn’t to my liking I’ll just kind of browse around reputable free services until I click with one.

Chikahiro is right make sure there is a good return policy, test the hell out of it when you get it make sure there is no line wobble skipping blobbing or pointer drift

You might find this useful then.
They mention Medibang, Sketchbook, MyPaint, Ibis, and Krita.

Yup! Never get a Wacom tablet, the brand itself is also known for scamming content creators.
That’s a new one what did they do now

It might not have been Wacom, I’m not entirely sure however, a while back there was a (quite popular) brand trending on Twitter for scamming. I wish I would have bookmarked it-

Krita is pretty damn good, as for drawing I exclusively use my iPad and apple pen now since it’s so nice and convenient, before that I used a Huion tablet, they’re nice, sturdy and lasts a good while so my vote is also on Huion c:
