Can I animate using this tablet?
If not, is there a tablet that I can buy that will allow me to create animated shorts, storyboards, and digital art?
You can use any tablet to animate. What you need to look for is what kind of program would best fit your needs. For digital art, I would recommend FireAlpaca for beginners in tablets and for animation I've heard that Maya is a good program. I believe Maya is through Adobe, but just look around online. Look for reviews, and also look on youtube for tutorials.
