Tablet drawing on the go

[AyGee]

Gonna keep this brief, since it's a relatively simple yet demanding question:  What's a good option for digital drawing on the go?  I ask because I'm in the house usually for just long enough to eat and sleep, and now that six day work weeks seem to be a regular thing with my one day off already occupied... well... I just about can't draw anymore.

What I'd like it something with a VERY small footprint, high accuracy, and stupid-fast boot up times.  We're talking BAM *scribble for five seconds* BAM *put away* BAM *take it out thirty seconds later to scribble for a minute* BAM *away again*- and drawing just as well as one would with a proper graphic tablet and computer.  Using a desktop setup at home is a luxury that's getting quite rare for me anymore unless I want it to cut into my sleep, so I'm kind of scraping for solutions here.

Just roll out this ipapyrus and let the imagination flow.

- Hight resolution;

- Cheap;

- Autonomous;

- Mobile;

- Multitasking;

Perfect for long comics format.

kek.

But on a more serious note - I do have a sketchbook, but I don't have a scanner.  That's to say nothing of being used to having an 'undo' button, layers, and different pen types.

It's not quite what you're looking for, buy the sounds of it, but have you considered a boogie board? Otherwise I'd say acquire a cheapo Android tablet, root and mod at your leisure, throw programs at it, and grab a stylus. Maybe even a Kindle fire would work, yeah? I dunno. I take a laptop and a fucking intuos 3 medium with me when I travel, so maybe I'm not the best person to dispense knowledge on this front.

I would say a Samsung Note (their stylus system is even a wacom technology) but those kind of explode. You might be able to nab one of the older versions, though. They'd probably even be cheaper right now. The Note 3 I have came with Autodesk drawing software capable of taking advantage of the stylus' pressure sensitivity and supported layers and most the basic stuff you expect in a decent drawing program.

Handy little cheap unit.

My note reminds me every now and then that it doesn't have a pen anymore. Been gone for months now, no idea where it went.

You can get replacement styli on Amazon for just about any model! They're not too expensive, either
