Tank Girl Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ... and good LORD it's hard to use!!!!! If anyone uses one; how long did it take for you to be able to actually draw a decent picture on it?? I'm just veering off in crazy directions and drawing a big line every time! Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 There are probably settings that you can adjust (both in your operating system and in your drawing software). It's possible that it currently takes in account the pressure you put on the pen to decide on the stroke width... which can be nice at time, but definitely not if you are learning how to use it.

Cornflakes Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've had an Wacom Intuos forever. Mine is really easy to use. *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtaxotep Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've got some local home brand tablet which is ultra thin so it can fit into your school bag - downside being it's starting to bend with age. All my drawings have that cool fisheye look. I have hardly used my tablet since I got it, I started using it a lot recently but I was mainly doing small pixel stuff which was easier with the mouse. It took maybe a month or two to get used to it - the hardest part is still using it efficiently, not tucking it up so I can reach the keyboard for key shortcuts all the time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Girl Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I was being a silly and using it in FX Illustrator when I was meant to be using it in Photoshop. Much easier now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensorchadragon Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I just got a tablet and it's nice and easy :D Guess it was the program you were using. I use GIMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
