Guess I would have to :,)

I feel you on the

"Exsitential dread" when an art tool breaks like that

I had to bring away two Cintiqs and the one i got now is a huge gable because the warranty is gone if this one breaks

I cried because i legit a piece of me fucking died. And now my PC is dying

The other thing about it is because it can be a part of your income too and it hurts in more way than one.

So yeah i feel this because i didnt had an explaination for people what i felt when my PC or my Cintiq died.

I dont think people would help you out paying for a new ipad.

Now im curious. Because im thinking of getting an ipad to draw on. Because a Cintiq is fucking chonky. And id love to sit next to my fiancee drawing on the couch.

What do you reccomend?

Is the current one under warranty?

Yeah! It was only a month old. At least that.

Well, you got that going for you at least

I understand that feeling when I lack the tools to create, I feel like I've lost a limb. When I don't have access to functional tablets, paper drawing still holds some appeal, but it lacks the capabilities of digital. I can't use a sketchpad to paint 3D models in Substance Painter. I used to use a WH1409 and that thing experienced no end of driver issues. But have since replaced it with a pair of Surface devices, a Pro 9(for most applications) and a Book 3(for Substance Painter and modeling). I also refuse to own a phone that does not come with a stylus for drawing when I can't bring either of those, or sketch pads with me somewhere.

Nah ofc I understand Fly girl <3 art is how you express yourself! If you can't art it's like you've got tape over your mouth

That's annoying! I hope you can work out what's wrong

:C Oh dang that rly sucks!! I hope you can find a workaround soon!

I've been stuck in a strange rut of anxiety keeping me from doing most art and a lot of it is trauma related - like being afraid to draw because they might still be stalking me and secretly criticizing my art harshly as if i were a professional when i have always infact, been a hobbyist - idk if it's quite the same? but i do dearly wish to draw it's just.... paralyzed by fear. :x I'm still constantly studying life and things and ways to apply it to my art, just not drawing and sharing due to that paralyzing fear u_u

anyhoo -

yee i rly hope u get a replacement or something even better! <3

I can relate. I love drawing/painting and not being able to do it makes me sad. I got a spare tablet, and I draw on my phone since I need a break from my PC sometimes due health issues.

Although, I prefer a screenless tablet, I understand everyone is different. Good luck, I hope it gets better for you soon! ;o;

I know how you feel! My tablet is packed away right now and it's like.... WHO AM I? What am I outside of drawing pictures?! How much of ourselves we put into it is wild isn't it? I hope you get back to normal soon! <3
