Well I finally took the time and downloaded OpenCanvas v1.1

Needless to say it's quite fun. ^_^ Although I really need to practice before I ever even think of drawing with anyone. Since at the moment my drawing skills with my tablet are lackluster at best. Anyone know any tricks for getting my drawing skills on real paper to transfer to the monitor? I'm already using a felt tipped nib (or is it nub?) on the pen and that has helped quite a bit and I've been contemplating taping a piece of paper over the drawing area since I heard that helps as well. Yet aside from those does anyone know any more tips that could help?

Thanks if you can help. ^_^

Now I think I'll go back to practicing.
