Recently aquired intuos4 M
14 years ago
Today I got a package containing one set of Wacom Intuos4 medium. :D
After waiting to buy one from a seller for a week or two I finally decided to just buy one new.
Originally I was planning on buying a small one, but the promise of owning a medium was too tempting and I finally bought one online.
I don't think I've ever had a package as pompous as this one. :P
After carefully opening up like three layers of packing and fishing out the tablet out of a fine cloth blanket I was ready to inspect the product. |3
I can't say I quite get the reason to give you a pen holder, sure it looks painfully pro and classy, but I was quite fine with just being able to attach the pen to the tablet whenever I didn't use it.
Sure the penholder also acts like a magazine for your extra pen nips and such, but it could prolly have been a small attachment to the back or something.
I'm just more for functionality then looking like Baron von Artistic.
So far I've only given the tablet a brief test run to see how much it differs from the old Graphire I was using and I think the lines feel more stable, even without using the stabilizer in SAI.
Lots of the shiny buttons I don't quite know what I'll need them for as they seem to have no effect in SAI atleast.
Zooming in and out seems needlessly complex since you need to move your finger in circles around the little circle radical button thingy, but then again I'm used to the simple scroll bar on my Graphire. :P
So far I can't really tell if this new tablet will improve my work for me, and probably an artist more experienced with the intuos would be able to tell me how it will make things 64 better.
I doubt I'll end up returning it as I haven't found anything which makes me really wanna go back to my old tablet, except that well, it's bigger, meaning it's clunkier to handle now that I've gotten used with using the Graphire the way I do, and also since the drawing surface is bigger I need to practice in making longer and bigger movements when drawing since I'm pretty used in making micro strokes at the moment.
In any event I want to thank everyone who commissioned me up till now (and of course everyone who will do so after aswell X3) since they made it possible for me to get an intuos, all the money I earned from doing commissions have gone into saving for a new tablet and it finally paid off. :B
I tip my hat to you guys. (I should really upload a photo of my hat at some point, it's kinda pimped out.)

I also predict getting shoulder pains cause I need to keep my arm lifted to reach around the edge and such.
I will try and gradually switch over to a new way of drawing, but right now I sort of feel handicapped.
About the package when i bought my Wacom tablet i was like "ohh~", but then i got something by Alienware and i was like "ohhhhhhhhhhh~" and then by Razer "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~" X3
The lcd displays on the tablet are pretty cool, even if I don't know what I would use the shift, control buttons for, I keep moving my hand back to the keyboard anyway to use ctrl Z anyway, there is a undo function on the tablet but you gotta bring up a radical, click the command button and then select undo, it's way too much of a hassle since I need to use undo all the time.
I tried doing a bit of line art yesterday and I think it looks better and was easterly made, tho I had to take off my bracelet on my right wrist which I never take off or else I'm afraid it will start scratching the tablet. D: Boooooo.
