For so long I drawed with a mouse on Gimp. As much as I enjoy drawing with it, after 6 years I feel like I reach my limits. I can’t progress anymore as fast as I would like to. I keep using some tweaks I made on my own to make my mouse do what a pen would do super easily. Like hair. I can’t draw it as detailled as I would like too. I can’t make perfect curves like I do on paper. It’s so annoying ! I know I can do way better than this !
When I first got into digital drawing I tried a graphic tablet from a cheapobrand but quickly ditched it. I simply hated it. It was a mere piece of plastic not responsive at all with a plain pen.
This time it’s different. I have a very bad artblock since months mostly due to not getting better. I currently hate everything I draw. I’m not able to put on a canvas what I have in mind anymore and it truly makes you feel terrible when you live to draw. As I was looking to give a second chance to this drawing tool, I was lucky enough to grab this beauty on an Amazon “Today’s deal” ! 40% off, It’s just like the web merchant heard my struggle. :D It’s exactly the size and the model I was planning to buy after reading many reviews. It’s awesome !
Speaking about size, I didn’t except it to be this big for a medium sized tablet. Compared to my keyboard it’s huuuuuuuuuuuuuge ! But it’s great. As I have a 24” screen, the tablet to screen ratio is very good.
The feeling is so different from the ones I tried before. I don’t feel confused at all about keeping the focus on the screen and not my hands. I can rest my palm on the tablet without messing up my work. I still need a bit of practice, but I’m sure I will be able to make better drawings once I get used to it ! (yeah I still feel like using my mouse for some stuff but oh well at least I’m able to work on details now !)
People weren’t wrong about Wacom, they really make high quality products. ♥ I can’t wait to start my next drawing with it ! It may not be good but at least I will be able to finish it this time before exploding !
Update : I have only drew humans so far with it so I haven't posted any new drawing here but you can see the results on my DA.
