Art Update!
10 years ago
General
I'm going to go ahead and give a little update.
To everyone asking for a commission I have not forgotten about you! I've had a few difficulties with my tablets pen. DX
To give a rundown: The Surface Pro 2 tablet I use has a wacom stylus. And for some stupid reason they made the stylus to where you cannot change the nibs but instead have to buy a whole new stylus once the nib wears down (Thanks Microsoft). After using that stylus for awhile of course the nib wears out and starts destroying my expensive screen protector when I use it. So I had gone on a hunt to buy another stylus that would work with my tablet and also have replaceable nibs. Buying a $35 stylus every time the nib wears out would get pricey in a hurry. Other Wacom styluses have it to where you can buy a pack of nibs for like $5 and just replace them. I had ordered a new compatible stylus and waited a week for its arrival. Unfortunately once it arrived it felt spongey to draw with and very weird. I'm sure I could have learned to live with it, but the learning curve was putting me behind schedule. Completely by accident I came across an old laptab I had owned and used for art before I got my new tablet. It was also part Wacom and had a touch screen I drew on. I found the old stylus I had used that came with it. This stylus had replaceable nibs and was also compatible with my Surface Pro 2 turns out. So now that's what I've been using. I haven't used it in awhile, but I've been trying to get a feel for it again. Ive been constantly practicing with it in order to get back to my commissions.
To those wanting to commission me:
I completely understand that waiting is frustrating and if you'd like to cancel your commission I completely understand! I plan on sending out messages to all of you once I feel certain I can do your commission properly.
If any of my watchers/ friends have a Surface Pro or Pro 2 you will run across this problem. I am more than happy to share info on the two stylus replacements I've used. And perhaps it can help you choose and better understand a replacement.
On a side note I will be selling that stylus and an extra key I bought for the art program I currently use called Manga Studio 5 (Clip Art Studio) as a set for $60. There's nothing wrong with the stylus itself. I just don't like having to press down on it to draw. The stylus was $35 on ebay and the art program retails for $50. The stylus also come with a stand and five replacement nibs.
If you have any questions please feel free to message me. I'm still trying to sort this out and get back to drawing. Wish me luck! :3
