I totally understand this feeling. Actually the same way to be honest. There's a couple tablets out there that let you draw using paper on the tablet, and it'll digitize it while you're drawing.

oh cool! :O
definitely link me some of those tablets if you can~
and really glad to hear that I'm not the only one going through that problem x3

This is one. My only problem with it is that you can only use the ballpoint pen they give you. There's another called the iSkn Slate that is similar, but it has a couple ring accessory things that they say allow you to use any drawing materials on it.

Weeeeeeeelllll...

I have a tax return coming up...

And I like the butts you draw...

>w>

(v >w>)>

Have you uhh..have you tried drawing it up in your traditional way and then moved it into your digital style? ^-^ Sorry if you already clarified if you have, I can be quite..slow at times.~ @.~.@

no its cool bro x3
but yea I've tried that when I first started on FA, but I really would like to stay away from having to use scanners since the scanner's in a public area, and I uhh....don't..draw the cleanest..art >3>..around lol

Oh I know you don't, another reason to enjoy your art all the more though. :3

Honestly I never got the hang of a regular tablet either. I ended up buying an old refurbished tablet pc for like $185. (Mine is a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 Tablet) Otherwise when I'm really stuck with my digital work I tend to do traditional sketches and then scan or take a picture of them to work on digitally. I believe you can find some cheap scanners as well if you need a personal one.

how big is your Lenovo thinkpad?

12.5 diagonal measurement, 1366 x 768 Resolution. Basically the screen is roughly the size of a piece of paper. The rest of the tablet isn't super bulky either, aside from the fact that the battery pack sticks out considerably (though it makes for the perfect stylus rest in tablet mode).

Other nifty features:
-Fingerprint Scanner
-Both the red nib tracker and the touch pad
-Screen capable of both finger and stylus touch (I have finger touch disable for drawing though because they counteract each other)
-Decent battery life (especially for a refurbished product)
-Fairly durable case (been dropped once or twice and still running strong)
-The keyboard isn't raised but feels like it is! The keys press deeper than most laptop keys so it feels slightly more like a desktop

Cons:
-Images tend to be temporarily burned into screen on occasion (they have always been faint and went away after a couple minutes)
-Paint on the fingerprint scanner wears off after significant use
-Vent can produce excessive heat when running heavily (when trying to play games like League of Legends or heavily modded Minecraft)
-With any laptop you run the risk of the keys rubbing on the screen and causing scratches. This one is no exception.
-Not a lot of space for stickers! (I fit 8 stickers on the front of various sizes)

bruh that sticker con might be the deciding vote
thanks for the help, but my sister may have actually found a really nice drawing tablet monitor, but just in case it may not work out, ill definitely keep yours in mind.
big fan of Lenovo computers too. Lenovo actually the computer I use to game ^w^

Alright cool :D Just so you know 4GB ones (like what I have) are going for around $135-220 on Ebay right now. There's also an 8GB version but it goes for $200-450. I think I paid $185 for mine.

And Ikr Lenovo computers are so cool! And it's so neat to have a computer that was probably worth a few hundred dollars when it was new. Makes me feel fancy~

lol now I cant wait to get my tax refund >..<

Oh I know the feel. I got my tax return but after looking these up for you and finding out that there's an 8GB version I'm jealous as all hell and about to go and buy one x.x"

XD lol I would do the same. best of luck~
