Sir! You also use the Bamboo?

I approve. :)

I try. I try so hard.

But it is still currently nothing more than an over-expensive mouse and mousepad to me. :<

I lack the mental accuity to draw in one spot and watch where the lines go somewhere else at the same time.

It takes a little while - how long have you had it? :)

Well over a year now. Got it for christmas way back and basically never ever used it after getting frustrated the first few times. Gave it another try today, worked a bit better. Must be all this touchpad drawing i've been doing.

Oh yeah! That's not so bad. :)

My early stuff was kinda bad too: http://tadepec.zaphoyd.com/Art/Scri.....s/HEY_GUYS.jpg

Mostly, to practice, I made a whole lot of digital scribbles. And they ranged from 'kinda cute' to 'downright horrible'. It's a fairly different style of doing art, and requires slightly different types of hand and arm movement than traditional pencil sketching.

... my first fully digital image (not tracing a scanned sketch or anything, with a colouring layer and shading and otherwise generally a 'formally' digital image rather than a scribble) was this one: http://adeptomega.deviantart.com/ar.....Sonya-85603059 ... which I kind of wince to look at now. For comparison, here's a much more recent fully digital image: http://adeptomega.deviantart.com/ar.....tion-129976229 ... total difference. X)

I'd encourage you to keep at it! Tablet's a useful tool. I'd love to see how you turn out with it. :)

Dude i am getting that exact tablet soon LOL

ooo that looks way cool
