In about an hour, I'm going to get my drawing tablet from Best Buy. Anyone know if this tablet is decent? And what should/shouldn't I do with it? If that makes any sense o.o

If it's Wacom, it's good. Nuff said, really.
It's an excellent brand, so all you need to decide are which size, and any extra features like option buttons you want, and that's all personal preference.

[Jeff]

Oh. my bad. I'll fix it xD

EDIT: Fixed.

Yeah, my brother got a Wacom, too. He says it's awesome.

Mines a Wacom too.
I only really use it for delicate erasing in my manips, but it's so good

Ve'y tru.

I'm looking into getting one at some point, but at the moment, the kinda stuff I do doesn't require me to use one.

From what I hear, people never are good at it at first.

Yeah I think thats the same tablet I have, copy cat! And yeah tablets are kind of hard to get used to. Most people have the impression they will be uber when they get it. I want one of those moniters that I can write on.

Are you able to draw good?

[Jeff]

Yeah, for practice, I've been using it as my mouse for a little bit.

Hoju - I can't draw well with a pen/cil anyways xD. But yes, the linesand everything come out VERY nice.

Using a tablet isn't the same as a mouse
A mouse has more control, the pen not as much from what I'm told

And the lines that you make would depend on how steady your hand is

I know o.o

What I meant was that I'm using this pen and tablet as my mouse so I can get used to the way it moves.

[Mahon]

So how are you liking it? Any complaints?

I've been thinking about buying one.

[Jeff]

I love it. No complaints, just needs some getting used to.

[hoju]

I can't wait to see what you make

[Jeff]

I can't wait to see what you make

Oh, don't get your hope up It's going to take me a long time. For now, I'll be using it for smudging and maybe making some 'practice' faces, all for practice.

[Martin]

Glad to hear this is such a great product. I have been considering purchasing one in the near future to play around with. Have fun with it and dont forget to show us what you make!

Wacoms are the best tab out there but they're hella expensive as you no doubt know . Personally I wouldn't like to be working with one the size that's shown in the picture of the link, but that's just preference.

As for what you shouldn't do, avoiding spilling things on it, throwing it across the room or letting your pets sleep on them are all good ideas .

Edit: Hokay didn't read far enough down, congrats on ze purchase .

well looks like you liked it...can't wait to see what you create...juts post random stuff you make so people can tell you what you can improve on...

[Jaf]

You win with Wacom, but as soon as you get it throw away your mouse and use your tablet for everything. It takes bit time to get used to, or so I've been told.

Just remember to draw alot everyday Jeff and share some of your work. Good luck.
