TABLET HELP WANTED!
I just had had my B-day and i got a SWEET table that i've wanted (ever since i started coming here). I dun really know how to use it though.
I did the crappy figure in this pic with the tablet, but it was HARD! It keeps on deselecting the color i want and drawing lines that i don't want when i somply want to leave off in one area and go to another. SNOOZLES! anyway, the tablet is an Aiptek 4.5" x 6" something or another. any tablet owners with advice for a young upstart like me? :)

can't help you...., i also wanted a tablet from the moment i joined 2draw, but i hear as much people complaining about their mouses as about tablets,.....so i decided to practice some more with the mouse....i'm sure you'll get the hang of it though...
btw, i like the pose of that person in the pic...it's very dynamic

Did you map the tablet to the screen? The best way to set it up is so that the top left or your tablet moves the mouse to the topleft of the screen, and bottom right for bottom right of the screen. Once it's setup like that, it works great...
As for people complaining about tablets, that's a first. :-)

Hey, I just got a tablet for my birthday too. The standard Wacom Graphire 2. Yay for tablets.
