Woohoo! After a long time of procrastinating, I finally decided to get a tablet. Thought I'd give it a quick whirl!

I got a wacom bamboo fun medium size.

Few problems before when using Oekaki shi painter. Whenever I'd press onto the drawing area in shi painter, it'd sometimes randomly click to eraser or a different colour? I disabled the side keys on the pen too.

Anyone got any other tips for drawing with this? It hasn't taken long to adjust from mouse to pen though.

I am just about to buy a pen tablet, how do you feel about the bamboo Wacom? Does it work pretty well for these kinds of boards? I spend a significant amount of time drawing and painting online, I have arthritis in my hands, and the touchpads I use for drawing make my hands move around too much; a pencil, or pen stuck in one hand, would not do so much movement with my fingers and hands; better for the arthritis. So, what kind of tablet pen, and pen tablet, do you recommend? Anybody got any advice? most expensive Wacom? Or do the cheaper ones of different brands work pretty well? Really like any advise people would give me, because I'm about to spring for one, and I want to get something fairly good. Thanks all.:).

I know somebody who suffer's from arthritus and they use one of the intuos 4 line's wacom tablet, because it has a grip pen.Ive alway's used a mouse, even though ive got a tablet ive only used it a few times.

I have a Wacom Bamboo..and a Wacom Graphire...The bamboo is ok...but I much prefer the Graphire...I started out with a mouse..worked with that for two years before I got a tablet and now you couldn't pay me enough to go back to the mouse...lol...but i think either one of those is good..

I just got a bamboo fun (small) this week because my tablet pc crashed. I like it!! I'm very happy with my bamboo fun with the few days that I've been using it. I actually use the eraser part for drawing because I find it more comfortable. I use a cloth on the active area(or a sock or a handkerchief) (I used a sock the first time until my mother gave me a handkerchief) to protect the pen and the active area. I notice That I've been pushing too hard. That can cause a scratch in the active area and the pen nib to dull down. So the cloth works for cheap protection. LOL cool drawing!

This is my first time experimenting on this site. I really didn't know what I was doing, but it was quite amusing XP

dorothyblueeyes (Jun 15, 2009)

that is gorgeous; I haven't been able to figure out how to use that software. And you did the first time? I am obviously not a techie of art. Sigh

Lately you see more and more (kids) posting on the wrong boards. Perhaps it is an idea to get the rules for drawing on which board on the front page. Or maybe there should come more mods.

tried to keep my colours pure and saturated, it's really hard for me to tell what this looks like since I'm using a laptop and I have major issues making things look the way I want to on a laptop.

took me like 9 attempts and 7 restarts to get jtablet onto vista. stupid vista.

Do you take requests? You are so good that I was wondering if you would do a pic of a character for me.

Silvair (Jan 18, 2009)

Eh.. no, sorry, 'fraid I don't do requests ^^;...

vlad.the.hamster (Jan 18, 2009)

Woah, this is an awesome style.
Almost looks like marker, actually.
When my school upgraded to Vista, I couldn't log in unless I was on a mac for the first few months. >< Vista sux lol?

ItzChronic (Jan 30, 2009)

Vista really isn't that bad. I haven't had any problems yet and I installed the builder's version, which didn't come with anything but the OS. Tablet works fantastic with it since it was made to work well with tablets.

Of course, I'm using a wacom tablet. <.<;

I like this picutre as a whole, but her upper lip makes me irk. D:
