5 Feb 2005 Tablets are cool.
After several months of
debating I've finally given in and got myself a graphics tablet for my computer.
This one to be precise, mainly because it was the cheapest one I could find. My face was filled with glee when it arrived this morning and I decided to give it a try. So I quickly knocked up this picture below (note: this was drawn directly onto the computer using MS Paint. I didn't sketch it beforehand. Promise!):
My first Direct Tablet drawing
It'll be in the Art of Grax, under Miscellaneous.
It's a bit crap, but it's not too bad for my first try. The tablet itself is pretty good, although I wish there was a bigger drawing space. You only get A6, roughly the size of a postcard. But what do you expect, you get what you pay for. There is this funky high-tech tracing facility on the tablet, which is simply lift the front transparant sheet, put your drawing underneath it, and trace around it with the pen. Brilliant!
I can't wait to try the tablet out on a proper drawing. *glee*
