Tablets

[Little Star]

We can basically just use this thread to talk about tablets............... I ordered a Bamboo Splash
EDIT: Check out my thread in requests.... MY TABLET IS INNNN

[Cutiebone]

I really want a tablet... T.T

[Lord of Madness]

I finally got a tablet! I drew an eye on it

[Jenzy]

Got mine yesterday!

I think I'm really capturing the idea of how to use my Wacom Bamboo Capture~

It's fantastic!

[ChocolateRain]

Got my new Bamboo over a week ago and I love it. Didn't draw that much before. Though I have to say I find working in Gimp with it more easy than in Inkscape. Somehow I couldn't yet get used to doing vectorizing with it.

Attention! I'm getting a tablet for Christmas (I HOPE) but my price range is $200-, whatever StarSong goes with I probably will go with! Bamboo Splash or Bamboo Create... whatever one I get, I would love it to work in GIMP and Inkscape

What kind?

It's the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch Medium (3. Generation). First I thought it's quite large, but now I appreciate it.

I ordered a Bamboo Splash!

I actually just bought myself a tablet about two weeks ago. It's a Bamboo Create.
I must say, and maybe it's just me, I really have to get used to using it.
I just hope I didn't end up making a bad investment because, initially, it felt like I could do better with a mouse when I was testing it.

Trust me: You can't... Just get used to it...

[Cutiebone]

For me, I can't just use a mouse, it isn't possible... I have to scan drawings, paint over them, then delete the background base, that's why I think a tablet would help me so much, if I tied just using a mouse it would look like garbage

Sea Foam, did you draw traditionally before you got the Bamboo Create?

I want a tablet    Vectoring takes up alot of time, although the lines might be smoother.

I find myself working better in Microsoft Paint with a mouse than a tablet. My tablet is usually used in Photoshop Elements. I still am better with a mouse all-around, but I think I'll get used to a tablet. ( If only I used it more often.)

Essentially, I do the same as you: Draw on paper, scan it in, paint over it in Photoshop..... just with a mouse.

I actually just now finished a drawing in which I heavily used my tablet, and it made things go much faster. Though I fear it may seem a bit sloppy, as it's difficult to get used to at first. I think I got the hang of it for the most part.

From what I've heard, and tried myself a bit, vectoring is MUCH harder with a tablet. The mouse is much more steady and works better, all in all.

Matches my observations for now... Though I thought I'd just have to get used to it. In the end the tablet made me draw more. And that's a good thing.

My tablet will be here wednesday

Yay...

Which one will you get?

EDIT: Found it in the thread... It's the Bamboo Splash... Have fun with it.

With the mouse, I just "cheated" using the "Paths" Tool in GIMP, much like how some art are vectored in Illustrator...
I also used Veggie55's technique without even knowing he did that too...

StarSong's request was the first thing I've drawn on my Bamboo Capture. Sketched her pony on Autodesk Sketchbook, and later colored it in Photoshop Elements. I shared screens with FakeSmile while I was drawing her...

EDIT: I used Paths with the tablet once, and it's far easier moving the curves with it... Since you can have the cursor "jump" anywhere on your screen quickly...

My tablet came early!!!
