    The Four Flames?

    So I got a tablet today, and I was super excited so I made this...



    I'll be the first to admit, not that great at all

    This is less of a bragging thread, and more of a

    "what's best to use a tablet for?"

    "what are some good techniques?"

    etc. etc.

    So, tablet users out there, I'm talking to you. Help me out by getting me started on the right foot with my tablet

    post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

          go mess around with the settings abit, find out EVERY way you can adjust the pen/tablet, and i would suggest enabling every possible option at first, and turn off what you don't need, i would set detection to 10-20%, since it gives somewhat of a pencil feel..i am more confortable with pencil.

          if you use photoshop, go to window>brush>shape dynamics/other dynamics> pen pressure

          what model/brand did you get? ;D

              Just because he used the same stock photo doesn't mean he ripped the image...

                  p.s. I actually put these amazing things called "drop shadows" in the picture.. OOOOOOOOH

                  jesus christ, you really want to nail me for ripping...



                  This thread does have the picture that I got inspiration from. You can go to it and see that I didn't rip it.

                  and to Renevatia, I'll dick around with the settings, and lowering the pressure was very helpful, so thanks

                  I just have a Wacom bamboo, I think it's called

                    ahh bamboo, i think it half the stats of intuos ..but since you are doing sigs for the most part, i think you will be fine.
                    i really love intuos though..gives more feel when drawing cause of texture..not sure if that makes sense lol

                    (i dont have an intuos)

                        LOL, it's cool, I know they look funny, this was an attempt at something, idk

                        and to renetavia, those intuos look sweet, aren't they the ones that have the scrolling sidebar? I've heard a lot about those, that's what the pros use, you should get one, pretty much because you're pro

                        but yeah, a bamboo is fine for me, it'll get the job done.

                            Coaster.
                            Protecting your desk from hot plates.
                            A hard surface for doing sudoku puzzles.
                            A weapon.
                            A stand for DvDs/books, other stuff that tends to get piled up on the desk.
                            Something else gathering dust on your desk.
