graphical tablet madness oh baby my slash is broken... argh yes ooooh
My god, this thing is so cool I'm going to have to go home and put on some pants, just so that I can attempt to fit this graphics tablet inside them.
For those of you who don't know... well as of entry last night there's probably not a lot of you; this morning I went to a local distributor of various graphic design products and bought a wacom graphics tablet. Specifically this one.
Its freaking huge!
The drawing area is like the size of the viewable area on my 17" CRT monitor (albeit a crappy monitor). Its the best size for holding in your lap while you draw. Oooh, so goood. :)
Now I just have to learn how to use the stupid thing; then I have to get a lot better at drawing things, and then I'll be able to produce works of digital art which will astound any audience I choose to place my creations in front of! I can barely wait.
There's a long road ahead. Probably fraught with peril and chocolate, and it will undoubtedly involve me linking off here to lots of really terrible awful pictures I'm attempting to draw whilst I embark on the perilous path of the struggles of the artiste.
One thing I don't want to do is get discouraged about this and stop using the damn thing, please nobody let me do that... especially when I can actually plug it into a laptop and still get a decent amount of battery life... its a portable sketchpad, with a hefty pricetag.
At least its relatively immune to having coffee spilt on it... ooh, but wait! Imagine the lines you could snort of this monster of a flat surface! My godfather! ^^
