Digital Tablet


I splurged on a digital tablet this month. Atypical impulse buy -- Journeyed had them on sale. I used to have a first generation years ago which I used with Photoshop and in lieu of a mouse until I lost the pen. Couldn't justify buying another one as by then Photoshop had better tools for selecting areas. Also I had finally made peace with the mouse. For years I would either use a trackball or some other type of pointing devices because I think mice are ergonomically evil and good sources for carpal tunnel.

Here's my first sketch using new tablet -- froggie. It's interesting that one has to press really really hard to get a dark line. Also the pen is cheap plastic, not like the metal one that came with my first tablet.
