You have to get used to looking at the screen while you draw, paint etc.
It will not take you long.
As far as tutorials to actually do postwork, check the marketplace.

And some people like me lack the co-ordination to ever be able to manipulate a pen with my right hand while staring straight ahead at a computer monitor.
I had a small Wacom Tablet and the area was something like 4" or 5". Pretty useless.
If you are getting a tablet, get a large one.
Also, If you get an Intuos 2, or one that is compatible with the pens and tools for it, PM me. My tablet broke and I have brand new pens including the airbrush one that I want to sell.

If you are looking for general post-work tuts, you can't go wrong with Kirisute's tutorials which are available for free here: http://www.startiste.com/storefront/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6
<-insert words of wisdom here->
I think there are some more of his tutorials at Daz in the tutorial area as well.

In the case of tablets, it isnt a question of large or small, but what your style of painting/drawing is. If you like to paint primarily with your wrist (ie small precise strokes) then a smaller one works much better then a larger one. In this case a large tablet will actually tire out your hand. And if OTOH you like to make large sweeping strokes with your entire forearm, then the large format ones work better. Generally for postwork or textures, where you need controlled strokes, a size like 6x9 is a nice comfortable size to work with.
Of course the best bet is to actually try out different sizes and find which size is most suitable for you.
An odd little bit of personal experience: Partly as a result of desk layout and stuff, when Mice first appeared I got into the habit of using my mouse left-handed. I now use a graphics tablet, right handed. People have told me they've had problems going from mouse-style control to pen/tablet style. Well, I reckon a part of it all, is to do what you can to make the tablet different. I find I can sit back a bit, and almost relax, almost like an artist with a sketchpad. I want to get over that computer-geek-mouse-keyboard headspace. In fact, it's probably worth getting some pencils and a small sketchpad, and just doodling.

OK i'm going to bite the bullet and buy a Wacom Tablet for post work in poser 6. Does anyone know where there are some good TUTS regarding post work using a tablet? Thanks in advance.
