I have a "Wacom Intuous 3", 6" x 8"

I used to have a 4x5 one but couldn't get the hang of it, plus it kept losing it's programming. Thinking that the reason I just couldn't get the hang of it was because of it's small size, I bought the 6x8 one.

I still can't get the hang of it. I've finally come to the realization that using a pen-tablet and trying to mimic drawing on paper while looking at something other than the paper (tablet) itself, gives me a sense of being disconnected.

So the tablet sits on my desk, covered in junk and acting as a very expensive coffee/dinner placemat.  

I think about selling it from time-to-time, but keep hanging onto it thinking that one day I'll try figuring it out again.

What I really need is one of those tablets that you can actually look at while drawing on it.  Out of my price range though.

 

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
