Quote - 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.

 

Exactly this, down to make and model.
