damn i hate your connection speed Cameron...

I've gotta say, you're pretty handy with that tablet. I have
one here but I never use it because it feels too unnatural
watching the monitor while drawing on another surface (the
tablet).

ship over to montreal, I'm sure I could find a use for it I begged for my tablet for 6 months before christmas, and then I finally got it. I turned on photoshop, plugged my graphire in, and..... nothing, hadn't the feintest idea of what to do with the sucker. 3 weeks later, after not touching it once, it suddenly became very handy for drawing in the tongue during a 6 rfame sequence for the lizard in my stop motion film. After that, I've pretty much picked it up every time I worked on an image (though my bomberman image with Rohyphnol, I barely touched it oddly enough..). Point being, when I first got it, i thought the learning curve was gonna be HUGE. It really did feel quite unnatural. However, once the need for it arose, I quickly adapted. Keep in mind, I'm canadian, so anyone could adapt.

and all this time i thought you were playing with the contents of your closet!! grin i want a tablet..... sighs

Cripes, I wonder how I survived before I got mine a few months back.... certainly those texture pictures wouldn't be half as good without it. Strangely, I had no trouble adapting to it, it feels more natural than a mouse, that's for sure!!!! (",)

Using a mouse is like using a brick when you are trying to fine tune things or make that tricky selection....couldn't live without one now..

Cool sketch Slynks! Tablets rock, and when I win tatts and by myself a 12x12" Intuos you can have my graphire Chris! But they do take a bit of getting used to...Keep practicing Artemia! BTW..Slynky's movie is way cool!!! :-)>
