Is there another brand of stylus with an ink pen tip compatible with the Wacom Intous? Figure if there is anyplace to ask this would be the place. Hey I love my tablet, it's the best darn thing ever for making textures, only thing is well I'd like to use a stylus that has an ink pen in the tip, that would let me really draw. Meanwhile, I could actually stare down at what I was drawing on paper instead of the disconnected feeling of draw and stare at the screen. In a perfect world I'd have a flat screen I could use as my tablet, but that's not happening anytime soon. (oooh Cintiq) I've seen gimmicky tablet items that are pen styluses that work on a special legal pad, or special ones for palm pilots. Is there anything that is compatible with a Wacom Tablet?

Waccom makes a pen stylus - check out their site. Or you can draw on anything and then scan it in. I like using the tablet to alter works after they've been scanned. - using all the brushes and color control, etc. Those things you have to look at the screen for anyway. Also there is paper that is pressure sensitive - leaves a mark when you press on it. You can put a sheet of that on your tablet then use your stylus to press on it. All kind of a hassle to me.

Thank you, yes found the Intuos1 Pen. I'm fine doing most things like airbrushing and erasing with precision, but an ink pen would help me leave paper behind. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with my stylus in my left hand and mouse in my right.
