Wohoo :party:

I got myslef an AIPTEK graphic pad, very nice.. but kinda strange or a bit difficult to use..

Any suggestion from people who have been using them for a bit?
Do you still recommend scanning hand drawings and then tracing them in Freehand Or Illustrator? Or With practice you get pretty good at just straight drawing?

start some airbrushing in photoshop. :thumb:
make sure you install the drivers to the tablet first. you can select with most tools Pen stylus for its sensativity pull down menu in photoshop.

if you have a steady hand then you can trace images straight to the computer from the tablet, but like me , i scan them in and work at it that way.

It might be difficult to use at start, but try to force yourselve to use it one day without the mouse and you will see that it comes natural , i use both sometimes, the mouse to move around to menus and the tablet pen for working precision.

Have fun :beam:
