Learning to use a Wacom Tablet

Daily Tablet Sketch February 2th 2004

While I have owned a Wacom Graphire Tablet for years, I have not been one to use it very often. Now, working at Stardock, I am going to need to do a lot more concept drawings, Luckily I am actually getting paid to do these things, and I have a nice big Wacom Tablet sitting on my desk.

So I am using this as a nice excuse to Learn to use the tablet, and set aside the pencils.

I have decided to set aside 15 or 20 minute a day to do a little sketch, I’m thinking 600x600. Currently I am going to use Photoshop, which is not quite as nice for this type of thing as Painter 8, but has more then enough Tablet support to do what I want.

I started Friday, and am still feeling pretty shaky with the tablet. Its going to take me awhile to get the hang of having my and one place, and having what I’m drawing appear some place else.

Well, as I learn I will post a more.
