good ones are expensive, a few hundred dollars, I'd buy a Wacom personally when I finally do... but this is just a cheapie I've been eyeing off for a while. Today when I went to the store it was on sale so I just bought it. It will be fine for me until I've mastered the whole thing a bit more. It was $60, and it's about a 6 by 10 inch drawing surface, with another inch all around for custom button areas.

Artrage can be more interesting coz it feels a bit more "material" (it recreates the grain of the paper/canvas and stuff) and there are proper drawing tools implemented that interacts in a cool way. Photoshop is great too coz you can do wathever you want with it, potentially limitless stuff.I like to use both, artrage has layers and stuff and can export things in psd so you can work with both together.

yeah t&b, with a wacom bamboo fun A5 you can do a lot of stuff (that's what I'm using now) and is not too expensive, it has decent qualities and specs.
then you can try with a 21" cintiq hehe.
Weird fact: I like to put a paper sheet on the tablet surface, the pen works flawlessy and the "feeling" is much more "realistic" than drawing on the original smooth surface (even if it's studied to give the feedback of paper and stuff).

is the 'paper' just a layer that is an image, or do the types of brushes/inks interact with the paper in ways similar to real media?

:P I will I will, in the morning. My mind has brainfreeze right now. I kind of want to do an all nighter, but I'd just be as bored and lonely in the morning as well as tired.

phoenix · 10.01.2009, 09:47 AM

Nicfit do you have any examples of stuff you've spent a while on? Do you 'paint' or have a style?

nicfit · 10.01.2009, 09:58 AM

To be honest I'm a bit shy about the "serious" drawings I do, I like better posting simpler things...I don't think I've a particular style? Dunno. I just go with the flow he he, no academic studies on the thing.
Anyway, I don't draw much with the tablet lately, I'm into different ways to "do my stuff" (see some of the portrait series somewhere in the post your art thread), I draw since I was like 4 yo, I need to sparkle things up again in that field hehe.
the hell am I sayin'?

nicfit · 10.01.2009, 10:01 AM

p.s. there are some pics of old (like 10 yo) "manual" drawings on my semi-abandoned flickr

phoenix · 10.01.2009, 10:12 AM

your sketchyness is awesome. I'd love you to post more! but, understand if you don't want to.

My lines are never so bold or neat. My drawing style is really.. it would probably be described as being incredibly un-confident in my strokes. But it isn't intended that way, and if I want to lay down single lines I can. Usually though I draw over and over in layers with bits everywhere. It changed in a snap when I was about 14. One of my art teachers really canned into me that I can't be such a perfectionist with every little piece and to just let loose.. and nothing much has changed since then. It's nice because I kind of have two completely different ways of drawing. I can sketch very very fast, or I can spend hours neatening things up.

Do you use yr drawing in your work, or do you do something completely unrelated for a living?

I'd say 50-50

, but I don't feel like discussing such things in "public"...

anyway, about the different strokes, when I draw for "personal pleasure" I can go for different styles somehow (see the first thing I posted in here, pretty "defined", and that other "no thief" thing, which is basically a continuous line going on and on keeping the pen on the tablet will I get the "form" I want)...dunno, it's very much a matter of instinct of the moment for me...that artrage examble in BW took like 20 secs to be done...it's weird.

cd is once more in the works. I guess I'm keeping the name of whatever mix I'd previously made because it's written on the cover.

been raking it in my mind over the last few days though
