I'm here just to take some time off, and enjoy some artwork. I've been working so much and have been using my artwork for supporting my family that I've realized that I have to take some time and just enjoy drawing again.

Being self employed has its ups and downs, but I said to myself... "Self... you need to go back and draw like you used to, just because you enjoyed drawing".

It is a tough balance between drawing for work and drawing to get paid. I've felt the frustration come up on me more lately. Maybe its the whole economy thing but I got to do something to offset these pressures and get my mood back up. I need to be more of a happy-go-lucky kind of mood like I used to be. I just feel bad for those around me that have to put up with the grumpy side... but its only temporary... I hope.

Help with Tablet

Tue Oct 20, 2009, 11:51 AM
I've took the dive into using a tablet early last year. I've always heard bad stuff about them so I never bothered with one. I then bumped into a Wacom ad so I decided to look into it. I then found a wide variety of tablets available. So at the end, because of price, I went with the Small Bamboo Fun.

I love it. It is totally awesome. It even feels weird now to use a mouse. I can't imagine working without it.

Well now it has been upgraded. The new one is called Bamboo Touch. It is basically the same but now can be used as a touch pad like on your laptop. This is pretty cool. I went to go look at it today and found it at Best Buy for $99. I then saw that the new Intuos 4 was $199. Not much of a price difference since I've thought that the Intuos was more of a "pro-grade" tablet.

My question are....
1) Is the Intuos that much better of a tablet?

I've also looked at the tablets that are screens. I've seen some videos here of some artist that use the Cintiq. The one that I think I like is the 12WX. It is compact and portable. Plus the most affordable of the two I've seen.

2) Does anybody have any good/bad things about this tablet (Cintiq 12WX)?
3) How does this compare to the Bamboo or Intuos?

If anybody has help, I'd like to hear it. I've looked at reviews online but they are so all over the place.
Well thats it for now. Hope to hear from somebody :)

Thanks,
JP
