wow thanks a lot, i didn't know about the paper on the tablet. The biggest problem i have when i draw is that the surface of the tablet, it is too soft and make it uncomfortable to draw. thanks so much!!
Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only person who puts paper on my tablet. I never knew it was a tip in the first place, just thought to myself when I first got it: "I don't wanna scratch this new tablet so....*puts paper on it* problem solved! Yet it looks kinda weird."
Hi there! I'm a big fan of all your works and I just got a new laptop and a graphics tablet (Wacom Bamboo) and I don't know where to begin! :/ I've done some sketches and tried coloring them but I can't get the tone, shadow to look good. :(
I too own a Wacom Intuos 2 (have it for around 10 years!) but I can't seem to make it work on a Windows 7 machine! Can't tell if it's the OS or the PC itself.
Did you have any compatibility problems with yours? Are you still on XP?
@allluckyseven Damn, I'm still on XP, so I haven't tried that yet. That sounds annoying and most likely has to do with the 64bit vs 32bit OS/CPU, if I had to guess.
If you're saying that there would be a conflict by using a 64-bit CPU with a 32-bit OS (Win7 x86), then that might be the case (though I can't tell for sure yet). I have my doubts about that.
Or it could be something with this particular configuration.
I'm yet to test XP on that PC so we'll see. But the guys at Wacom told me it should work, even though the tablet is "a bit old".
@allluckyseven Just as an update: I am using Windows 7 on my new computer and used the wacom 6.2 driver from their website. My Intuos2 seems to work fine on Windows 7 with it.
@sinixdesign Would you mind listing the components of that machine?
I guess I might have gotten one configuration in which mine doesn't work (namely, a dp55wg intel mobo), though I think I've tested on another computer and it didn't work there either.
I think using paper might hurt the nibs... The newer tablets actually have a sensor that feels a lot like paper. I bought one recently, and was really surprised by the fact that it doesn't feel like drawing on ice any more! :)
i used the paper trick too, but know i've got a cintiq, and that's when you find the felt nips interesting. it helped me get used to the glitchy surface of the screen. know i'm using the nip with the spring and find it actually really pleasant to use.
@sinixdesign for me it was a live changer, i alway had a hard time getting used to not looking where i'm drawing. so all i can say is, i'm in love with it haha.
but i know people who are so used to looking at the screen that they prefer sticking with their intuos or bamboo.
but my drawing have improved a lot since i have the cintiq. before i would prefer traditional drawing because it felt more natural. but know it's the opposite.
either way i love your videos so keep them coming.
@jimipatterson Thanks! I don't have after effects or know how to do intros properly, so I took the ghetto route and just made it as an animated GIF in photoshop.
I use a cheapskate $40 "Bamboo Fun", because yknow... I'm cheap. Is there anything to look forward to if I were to buy a more pricey tablet? As far as I've experienced, I haven't had much "you get what you pay for" nonsense, though I have no frame of reference.
@Squeezyness I've never used the bamboo, so I can't tell you if there's any noticeable difference. Honestly, I don't expect there to be any real difference. Generally, you're just paying more for the size... which is only a personal preference factor. So, it's not one of those "get what you pay for" situations where you're getting any less of a tool for less money. As long as you don't feel it holds you back from achieving the control you aim for, then it's probably quite fine.
yeah...you use the paper trick too!! i start used this trick when my wacom surface become slick/worn off..

Nono, nothing to do with that. Well, I think.
