@TimeshipStudio Thanks

are you using a tablet? could be a silly question

[lockianhound]

@HaVoC6543 Yes but you don't necessarily need to use one. The pen tool and a mouse will work.

@lockianhound cheers yeaa, im already working with mouse and pen tool, im wondering if its any worth getting a tablet, because when i last used one it felt really uncomfortable to be looking at the screen rather than paper

[lockianhound]

@HaVoC6543 It takes a little while to get used to but I think the results are better than a mouse and it's more fun. Of course if money is no object, you could always buy a Cintiq.

@lockianhound yes, maybe even better, as you can make better control, especially of the longer complex lines
