Drawing on the computer - a breakthrough!


Wacom drawing

I've had a Wacom tablet for years. It's great for all kinds of photoshop & painter stuff, but I've never been comfortable drawing with it because the pen slides around. The surface of the tablet's got no "tooth," which is a drag. I was showing the tablet to an artist friend and she noticed the same problem. In a solution so obvious it's got me slapping my forehead, she put a piece of paper on top of the tablet. Works great, nice tooth, easy as pie to draw with. I cut the paper to match the screen outline on the tablet and taped it at the top and the bottom. This is what I've drawn with it so far.
