So I have finally gotten adjusted to the new tablet I think. It is weird at first, but after a few hours playing with it, I never want to go back to mouse again. It's so smooth and fluid.
When I was still pondering my purchase, one thing I always asked myself was how it really had the feel of pen on paper like so many reviews I read have read. Well I can tell you the active area itself is smooth as a bell, but when you apply the pen to it, the friction there is very similar to the feel of a sheet of paper.
And as far as my first piece of tablet art? Well the only thing I really did was contributed to this thread. It was a quick doodle as well as another post.
Anyways, I'm going back to the tablet now. I have no idea what to draw though...
