Graphics tablets


My sister the artist has a large Wacom tablet, but hardly ever uses it because she can't get used to drawing without seeing the image under her pen, and the kind with the screen is just too expensive. She also has trouble coordinating her movements with pressing buttons while drawing, and always ends up just scanning the image (which is really not ideal for web work because then you get artifacts, the lines aren't clean, etc.) Is there any way to cope with these problems so my sister can use her expensive graphics tablet?

Re: Graphics tablets


just tell her to practice more. you're not going to be good at many things just starting out or using them sparingly. she has to jump in and make it work for her.

True indeed, but I was hoping some people who had experienced the same thing might be able to give her some tips

Re: Graphics tablets


some excellent sites there! I'll pass them on and hope she'll keep trying, creating images directly on the computer is a good skill to have these days.

Re: Graphics tablets


you do all that without a graphics tablet? You must have very good coordination
