Wll here goes eh.. after years and years of doodlingaway to my hearts content I've gone and made the leap and got myself a nice little wacom tablet along with a bucket load of programs to use it with.
I've got to say the first obstacle I've had has been just getting used to actually looking at the screen while using the tablet. It's a little strange trying to sketch out something and not see/feel it right there by your fingers. My first attempt turned out like something my nephew would draw as a 3 year old! I suppose I could always pass it off for an "abstract" when no-ones looking ;o)

The other thing is just getting the hang of all the different options and brushes/effects available to use. Almost feel like I'm being swamped at the moment. Once I work out what brushes work for my style I think I'll be fine and I've barely begun to actually PAINT on it yet.. god help me..
