In recent years, however, I&#8217;ve grown dissatisfied with this process, especially after I rearranged my work area and packed away the space-hogging Ikea table I used to use as a drawing surface. This left me without a decent drawing area so this week I&#8217;ve finally capitulated and bought an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wacom.eu\/index2.asp?lang=en&amp;pid=8001\" target=\"_blank\">Wacom Intuos<\/a> tablet. The Giger-esque mess above is the result of playing around in Photoshop for a couple of hours. Having spent years using the blunt instrument of a mouse for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2007\/10\/13\/new-things-for-october-2\/\">Photoshop painting<\/a> the combination of pen and tablet had immediate benefits, and I&#8217;ve found them both very easy to use. The sensitivity of the pen is impressive, something I was always dubious about. With the right brush selection it&#8217;s almost exactly like using a pencil or pen. Almost. I&#8217;m still not feeling as entirely in control of the end result as you do when drawing on paper, but I&#8217;ve not even used the thing for a whole day yet so I imagine that will change. I&#8217;m also surprised by how quickly the nib wears down; fortunately the pen comes supplied with a small stock of fresh nibs. The next week or so will be spent in further experimentation so if any interesting results materialise I&#8217;ll post them here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never used a graphics tablet for drawing, in the past if I needed to draw something I&#8217;d use pencil and paper then scan the results.
