New drawing tablet acquired!!

Posted by Cacctus32 - 12 hours ago


Recently got a new, screenless tablet for my pc! Previously I used Medibang on a tablet to draw but I found it to be very frustrating software to use. I am not used to the feel of a screenless tablet at all and coupled with having to learn new software from scratch right now this feels worse to use than those Mario Maker 2 styluses with a rubbery tip to draw on Switch that break after 2 weeks but I am hoping that with time I can get used to the feel of this thing and be able to draw more flexibly with more robust software (if you have any recommendations, feel free to let me know! I am new to all of this >_>).


Also, first post on here! I didn't think I'd ever use this feature and don't expect to reach many people but it seems nice to let whoever follows me consistently on here know U^ェ^U

What tablet did you get? I have a tiny little Intuos Wacom, and it was a bit to get used not only to the interface but also the proportions of screen to tablet. I got the hang of it by just playing around with it a lot and I can say that I didn't touch it for a year and when I picked it up again I still knew how to use it. I mostly use Krita btw but I've also used Blender ( I think I recommend Krita of the 2 unless you wanna animate mayhaps? )

Thanks for the reply! :^) I have a Wacom One, it's medium size so it's pretty comfortable to use, doesn't have any buttons or anything but it seems solid and I'll just have to train my hand-eye coordination probably :P I've started with Krita but it's so overwhelming to learn! if you have any tips like what shortcuts to set or dockers to use I'd love to know because I don't have any sort of workflow right now (+_+)

@Cacctus32 I think the only tip I can give is that if you know how to use a mouse then you know how to use a screenless tablet as it is basically the same motor skill. Idk but framing it like that helped for me.

As for Krita, and keep in mind I'm not exactly a journeyed artist, I just cut down most of the features down to the most basic stuff I needed aka layers, having a brush that works, knowing how to change color, and the most basic tools like erasing and doing straight lines, and just start experimenting from there. I don't think there's much point in throwing yourself to all the little features from the get go (true for every piece of software). Everything else I'd probably just recommend YouTubing for maybe even your local Art forum cuz people no doubt use Krita
