Drawing Tablets

>>3042192
Learn them on paper, because there won't be any Ctrl+z to save you...

The smaller your brush is, the more difficult it becomes to draw. You'll never get used to it.

For painting is fine, but for drawing you'll have to look for a large tablet or a cintiq.

make sure it is mapped properly to your monitor. Try tracing a circular object on your tablet and see if it produces a circle on your screen.

do a lot of 30 sec drawings. they'll help you get more used to using ur tablet. u can learn funsdamentals on ur tablet, dont worry

to make it clear for this anon,

put a round object on your tablet and circle it while looking at the tablet, not the monitor, after you are done look at the monitor and see if you got a circle and not an oval

Hand eye coordination,nigga. Also set the pen sensitivity to a comfortable value,and map the screen to the tablet properly.
Don't you play video games ? Do you have to look at the mouse to see where are you shooting on the screen ?

30 sec drawings? Like quick sketches of simple shapes?

I had a bamboo fun for ~5 years and absolutely hated it with a passion. Picked it up for 30 minutes of drawing once a year with the same horrible results.
Earlier this year I did the same thing and everything worked out without a hitch. The only explanation I've got is that it has to do with doing a lot of live model drawings where you hardly look at the paper at all because of limited time, and that I spent a few months only drawing with pen and no erasing. And it might sound stupid, but after I got into that shitty old second hand 30 bux tablet my hand-to-eye coordination and spatial drawing abilities has gone through the roof. I can do 30s gesture drawings with my eyes closed that were better and more correct than the ones I did a year ago, I draw straighter and more confident lines, my regular live gestures are much better, and other types of slightly different types of art that I usually don't work with just "clicks" in a way it didn't do before.

I can't give any proper tips on how to get adjusted to it, but keep at it until you do because it's fucking great (although I still prefer pen and paper)

South American does look good. It's the people that's the problem.

I never get these threads. I got a drawing tablet as a gift when I was 12 or so and still couldn't draw well. Getting used to it probably took a day. At most a week. I spent a lot of time gaming, but I think a lot of it was just being young and learning quickly.

It wasn't even mapped to the screen correctly because I was still using a 4:3 monitor and didn't want the edges of my tablet to be unfunctional and turn the active area smaller. I mean, that fucked with my drawing on anything else until I upgraded my setup. Never realized why everything seemed off with drawing on paper for a while, as I forgot screen mapping was a thing and that I've been drawing things skewed for years.

Even this man's house was beautiful.
