Title: Graphics Tablets
Post by: rogerdee on July 14, 2010, 06:48:33 AM

Ok i thought this might be the best place to ask.
Do any of you guys use a graphics Tablet when skining?
I've been looking around at some and was wondering if it would be any help with skining .
There's not much you cant do with paint shop and a mouse so i was wondering on you guys
thoughts.

I used to use em for ps work 10+ yrs ago (the old wacom adb ones) and they are just brilliant compared to using a mouse. you cant really use brush tools properly without em. much easier to manipulate as you'd expect but the pressure sensitivity is the real bonus. I used an A5 size and that was big enough :aok

I use my Wacom tablet about 30-40% of the time. However, since a lot of the parts of my skin are very "pixel by pixel" type, I've found I'm more accurate with a mouse.

Basically for shapes and paint, and similar, I use my wacom. For Panel Lines or extra "precise" items, I use my mouse.
